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

he's not here to check on his brats what are you talking about]Well, I doubt everyone could be kept in one room the whole time.
[there's also the small problem that you can still kill someone in a room full of people if you're creative and crafty enough. He won't voice that quite yet though.]
no subject
[Agreeing to the buddy system was difficult enough, and there were still people who didn't go along with it. Which is fine - but it makes coordinating next to impossible.]
We can, however, keep a watchful eye. Should someone who behaves suspiciously appear on the list of suspects... well, that may be where we will want to begin our deliberations at the trial.
no subject
[It could happen]
no subject
[HE PROBABLY WOULD, TOO. Sen frowns.]
My hope would be that he would make it fair. He can hardly measure our abilities for his challenges if he stacks the odds against our favor.

[She shrugs lightly.]
If we see anyone react strongly to it, or if we overhear them mumbling about regrets, for example... and they were to appear on the list of suspects, the chances would be slightly higher that they acted on it, I would say.
no subject
[ A beat. ] I don't want to be paranoid or suspicious of anyone for no reason anymore. Last week, I was wrong. We shouldn't assume the worst of people just because of what the Sage says.
no subject
[She bites her lip.]
...it's not about what the Sage says for me. Last week, I believed that the killer would not have acted on that motive. I don't want to make that mistake again.
no subject
Maybe we're both trying a little too hard to compensate for how we were last week.
no subject
[She sighs, but then she manages a smile.]
...but that just means that if we work together and meet in the middle, we should be able to find the proper balance, correct?
no subject
How about this? If we see someone affected or in pain this week, we try to talk to them! We hear them out, that way they're not so alone.
no subject
[That's the kind thing to do, after all - but Sen is certainly going to take note of anyone who does seem affected, just to remember. Just in case.]
Ideally, we'll all be able to make it through this week without anyone... well. You know. But if we're not, then we can at least be sure we did what we can to keep things peaceful.

We're only going to turn into a mob.
