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.

But we're in a castle containing at least one God, and I for one don't feel it necessary to risk showing a lack of respect.
[the 'God' in Ayumu's world was a bit twisted, to put it gently.]
no subject
[He turns his attention toward the offerings.]
So these are from you, then? Are these the kinds of things you normally offer to the gods where you're from?
no subject
[Not that Ayumu gave any offerings to gods. His family didn't exactly practice.]
no subject
Guess that makes sense. I know we use food as offerings a lot, too.
Hope this castle's god is happy with your offerings, then. I've mostly just been using this place as a kind of replacement church for my own.
...And I hope that doesn't make these gods upset. [He hadn't really thought of it, but now that he is, he's worried about it? Oh no.]
no subject
[He smirks a little, as if amused by something.]
I think 'it's the thought that counts' fits here, though.
no subject
[Elliot just kind of makes a vague motion toward the area around him, because, for real - everything about this place, though.]
Well, hey. Maybe I'll leave my own offering in here one of these days to the actual gods. That oughta at least put me a little bit in their favor, right?
no subject
[His smile grows a little.]
I don't really believe in anything like guiding gods or gods who save, but it can't hurt try not to snub them if they do exist.
no subject
And that's fair. Belief is a pretty personal thing, you know? But I like to think my Goddess looks out for us, at any rate. At least, back in my world, if not here. I guess... I'm just kinda hoping that if I keep up my faith, maybe she'll hear us from here.
