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

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

Comments

[coinflipped]

I don't know-- it may belong to someone. I'll present it if we meet as a group.

[A shrug. Hey, he's trying, he really is at this point.]

[buddyoldpal]

Maybe it's Teishu-kun's. Usually ya gotta trade coins fer stuff from the pond, yeah?

[ Being distracted is an important part of moving on, right? ]

[coinflipped]

Maybe since I didn't feed the pond any coins to get it.

[It's part of the reason he's trying again, though he doesn't expect any 'luck' again.]

[buddyoldpal]

I was thinkin' that too.

[ He's really not as dumb as he looks, even if this place hardly makes sense. ]

Some people say this might not be the first time people've ended up stuck in this place. Dunno if that's true, but if Teishu-kun ain't from here, then there really might be shit in there that's his too, eh?

[coinflipped]

There could be stuff of his, yeah. I haven't really spoken with him, so I imagine if I bring it to the meeting, perhaps others could talk about it...

[He gives a bit of a thoughtful hum.]

[buddyoldpal]

Might be worth a try! Least then ya'd know fer sure whose it is.

[ Who knows, maybe someone else really is looking for a broken mirror? ]

[coinflipped]

Perhaps. I'll ask the Teishu and see if he knows.

[Something to keep him occupied for when this conversation is over.]

[buddyoldpal]

Might help in the long run, if we figure that shit out. I know they said the shit in the pond wasn't fuckin' important, but if Pond-kun can fuckin' kill people then it ain't like ignorin' it's gonna make shit any better.

[ That's right, Eizen! Keep busy, ok?? Maybe come join their sleepover group if you wanna. ]

[coinflipped]

No, we can't ignore it. Not anymore.

[Almost like they were trying to say it's not important so they attempt to ignore it instead of investigating it.

And yes, he needs to join a sleepover. Someone needs to keep an eye on his dumb ass.]

[buddyoldpal]

Right. Gotta figure this shit out one way or another, yeah?

[ You are officially invited to join the nail polish sleepover party, just play nice with Tiki and Ros and you're all set!! ]

Honestly... [ Speaking of meetings... ] I'd tell y'all more about what I've heard from Teishu-kun but I don't really wanna betray 'is trust, ya know? He ain't so bad.

[coinflipped]

[He plays pretty well women and children!]

Probably best not to betray him. We're in a sensitive situation where betrayal would be costly.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, seriously. That's my thinkin' too. Like... don't get me wrong, I like some of y'all, but Teishu-kun probably needs a couplea friends more than we do. His rules fuckin' suck and he got in trouble fer the shit he pulled with Sen-chan, so...

[ Uh, Nishitani, what was that thing about not talking about the Teishu? ]

[coinflipped]

Did he, now...

[He should be calling Nishitani out on this, but nah. He loves gossip.]

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, looks like! Don't think Sage-chan approved of 'im makin' her death quick and painless.

[ He ponders this, tilting his head side to side. ]

Makes ya wonder what happens ta people when they get fuckin' eaten by those things, huh? Or just how much Sage-chan liked havin' dinner with Sen-chan... Ain't like he'd tell me, he's a real tough guy ta pin down.

[coinflipped]

So the Sage want people to suffer when they're executed?

[Given that was his sister he saw executed, well, he doesn't approve of that at all.]

Every time I've spoken to the Sage he seems... amused.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, he's a wily bastard. I can't make heads or tails of 'im.

[ He punishes the Teishu for doing what he did with Senhime... he's a hypocrite alright. ]

I'm pretty sure this shit's all a game to 'im. Teishu-kun ain't human, but he might be. Ain't like it's weird fer humans ta enjoy seein' other people suffer.

[coinflipped]

I'm rather sure it is a game to the Sage. As I said, he's easily amused-- or has been when I've spoken with him.

[buddyoldpal]

What'd ya ask 'im? I straight up told him he was a cheater an' he fuckin' laughed at me, so.

[ Yeah. ]

He's a fuckin' cheater and we shouldn't expect 'im ta stick to those rules of his.

[coinflipped]

[He's not sure if he should admit this, but it's not like it matters anymore.]

I was willing to form an alliance with him to protect my sister and he seemed like he may have been on board with it. Well, it doesn't matter anymore. So part of me thinks he's waiting for us to backstab one another.

[buddyoldpal]

Shit, I'd do the same fer Majima, I hear ya.

[ It's cool, man. He gets it. ]

And what'd he say ta that?
