Week 4

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?

I would. And I can get onto the roof.

That's--no.

[ oda shakes his head!! ]

You're too young. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting you in danger.

What are you talking about? She could kick your ass, Mr. Average.

That's right, I'm average. Therefore, sacrificing fodder like me should be much simpler than putting her on the front line.

You're an idiot.

[ Saki why do you like this ]

Its beneficial to have average people in this little group. Someone the audience can connect with better compared to those of us with all kinds of powers.

Well, I wouldn't put it that way...

[but she won't deny it]

I'm already in danger.

[You know, of getting murdered? Not to mention she took three of those cookies that killed a guy?]

And I'll be safer than most people would be.

...

[ oda looks at her, unsure. ]

Are you that sure?

I'll do it transformed. If there's one thing I'm confident I can do as Cure Aqua, it's stay alive.

Saki would probably kill me if anything happened to you, you know.

I don't think she'd be happy with me for letting anything happen to you, either.

[ He sighs, and while it's not an objection he feels the need to make something clear. ]

Aqua fought back as well.

That's right. My skill set is good for hiding, but I can't guarantee your safety at all times. Especially if it comes from someone that has as many powers as Alcor has.

So would whoever might be targeted instead of me. I can just fight back better than most.

...I have said all I need to say.

[ He's gonna peace out from here actually, this is hitting several of his buttons. ]

[~~Is it the name? Should she call herself Cure Integrity or something instead?~~]

[ No. Just sometimes you help kill someone by moving their body and freezing a pool noodle to stab into their chest, all while admiring that person and knowing that she went down with everything she had.

#complicated box feelings. ]

[.............

Yeah, he's not saying anything, but you can feel the disapproval radiating off of him.]

[LET HER DO HER JOB CRIMEPA]

[AND WHAT IF THAT GETS YOU MURDERED, KAREN?

Actually -]

...Though I know it will not sway your opinion....I ask that you do not.

...At the very least, I do not wish to see another young person I care for die.

This isn't just fighting, Karen. Aqua had magic, too, and she still died.

[ he frowns ]

I want to prevent as many deaths as possible. This isn't the way.

[ Oh thank you Oda. Alcor isn't in this conversation anymore, but he nods from wherever he is. ]

[He also quietly nods at that, joining Alcor.]

And you wandering around Thursday night on your own is? I don't know if you remember, but I've already died in a situation like this once before. I promise you, I am completely aware of the danger.

Karen...

[ oda groans, dragging one hand down his face. ]

You're staying under my watch at all times.
