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?

... 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?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's what makes it hard to say.

[She holds up her CureMo.]

It was between me and this, and I'm not sure whether this is a "who" or not.

[guileturncoat]

...

[HMM....]

Are there cute mascots involved somewhere in all of this?

[oceanicbutterfly]

...are there ever not cute mascots involved?

[guileturncoat]

See, that's my point! The cute mascots are in on it all!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen stares at him for a moment, then starts giggling.]

[guileturncoat]

What.

[He sounds so sullen too, like he can't believe Karen doesn't believe his totally true theory.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

You can only say that because you haven't met them.

[guileturncoat]

I could still meet them and that wouldn't erase the fact that magical girl stuff is a scheme to give girls PTSD.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That really seems implausible in this case...

[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.

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, in my case the aliens just sort of stood by while I got recruited by other humans.

[houndumb]

So that's why it didn't happen! The monster clothes thing?

[What is this conversation anymore.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

There are people from my world, or at least worlds like mine, who did make deals with their fairies, and they were fine. The difference is that the "monster clothes thing" only happens in that one anime, because Gen Urobuchi wanted everything to be terrible.

[houndumb]

I don't fucking know what's going on but if I see a fairy I'm punching it an' if your clothes start turning into monsters I'm setting 'em on fire.
