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! ))

[karappo]

Of course I would! It would be only fair if you do not have a way to own it back home. Consider it as a gift from a friend.

[challengesfate]

That's...thank you, Karamatsu - whatever it is, I'll treasure it...!

[Because he's a bit odd but so far Karamatsu is a nice guy? And she understands less and less why his title is what it is.]

[karappo]

[Yeah...Karamatsu might be a nice guy, but he's still pretty shit. He means well, but...Lucina's only had to deal with him for a week, not literal years like most others who know him.]

Any time, my lady. What are you working on there, in the meantime?

[challengesfate]

[Lies and slander, he may be a shithead but he's her shithead now.]

Oh, um, the title isn't necessary. But I'm just drawing some things that remind me of home.

[She has the basic drawing skills of a 3rd grader.]

[karappo]

Oh! May I see?

[Don't worry, not everybody can be Picasso.]

[challengesfate]

Of course.

[Turning so you can see all the doodles of her friends and some dergans.]

[karappo]

Oh! Oh that is very nice, Lucina-san.

[Nice...to a degree.]

Who did you draw, your friends from home?

[challengesfate]

Yes. I...wasn't sure how to start, but, drawing them led to many, many other things I thought of to add. So...it's not a coherent picture, but, I'm happy to have made it.

[karappo]

Is that not how all artwork goes? Once the artist puts their pen to paper, whatever comes is a direct product of the imagination. No need for coherency if you yourself know its meaning, or intend for it to be interpreted however the viewer sees fit.

[Kara it's a kindergarten grade drawing it's not that deep.]

[challengesfate]

It's really not that meaningful beyond being of my friends. But, thank you.

[karappo]

It is very nice either way. Perhaps I should make something...for my brothers. Once we get out of here, it will at least be proof that I was someplace with enough time to make something for them.

[challengesfate]

You should! What do you think they would like?

[karappo]

Knowing them? All different things. Though I could make them something out of clay...do you know if there is anything like that here?

[challengesfate]

I'm not sure, but, if that is something typical of places for art...then there must be some here.

[karappo]

It is! I have not worked with arts and crafts in a while, but I do enjoy making things. Particularly clothing, but I made sculptures in art class at school...I am certain I could come up with something for all of them.

[challengesfate]

Did you? That...sounds like fun. I didn't know typical schools allowed you to do things like this.

[karappo]

Oh, of course! Back in highschool there were clubs for almost everything you could think of. Sports, art, music, drama...I was a drama club kid, myself.

[challengesfate]

That sounds like they provided a very rich education...and, everyone was allowed to attend?

[karappo]

Everyone who wanted to! Usually one would have to pick just one or two clubs to join since they were after school activities...rarely was there time in the day for more than that. I have been out of school for some time now, but I do miss it.

[challengesfate]

That's quite incredible...anything beyond the basics were not often taught to many people where I'm from. I had tutors when I was small, but, they never offered anything like a club...

[Though the Shepherds are kind of like a club. A "protection of the people" club.]

[karappo]

I suppose that would make sense, given our worlds are so different. What did your tutors teach you?

[challengesfate]

Oh...reading, and writing, and some mathematics...how to conduct oneself at court, how to be diplomatic and polite...I think there would have been much more if I hadn't of had to stop when I was still young.

[karappo]

[Makes sense, all basic things...well, maybe except the thing about court.]

You were unable to finish your studies?

[challengesfate]

[Eeey Princess crap]

Unfortunately, yes. After my father died...many things in the Halidom began to unravel. Training to defend myself became much more paramount than courtly rituals or dancing, or...whatever other things I was to learn.

[karappo]

I see...I am sorry to hear that. No child should be denied a childhood, even given the circumstances.
