WEEK 7

[bathymetric]

Good morning, passengers. Happy Sunday. Happy New Year.

Another week, another three gone in the case alone, not to mention Chloe earlier in the week. Even as you gain access to another floor, the ship by now must be starting to feel more empty than ever. It's been a long time by now, approaching two months.

Where do you think you'll be, in two months more time?

The clouds have begun to gather around the ship, this week.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to week 7, everyone! Remember to turn in AC here and coins for regains over here! If you wish to get in contact with the npcs, Davy Jones is over here, and The Captain is over here! And as requested, profiles are accessible here. ]

That's rather the point of the persona--'Zero' is a shield to protect the people I care about from the work I have to do.

[Hm. Strawberries seemed in bad taste, maybe raspberry chocolate would be better.]

...My name is Lelouch Lamperouge, for all intents and purposes. My sister is named Nunnally.

[Filbo stares at him for a moment before finally saying, judging that, if Zero has announced his full name at him, then he, like Flayn, has decided to stop holding secrets around here, for one reason or another. Perhaps not out of sentimentality, perhaps it's more because there's no point in keeping the name as a secret here]

Nice to meet you, Lelouch Lamperouge.

[Lelouch and Nunnally...so Zero is a way to protect her, huh...]

Must be tough, to have to let go of that shield for a while.

I spoke about it a while ago with...with Plumeria. I've been living behind one mask or another for years and years that I...suppose I don't know where Zero stops and the real Lelouch begins anymore. 'Lamperouge' isn't even my surname, just another alias to protect us. The person I truly am isn't someone that any of you want to know, but it's someone who can survive here. That's all I need, right now.

[When Lelouch mentions Plumeria Filbo looks away. Ah, Plumeria...could her demise be part of what encouraged Lelouch to unmask himself a little more? Well, he probably would have done it at some point, but given what happened on Friday Filbo really suspects it's her influence somehow. She'd have been glad to see this, he thinks]

Whatever makes you comfortable, you know. I...I'm sure a lot of us have things we'd rather others to not be aware of, anyway.

[Some more than others, Filbo definitely on the lighter end]

At this point anything that's gonna keep us alive is good enough. I mean, that we're alive right now is something to be kinda proud of...

[Because really, defeating every trial so far, avoiding getting murdered, and not succumbing to the temptation of killing is far harder than it may seem]

[jibunwo]

...I suppose that you're right, aren't you?

[For a little while longer, some of them were still alive. That was worth something, even if he couldn't quite say what.]

[ahelpingpaw]

I hope I am!

[He sighs, a little dejected]

Honestly I have never been good at figuring out this kinda thing. It's complicated to even think about.

[Still, it's in his nature to lean towards the more positive facet of the situation, one way or another. Perhaps that's something he should be glad of]
