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.

[divertimento]

...Okay.

[Listen. If she didn't run a gossip column in the weekly breakfast announcement, he might not be so concerned! But he pushes the pillow in her general direction, looking for all the world like he's just done with with this whole existing thing for a while.]

[pseudoregelia]

[Wowie, this sure is something. And because Elliot hasn't suffered enough yet:]

So... is the picture accurate?

[divertimento]

[He just groans and buries his face into his hands. Hiyono. Why.]

...yes.

[pseudoregelia]

Oho, so you've seen him like this before ♥

[Hiyono.]

It makes me wonder, though... Where did they get a detailed image of him for this...?

[divertimento]

I- I mean-!! We had swimming classes at the academy, of course I did! So did everyone else!

[Flail mode, activate.]

A-as for that second part...! I dunno. This is even creepier than them having all this info on us, to be honest...

[pseudoregelia]

[She shifts the pillow. It is now facing Elliot, while she sits behind it.]

That's what I think, too... Somehow, they didn't only know what your friend looks like, but they even produced something of this quality...

[...She's also wiggling it as she talks. Because this is what you do when you're having serious conversations, you use body pillows as puppets.]

[divertimento]

No kidding...

...are you using that thing as a puppet? [Uuuugh HIYONO WHY. He moves to grab it back.] Give that back!

[pseudoregelia]

[She laughs and tosses it back to him. Let her have her fun where she can!]

--Well, anyway, let's just keep on our toes. They have a disturbing amount of information on all of us, so we can't let that blindside us later.

[divertimento]

[He grumbles a little as he stuffs it under the bed again. He is a mature individual, clearly.]

Yeah, that's true enough. Ugh, just when I think this place can't possibly get any weirder or creepier...

[pseudoregelia]

It's just another reminder not to underestimate the enemy.

We'll need to hold onto our morals as tightly as we can as long as we're here...

[divertimento]

Mm.

I'm not letting go of mine, no matter what they have to offer or what's at stake. Don't worry about me.

[He... may still be underestimating what the "enemy" is willing to put forth, on that latter note. But as it is, nothing they've offered or threatened have been enough, so it's true enough as it stands.]

[pseudoregelia]

Of course I'm going to worry.

[Just. Point blank.]

It's easy to say that, but the motives will probably get worse and worse each time. So if you ever need someone to talk to, make sure you come to me or one of the others you trust, okay?

[divertimento]

...heh. [He can't help but crack a smile. She doesn't pull any punches, does she?]

I will. That's a promise, okay?

[pseudoregelia]

It's a promise!

[Death flag raised.]
