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.

Don't we all, Kizakura-san?

[It's a bit of a dodge, but she obliges with a more straight forward response shortly after. It is on her plaque, after all.]

My fiancé. He's probably pretty worried about me.

[Kizakura looks at her sympathetically. A fiancé...he hopes she'll be okay so she returns fine back at home]

If it's any consolation, it's possible once you're out of here it'll be like no time passed back at your home -- I heard someone mention that. Maybe not being worried is better than worrying a lot. I don't know.

I've heard that as well, but... it almost feels like a lie engineered to placate our sense of urgency, you know?

[She seems pensive for a moment, a touch vulnerable even, before her expression grows more stoic again.]

I don't know if it's all that consoling in the end, if it were true. If we die here, does that mean our world remains paused? I'd like to think my survival doesn't have so much hinging on it and that if I did die, everyone could eventually resume a normal life without me.
