week 6

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.


SURVIVING WARRIORS: 14

(OOC: Welcome to Week 6 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.)

INVESTIGATION

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-04 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Bedroom Hallway.

[He's bypassed this hallway dozens of times by now, but before this he never much paid attention to the corner between the two hallways. Is that a small gap there...?]

Armory.

[Like many others, the glint of the weapons catches his eye enough for him to wander inside the room and browse the selection. However, he makes no move to pick up anything; what would be the point in grabbing another weapon, after all? In any case, if someone else comes in, he'll speak up.]

Guess the Sage decided to finally stop playing around. You'd think this would've been one of the first rooms to open up if he wanted to make it easy to kill, though.

[It seems a little weird doing it this late when their numbers have already been slashed to less than half.]

Alchemy Lab.

[He has walked past this room several times today already but. Perhaps it's the slant of the light through the windows, perhaps it's something else, but something makes him pause and linger this time. Mahiro ends up hanging by the doorway for who knows how long before he finally steps in, grabs one of the flimsy notebooks off the shelf and just idly flips through it. But it honestly doesn't look like he's absorbing any of what he's reading, if the speed at which he's going through it says anything.

Feel free to find him doing that or when he's obstructing the doorway??]

I guess he wanted people to get creative. Everything can be lethal if you know how to use it.
irrationalities: (♚ it's simple logic.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
As part of the 'test'? [Not necessarily a bad point, but.]

It makes him look like he's getting impatient, then.

[personal profile] fedorascout 2017-09-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
There are only fourteen of us left. Five or six more need to die, with everything being so close to the end maybe he wants us to grab a sword and go on a killing spree as soon as possible. Not all of us can have submachine guns to do that, after all.

[Nonchalant as always. He also doesn't seem particularly bothered by Mahiro's executioner role last time, but he's just that good hiding how nervous he feels about that]
irrationalities: (♚ is that right?)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Mahiro wasn't exactly of the mind to pay attention to everyone else's reactions at the time, so he wasn't exactly sure how Kizakura took things. So having it brought up so casually like that just kind of amuses him, actually.]

Maybe. It'd be a pretty big problem for them if too many died, though. Who says that the person rampaging would bother to make sure nine people are left standing?

[personal profile] fedorascout 2017-09-05 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right...I bet Teishu-san would stop them anyway. A sword may not be enough to defeat him. I have heard he has divine powers of some sort, there must be something about them that'll protect him from lethal harm.
irrationalities: (♚ most boring thing i've heard.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
He told me outright he was a god, so that wouldn't be surprising.

[And while Mahiro isn't religious at all, he couldn't deny that there were things that existed with abilities beyond what regular people could do. That much was obvious during Sen's execution...]

The Sage pushed me away with a barrier when I got too close, too. I don't know if their abilities are actually that similar though.

[personal profile] fedorascout 2017-09-05 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They most likely aren't. Sage-san seems completely disinterested about fighting, and I'd say it's because he0s not a fighter. The extent of his powers may be related to this castle, defending himself and nothing else.

In other words, he's relying on Teishu-san to stay safe, even though Teishu-san doesn't like that.
irrationalities: (♚ just sit tight and i'll explain.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
He still managed to do a number on Yukimi though. And even if you don't have other weapons on hand, you can still do a lot with a defensive barrier.

[Sounds like he's talking from experience...]

I don't know which one of them is stronger, but I doubt he'd have trouble holding most of us back unless there're some limitations to his powers that we don't know about.
maddogs: (nothing on me)

Whatcha up to, Mahiro-kun?

[ because it looks like hes not reading those notebooks. ]
irrationalities: (♚ it's simple logic.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks up rather sharply when he hears Majima call out. He doesn't look too surprised if his expression's anything to go by, but for a second his posture's a bit stiff and it pretty clear that Mahiro's been caught off guard. Still, he relaxes soon enough and he stops aimlessly going through the notes.]

...Just thinking about fireworks.

[The notebook he has definitely has nothing to do with fireworks though, uh.]
maddogs: (theres nothing i wouldnt do)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ he peers at the definitely not a firework notebook ]

Ah, is that what that's about?
irrationalities: (♚ there's still unfinished business.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, if Majima's close enough it looks the page he's on has a recipe for something called polydimethylsiloxane alongside a list of properties (viscous, elastic, easily molded). 'Explosive' is definitely not on that list though.]

I was just seeing what was in it. Some of this stuff might be too complicated to make here anyways.

[But he's no chemistry expert, and he doubts Majima is either so he'll leave it at that.]

You need something?
maddogs: (nothing on me)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-05 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah no this is way behind him. ]

No, I was jus' checkin' on ya, I guess. Heard a lot about the trial this weekend.
irrationalities: (♚ it's simple logic.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
[There's something a little contemplative in his gaze when he hears that. It kind of weirds him out tbh??? They didn't interact much, although he knows that Jin was pretty much their mutual acquaintance. Still, there was worse company to have.]

Huh. Lutece tell you about it or something? [A slight pause.] It was a shitshow anyways. Be glad you missed it.
maddogs: (theres nothing i wouldnt do)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-06 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck, aren't they always?
irrationalities: (♚ what are you on?)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-07 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but at least you didn't have to sit around and watch as Mako played the good detective throughout the whole thing.

[sodium levels rising...]

irrationalities: (♚ that doesn't seem right.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-05 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm, well first he'll try putting his hand out in front of it, I guess? Can he feel any directional airflow there?]
Edited 2017-09-05 04:49 (UTC)
irrationalities: (♚ hmm.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-06 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm, okay. What happens if he slips a piece of paper between the gap, then?]
irrationalities: (♚ that's not right.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-08 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe a few minutes? If nothing happens after that, maybe slipping in more paper will help?! maybe if he gets bored enough he'll fill the gap with paper--]
irrationalities: (♚ what'd you mean by that.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-09-08 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[...Huh, those things actually live somewhere? Interesting point.

Well uh, then he'll just pick the old piece of paper off that minion then. Does it say anything interesting?]
