WEEK 3

[bathymetric]

Well, the tail end of Week 2 could have gone better. That's the first thing to note.

The second thing is... hang on, should it be Week 3 yet? You've all gone to sleep (or... not, in the case of anyone who doesn't), but when you wake up (and you do all wake up), the calendar and clock on your device informs you that it's Sunday. In-character, all characters explicitly have absolutely no memory of Saturday.

Your sense of time isn't the only thing that's changed - a new branch of the facility has opened and become active overnight, giving you new resources and places to investigate, should you so choose. There's also a new channel on the television, though whether it's an improvement over the last one is questionable.

Otherwise, though, things have mostly settled into normalcy again, or at close to normal as you can find in this place. How long that peace will last, though... that's becoming increasingly uncertain, moving forward.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 3! Turn in last week's AC over here, and regains remain over this way! And for the sake of consistency, Angel's office hours remain over yonder! ]

I'd taken a few girls at my school into an alliance. They're from less established families, but they were still participants in GRANBELM. So while I was the leader, they stayed at my home and followed my orders as long as they were active in the competition.

Hakamada Suishou is the one I mentioned. Flighty, annoying, but useful when she wanted to be. But the other day, before I came here, she decided to run off on me. It was as if she was a completely different person. Some people just hide who they are until they can strike for whatever they want from you.

You can't seriously be surprised by that, can you? The way you told me, GRANBELM is a fight until there's only person left. Even if everything went exactly as you planned it, the lot of you would still have to clear each other out in the end, anyway.

I know that! [Anna's face starts twitching, however.] I've cut my losses with that one anyway. Ernesta is the bigger problem right now. After her, the other three should be a piece of cake, unless one of them's hiding something else.

[mouflon]

[ Hmm. ]

Well, good luck with that. [ Either way, she's obviously already paid for that mistake, so there's no point in rubbing it in. ] Sounds like we were both getting pretty close to the end, before all this.

[emberserker]

Of course. Why would the Professor want anything but to frustrate us by taking us just before we were about to succeed?

[mouflon]

Anything to make sure this is the most unbearable vacation of our lives.

[ Just to make the deal he's offering that little bit more appealing. ]
