[ he's also looking at his phone and frowning deeply. probably holding will's hand. there is something moving around in the hood of his jacket. it's fine. ]
Wait, what kind of a rule is that? How does being a villain help anybody? Also if we have to do another trial if a villain does act, who would do it in the first place?
...Kind of makes sense, though, huh? Why execute Mika but put all ten of us in a jail cell for two days.
Because Mika was part of the plan. They want us killing each other and then being punished for it. If they lost ten of us at once, the game doesn't work.
[ ME EVEN LATER BECAUSE MY MONDAY CLASS SCHEDULE FUCKING SUCKS ]
What the... is this for real?? Do they think we want to go around offin' each other, 'cause I'm pretty sure we've kept our blades pretty firmly pointed at them.
[ everyone will get a text in the late afternoon. ]
ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!! please make sure way to the the establishment known as sew crafty we shall partake in the ritual known as........... ......... .......................... .... ................................. ............... ... ..................... making friendship bracelets :) please bring your jail clothes or at least a piece of it for this exercise
[ anyway. once you are there norma will be sitting there (im)patiently. hi. bracelet time. ]
[yes this is important. he's showing up and immediately starting to pick out colors for threads.]
Good idea, Norma. Ah, by the way - what trading cards does everyone have? I was taking a look at the computers downtown, and I think I could make some extras if I get a snapshot on my phone.
[ he's got his uniform in hand!! but just take a little strip off the sleeve 'cause he actually looks good in this and it gives him one more day of not doing laundry. important. ]
[chiemi is making friendship bracelets but unfortunately once she gets the hang of this i have to say, unfortunately, that she eventually starts making a bracelet that clearly is not related to the jail clothes or the other bracelets]
[he'll be waiting there when everyone shows up, and will fan out like ten key cards.]
I booked the suite. They only allow four people, so if anyone tries to talk to you, you all have to pretend your names are Melanie, Benjamin, or Ace. [he was worried ace wouldn't remember to do this.] Otherwise, we should be able to get in there any time we want. Might be useful.
[also it's just very cool to have a clubhouse that normally he could never afford.]
By the way, one of our tasks is Never Have I Ever. You guys want to play or something?
[no big deal, could be fun...] You just say something you've never done, and if somebody else does it, they have to drink their - [he realizes this is a group of teenagers.] soda.
[ there are four, freshly baked apple pies and like three cartons of expensive af vanilla bean ice cream along with a thing of (homemade) caramel sauce and disposable plates/silverware.
hung's wrote a little note to go with the food that just says HELP YOURSELVES, BUT MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS A SLICE IF THEY WANT :) ]
[ sometime thursday afternoon, everyone will receive a text from either hung or nico with something along the lines of a request to meet in ben, melanie, and ace's room.
once everyone has arrived and the door has been shut, they'll see that both parties sitting and holding white pieces of paper. for a while there's silence...and then nico speaks. ]
Not only is there a rule in place now that heroes may act as villains, it seems that heroes can disappear under mysterious circumstances and be removed from Oceanside City. We were both sent elsewhere this morning, but we received some information you guys should probably hear...
[ he's holding his piece of paper, but he's reading off of it. ]
"The stakes so far have been too boring. It’s no fun when all they do at the end of the day is go home, so for the next round, we’ll spice it up a bit. If they want a chance for anyone to return at all, they’ll have to take that chance from someone else.
One death each week is enough to keep the door open. Kill, or lose everything any of them have cared about. Let’s see how heroic they can be in those conditions."
week 1, monday
and then ace checks his phone and sees the rule update ]
What the hell?
