I think I just have to use it during the trial.

... That's a good idea, Shi. And yes, this lasts for two weeks. If I don't use it this week, I'll have to use it next week.

Ahaha, I have good ideas sometimes! [she smiles] All right. We have a plan, then.

Right.

Which is maybe more than I feel we've had in a while.

[she'll agree with that... they've had vague ideas of what they want to accomplish, but this is a step towards actually accomplishing it.]

I'll say it again - good work! [she grins] I'm glad Greed was willing to help, too.

Honestly? I'm surprised. They've always been kinda tricky to talk to, and definitely don't seem willing to play along with any teasing.

I'd assumed they'd politely tell me to piss off.

Tricky...? They've seemed pretty nice to me. Brusque, maybe, but pretty reasonable! I think they're just a very serious person.

A shame. They could probably do with a little more balance in their lives.

But I've only spoken to them a couple of times, really. I can give them another chance.

I should talk with them more... they're out and around this week, though, so that should make it easier.

I wonder what the rest of the rotation will be. We've had... Despair, Gluttony, Pride and Greed. So that's just Envy, Sloth, Wrath and Lust left to go.

I guess it's fair those four went first - we got to see the other four in person at the beginning, right?

We did. [ of course his #1 best Avatars are all in that second group so he's just sat here like when can i bother them in pubbblliiicccc ]

But I'm curious about what else this place has. I mean.... a whole... terminal thing this week? The circus the other week? A ... park?

[ the fuck is logic here ]

It may have something to do with the Avatars themselves. They were here for a while before us, right? ...they must have wanted something to remind themselves of home.

[she's feeling a little homesick and she's only been here like a month!]

Floor they've created themselves, maybe? I wonder if that's possible. We don't really even know where we are, let alone if you could do something like... influence this place or a floor or something.

Depending on how long ago it was, they might've just built it that way, too.

... You think it could be years they've been stuck here?

I don't know. It's hard to get a straight answer out of them about that, sometimes, so... [she shrugs] They've certainly been here much longer than us, at any rate.

A month isn't so long, relatively speaking. Although it feels both too long and like it's gone too fast.

...ahaha, it feels like it's been longer than that.

[it is week three.]

[ it is week three and i feel like it's week 23 ]

Right? And yet, it's gone by really fast as well.

...I wonder how long it is that we'll actually be here.

... It can't be forever. At least, I really don't think it can be.

[ at the very, very least... they only have a finite number of people who are here. and if people keep killing like this....... ]

...it can't be.

[even if people are dying, they don't have powers!! they'd die of old age eventually...]

If we arrived here there has to be a way to leave as well.

[ that... makes sense, right? ]

[she nods]

I've said it to a few people - if there's a way in, there's a way out.

We just have to figure out what that way is.

With as many of us alive and we can, right?

... I don't think just smashing down a wall would work. Although it'd net me so many points towards Wrath for the week.
