WEEK 5.

WEEK 5

Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now.

It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well.

Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you.

[OOC: Welcome to week five of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Alena!]

That's a natural ability of vampires.

[ It's why, tomorrow, that incentive will feel so threatening to her: it's real. ] When we hunt, we take the human's blood, and then erase their memories of the attack happening. It's common practice.
evilfrenzy: (♟ oh...)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-14 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Charm...ing...

[Holy shit what does he say to any of that?? Well obviously she's not doing any of that here, so...]

And I assume you have control over how much is erased?
matchbreaker: (Man did this one even turn out ok)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-14 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmhm. Though it's not like it's all a cinch. Erasing the last thirty minutes or even the last few hours of someone's mind is simple. But if you want to pick out specific things? The more nuanced you're being, the harder it is.
evilfrenzy: (♟ can we not)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-14 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that makes sense. Natural abilities like that are never so easy. It seems like something that would require a good amount of practice.
matchbreaker: (Rare Hits!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-14 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Practice and a certain level of natural talent.
evilfrenzy: (♟ thought you'd seen the last of me)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, of course. I imagine not just any vampire could reach such levels.

[...and since Elda specifically pointed it out and he doubts she can actually do it here-]

How far have you gotten with it, then?
matchbreaker: (Get off my dick)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-15 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, normally, it would only take me a few seconds to erase you back to being a four year old.
evilfrenzy: (♟ bisley pls)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-15 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...if it means anything, he doesn't seem to doubt her. Shit.]

I don't think you could've phrased it any less horrifically.
matchbreaker: (Hell Cat!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-15 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if it's true, is there any real reason to be modest?
evilfrenzy: (♟ are you kidding me)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-15 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, not at all. Twenty-five years... [Yikes.] Far more than enough to erase the memories of whatever could happen here.

[Like, for covering up a murder in the event of potential witnesses. Fun but unfortunate things like that.]
matchbreaker: (Wow cool...)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-16 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! That's about the only ability I've realized might have made things a bit too easy for me here.

[ She says this cheerily though?? Kimblee sort of helped her realize it. ]
evilfrenzy: (♟ oh please)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
"A bit".

[It's pretty crazy to imagine that really fucking with trial proceedings and whatnot.]

I do have to wonder how they did, though. [Shut off abilities like that, he means.] Alena wasn't much of a talker when it came to that subject, unsurprisingly.
matchbreaker: (Adam West Show)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-16 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I never really bothered to ask other than to complain the first time.

[ She got spited for that so.

Shrug. ]


It's biology, so I have no idea.
evilfrenzy: (♟ are you kidding me)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-17 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I did ask, since the changes I encountered were biological as well. [With a shrug,] But, Alena being as blunt as she is, refused to give me an actual reason for it. I suppose there is not much point in dwelling on it, but it does bother me a bit by not knowing... These are our bodies, after all.

[He's still really conflicted about it.]
matchbreaker: (WITH CRUEL INTENTIONS)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-17 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, is your magic stuff not really magic either?

[ She nods a little. ]
evilfrenzy: (♟ shit got my ass kicked)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-17 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...somewhat? It is naturally within us when we are born, but it must be "awakened" to be accessed. Mine has been active since I was, oh...a young teenager. I didn't think it could be "turned off", so to speak.
matchbreaker: (She-Hulk!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-18 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. ... So it doesn't rely on any outside stuff, just purely your own? Like that Milla woman told me her people use spirits to do magic stuff.

[ If she understood it right. ]
evilfrenzy: (♟ can we not)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-18 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
["That Milla woman." He can't help but find that to be a little amusing, although...]

It does and it doesn't. [How...vague. But he'll do his best to explain.] Spirits do need to be present for the use of general artes, because they are called upon per use of an arte. But the Chromatus is different, as it has already been imprinted on us by the spirit. We only need a specific physical conduit to activate it.

[...]

I've managed to retrieve that conduit here, but it has no effect in this place.
matchbreaker: (Kanye West)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you said it was from within, just had to be... oh, the physical thing activates it, and the thing within was given to you by that god which challenged you guys? Is that it?
evilfrenzy: (♟ tsk tsk)

[personal profile] evilfrenzy 2017-10-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. I do realize that it sounds convoluted, because it most certainly is.

[JRPG worldbuilding, man.]
matchbreaker: (D J COLIN)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it really does! But hey, what's real is real and we've got to manage it.

[ Waving a hand dismissively ]
