CHAPTER 2

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

The first chapter was over. The stakes and mechanics of the system you're in have been shown to their full extent, and regardless of how you feel about the Samidare and Zola's deaths, the story must go on.

Clean-up is done with a perfection that'd make you wonder if there ever was a murder on that rooftop in the residential district. Everything is spotless and repaired, making it look like nothing ever happened. If it wasn't for the absence of two people among your number, you'd think it had all been a bad dream. But it wasn't. The brutality of the incident and the execution make that plainly clear.

Now, with the opening of a new week, something else opens. Lands beyond the area you spent seven days in. What will the new week bring? Will it be another murder?

Keep turning the pages and find out.

[[Welcome to Week 2! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

[ Why is SQ here in the first place? Hey a girls gotta exercise and she sure as hell ain't doing that in the training grounds. ]

Only if there's something spicy!

[biyishuangfei]

There might be something really spicy in one of these~ Want to take a look?

[ This was exactly why they got along. ]

[5_1_1]

Hehe, who do you think I am? ♥

[ Let's! She sits down next to SQ and leans on him because she certainly isn't going to be doing the page turning or reading here. ]

[biyishuangfei]

That's a good point. I do know you better by now.

[ That's totally fine with him! As they're reading, he'll ask: ]

So, are you going to root for the childhood friend or the new girl?

[5_1_1]

The new girl! Playing on childhood feelings...that's a dirty trick. [ It doesn't sound judgemental mind, it almost sounds like she's pouting instead. ]

[biyishuangfei]

Isn't it? I'm usually a fan of childhood romance, actually, but the way they write it in the books seems...hmm.

I'm not sure how to describe it? Not fulfilling?

[ He'll look thoughtful at least. ]

[5_1_1]

Mmn...I just don't know what it would feel like. Not everyone gets a childhood, actually?

[ She agrees, though. ]

[biyishuangfei]

Oh...oh, right. I hope I didn't make you upset by saying that.

[ He'll turn a page, before setting the book down for a bit. ]

You know, I realize I don't know much about you. Can you tell me something? Like your most favorite thing to do back home?

[5_1_1]

[ Oh she holds out her hands in front of her, a bit embarrassed. ]

No, no it's OK! I didn't mean to make this like, heavy or anything. [ She smiles, it's fine really. ]

But if we're paying 20 questions I'm OK with that too! But My favorite thing huh...I think it's just like, seeing whatever I can? Doing whatever I can and all that fun stuff.

What about you?

[biyishuangfei]

Well, alright.

[ ... also, what kind of answer was that to his question! Well, okay, that's fine. Some people were like that.

Anyway, Huaisang could always answer and he should since he started this, but he wanted to make a teensy game out of it now. ]

Hmm...how about you guess? It's something I can do and it's on my profile.

[5_1_1]

[ Sometimes you are just this way! ]

Mmm I haven't look at that in a while though....? [ Jeopardy theme song ensues. ]

So I'll just take a guess. Is it being the best party host? ♥

[biyishuangfei]

Hmmm...you know that is a pretty good guess. I am a really good party host, after all.

[ He'll look decently proud for a second. Yes, feed his small ego. ]

But, that's not right. Painting landscapes and fans is my most favorite way to spend my time.

[5_1_1]

[ She winks at him. ]

Ooh you gotta show me sometime! But wait, how are you good at fans?

[biyishuangfei]

[ Insert him sparkling here, except obviously it's not like legit sparkles in sight for obvious reasons. ]

I'm very good at painting fans. Though, I won't be able to show you until I get my hands on some materials...

[5_1_1]

OMG so you're like, an artist! When you have all the paint and stuff you need, will you paint one for me?

[biyishuangfei]

[ He'll nod easily enough. ]

I don't mind. Do you want a specific design or just any would do?

[5_1_1]

Something with hearts! And pink or green, hehe. [ Please see her entire color scheme. ]

But hey, that means I should do something for you, right? I'm not really artistic...unless you wanted makeup done? ♥

[biyishuangfei]

[ Huaisang made a mental note of that for later.

Anyway, he's never really worn makeup, but he's sure he'd look alright in it. ]

I'm not sure if I want something like that or not. I'm going to guess you're good at doing that, though?

[5_1_1]

The B-E-S-T. [ Wink. No really she does not have access to all the makeup she should here but she's made do with like the barest of materials and still looks pretty cute. ]

Some guys don't like it, but a little sparkle is good for everyone ♥. And it turns heads too!

[biyishuangfei]

[ Jeopardy music played in the background (not really) as NHS used this moment to think...

...

....

Okay, he's done. ]

Maybe a little might be good, then? I'd need to also look in a mirror or something before I actually commit to something like that.

[ But looking a little cute might not be bad. He'll also turn down applying any lipstick; but a face glow couldn't be too bad. ]

[5_1_1]

Hehehe, of course! I wouldn't send you out there without you seeing for yourself how good you'd look.

[ They'll need proper makeup for that mind, but its a thought for the future anyway. ] Got anyone in mind you wanna look hot for? ♥

[biyishuangfei]

[ And that, kids, was how SQ got Huaisang to blush. The Sect Leader pulled out his fan, lightly fanning himself.

Yes, he might have a crush on a certain someone here. ]

Oh! Well, I don't know. Maybe?

[ Said in the exact tone someone would use if they would, in fact, have a crush. Even if the practical part of him knew it was ill advised in a situation like this, he's a romantic at heart. ]

[5_1_1]

Tell me, tell me! ♥ I'll keep it a secret, I promise.

[ She looks pretty pleased with herself tbh. ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ He'll look suddenly determined and it was like he was a teenager again back in his time at Cloud Recesses, and he had admired beauty from afar, making comments to his oblivious friend who had seemed unable to appreciate the sight!

Except no it was a little more since this time he had associated with the person more instead of being just a troublemaker and...a terrible student, which meant he found out that the man had a charming personality too (to him, at least!). Granted McGillis did see his terrible goof up just like everyone else, but still!! ]

There's only one way to make that promise believable, SQ.

[ Serious (????) voice as he held out his pinky to her. ]

[5_1_1]

Hehe, of course!

[ Grasping his pinkie with her own. ]

I totally, really, super swear that I won't tell anyone!
