Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

Motive

[foundationmods]

[When Dazai walks in on Monday, there is no trace of the fear or regret he felt last Saturday. No, he is as closed off as always, smiling like nothing is wrong. And once he gathers everyone in the living room, he will speak the same as he does every week. ]

Good morning~ Hopefully everyone is rested!

I have some interesting news for all of you! See, I just got this email from a friend in the research department, and apparently they have found what appears to be a way to send people home! Not just to your familiar sites, but back to your worlds. And I have been told to make that your motive for the week: kill somebody and don't get caught at the trial, and you get to go home.

Oh, but if you don't want to go back to your world, that's fine too. Anyone who doesn't want to go home can just be pulled out of the game and sent back to their previous site. Same stipulation to not get caught applies though!

[If you want to ask questions, feel free to do so. He will stay behind today to talk. ]

1/2

[Silver usually casts the motives aside like so much garbage, but this one... He looks, dare I say, hopeful?]

Is... that's.... !

[iblistriggered]

.....


[the hope disappears]

... they're probably just lying again.

[duskhound]

[Once Ellie hears that motive, she just. Closes her eyes. Why does it have to be this one? Even if it's true, that's... That's quite a nasty trap there.]

[odasaku]

[ oda’s eyes widen visibly when he hears the motive, but then he quickly settles back down to something neutral.

he turns around, and leaves without another word. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Hi Oda,

She's going to attempt to follow, because of course she is.]

[visionem]

Oh, additional requirements for fulfillment? Interesting.

[ Alcor's wearing a smile which is not as common as it usually is these past few days. What kind of smile it is, is enigmatic however. ]

[houndumb]

That one's probably your fault.

[There's a snort, it's not even an accusation, just a sardonic statement quite possibly directed at the screen.]

[dereban]

. . .

[ wait.

he's actually staying behind? she'll raise her hand, her expression completely impassive ]

They're saying something like that, but would it be possible for them to show actual proof that they can do it in the first place?

[guileturncoat]

I can ask for proof, but I can't promise I will get any answers right now.

[houndumb]

[...]

[There's a scoff and his usual glare, a little darker than last week so maybe not so usual.]

Sounds like a motive for COWARDS.

[iblistriggered]

[..........]

[prayerwheel]

....and they've not given any proof that they can do so?

Ridiculous.

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi inhales sharply at that, bicolored eyes going wide.

It was a lie. He knew that. Inaba had told him, but—

He missed home like a constant ache, especially this week. This week, of all weeks. Atsushi wraps his arms around himself, and some might notice the tips of his fingers look too sharp. Claws.]

...That’s too cruel.

[He looks about ready to cry for a moment before he shakes his head, expression growing determined. That was the point, wasn’t it?]

The Foundation really is too cruel.

[iblistriggered]

... this is the only motive I've given a crap about so far... But haha.... it's just more lies, probably.

[overconfidant]

[Akira sees the claws but there's no hesitation when he lays a hand on Atsushi's arm.]

No kidding. This is really shitty to dangle in front of the people that want to go back.

You going to be okay?

[dereban]

[ oh, Inaba definitely sees that, and that's enough to worry her that she places a hand on his shoulder, if he'll allow her to. ]

We'll find another way, Atsushi. I promise.

[ it's not a guarantee, and she knows words aren't enough. there's no way that they possibly could be. but she wants to reassure him or at least try. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen joins in on the Atsushi-touching, wordlessly setting a hand on his other shoulder.]

[houndumb]

[Glancing over briefly, or rather side-eyeing like he is with several other people, but there's like a small catpile there so he'll leave them to it.]

[eldritcheyes]

Yeah. I wish I'd seen it a lot sooner.

[They're teammates, but they barely know each other. Still, he feels bad when anyone is hurting, no matter what. Those claws are alarming, but Leo stays calm. He trusts the person attached to them.]

You gonna be okay?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...]

...no.

There aren't convenient solutions like that available.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She just listens impassively.]

...Both options lead to death anyway, then.

[That's all there is to say about that.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

...Hm.

[That's....all he says, his eyes guarded as he takes it in.]

Kill to leave this game....Ah, Host. I would like to ask something, if you don't mind?

[guileturncoat]

Hm? What's your question?

[shortstacked]

[hearing this particular motive seems to hit him pretty hard because of course wants to go home but the cost really is too much] Yeah, right as if they would even allow us to go home.
