Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

[ honestly even though this is deeply unprecedented she still only takes like five seconds of buffering before: ]

Goodness. Hello, everyone!

[ AND WAVES... ]

[cannotunravel]

Hello. Somehow, you managed to reach us. I can't even hazard a guess how.

[fillets]

Oh, I have no idea, myself. Athena connected us to you, but as to how we reached her, it's all a mystery!

Did reuniting with the others help change that thing we talked about at all...?

[ you know, friendship, ]

[cannotunravel]

I think it has...kind of helped. Although I do not intend to amend any kind of friendship with Zvei. If anything, I hoped I would get to give him some payback.

But Sayo was clear on that it wasn't allowed.

[Just one clean hit, Misane hoped for, alas]

[tripartites]

All I said was to take it outside!

[cannotunravel]

That'd put Zvei on high alert.

[wow misane you cant just announce how you wish you had done a sneak attack on someone else]

[fillets]

Ah, that's a relief. You didn't seem like the type...

[fillets]

Well, that's just sensible. He already decided an alliance wasn't worth it, after all—and he didn't count on the possibility of an afterlife. Opposing him in any way you wish is your right from now on.

[ ... ]

All four of you were clever and brave, that night. It's a shame that it wasn't enough.

[cannotunravel]

To be fair, before meeting Crito I didn't think afterlives existed. [Although truthfully she wishes she was with Crito's mom instead of wherever she is. On the other hand, if she were, she'd have no chance to return to life, would she?]

It's odd. I figured you all would think us three victims were foolish for having gotten ourselves in danger in the first place.

[Not that Misane feels she was foolish, she just didn't think others would see their actions as clever]

[fillets]

It was incredibly foolish, [ she says, raising her index finger in reproof. ] You especially! Running from safety when you could have stayed put and told us all who was responsible the next day...

But you couldn't live with that, right? Bravery is always a little foolhardy when your enemy outmatches you. You devised a way to watch out for violence, and you did your best to save a comrade in the face of certain death.

[cannotunravel]

I knew I should have. I had been thinking about that right when it all started... [Misane so unaware you all found her writing about that, hah] ...but in the end, I do this job because I want to make people's lives a little safer. Letting someone die would go against it, I guess.

Not that I figured out this is how I felt until I got here where I am.

[She doesn't know herself as much as she thought she did, oops]

[fillets]

Dying probably does that. The change in perspective, you know... and you're very young.
