Week 2
Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of many—first and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:
The Challenge.
Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.
As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.
But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

...Oh!]
Oh, um... thank you. [He sounds genuinely a little shocked.] That's really sweet of you...
no subject
[ For a moment, she hesitates, then actually dares to sit down on the bed next to him. ]
If there's one thing I've learned during that incident on my plane, then it's that there really are people who will uncover the truth and make sure the bad guys don't win. This... is looking really grim, but I think we have those people here too.
no subject
Mm. I'm sorry for worrying you, though.
[He's far from the only one having a bad go of this, after all!]
You're right about that, I just... I wasn't okay with the idea that any of us could be "the bad guys" to begin with. Now that we've seen what happens...
no subject
[ What a gruesome thing to be prepared for. Her and Cammy may never have gotten along too well, but they lived and worked together... ]
It still hurts. You talked to Mr Asch quite a bit, didn't you?
no subject
Yeah, I did. ...He was kind of... no, really gruff, but I think I'd kind of started seeing him as a friend? He'd been looking out for me, in his own way. And he trusted me enough to ask me to look after Natalia...
I can't deny it or anything, but it's still hard to believe it was him.
no subject
It doesn't make what he did any better, but if he was looking for someone to trust with a loved one, then he's... maybe not all bad.
[ But still pretty bad. It just hurts badly to have been so wrong about someone else. To have your own judgement questioned at the core. ]
no subject
[In other words: Yeah. He's still feeling pretty used.]
I'm still going to do it. Look after Natalia, I mean. She's nice, and she's just as sad and scared as any of us. More so, now. I figure it's the least I can do for... well, for both of them.
no subject
It doesn't seem like she had any knowledge of her fiance's plans, so it would be unfair to judge her for his wrongdoings... She may be hurting more than all of us.
I don't think anyone else knew Mr Asch from home, so you might be in the best place to understand her, still..
no subject
I don't know how much I can help with protecting her or anything, but... if there's anything I can do to help her out, that's gotta account for something, right?
no subject
So there is a lot you can do.
[ It's interesting how words can come to you when you cheer others up, words that you wouldn't tell yourself. ]
no subject
Yeah, you're right. Thanks again.
I really don't know how I'd be holding up if it weren't for people like you around here.
no subject
It's nothing, we're roommates after all. That is as good as a team here.
no subject
Hehe. I like the sound of that. Team Roomie!
no subject
[ She repeats it a little hesitantly, being more used to repeating slogans than cheers, but hey! It's nice. ]
We have your and Machias' experience with crisis situations and Ms Misora's crime solving experience combined in our room, so it's not a bad team set-up at all.
no subject
Ahaha, I don't know how "experienced" we actually are, but we'll do our best to live up to your expectations! [On their honor as members of Class VII, and all that. He's sure Machias would say the same.] But yeah, I think we're a pretty solid team overall!
no subject
[ Well, being dragged into a war is probably generally not something worth boasting about, but Elliot's involvement is...? Yes. ]
Don't sell yourself short.
