Week 6

Sunday - Thursday

Another week of misfortune has passed by and while the end result is that there won't be any issues to anyone's existence being altered for the worst, it doesn't mean anyone's celebrating. If anything, the stressful machinations of the recent trial would require some of you to have someone champion some sort of recuperation amongst you in an attempt to relieve the strain. Whether or not its entirely successful in doing so is up to each individual. After all, there are some of you who are naturally able to endure more than others.

There's not even much time for that before the dawn of the next week is upon the castle. As it comes, everything seems quiet, which is understandable, considering that five lives were lost in the previous week.

Of course, the next best thing to focus on would be what's been newly revealed within the castle. It'll help most of you get your mind off of the current situation to an extent—distractions have a way of making that possible. Presuming, by chance, you do find yourself taking a peek at the sakura tree, you'll notice that the buds have started to finally open up. Is it time for spring at last? If so, you might find yourself wishing that the season would suddenly find itself on hold.

[originallutece]

And why is that?

[notimmortal]

No, but how much can you do about what others did? Unless you know some way to go back in time and change it all. [He's saying this jokingly, trying to get her to smile or at least seem less sad.]

[originallutece]

I'll keep you on retainer, I think.

[Because far be it for her to commit one way or another.]

[presomnia]

[mmmmnope she just looks sadder. she already knows she's useless but thanks for the reminder Jansen!!]

I just don't want anyone else to get hurt anymore...

[maddogs]

Ugh, it was two days. 's why we didn't help find the damn bodies, either.

[ his life is suffering ]

Teishu's fuckin' powerful, though. Ya saw what he did ta Sen.

[notimmortal]

[And that's so not what he meant! He didn't want her thinking she was to blame for other people's bad decisions.

Man, sometimes he really sucks getting his point across and looks like it's another open foot, insert mouth moment for him.

So um, maybe he can make her smile by trying to give her a hug? Yeah, he'll try that.]

Neither do I. I wish that if I'd tell everyone to just ignore the Sage this week that they'd listen to me. But you know what? The hard part is getting people to listen and actually do it.

[divertimento]

'Cause the ARCUS units let us cast arts, too - at least, they normally do. And I got mine back from the pond. I tried using it out in the courtyard, but it didn't do anything at all.

Don't think it's 'cause of the pond water or whatever. I think this place is just messing with things.

Armory

[pseudoregelia]

...Ahh...

[Caught. Oh well.]

It's good to see what's here!

Shrine

[pseudoregelia]

Doctor...?

[She tilts her head, clearly having intended to step inside yet not quite getting that far.]

Are you alright?

[originallutece]

Then . . . either tell me or write it down, please.

Armory

[pseudoregelia]

[Oh cool, so Hanyuu is another weapons nut. This is good to know.]

Are you... enjoying yourself?

[maddogs]

[ well now theyve turned this into being suspicious as fuck but he writes down anyway: ]

i just dont want what i told you about the teishu to become general knowledge
especially not where the sage might find out that hes telling us

[divertimento]

Ehehe. ♪

[Elliot's pleased as punch as he strolls in, glancing around before going over and plucking up a guitar.]

Here. Try this. It wouldn't be my first choice of instrument to start someone off with, but beggars can't really be choosers in a place like this, I guess.

[divertimento]

Not one like any of these. [He shakes his head.] Thing I had back home... it's called an orbal staff. Mostly, I just threw magic things at people. I mean, I guess I could smack someone with it if I had to, but actually doing any damage like that's easier said than done when you're... y'know...

[He holds up one arm in a mock-flex, to show off all the muscle he doesn't have.]

Me.

[pseudoregelia]

That part's a secret between Kurosaki-san and myself.

[...Partially because it's embarrassing, shhh.]

[originallutece]

[She tips her head, mildly surprised by that.]

Fair enough-- though I think it might not be a bad idea to get people more on the Teishu's side.

Beyond that-- and assuming this conversation won't be posted around--the sink spoke to you?

[maddogs]

Alright, if ya say so.

[maddogs]

it was the stuff brought up in the last big meetin' about the tree and the dead

thats pretty common knowledge

[originallutece]

[She flinches when he fires the bolt--]

For god's sake, don't fire that in here! You don't know if it'll ricochet!

sliiiides on in here

[maddogs]

Have ya tried it on the Trial Room?

[aumygoddess]

[ Hey now she's not nuts about using them, she's just the type to take the entire armory and hang it up in her room. WEAPONS LOOK REALLY COOL, OKAY. IF SHE HAD ANY SAY ABOUT THE DECOR OF RIKA'S HOUSE, THERE WOULD BE SWORDS EVERYWHERE. ]

Oh yes...! It's a splendid collection of steel, is it not?

[buddyoldpal]

Nice. That sounds pretty rad, I got one of those from Pond-kun too, didn't know what the fuck ta do with 'em, really.

Can ya fight like a samurai or what? How long ago was it that ya did yer monster huntin'?

[gyakusatsu]

Mm, I do agree with you that it's unlikely to lead to anything important....

[As Majima comments, Misora looks pensive.]

I haven't tried that one. [Glaring oversight on her part, actually.]

Care to come along and find out?

[originallutece]

[She only half follows this explanation along, and so:]

Will you show me? Even if it doesn't work, I'd quite like to see it.

[buddyoldpal]

I'll be waitin' then, Lutece-han.

[ He'll wait... forever... I mean, realtalk, even in the worst case he still has Majima, so he can wait. ]
