Week 7

Sunday - Thursday

With the loss of two more warriors, the castle has grown even quieter still. Such a thing was always bound to become a consequence of your stay here, though the actual reality of it may be more unpleasant. There's been little in the way of parties, which isn't too much of a surprise given your dwindling numbers, but it's still better than nothing, correct?

As with every other week, new locations have been unveiled for you all to either explore or use to casually gather within. If you've been keeping an eye on the cherry blossoms, you'll note that they look just about ready to bloom. The important thing is, of course, that they haven't. But it's only a matter of time, now.

SURVIVING WARRIORS: 12

WEDNESDAY

Library

[ What's up on Wednesday...? Well, not much, evidently, and that's just fine by Nishitani. It's been a slow week and that sakura tree's only getting bloom-ier. It's too late to investigate and too late to stop the storm that's no doubt coming, so what's a guy to do?

Camp out outside the door to the archives, using that bear trap he got last week. Christ almighty, Nishitani, that's so dangerous. Someone seriously need to stop him. ]

Armory

[ Nishitani may have gotten his beloved tantou back but that doesn't mean he isn't still bored. Bored enough, in fact, to pick up one of the many bows and quivers contained within. He can't fire a shot to save his life, of course, but he sure is going to cause a mess in here. He aims a flimsy shot at some of the shields on the rack, but mostly he's getting nicks on the wall and on the floor. Points for effort, maybe? ]

Ah, shit. Who the fuck uses these things, anyway?

[ Guns are better... ]

armory;

[originallutece]

Not much of a shot, are you?

[She's smiling.]

You might well try firing at the sakura tree. If nothing else, it's a far bigger target-- watch you don't hit the inside of your arm.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He laughs. Always nice to see Ros :) ]

Nah, I fuckin' suck. Ain't like I ever did clubs an' shit at school, ya know?

[ Not that he went to school very much, let's be honest... ]

Ya got a point there. I tried carvin' inta it once, dunno if it stuck. Couple'a arrows might do it some good, yeah?

[originallutece]

Let's go see, shall we?

[After all, if the Sage didn't punish him for carving into the tree, he likely shan't for shooting it.]

What did you carve into it?

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani is happy to follow her to the tree. After all, he really is just killing time here. ]

Oh! I wrote Teishu an' North an' I put 'em under an umbrella. Ya know, like 'cause he's got such a big damn crush on 'im.

[originallutece]

That's . . . oddly sweet of you.

[I mean, she knew he shipped it, but that's still a gesture she hadn't expected.]

I rather expected it to be something about you and Majima.

[thecastle]

[ It's around dusk, the same time as last week, that the pond starts to do a water show. You know, like this without the questionable sharks (but maybe substitute koi instead. ]

[divertimento]

[uh

portal to gehenna, what the actual hell are you doing]

[thecastle]

[ Trying to get your attention! After Elliot stares at it, it forms words on the surface with a bright blue light. ]

Call everyone, I have messages.

-L

...and get paper.

[divertimento]

[WELL UH

OKAY

He's just gonna. Run his tiny little self back into the castle and try raising his voice in the great hall. Yelling isn't really his thing, but...]

Hey! The pond has a message! ...Can someone bring paper?

1/2

[thecastle]

[ So when he told you to get paper, he wasn't kidding.

Here you go.

He doesn't go fast, he lets the words linger long enough that surely someone will be able to copy them them down. And then. ]

...there's one more. Don't you dare ask.

[thecastle]

Hi! It's Tiki! I wanted to say hi!
It's really gray and dark here, and it's a little scary. I was really sad before, but Makky and Jan-Jan have been playing games with me and we have lots of fun so it's okay. Makky even got me some colored pencils so I could draw a picture! Rikky and I went on an adventure so I drew that. Lala didn't want to send it to you guys but I beat him in a "logic game" when he said I couldn't and I beat him again when he wanted a rematch so he had to do it anyway. We keep finding cool stuff on our adventures and we don't know about all of it but sometimes people know things about some of it! Sen-Sen told us about some really important sword we found the holder for, but I don't think it's as important as the Falchion, but I bet it's pretty. Rhoda told us about a tube you can use to look at cats. If When I go home do you think Mar-Mar will let me have a pet cat in the palace? I remember Mimi told me about a thing here that's like the Aum Staff in the resurrectory at home but better so I know I'll get to go home but only after I get to see all of you again!
I can't write a lot more or Lala is gonna get really mad but it's okay because I'll see you again soon! Bye bye!

[ Yes, the "Lala" actually appears and then is crossed out pretty much instantly. And then. Finally. You get this masterpiece.

...yeah. ]

[pseudoregelia]

[WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME THAT ELLIOT CAUGHT HIYONO'S ATTENTION BECAUSE ROOMIES RIDE TOGETHER DIE TOGETHER.

She is also dutifully copying all of this, even the stupid stuff jfc guys.]

It seems the dead have plenty of time to lounge around...

[buddyoldpal]

Heheh, sounds like they're havin' fun over there. Think I could place some bets on those fights? I'd pay money ta see Asch-kun beat the shit outta Mako-chan and Jansen-kun!

[devilsphysician]

[Georik pauses, almost walking right on by when he notices the bubbles, and glance around to see if anyone is around before he approaches it, but careful to not get too close]

[aumygoddess]

[ just. pauses. slides up next to him. Pond spirit-kun may have helped them but she isn't any less wary around him. STICKING CLOSE TO FRAND. ]

[devilsphysician]

[He slightly nods to her, agreeing with her assessment of exercising caution. The Emperor was being helpful, but the pond ate two people]

[irrationalities]

[I mean he was just on his way to take a bath but uhhhhhhh sure let's.

Let's just watch this.]

[maddogs]

[ majima, having dutifully thrown the mirror into the pond, is also here. ]

closed;

[maddogs]

[ at eight (do we even have clocks?? 8ish?? we pretended it was 8? use your imagination), majima's waiting next to the sakura tree, having a smoke. his parka is completely zipped up, covering his pendant. if it's too hot, he doesn't seem to be bothered.

his jovial mood is gone, though. he's serious when hiyono walks up. ]

Thanks for comin'.

[pseudoregelia]

How could I refuse a request like that?

[She walks right on up to him, clasping her hands behind her back. Despite the rather suspect time and call, she doesn't seem particularly on edge.]

What did you want to talk about?

[maddogs]

Figured it was fairer ta ya not ta talk in front of anyone else.

[ he drops his cigarette, stepping it out with his foot. ]

You're gonna get in some big fuckin' trouble if you're not careful.

[pseudoregelia]

[...?

She looks at him, confused.]

What do you mean?

[He's... close with the Teishu. Had she overstepped her bounds with those conversations, or...]

[maddogs]

Just some friendly advice.
