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.)

There's something else I've been wondering about...

Ever since we got here, they've been going on about this challenge and how it's supposed to prove the worthy warriors, haven't they? But there's no guarantee that we'll be left with only nine people. And even then, it could be difficult for them to coerce the people left behind. Those who survive aren't even necessarily going to be those who have killed - in fact, based on what we've seen so far, they may just be those who are fortunate enough not to be murdered first.

But... are we sure that we need nine people remaining, or twenty-one dead?

That is a good question, after all nothing stops anyone from killing multiple people, and given the people we lost due to accident or punishment - and much as I hate to say - some might consider suicide to fulfill the requirement for motives without killing anyone.

The odds of ending up with exactly nine people is small.

It's starting to sound to me that the end goal is to make the sakura tree bloom. If it blooms once there are twenty-one people left...

[Then the Sage can't fail unless no more deaths happen]

And if twenty-one people die, and the tree blooms - the deceased is beyond all reach.

To die is cruel enough, but to be used as fuel...
