Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst 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

Well, it's kind of a long story, but I'll try to keep it short.

Basically, I never really wanted to go to Thors, but my dad kinda forced my hand. It's a 2 year school, but after about half a year, I managed to convince him that I was ready to make my own choices. Thors helped me and a bunch of my classmates out and had us graduate after one year instead, and now I'm at the Music Academy in Heimdallr.

My, how impressive that you all graduated after one year. I'm glad to hear that you were able to pursue what you truly love after your graduation at Thors. How have you been enjoying your stay at the Music Academy?

[ she's never been to any academies because princess so she's curious about all this ]

It's been awesome! [He's so excited...] It's really like living a dream. I do miss my old classmates a lot - Machias is really the only one I see super often, since he lives in the capital too - but I'm really just so so glad I've been able to do this.

How wonderful! I'm actually finding myself quite jealous that you've been able to achieve so much!

[He holds up and waves his hands.]

Don't be jealous! I'm sure you've done plenty of really cool stuff, too. [And with that, he actually looks pretty interested! Tell him of your adventures, Natty.]

Hm... well, I suppose I have! I've done the best I can for my kingdom.

[ also the whole journey of trying to get someone to not replace the world with replicas but that's more the group's efforts not hers ]

And that's definitely something worth being proud of!

[Elliot has somewhat limited experience with princesses, but all of the experience he has leads him to believe that princesses are pretty awesome. He has no doubt Natalia is the same way.]

It's .... thanks to a promise that Asch and I had made when we were children.

[ time to get sad ]

[o h

Still, he can't help but be interested. His voice is a little softer, though, as he asks.]


What promise was that? ...If you don't mind my asking, anyway.

[ natalia smiles and closes her eyes as she recites it. ]

"Some day, when we’re grown up, let’s change this country. Change it so that no one has to be poor. Change it so that war never happens. Let's change this world. For the rest of our lives. Together."

[ her voice nearly cracks at the end of it but yep. there is it. ]

[oh gosh her voice cracking makes him mist up a little, damn it asch why did you do this to both of them -]

That's... a really beautiful promise. And honestly... that's a cause I can believe in, too.
