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.

[ Kurosaki was going to say he's not the best at it, more like he's used to making some animals. It's a useful skill when you're trying to make decorations for clubs.

Also, he has a lot of free time on his hands in the Student Council. ]

Kind of. [ His own beat! ] More like notes on everyone...? Just things I noticed, or things they told me that weren't on their profiles.

[gyakusatsu]

You should keep working on those though. At least in your head, you know? Sometimes instincts about people may be wrong, but your intuition is important to keep refining.

[Which, she's sure, he already knows because he's clearly not a dumb kid.]

...Which reminds me, actually.

[And here, she'll actually come down from that tree because she realizes it's rude to just stay up there while talking to people.]

On your plaque.. it says you're a witch. You wouldn't happen to know anything about black magic, would you?

[hoodini]

... I'll think about it. [ Not hard, but. He'll think about it? Maybe he can figure something out that'll help everyone, who knows.

When she hops down, he stands up and brushes his pants off just in case anything got on them. ] Not much more than anyone else here, I think. Miyamura-kun probably knows more about witches and magic than I do.

Why?

[gyakusatsu]

Ah, the biting book that Mahiro-kun found in the dungeon referenced black magic. It may not be the same as black magic in your world, of course, but having... some frame of reference might be more helpful than completely wild guesswork.

[Potentially anyway....]

I'm just curious... what does that term mean to you, Jin-kun?

[hoodini]

O-oh.

[ That makes him feel a little less useful. ]

Uh. Magic, but not necessarily black magic. More like—it relates to something we witches wished for, or at least that's the theory. There are seven witches in total and each one has a different power.

Mine is a "memory dive." I can see a person's past through their subconscious.
