Week 3

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

It's a strange sort of feeling, waking up on Sunday. Not the least because, well... you fell asleep on Friday, didn't you? Whether you sleep or not, none of you remember Saturday. Everything, by all accounts, seems to be Sunday. Weird.

It's not all bizarre feelings of lost time that you have to show for your efforts, though - it seems that another wing of New Rapture is ready for you. Perhaps there's more information to be found about your situation there... and maybe more about the history of this place, if that interests you.

There are still 23 of you left... Keep getting to know them. There's regains to get, after all!




SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

That's noble of you.

[ It's not said as a bad thing, just simply stated. ]

We keep reminding each other of those we know back home. Olim-noona would have said the very same thing, and lectured me about virtues about looking out for everyone.

It's not something I can often entertain given the circumstances. But in this case...I told Hodaka what he was willing to hear, but that wasn't enough either. Once people make up their mind, there's really not much you can do, in most cases.

...there had to have been some way to stop him. At the very least, I am sure he would have had more of a difficult time with me than Adaman.

[on account of being like 6'7" and beefy instead of the shortest guy here probably.]

[buriedstar]

Well, I would hope so.

[ He looks up at Gaius, his lip curling up in amusement. ]

But unless you were willing to stay with him 24/7, it likely still wouldn't have changed much.

[howveryglib]

...I know. I understand that, and yet I still cannot help but feel I failed him on some level.

[buriedstar]

[ He's quiet for a moment, perhaps reflecting on the other man's words. ]

...it's human to feel that way. And failure can lead to growth too, though I understand it doesn't really work in this instance. Still, you did what you thought was enough at the time.

Don't disregard that entirely, Baelsar.

[howveryglib]

...yes. I will try and take that to heart.

[It would be easier to sound convincing if it hasn't felt like a pattern, he thinks. But it's not like he's going to say that. He's already admitted more than he'd like to as it is.]
