CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2




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.]]

[ At that, he nods. ]

I am. May as well, given our circumstances. Do you know anything about self-defense?

Not with any kind of weapon. I'm sort of familiar with things more hand-to-hand, but anything I've ever done has been airborne, and with magic.

[ He considers this.... ]

What if I asked you to teach me some hand-to-hand, then? I have another person helping me now, but I wouldn't mind learning some other things, too.

[ She blinks at him, a little surprised. ]

Me? ...Are you sure?

[ She's not exactly sure she's the best one to be going to about it, but... ]

Why wouldn't I be?

[ He doesn't really know Morgan, but he wants to see what she can do, and he thinks she'll probably be better at it than she thinks. ]

[ She looks unsure as she thinks about it, but after a moment or two she nods in reply. ]

I can try.

[ She moves closer to Tenn, her wings shifting slightly behind her. ]

Do you know anything already?

[personal profile] incompletely 2021-06-11 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Not much, if I'm being honest.

[ He puts down his axe and the book in preparation for this mini lesson Morgan's about to give. ]

Adora's taught me a few things but I'm still a rookie.

[ She nods. ]

That's fine. I wouldn't call myself an expert, either.

[ Still, she does what she can with what she has, mostly in showing him how to use momentum to create distance from an assailant. Mostly defensive, but there's probably offensive applications to it.

They probably go for a little while, before one of them calls it quits. ]


That was good. You should be fine if you're caught unawares at all.

Thank you, Morgan-san.

[ He learned a lot in such a short period of time...he's impressed. ]

You're a better teacher than you think you are.

[ She pauses again, giving him a slight nod. ]

I've never done anything like this before. I'm sure it's in large part to you being a quick learner.
