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

Dang, listen ta ya, Misora-san! All this shit ya've figured out. Ya really are a good cop.

[ hm thats decidedly not an answer but!! ]
gyakusatsu: (五十八)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[That is indeed not an answer and she raises an eyebrow. She's not angry, but there's a bit of a "it's gonna take a bit more than a compliment to distract me here" kinda look about her.]

Majima-san, an answer please.
maddogs: (it's too hard to sleep)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I guess my opinion isn't that important on it, ya know? I wasn't a very good judge of Sen's character.
gyakusatsu: (十)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-08 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[And neither was she, which is why she's asking. But she concedes that point to Majima - ultimately two weeks is simply not long enough to get a firm grasp on the inner workings of another person's mind.]

Fair enough. So what do you make of all this, Majime-san?
maddogs: (oh just the thought of you)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-08 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Wish people would stop fuckin' killin' each other. This week's motive is especially stupid.

[ he sighs ]

I mentioned this yesterday - but one of the groups, they killed each other. Everyone was dead.
gyakusatsu: (三十七)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-08 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That motive seemed oddly specific, didn't it? It's almost as though the Sage is trying to goad one of us in particular to act rather than providing a more generically "appealing" incentive.

[But she's sighing, too.]

I floated this idea to Madam Lutece on Sunday, but the longer I think about it, the less implausible it seems that from the start they were primarily interested in collecting twenty one souls.
maddogs: (i tip the driver 'head of time)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-08 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Collecting twenty one souls rather than nine warriors?

[ he does seem to be considering this seriously. ]

It'd almost make more sense, I guess. 'cause it's always seemed ta me the nine that'd be left wouldn't've proved anythin' but not gettin' killed.
gyakusatsu: (十八)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-08 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. It'd also explain why they killed over relatively minor offenses as well.

[A beat.]

Not that I can prove this, but either way... if all we're doing by killing each other is bringing the Sage closer to god-status, then this has to stop.
maddogs: (i want to want me)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-08 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
This needed ta stop regardless of his motive.
gyakusatsu: (六十二)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-08 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[... that actually gets her to laugh a little tiredly.]

It did, you're right. Forgive me for saying so, but I never expected to hear a sentiment like "murder is wrong on principle" from you.
maddogs: (theres nothing i wouldnt do)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-08 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine, that's a fair assumption of Yakuza.

[ he shrugs ]

But even within the Yakuza, we don't jus' fuckin' murder civilians for no reason.

[ some exceptions apply... ]
gyakusatsu: (三十七)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-09 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She is skeptical of that last part, yeah. But speaking generally.. yeah, she'd buy that. People usually don't kill unprovoked, unless they're sickos in human skin.]

It's not that people are killing without reason here... they're just not very good ones.

[She sighs.]

If anyone does end up killing over this week's motive though.... they'd better pray to their maker that they aren't caught. This motive was the stupidest reason by far and I don't think anyone has much patience left.
maddogs: (wearing nothing but a smile)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-09 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ majima laughs ]

Fuck, ain't that the truth? 'specially if the trials are gonna keep bein' so goddamn frustratin'. At least let it be over a good reason.
gyakusatsu: (六十五)

[personal profile] gyakusatsu 2017-09-09 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins a little at that.]

You weren't even there for the last one. I'm sure you must've built up some reserve patience for those dreary things by now.
maddogs: (its a hundred degrees)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-09-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! That's a good joke. Shit's more impossible than even a clan meetin', and I have sat through some crazy fuckin' meetin's.
