WEEK 4

[bathymetric]

Another trial, another week, and still you're probably running lower on answers than you'd like. And on people - you lost three since last Sunday. By the end of this week, you'll have been here for nearly a full month, yet still the days crawl on.

You wake up Sunday, again with no memory of Saturday, but this time with a simple message on your devices: You may resume requesting items, if you like. Enjoy. Guess it really was just a stealth motive after all, but at least it's being communicated that it's over! That's something, at least.

And when you leave your rooms on Sunday, there's another new area to explore! This one is... certainly more ambitious in its construction than the last one, to say the least. But hey, you have a pretty neat place to host parties, if you feel so inclined! That's... fun...

Hey, you gotta find the fun in situations like this where you can! Silver linings, right?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ She looks from Jasper to the chainsaw-sword. ]

I'd...be cautious about that. Some of them are designed to cut metal, but...others can't. It might just end up hurting someone, or- well...you know. Letting the water in.

[hardnosed]

So try it on one we know isn't holding any water back.

[ This does not address the first issue raised, at all. ]

Unless you think that'll destabilize the base.

[nothingcanstop]

[ She taps her fingers together. Jasper isn't going to listen to worries about hurting someone else, so... ]

I think it might be risky. Especially since we don't know how thick those walls are. If it breaks the chainsaw, we'd also be pretty out of luck. We should test its durability before moving forward with anything else.

[hardnosed]

[ HMMMMMMMMMMM ]

You're probably right. [ oh, thank god ] So how do we do it? Just pick tougher and tougher things to cut through?

[nothingcanstop]

[ internally sobbing with relief ]

Yeah--but we start small. See how easily it can cut through wood, before moving on to different kinds of metal. If...there were some kind of metalworking room, that'd be so much easier, but...

[hardnosed]

That machine keeps spitting out swords. Might as well use them for something.

[ That isn't, you know, the murder Zelos is gonna commit a hot second from now. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ yeah this thread's mighty Yikes in hindsight. ]

Ohh, now that-- that's a great idea! If the chainsaw can cut through the sword... Well, that'd be a real good start.

[ .....of course this is going to require the STUPIDEST investigation ever, you know ]
