Week 4

Week 4
Sunday - Thursday


You've lost four in the past week—Machias, Vanitas, Natalia and Edna. Just in time for the fourth week to roll around, for those of you who are superstitious. But it really isn't like you could forget that death is a common occurrence in this castle, whether you believe in legends or not. Some of you might find solace in the chance to recuperate and move on, if you're still up for companionship with your fellow warriors.

Either way, dawn is soon upon the castle and like it or not, you will all have to face whatever comes this week.

Like before the pattern repeats itself, with new areas revealed for you to explore. It may be that something worth discovering lies in wait to be found, or you can simple enjoy the new additions for what they are. Distractions are most likely welcome, regardless of your feelings of the past week.



SURVIVING WARRIORS: 21



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

(OOC: Welcome to Week 4 of Ukimiya! Feel free to comment to the weekly top levels and thread as you like, and redeem coins at the wishing pool.

You can contact the sage with your pendants here, and the teishu here.)

I'd say so, but... Narumi-san always had trouble getting close to classmates at school. So in a place like this, it's even harder to get him to reach out, you know?
originallutece: the only sensible person in the room (talk; why must I always be)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm shocked you haven't done it for him.

[That's meant fondly, not nastily.]

It's far easier to make friends when you've a social person to do it for you.

[SHE WOULD KNOW.]
pseudoregelia: (And pushed by a breeze)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

Surprisingly, I'm not very popular at school, either. The newspaper club isn't one of the flashier ones, you see.

[That's definitely the reason and it's definitely nOT BECAUSE YOU BLACKMAIL EVERYONE INTO GIVING YOU DEETS ON SCOOPS, HIYONO.]
originallutece: don't tell anyone but i'm kinda into this whole cyndi lauper business (talk; shit that's mildly catchy)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I assume you put out this same brand of gossip in that club?
pseudoregelia: (I'm going to hold)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Erk.]

I-it's high quality writing!
originallutece: no wait yes i do I TOLD YOU SO (talk; i don't want to say i told you so)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[IS IT]

Given you haven't published anything about me, I'll grant you that.
pseudoregelia: (But it's still painful)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[-!]

My, is there romance blossoming for you as well, Madame Lutece?

[Hiyono this is why no one likes you.]
pseudoregelia: (so I feel)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why must you crush her dreams so quickly.]

Not even with Nishitani-san or Majima-san?
originallutece: very eager to see harm done to someone (happy; this is the smile of a woman)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'm sorry it's what she does

Though she does flash a quick smile at that question.]


No, not with either of them, though not for a lack of trying on Nishitani-san's part-- and if you put that in your paper, I'll be very cross.
pseudoregelia: (I live to make you free)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yes ma'am...

[She Tried.]

But you do get along with them, don't you?
originallutece: significantly more death than marley and me (robert; robert and me)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. Very much so. I trust them.

[And that's . . . that's noteworthy, for all she says it as casually as she can. Rosalind Lutece trusts almost no one, but after four weeks sharing a room with those two (and Tiki), she trusts them very much.

Her smile fades, and for a moment Rosalind looks distracted, but then:]


In any case: yes.
pseudoregelia: (it's so lonely.)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...This place has started all kinds of interesting relationships, hasn't it?

I never would have thought of myself as being on speaking terms with the yakuza, a dragon, and angelic beings... To say nothing of someone who's both dead and alive at the same time.
originallutece: if the loser isn't around to know they've lost? (talk; what's the good of winning)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet here we all are.

Odd, isn't it? It's easy for me to look at events and understand why they occurred, but things like friendships or intimacies . . . they continue to surprise me.

Though I can't say as I'm particularly pleased to be part of this experiment regardless.
pseudoregelia: (I'll be your sea)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If the circumstances were better, I'd almost be glad for it, but as it is...

[Yaaaay murdercastle, ruining everything.]

...But in a way, I'm glad that if I had to be in a situation like this, it's with the people here. Is that strange?
originallutece: please can we just leave the world to burn (talk; here's the reasons this won't work)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I don't think so. Trauma tends to bond even the most different of people, and while we're an eclectic group, no one is truly loathsome. It's only natural that one would be pleased to find themselves with such companions.

[She reviews that, then adds:]

. . . save perhaps the Joker.
pseudoregelia: (and come out at night)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her frown deepens at the mention of the Joker.]

He's the one person I get the least of anyone here!
originallutece: the ojigi tried to eat the delivery boy again (talk; w e l p)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-21 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you truly want to understand a man who flicks eggs at everyone?
pseudoregelia: (I'll be your sea)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd settle for understanding his motivations, at least.

[M...ostly because that's kind of. Pertinent. In a place like this.]
originallutece: no wait yes i do I TOLD YOU SO (talk; i don't want to say i told you so)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Given he seems eager to set himself apart from everyone, given he's openly gleeful at death to the point of sadism, and yet hasn't yet committed a murder . . . I wonder if he's trying to bait us into murdering him.
pseudoregelia: (get angry)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-22 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...You mean in a sort of 'because it would be amusing' way? Or because...

[Well, really, either read into this is dark enough.]
originallutece: nothing can stop me (talk; driven by greed to suceed)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. Perhaps because he wishes to die. In the end, does it matter? The result will be theoretically the same.
pseudoregelia: (I'll be your sea)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-22 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just not so sure I want to see the result of Joker-san having any sort of involvement in his own death...
originallutece: staff meetings are the fucking worst (anger; SIGHHHHHHH)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-23 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'd settle for his death at all.
pseudoregelia: (Far from here)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-23 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
If it does happen one day, let's hope it isn't too convoluted...

[...

She still doesn't condone killing but even she has to accept Things Happen.

More and more people are losing patience with the trials, it seems.
