Week 2

[thecastle]

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.

Uh, but would you really want to stay here and not go back to your home? I mean, if your home sucks maybe we could see if you could come with someone here or something.

[presomnia]

Not stay stay. [Her expression scrunches; now she's gotta backpedal.] I miss Mar-Mar and Caeda and the palace, but—as long as we are here, until we get to go home, I want to stay with everyone else who's here, so I don't have to be alone.

[notimmortal]

Well, where else would you go anyhow? Not like there's much option besides locking yourself in your room and then how would you eat? Besides you're much cuter than most of these people.

[presomnia]

That's not how I meant it, either! [She'd be annoyed at having to clarify again, but he called her cute so instead she's laughing.] I wouldn't ever do that. I just want to spend time with everyone and be friends and have fun as long as we're stuck here.

[notimmortal]

You're cute and you don't kick my shins, so you're okay in my book and can hang around me all you want. Don't know why you even need to ask because I'd have told you if I had a problem. Man, I must really suck with kids.

[Really, she doesn't need to ask. He's one to speak his mind openly even if it means putting his foot in his mouth.]

[presomnia]

That isn't— [She laughs, though; normally having her point missed would frustrate her but Jansen's so naturally dopey about it she just thinks it's silly. Also, again, calling her cute wins big points.] Never mind, you didn't do anything. Thanks, Jan-Jan!

[notimmortal]

[Well, he's hoping her laughing isn't a bad thing. This place definitely needs more cute girls laughing and smiling.]

Uh, you're welcome I guess? But seriously, keep being you and that's all you need to do. If anyone doesn't like you for that, well that's their problem, not yours.

[presomnia]

Haha, okay. It's just so nice to have so many friends here.

[She skips along to Jansen's side with that, and then a little further ahead.]

Will you help me find something to put these in? [She waves her flowers over her head.]
