CHAPTER 5
CHAPTER 5
Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.
Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?
Snow!
Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.
Of their wishes.
Who will try to reach their wish this time?
[[Welcome to Week 5! 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.]]
no subject
I think he'd appreciate the gesture
no subject
I believe he woult, yes. Zough I cannot help but admit to being surprised over who among us are the sentimental type.
[He really expected the tie to have been taken by Jack or Yuri by now, but he wasn't complaining.]
no subject
But I think it's a good thing
no subject
[Talking about his feelings...it was so foreign, but almost in a good way. Getting some of the bad feelings made things feel a little better...almost good.
Almost.]
Do ozers have any? Wis how many of us have fallen, I half expect for zere to be a memento from everyone who has died.
[Except for Zola.]
no subject
He may have paid less attention to C-ta than Nageki, but it's definitely his.]
no subject
I...woult question zat, but I have no room to judge. I hat consitered taking somesing of Herr Campbell's before thinking othervise.
[The man may have been the victim, in the end, but he wasn't an innocent man. Still, the parrot's feeling for him were...not entirely negative, and he just felt conflicted about it all. He didn't like it.]
no subject
If they need their wish enough
Even I've considered it
So I can't hate the people who've acted
The only person here I hate is Hamelin
no subject
Still, it is...complicated, when comparing sings to Herr c-ta or Frau Rika.
no subject
I won't get mad if you make fun of my taste in men
It's probably deserved
no subject
Apologies, I meant comparing zeir motives to zat of Herr Campbell. I was actually able to learn vhat his wish was, before his death. It is one sing to kill to save ozers.
It is anozer to kill just to be satiate vone's greed.
[Is he insulting the dead? Maybe a little bit, but hey, if Norton wanted to kill so bad-despite Pericles' attempts to prevent it from happening-then he had every right to talk shit, as far as the parrot was concerned.]
no subject
That is harder to sympathize with
My wish was that the Kotori Obake never became a violent spirit
There must be easily a hundred children trapped in that forest as tormented souls
If I thought that Hamelin would honor his part of the bargain
And I thought that I could get away with it
(Neither of which are true)
I can't promise I wouldn't have done anything
no subject
Qvite honestly? I woult not have blamed you if you had tried. Wis how this spirit works, and how much ozers in your village seem to bury zeir heads in the sand about it, either zat or eliminating the spirit entirely woult be the only immediate solutions zat could come to mind.
But after the almost convenience of Forger dying before signs of her wish being granted could show, it is hard to believe anysing Ze Piper has to say.
no subject
No one should
It's way too convenient that our wishes are only granted after the game is over
When it no longer matters to him
no subject
Even wis the factor of convenience against him, it is hart to turn down getting somesing you desire so greatly.
[It's cynical, but realistic. He doesn't see things changing this week.]
no subject
But I know better than to hope that no one will this week
no subject
[...though, now that he thinks about it...]
A question; do you know if anyvone else here is able to examine corpses thoroughly? I ask only because I vas aware of only myself and Herr Moriarty being very knowledgeable on the subject.
[They...honestly may need more corpse touchers, if things keep going at the rate they're going.]
no subject
Of the living
Yuri has experience with medicine but that doesn't translate necessarily to knowledge of anatomy
Some of the others have combat experience but I don't know if they're capable of identifying things besides normal combat wounds
no subject
[A sigh.]
Perhaps I shoult speak wis Frau Elizabeth in this case. If sings continue as they have, it woult be best to have more zan one person who can look over a corpse while knowing vhat they are doing.
Unless you have ozer recommendations.
[He's open to tutoring 'How to look at a corpse' classes]
no subject
I don't think there are any textbooks in the archives that advanced
no subject
no subject
But I hope I never have to put it into practice
[Nothing bad is allowed to happen to Pericles.]
no subject
[Because he does not plan on going anywhere, let me tell you.]
