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.

Indeed. If nothing else, it's good to take an inventory. It'll make solving the next case easier, or so one can hope.

[A beat. She adds:]

Pick something light.

[pseudoregelia]

R-right...

[She'll just... start moseying along, seeing what all they've got. She does linger a bit around the knives at first, but she'll check out the other offerings too just to be sure.]

Have you taken something as well?

[originallutece]

A knife. Although I'm not certain I'll limit myself to that, given we're only fourteen right now.

[pseudoregelia]

[...]

Meaning...?

[originallutece]

Meaning I think, being so much closer to nearly nine of us, things are going to start getting even more deadly. People can see the finishing line, so to speak.

[pseudoregelia]

Ah... A quick end instead of drawing it out any longer?

[There isn't really a rule regarding how many could be killed, after all...]

[originallutece]

Or a way to increase the odds that one will make it to the survival pool.

Desperation is an ugly thing. And I think we'll feel its pressures the closer we get to nine remaining.

[pseudoregelia]

Haaah... We've lost so many people now, the chances of it ending prematurely are incrementally small, I'm sure.

[Why do people gotta murder.]

Are you thinking of trying for it, yourself?

[originallutece]

No.

[. . .]

Though I'd be a fool to say yes, as would you.

[pseudoregelia]

I don't think that would stop some people here from announcing that they'd definitely try.

[Considering the group they still have left...]

And anyway, I've already told you why I can't.
