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?

[did somebody say snooping?]

If she's making that reference, I won't stop you.

[dereban]

Top ten anime betrayals!!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is it really a betrayal if you betrayed me first?

[dereban]

. . . and how, exactly, have I done that?

[oceanicbutterfly]

You brought up the forbidden anime.

[dereban]

You never told me it was forbidden?! And more importantly, there are worse magical girl series than Madoka for crying out loud!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Yes, and everyone forgot about them within a year of when they came out. Instead, Madoka had high production values and was heavily promoted and a massive success with otaku and they're still making more of it, so now everyone hears "magical girls" and thinks of Gen Urobuchi's nonsense about contracts and witches.

[Nope, she's not addressing the "you never told me" part. Obviously Inaba should just know these things.]

[dereban]

[ she frowns and

just sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head ]

You're overexaggerating. First of all, not everyone thinks that. Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura are still popular enough that they got reboots. Hell, even Cutie Honey got a reboot. And Nanoha's been getting new movies, too.

1/2

[oceanicbutterfly]

That just means those are "classics" that people make exceptions for. When you're talking about magical girls in general--

2/2

[oceanicbutterfly]

Wait, Cardcaptor Sakura got a reboot?

[dereban]

. . . Well, not specifically a reboot, but a sequel.

[ shrugs ]

Kind of makes you wonder if Syaoran's going to watch it.

[houndumb]

Are you goin' to explain if I do it??

[Are you enabling him, Karen. Is this a thing now.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's a bad anime that made people like me look bad.

[There's more to it, but this is the important part, in her mind. Also I'm falling asleep.]

[houndumb]

... So they change clothes, except into worse ones??

[That's what magical girl shows are about, right. As if he watches those.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

They change clothes, but it's because they fell for an alien scam and now they're going to turn into monsters.

[The costumes are actually pretty cute? Why did this happen.]

[guileturncoat]

[From the side of the pool, as he works to climb out:]

All magical girls are scammed into it by beings more powerful than them! Some 'powerful beings' are just more benevolent than others!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[running his way, debating pushing him back in when she gets there]

I didn't get scammed by anyone, and there wasn't--well, all right, Nozomi is more powerful than me, but I don't think that's what you meant!

[guileturncoat]

Were you born with your powers, or were they given to you?

[oceanicbutterfly]

They were...

[She stops and thinks. Hurry, get out of the pool! Take this opportunity!]

Actually, it's hard to really say either of those. "Given" is certainly closer...

[guileturncoat]

[Yep he is out of the pool now, and is sitting in the grass.]

And who gave you those powers?

[houndumb]

Wait, the alien scam is turnin' people into monsters with clothes?? What???

[HE HAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS INCLUDING KAREN WHY DIDN'T YOU PUSH DOEZAI BACK IN]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[SHE GOT DISTRACTED BY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS E.G. CLEAR CARD BEING A THING]

The clothes are a distraction to keep them from realizing they'll turn into monsters.

[houndumb]

[HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT CLEAR CARD IS SO THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE]

... How do you know YOU won't turn into one, though.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[She hesitates for a moment.]

Because it already would have happened.

[houndumb]

So you’re admitting that you make weird deals with aliens.
