trusthell | WEEK 4.

WEEK 4
Three more have died this past week. Milla Maxwell was killed for breaking a rule, Chiyuki was murdered, and you all had a hand in executing Yoshikage Kira.

It seems like this isn't going to stop any time soon. How many more will join them this week?

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...

Despite the Wordsmith's reaction to the last trial, it seems as though you've been rewarded once again for a job that was...well, it was done, even if he didn't explicitly say it was well-done. Another door has opened in that stairway, it seems, leading you further down into the building; once again, there are more rooms down there, more things to occupy yourselves with.

Or perhaps just more means to get creative with regards to how you take initiative with your fellow Apprentices.

Yes, I think... I think this one is its own being.

Have you tried to talk to it?

Not yet. ...Many seem to be, and I think...it'd be a bad idea to overwhelm it.

Be careful when you do. [ He assumes Hanyuu will just based on how she is.]

There's been too many rules broken this week.

[She nods to him.]

I've every intention of being careful as I can...and keeping the rules in mind. You too, okay?

I already tried punching the wall once. [ Maybe it's a joke, but it's also the truth.]

[...heh.] I'm glad it didn't get you anywhere. I wouldn't want you to get hurt.

I've dealt with worse.

Is that so? Like what?

Like where I grew up. There weren't any shadow creatures but demons died every day.

A-aah...is that so...? I hadn't realized.

[#justfunthings]

I told you all the Netherworlds were different.

Cryoblood is known as the most savage.

[...]

You...grew up in a battlefield.

Calling it that is a compliment.

[ But he nods.]

...I was of a different assumption, but that...that was foolish of me. I won't ask more, if it brings up uncomfortable memories.

Uncomfortable isn't the right word. [ He's staring past her, clearly thinking of someplace else. On the otherhand, he hasn't rebuked her questions yet.]

Painful. [Let's not mince words.] I foolishly thought...that just because you were in a place with the same species, that it wouldn't be hard to live with a semblance of peace. ...But still, the world of demons...I should have known better. I'm sorry.

[She bows her head, gently.]

Not that either. It reminds me of a lot of things I regret.

[ He shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts.]

There's always war between some factions of demons, but there are places of peace too. I just wasn't born in one of them.

...

[She sighs.]

It seems...war and chaos, they're a constant, no matter the world.

They are. I wouldn't be surprised if the angels on Celestia went to war among themselves either.

...Christo would know better about that.

[ Still bitter about that.]
