Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 1, submit your memory regain, and turn in your Benefactor threads! ))

How did it even fit in there? Whatever it is, there's no way any one person would go through all of it. [Yes, he is a 16yo boy, but no, his brain is not going to see that and immediately go 'it's 90 pounds of fucking lube', because only an insane person would think up something like that.] Where are you going to put it?

[newcycle]

In the common areas... maybe if something goes wrong, we can use it to fix stuff?

[playthedamncard]

Can you...bend it?

[newcycle]

[Korra opens her mouth.

Shuts her mouth.

Looks at the tub.

Then back at Kaiba]

Why?

[playthedamncard]

[That is a perfectly sound question now that he thinks about it, but this is Kaiba, he has to double-down on it.] Wouldn't that make it easier to use?

[newcycle]

I.

Yes?

But...

[she looks at the spube.

And then back at him.

Damn it, now she's curious.]

[playthedamncard]

[He's thinking about this like in Harry Potter terms, telekinesis, but like with...that stuff. It kinda looks like toothpaste? And the label doesn't seem to help, it's alien gibberish. Figures.] I don't know what the limits to your bending are. The 'elements', but that doesn't sound specific enough to me. Coffee has water in it, thus do you bend the coffee or simply the water in it and separate the material? For example.

[newcycle]

You bend the water, and then everything else gets pulled with it...

[a... coffee bender? She looks a little amused at the idea, but she's not going to just tell Kaiba she's a coffeebender.]

We have people use bending in unique ways. There are waterbenders who bend the water in vines to make monsters and scare people away... Those are called swampbenders.

[playthedamncard]

[You don't have to tell him. He knows now.] Coffeebending would make mornings so much simpler.

...But that also has some more horrifying potential abuses. The human body is seventy percent or more water. In theory, then, you could bend a person.

[newcycle]

[well, now her blood runs cold. And she's suddenly very, extremely glad that Kaiba is not a waterbender. But he can probably see some of the color drain from her face.]

Bloodbending is banned for a reason.

[playthedamncard]

[wow that's a lot of faith you got in him] I should hope so. It'd be the easiest way to snap a person in half, and unless there's a witness, who's going to know what happened? There'd be no evidence.

[And on that horrifying note:] How common is the practice of bending?

[newcycle]

[SCREAMING INTERNALLY INTENSIFIES]

It's not common... but it's not rare, either...

You have a habit of saying the worst things, you know that, right?

[playthedamncard]

Do I? [...Hm.] But even so, they're not incorrect then. So someone's abused their power like that. How would one even regulate such a thing?

[newcycle]

You do.

Luckily, bloodbending is extremely hard. Most people can't do it at all, and the ones that can need a full moon, so we've only ran into that once.

But it's the worst feeling.

[playthedamncard]

So it's happened to you.
