week 0, friday

[ they're outside on this lovely murder day.

ryo is on his phone, rereading the beek. ]

It's only been a week...

[forefall]

[ you never have to be scared of her.

four is pacing, a little freaked out but trying to keep it cool. ]

Is this how it becomes more like Hell?

[preordain]

Maybe. Nothing so far has seemed like it.

[ more inconvenient than hellish, really. ]

But why...?

[forefall]

Why is the best question.

[ followed by how can you die if you're already dead? ]

It doesn't seem as if any Personal Demons are around to answer that question either.

[preordain]

I couldn't send any messages last night, either...

Do you think they might be involved somehow?

[forefall]

Anything is possible. There is as much reason to suspect them as anything else when we don't know why this happened.

[preordain]

That's true. Right now we don't have a reason to attack each other, unless someone is just violent and had an urge.

[forefall]

There are some that have already been in some kind of physical altercation, so I won't say there aren't those with that proclivity, but we were all just urged to play games.

[ so unless party games incited violence, she's a bit at a loss. ]

[preordain]

It's a pretty big jump from truth or dare to death, yes.

[ someone was very mad about party games ]

If someone had just turned up dead, that would be one thing. But everything else about last night was weird as well.

week 1, thursday

[ ryo, you almost walked into lava? ryo, you lost an eye, akira said??

whenever he is around and findable, four is finding him!!! ]

Ryo?

[preordain]

[ that's fine

honestly he is just sitting on the stairs. hi. it is possible he was walking up them and then gave up. ]

Yes?

[forefall]

[ important: which eye? i assume it would be noticeable.

that's concerning. ]

... Do you need any assistance? How are you doing?

[preordain]

[ left. it's at least been bandaged now. ]

I'm just taking a break. They really need to fix the elevator.

[forefall]

[ you truly are safe from me this game. ]

They do, but that'd be too beneficial for us. Not slightly irritating enough. [ ... ] Will you brush me off if I continue to ask after you?

[preordain]

At this point, no.

[ so many people came to bother him that he has given up. ]

Do you have questions about what happened?

[forefall]

... You should ask for help while you're still healing.

[ or be stuck on the stairs forever. ]

Did any of it feel like it targeted you, or did it seem to be something that could make anyone suffer?

[preordain]

It was definitely targeted. In fact, I don't think it would have worked as well if we didn't have prior relationships with each other before coming here.

week 1, saturday

[preordain]

[ lmao. lol. hi four. ]

Any new answers?

[forefall]

[ lmao. lol. hi satan. ]

What do you mean?

[ be more specific. ]

[preordain]

Was it to get rid of competition like Bucky, or just because of Eto in particular?

[forefall]

You can think whatever you like.

[preordain]

I will. I was just hoping you weren't stupid.

[forefall]

I can fucking count, Ryo.

[ maybe that can help him figure out what happened with the arm. ]

[preordain]

[ he blinks. ]

... you really did almost get away with it.

[forefall]

If it weren't for all the goddamned demons looking back at the body, I would still be around after tomorrow.

[ me, crying and thanking the mods in my murder dm: ]
