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.

No fuckin' kiddin'. If he needs bodies fer his damn tree, the least he could fuckin' do is admit it insteada tryin' ta play us all like idiots.

[blacksong]

[As much as she'd just prefer the Sage to admit to being a sadist, she's not sure what to think about the tree honestly. Her own experiences have made her pretty wary of any magical plants.]

What do you think is gonna happen when the tree gets enough bodies?

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nothing good, that's for sure. Nishitani hadn't ever seen magic before he got here and even he knows it's bad news. ]

Who the fuck knows. The corruption shit might as well be fuckin' made up, if Pond-kun thinks the tree's the real problem. Nothin' good ever happens when a sakura tree blooms in the stories. Means death is comin'.

[blacksong]

I'd never seen or heard anything about sakura trees, but I've seen plenty about evil flowers blooming.

[In some ways, she's pretty glad this place took away everyone's powers. Not having to really deal with the flower in her eye like usual has been pretty nice.]

If the corruption's real though, it'd end up killing everyone anyways, right? Death's probably coming either way.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, ain't no secret back home. There's plentya stories where the sakura petals get their color from the bodies they bury under the tree.

[ isn't japanese folklore just great. ]

Pretty fuckin' much. I can believe that there's shit out there that could kill us, what I don't believe is that nine of us fuckers are just magically gonna "purify" it when dudes like Sage-chan and Teishu-kun got all this power and supposedly can't do shit.

[blacksong]

Not to mention they wanna purify this evil with a bunch of people who got away with murder. How is that supposed to work?

[Will any of this ever make sense?? She's not betting on it...]

They can kidnap a bunch of people from who knows how many different worlds, and they can't even figure out how to deal with a problem in their own. Fucking pathetic. [She doesn't know if the corruption was something they caused or not, but the fact that they have to rely on outside help instead of taking care of their own mess pisses her off.]

[buddyoldpal]

If ya ask me, the tree's got better chances of purifyin' shit than a buncha killers.

[ The corruption is a lie, txt it ]

It's probably bullshit they came up with ta get people ta play nice. Probably figure a buncha fuckin' self-entitled do-gooders'll kill no problem if they think it's for "the greater good."

[blacksong]

With how long it takes get through those trials, anything would have a better shot at fixing things than us.

[What a vote of confidence in everyone's intelligence here... Not like she even does much to help during the trials smh.]

They should've been more careful with who they snatched up then. I don't have a problem with killing, but being told I'm supposed to kill for what they want? I don't fucking think so.

[buddyoldpal]

No fuckin' kiddin'. Seems like it's always gonna end with the killer confessin' just cause they feel so fuckin' sorry fer the rest of us.

Fuck, after seven hours, I wanna confess just ta get it over with.

[ Maybe next time, Nishitani. ]

Yeah, I don't think they planned for fuckers like you or me. This whole incentive bullshit just goes ta fuckin' show that they don't think people'll kill without gettin' treated like fuckin' babies who need their hand held.
