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.]]

We all could After we get out of here I think we should all meet up sometimes to hang out and celebrate being alive

I wonder if that will be possible... I suppose that depends on how exactly we were brought here in the first place, and how we'll get back home.

[Huh, something he hadn't really considered before now...]

Even if we can't travel freely They won't just automatically send people back to their worlds if they'd rather go somewhere else, right? If it would be dangerous for them to go to their own world they can go to someone else's, right?

[IMMEDIATE CONCERN]

[Hmmm....]

I don't think we can really guess one way or another just yet. We don't know enough about how we were brought here to begin with. If we assume it was Hamelin's magic, then he'd have to return us...

[And uh. Good luck getting Hamelin to agree to something like that...]

Oh no

[He hates this!!]

["oh no" is right!!!]

Of course, that is just speculation. Perhaps we can figure something else out!

I'll do whatever I can I won't let C-ta go back to his world to die

[hmmmmmmm.]

I see, so that's what was awaiting him back home. I hope there's some way to work things out, then.

Someone has to keep an eye on him anyway

That does seem like it'd be for the best.

I have experience wrangling people + I don't think anyone else will volunteer

I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you may be right about that one...

You can make fun of my taste in men It's fine

Nonsense, it's not as though my taste in men is incredible either!

Do you like anyone here

I wouldn't say I'm particularly romantically interested in anyone here, but I don't usually date much to begin with, so!

[There are some objectively hot people here, though!!]

That's probably for the best Now's not a good time for dating

[Hmm, awkward!!]

I wasn't interested in dating anyone before arriving here, so it's not as though it's just because of the situation.

[He has never claimed to make good decisions.]

I see It's hard being a single parent though

I wouldn't say it's easy, but I've been lucky enough to have had a fairly good time of it.

[It helps that he's rich!!!]

Besides, Droite and Gauche are sixteen now, they don't need a parent around all the time.

[does that stop them from willingly hanging around yeager all the time? no. but they're basically adults in terca lumireis!!]

Oh It always seemed like Father was struggling with it But I was still young then

[He thinks of the taunts he received from other children about having no mother, and hopes that Gauche and Droite have never had to deal with the same.]

I imagine your circumstances are quite a bit different... I adopted the twins when they were... eight or nine, perhaps?

[shaking my fist at canon because it never gave me info on this!!!]

At that age I was still being bullied by other children for not having a mother Kids can be cruel I hope your daughters never had to go through that

From the sound of it, they were quite close with everyone at the orphanage. The matron's quite the kind woman, but she's also very no-nonsense! Not overly strict, but certainly not the sort to put up with any bullying. I moved Gauche and Droite to Dahngrest after that, and I sincerely doubt anyone would have given them trouble.

[Both because Droite and Gauche would absolutely beat them up and because their dad was leading the assassins' guild. Perfectly normal things.]

I am sorry to hear that, though. Children certainly can be quite cruel to anyone who doesn't fit in.

[My dad can beat up your dad: ultimate edition.]

That's good to hear I wouldn't wish that on anybody
