Week 6.

[trustfelling]

WEEK 6 Only two died this week; it still feels strange, maybe, but with the deaths of Mozu and Yang Xiao Long, it's difficult to ignore that your numbers are lower. You're almost down to half of the group you started with. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... As before, another set of doors has opened up, this time branching off of the eastern corridor toward the north. Feel free to explore as much as you like; perhaps you've earned it. COMPETITORS REMAINING: 17

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[She joins the choir with]

Ch-- Chitoge?! But how is this possible?!

[gorira]

I-I'll try and explain, once I can breathe a bit, but just, give me a bit...sorry, but, the trip here was pretty, uh...

[ Harrowing. ]

[oasisrose]

O-oh, right, of course! And if we can get you anything, please...!

Come to think of it, have you even eaten anything since the day you... I mean...

[It has been weeks Chitoge must be starving??]

[gorira]

I, um, I didn't need to eat, where I was, but, now that you mention it...

[ Oh man, those are definitely hunger pangs... ]

Y-yeah, please, let's go eat something...and please no brownies.

[oasisrose]

[That brings a smile to Jean's face, as the shock starts to recede.]

Of course! We'll whip you up one of everything except brownies! [She quickly does a scan of the people here -- Cilan, you better not have slept in! -- before she turns back to Chitoge.]

Oh -- what about everyone else? Are they all -- I mean, they're not okay, but -- are they all still here, too? And safe?

[Sorry Chitoge, she's stumbling over her words a bit!]

[gorira]

[ Chitoge will definitely smile right back. God, the fact that she's alive, it may not have completely registered yet, but she's still on the verge of tears. She can't help it, she's here, she found a way-- ]

I'll have to give a more thorough explanation later...but I would assume that they're all just beyond this door.

[ She motions towards a doorway in the courtroom, not too far from where she decided to slump. ]

The way to where we were, it's just beyond that door.

[ But sure enough, it's locked. Figures. ]

[oasisrose]

[You stay slumped, Chitoge, you've earned a break. Jean can check it out! She heads on over, a small chill descending upon her as she gives it a turn...

But a moment later, there's the rattle of someone trying to turn a handle, and the lock catching in the way.]

Um... Chitoge? That might be a problem, then...

[She turns her head, looking at her from over her shoulder.]

Does it only open from one side?

[gorira]

...Fuck, it might...

[ Shit, that's an issue... ]

B-but, if anything, they'll find it eventually. It wasn't too hard to locate it, it was right in Juri's office..I decided to take a peek in there, and the way was lit up, even though it wasn't before. So if more people check it out, they should be on their way...

[oasisrose]

But if they're that close...

... ... ...

You know what? I've had enough of waiting around for doors to open.

[Because it just so happens that this occurred on a week when Jean had a great deal of frustrations to vent. She takes a step back..

Stop her? Or see what happens?.]

[gorira]

[ Who the hell do you think you're talking to? If she wasn't out of breath, she'd be right there with you. Go for it, Jean, be the badass you need to be.

Unfortunately, like the other doors here, it's probably not gonna budge no matter how much you try; hey, though, it's good for punching your troubles away! ]

[oasisrose]

I've got this.

[... no, she doesn't. Because if it were that simple, they would have broken down the other doors already.

But nevertheless, she puts in a good effort. With a short running start, she jumps at the door, leg extended in that flying kick she's demonstrated twice before.] HYAAAA--!! [There's a loud crack as she kicks it, but it's just the sound of the impact. The door doesn't give way, and -- thankfully -- neither does Jean's leg. She's simply thrown backwards, landing in a rough but passable recovery.]

... what does Juri make these doors out of, anyway?!
