Trustfell 4: Trust Fall or Die Hard ([personal profile] trustwellness) wrote in [community profile] trusthell2017-02-05 11:51 am

WEEK 3.

WEEK 3

As the second week draws to a close, two more have joined the deceased. Christo and Alani are dead, leaving twenty-six of you remaining.

It may not seem like very many have died, but their absence will certainly be felt.

Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Just like last week, a door in the stairwell has opened, leading you down further into the building; there are more rooms open to you down there - possibly even one that you'll find personally interesting.

Go ahead and explore all you like; after all, you did well at completing your lessons this past week.

APPRENTICES REMAINING: 26

[OOC: Welcome to week three of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Wordsmith, you can do so through letters or the switchboard!]

[ Oh, she's more than happy to pet his head! He's so soft. ]

Hi, Weavile-kun! You're friendly, aren't you?

[ Cute indeed! ]

That's...that's a good idea. Sometimes people need an ear, and only one ear, right? Ahaha...

[ She's still pretty...ashamed to talk about hers, though. ] Are you sure you're alright with sharing yours, Silver-kun?

...Yeah. I mean, it's not really something I want everyone to know about, but it's nothing I'd kill over.

[How does he put this?]

This old guy kidnapped me and big sis when I was really young. He put us through hell, but we eventually managed to escape, and I dedicated myself to revenge for years trying to take him out.

He hasn't been a problem for years now.

[ Oh no... She'd hoped that she'd be able to sympathize with him somehow, but not like this. ]

I'm--I'm so sorry, Silver-kun... That's...that's really terrible.

[ She's frowning now, concerned and really worried because she's been in his shoes before; been kidnapped and put through hell. ]

I don't blame you.

...I don't feel bad about it. It's in the past now. And if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met Gold or Crys.

[If he erased Pryce, his life would have been so different. It's not perfect now, but he wouldn't trade his friends away for the world.]

Ah... I see...

[ She can't help but smile a little again at his response. He could have chosen to deal with it differently, to carry it with him for the rest of his life. ]

That's why your title is "Persevering", isn't it? It already sounds like you've been through a lot, just from what you've told me; and here you are...
feistytrader: (okay then)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2017-02-09 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess so. I can persevere through this too. [...] We all can, and that's exactly why I offered my room and secrets today.

[Which brings them to Orihime.]

You seemed pretty worried about yours. Is it that bad?
introspects: (☹)

[personal profile] introspects 2017-02-09 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I understand. You're--you're very strong, Silver-kun. Someone as young as you shouldn't be here.

[ She's only a year older than him, but that's still one more year she gets to live her life over him. One more year, especially under their current circumstances, can mean a lot. ]

It's... [ Orihime takes a look at her note, folded in fourths inside of her palm. She'd brought it here with her, holding it to her chest up until now. She looks at it pensively, her thumb idly playing with one of its corners. ]

This isn't as...severe as yours, but...here.

[ She hands her letter to Silver. Its contents read: "Before being taken away by her kidnapper, Orihime was given the chance to say goodbye to one person, as long as they were unaware of her presence. She picked the boy she fell in love with and nearly kissed him in his sleep, but couldn't bring herself to do it." ]

[He holds it for a moment before actually reading it, because he just can't let that last part go.]

None of us should be here. Don't make such a big deal out of just one year.

[It's not harsh; it's not very often that his tone changes in general, but he doesn't look visibly annoyed either and quickly focuses on the letter instead.]

...It's better to do that kind of thing when someone's awake, isn't it?

[Either way, Silver glances at Weavile, and Weavile's quick to give Orihime a hug. Less personal than a hug from Silver, and a lot more cozy.]

[ That is probably the most embarrassing part of it all, and it's not--it's not anything worth killing over, for sure, but it's just a private part of her life she's not going to openly share. ]

I-I know, that's why...that's why I didn't do it. I...I felt like a coward...

[ She's never really talked about this with anyone before. It's a strange feeling. She does appreciate the hug, though, and pats Weavile's back affectionately. ]

I...I guess I was afraid I'd never see him again.
feistytrader: (okay then)

...Being kidnapped is terrifying. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[She did the best she could in a horrible situation.]

Do you know what happened after that?

[Or is this something she's remembering?]

[personal profile] introspects 2017-02-10 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha...I guess...this isn't our first time being kidnapped, huh?

[ What a sad thing to bond over, honestly. But...she does feel a least a little better about it, at least. ]

Yes. I was taken and held hostage...my friends came to save me, but I--I put them through so much trouble because of it...
feistytrader: (I'm okay with this)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2017-02-10 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but think of it on the other side. You've got a bunch of friends that care about your safety so much that they came to save you. Helping out your friends is never trouble.

[His smile is gentle and reassuring. Weavile has a similar look on his face.]

[personal profile] introspects 2017-02-10 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's--that's what Watanuki-kun told me, too. I'm...I'm glad they came for me, but since then, I've been working harder. I want to be able to fight alongside everyone, not...

[ Not be the damsel in distress all the time. She does offer Weavile another pat on the head, though. ]
feistytrader: (listening in)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2017-02-10 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's great getting stronger. There's nothing wrong with your friends helping you out, but there's nothing more satisfying than taking a bite out of the bad guy yourself.

[Weavile nods and looks pretty excited at the thought. Man, when they get their hands on the Wordsmith...]

[ Suddenly, Orihime turns more stern, nodding at Silver's suggestion. ]

That's why we need to bring Wordsmith-san down as fast as we can. Nobody deserves to be going through this...not even Ushiromiya-san or Alani-san.
