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

I thought the goal behind all of this was to eradicate corruption. ...of course, you said you found this in the... dungeon, did you not? I suppose it is likely that it came from a prisoner... unless it's meant to throw us off.
no subject
[He'll move to pick up the book and flip through the pages thoughtfully.]
Anyways, if no one else wants it, I'll take care of it for now. Feel free to grab it from my room if I die.
no subject
[don't even joke about that, mahiro]
no subject
I'm just pointing it out, because it's not like I'd have any use for it then.
[look, being a team player is hard okay...]
no subject
she'll keep quiet about that for now, though.]
In that case, we'll certainly bear that in mind. It would, of course, be vastly preferable for you to not die.
[they've had one trial and she's so tired of people dying already :( ]
no subject
no subject
[Not that she thinks she'll get anything further out of this than Sen, but curiosity compels. She braces herself for the inevitable abuse the thing'll hurl at her.]
I'm curious though... did you ask either the Sage or the Teishu about the book's owner or contents?
no subject
[Catch, Misora?!]
No. I wasn't gonna risk having it confiscated before I was done with it if it turned out to be something they didn't want us to know about.
no subject
She catches it, but the instant it lands in her hands, it snaps viciously and she drops the thing anyway. Cursing under her breath as the book attempts to scuttle away, she gives the book a solid kick towards the tree trunk and picks it up in the few seconds that it seems dazed or ... whatever's going on with it.]
Do you think you've gotten everything you can out of this... thing or do you plan on sitting on it for a little while longer?
[Perhaps literally sitting on it, who knows.]
no subject
I was gonna memorize it first, but if you wanna look at it, feel free.
You think you can find some use out of it?
no subject
[Misora flips through the pages relatively quickly, raising an eyebrow at the revolting drawings.]
I don't have any clear ideas yet... but Kurosaki is supposedly a witch, isn't he? We should probably ask him about black magic... ow
[Fucking book and the papercuts it causes!!]
...If he's still around at the meeting anyway. Or perhaps we can duplicate one of these drawings and show the Teishu?
no subject
I already know about his magic. I doubt it's the same as what they're talking about with all the corruption.
[Is that a bit of a disgusted look on his face? Nah, must be your imagination!! Whatever expression that was there turns thoughtful when she makes her suggestion though.]
If you can find someone to manage it, then go right ahead. What're you trying to get out of showing him?
no subject
...Fast. I'm honestly a little jealous.
[If it's true anyway, she's genuinely impressed. Sounds damn useful to have an eidetic memory, man. She gives the cover of the book a firm smack to get it sit still for a minute. ]
As for what i'm trying to get out of him -- a reaction. Does he recognize the contents of the book, does he have positive or negative feelings attached to the book? Even if he gives no reaction whatsoever, that might lend some credence to the theory that the book was planted in the dungeon deliberately. Of course, answers would be nice too.
no subject
It's nothing to make a fuss about.
[And it honestly doesn't look like he's saying that just to be humble since he actually appears to be a little weirded out by the comment.]
If you think it's worth trying, I don't have any objections. Not like I had any other ideas with what to do with it.
[Aside from maybe smack it around some more or something...]
no subject
Eh? Nothing to make a fuss... [Trailing off, she shakes her head.] Easy for you to say, since you probably don't know what it's like not to have that skill.
[Not that this is really all that important right now.]
Anyway, I do think it's worth a shot, yes. If anyone else has an objection though, I'm all ears.
[...And dun dun dun, the moment of truth.]
But Mahiro-kun... what was with that look when we were talking about Kurosaki?
no subject
What look?
[He's not going to make this easy especially in front of like... at least ten other people??]
no subject
On the one hand, that probably means this has limited relevance to what's being discussed and can safely be dropped. On the other hand, she's also curious, pesky FBI thing that she is. Her tone is a very measured neutral when she speaks.]
You seemed a little uncomfortable when his name was brought up, Mahiro-kun. You don't have a grudge, do you?
no subject
That's also why he just gives her a slightly incredulous look at the question. Sure, he wasn't happy about what happened, but a grudge would be overstating it.]
It's been less than two weeks. Why the hell would I have a grudge?
no subject
His incredulity s a little relieving though. If it's not an extreme scenario then it's probably not going to cause bigger group tensions down the line. She raises an eyebrow.]
Well, why do you feel uncomfortable about it then?
no subject
[Especially in front of all these people...]
no subject
You don't have to tell me anything, Mahiro-kun. But generally speaking, I think it's in everyone's best interests to clear up misunderstandings so that nobody has the wrong idea.
[And cue the inevitable... Well you have the wrong idea, Misora in 3...2...1...]
no subject
There's nothing to get a wrong idea about. We talked a couple times and that's it.
[And absolutely nothing embarrassing happened in any of those conversations. Yes.]
no subject
[She raises an eyebrow, but there's a bit of a grin on her lips. She's teasing at this point because the kid is being stubborn, but she's willing to let it go. Until he gives her reason not to. ...Probably.]
no subject
[Or he'd better, because otherwise someone's going to get shouted at... not that he has much confidence that Jin would be able to hold up to Misora's level of scrutiny but. He'd better. Also don't think he doesn't miss that smile...!]
What's so funny?
no subject
It probably will happen since she has every intention of asking Jin about magic, sorry Mahiro.]Hm? Nothing's funny.
[A beat.]
You must hear that you're too clever for your own good a lot, Mahiro-kun.
