Week 1, Saturday

This whole post contains a blanket CONTENT WARNING for gallows and hanging imagery.

---

[Once again, right at noon, the Contestants are invited to the studio to participate in another exciting game. The set has changed entirely since the last time they were there, with the mountain climber game replaced by a large board of some sort. Several prinnies are near it, carrying large cards with random letters written on them. It seems as though they might be helping out for this game. But there is something else off to the side too...(CW: gallows)

As always, Dazai is there, waiting on stage for everyone to sit down. He's dressed in his usual black suit getup, but his smile seems a bit forced today.]

Comments

WIN

[guileturncoat]

...so you solved it after all, hmm?

[Despite all that's happened, Dazai still sounds somewhat pleased when he says that.]

Very well. By the rules of the game, you all have won. George is free to go, and nobody will be eliminated today.

[The prinnies will help George down, and he can return to the others.]

Good job, everyone. Spend the rest of the weekend resting up and getting ready for next week. It's only going to get harder from here.

[And with that, the lights go down on the stage, and the game of Hangman is over.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver heaves a sigh of relief. Then he looks around for the nearest thing that might be a camera and waves to it]

Can I have my powers back on now, please?

[guileturncoat]

Next time don't talk about using powers to cheat at a game.

[But oh look, Silver's powers do come back!]

[iblistriggered]

[grumblegrumble] There weren't any rules against it... [grumble]

[guileturncoat]

There weren't. But if you don't announce your plans to the world, then you might be able to carry them out.

[iblistriggered]

....

[a helpful hint? Silver looks confused for a moment, but then blinks a few times and nods]

I get it...

[georgeous]

[ He's getting down with a huge sigh of relief, petting a prinny on the head because he can. ]

[houndumb]

HA!! TOLD YA WE'D CRUSH IT!!

[He's just yelling this to the entire room but probably Dazai and George in particular.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki just

places her face in her hands and slides down in her chair in relief.]

[scarsnstripes]

Thank goodness...

[He seems relieved, but as soon as the lights go down he's running a hand over his face.

Some might be able to register he's anxious.]

[failsaw]

Yeah, they're not going to go easy on us anymore. Bandaid isn't either, is he, kid? He the kind of guy who'll watch us all die to save his own skin?

[scarsnstripes]

[Normally, Atsushi might have humored questions like this, but he just grimaces at it coming from Giriko.]

I thought you already decided what you thought of him?

[He's pushing back his chair. He doesn't want to talk to her.]

[failsaw]

[Giriko isn't going to let him leave that easily.]

He's a shithead, obviously. But the question is what kind of shithead? The self-sacrificing type or the type who'll try to make everyone else feel sorry for them even while he's killing us?

[scarsnstripes]

Would you even believe me if I told you?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

...Good.

[Lifting his head from his hands, Moriarty smiles - if still looking rather tired.

Though...he also looks...a little worried? Like something occurred to him that he doesn't quite like.]

...Yet, I fear we may have just made things harder for ourselves in the future...

Re: WIN

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Sigh of relief.]

[mastersdefender]

...Thank goodness.

[hematocritic]

[ Ozaki gives an aggravated sigh before rubbing tension out of the back of his neck]

Forget the games and this house, we seem more dangerous to each other than it is to us.

[Not that this is especially surprising, really.

He’s going to be busy tonight. ]

[visionem]

Is it surprising to you, Ozaki Toshio?

[hematocritic]

Maybe that the people [dog?] started turning on each other after less than a week, but not that fights broke out.

[still very irritating to him]

[visionem]

Opposing viewpoints often occur when many individuals are in close quarters. How did you think the fights would occur if not between one another?

[hematocritic]

There’s enough people stuck here right now, that I’d think if two people couldn’t be near each other they could go talk to someone else. That might change later [‘if people do end up dying,’ goes unsaid but implied.] but I figured it would be at least another week before injuries happened from infighting.

[mastersdefender]

...We do have a lot of different personalities. But, we at least seemed to pull through.

[hematocritic]

The games are most likely going to just get harder, so a good start is better than the alternative.

[mastersdefender]

...That's true.

Though long as we work together, I'm sure we'll make it.
