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! ))

Accessing memory may not be so difficult. [Or it is, but someone like Noa had a good many years to be able to do it.] This place is already more sophisticated than most everyone here is used to seeing. If they've the ability, truly, to bring various peoples in space and time to wherever we are being physically housed, then maybe they can manipulate our own memories in such a way.

[It's cold comfort, because--and this is a thought he dare not speak--what if he's wrong?]

You don't think that could be 'your' Saber because of the way the rules of your world work. And if it is an alternate Saber, a Saber in this world or somehow a different one...would it matter as much to you?

[At that question, Manaka looks up again. She blinks as if surprised, but there's no hesitation before her answer.]

Eh? Of course I would still care. Saber is Saber, even when he isn't "mine".

[Kaiba, she was fascinated by the alternate universe Rule 63 version, don't underestimate her obsession.]

But that isn't the point, is it? Even if it's another Saber, or even if it's a fabrication, it's an insult that they would make such a threat at all.

[playthedamncard]

But he would be a Saber belonging to another you. Or even another person.

...You're right, however, that it's an insult. To make that kind of threat to any of us. It's an incredible step up from last week, at least.

[immaculacies]

That's fine. It's Saber, so... Even if he doesn't return these feelings, I would protect him, no matter what.

[The tone of her voice had dropped to something gentle and almost delicate, but... Aha. "A step up." Suddenly, the smile on her face broadens, in a way that might not be entirely reassuring.]

Mm-hm. It is. Do you think Petuu-san [somehow, the honorific sounds sarcastic here] was offended that no one accepted her generous offer for a vacation?

[playthedamncard]

No. To be honest, I think she was bored last time. She was far more interested in her phone for the most part, after all. I think this time, she's more invested, and not simply because of what happened. They're probably getting instructions from someone even higher up than themselves, which is troubling but not surprising.
