Week 3
Week 3
Sunday - Thursday
The beginning of the third week starts like the rest, even with the loss of three of your fellow warriors: Chiaki, Hei, and Senhime. Despite your best hopes, it doesn't seem like the trend of murders is going to change: though at least there is some relief to be had from the trial's somewhat unexpected conclusion. The mood in the group is undoubtedly different, but perhaps this experience has made you all stronger— at least one could hope.
In the end, what else can you do but move on?
Like last week, it seems another pattern has established itself: with new areas of the castle for you to explore. Who knows, maybe this week you'll discover something else worthwhile in its depths. Or you can simply focus on surviving— after the past week, surely no one can blame you. Whatever choices you make this week are ultimately yours and yours alone, for better or for worse.

great hall bc i was Summoned
[ head-tilt. She's heard there's mysticism surrounding cards...somewhere, but she doesn't know much about it, aside that it's used it fortune telling. Sounds like something Mion would be into. ]
If you'd like to, sure.
washes blood for the blood rune off of hands
[She's just going to set aside the pen, please don't think too hard about how the drawing appears to be one of Rika Furude, it's not important.]
What would you like to ask the cards?
1/2
[ She thinks for a minute. All of the questions she wants answered, such as "are we ever getting out of here" and "am I going to fucking die again" are a little to heavy for this, uh. ]
no subject
Am I wrong...to be pessimistic? Rika told me to have hope, even in her darkest hour, but I don't see the point. Not expecting anything good protects you from further disappointment.
But is better to try and change that?
no subject
Let's see what the cards have to say, then.
[And so she'll give them a shuffle, laying three out in a horizontal line. Setting the deck aside, she flips the first card - Six of Cups.]
In the past... you were able to spend time with a close family member. It's this time that shapes your present and your future.
[So with that said, she moves to the second card - Nine of Swords.]
...This is your present self. You have lost a loved one to battle, and now you are trapped with feelings of guilt and despair. This card indicates that you need time for healing and comfort in the face of these matters.
[And then, the final card - The Tower. Her hand freezes above it once she's flipped it over.]
...The Tower indicates your future will be full of turmoil. Destruction lies ahead.
[Ominous.]
...However, it isn't a hopeless card, either. The Tower is built up of ego and desires, and its destruction means that you will be rid of those and able to start over anew. Although you will need to endure and adjust, there is still a chance for peace. Survive the trials ahead, and you will come out stronger and wiser.

It's possible, but she keeps her expression neutral. ]
I've already endured a century of turmoil. Is so much more really needed to test me?
[ She already knew the universe was cruel, but c'mon. ]
no subject
[She'd seen that firsthand, both here and in her own world.]
But there's still a chance, Hanyuu-san. Once you've been able to heal... I hope that you are able to endure whatever else this place throws at you and come out even stronger for it.
