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.

You can start unwrapping the cloth that covers the tome, but as soon as you start doing so it will start moving on it's own. Like it's a trapped animal and not an inanimate object all.

Uhhhhhh sure, he'll do it carefully so it doesn't slip out of his grip and tumble away or something.]

Well since violence is always the answer, what if he tries to slam the asshole book on the wall a couple times because why the fuck not I guess???
Man. What is his life.]

...the book almost seems to hiss? But it settles down some. Inside you'll find drawings of what can only be described as monsters. Some of them certainly seem to resemble normal creatures like scorpions and snakes, but they're all horribly twisted and mutated versions of themselves. The things out of nightmares, truly. ]
no subject
And wow gross shit, son. Are there any notes or even just names for the creatures? Otherwise he guesses they're just animals that might have been fucked up by the corruption...]

Also he'll check the note out too.]
no subject
But moving on to happier things! The note, written in a girlish hand:]
"Black magic ≈ corruption, huh? This is a good place to restock! "
no subject
This cutesy writing looks out of place here too but who knows, some people have weird hobbies that involve monsters that want to kill you maybe. Still, this is an interesting find, even if he's not quite sure what it all means yet.
Are there any other notes or items of interest contained in the book or are we good?]

...Asshole book giving him papercuts.]
