Week 6

Monday - Thursday

[ There is a particularly somber atmosphere in the quiet hotel. The day before ended with a terrible miscalculation and an innocent life lost in the name of the “experiment”. Emotions certainly ran high and it would not be strange for those effects to linger into the dawn of the new week. Until now they had successfully determined and executed three other murderers. But the fourth got away. They may not want to face the future yet—but the experiment stops for nothing. 

The opening of a new wing would probably be of little solace to them. But it's not long before they are granted a small distraction.

Early Monday morning -- before they’ve even had a chance to properly examine the new floor and it’s rooms -- a text announcement arrives, following a small jingle. The sound is new; different from the announcement tones used during the investigation last week. It’s just as loud and persistent, but there’s an annoying set of four repeated notes in a pattern that lazily imitates a song assigned to this notification.]

Hello participants. 

I hope you are doing well this morning and are well rested for the day ahead. There will be a meeting held in the lobby fifteen minutes from now. You will all be required to attend. Any person who is absent will be appropriately hunted down and brought to the meeting place by whatever means necessary. An important change has been made to the experimental proceedings, of which you must all now be made well aware.

See you all in fifteen minutes.

[ Mikami sighs and brings his hand to his forehead as if to fight an oncoming headache. ]

I'd say that you and Lowell should have confessed along with Graham, but it seems you are not the only vigilantes around.

[ A grimace. ]

Though Graham's death seems more like a preventive measure to avoid the reverse situation.

[nevergraduating]

Yeah, didn't exactly want to paint a target on my back after that. [He's got someone to try and keep living for, after all.]

Looks like it. Pretty dangerous to have a guy who can target anyone around and who's shown he's more than willing to take advantage of it.

[A beat.]

So, what are you gonna do about it? [It's an honest question - the tone isn't taunting despite the words, and if Mikami feels like making it public, he won't protest either. He dug his own grave with this one.]

[inordertobelieve]

Nothing.

[ There is a pause here too. He'll put all these USBs back to where they were in the meantime. ]

If someone asks me about it, I won't lie about your involvement, but I feel no need to make an announcement about it either. I haven't done it for Lowell either.

In a place where we can trust nobody, communal decisions aren't always for the best it appears.

[ HAZAMAGATE......... why couldn't we just execute him immediately, sheesh. ]

[nevergraduating]

[Maybe he shouldn't really be surprised considering the Yuri thing wasn't made public, but still. Crow's silent for a little bit as he looks at Mikami.]

...Heh. Thanks. I wonder if I should say that I owe you one.

[Not that he's as likely to get as much backlash regardless, but... well. You never know, in a place like this.]

[inordertobelieve]

You shouldn't.

[ ... he says, oddly promptly for something that doesn't necessarily require an answer. ]

I'd rather you just put your efforts into not killing anybody undeserving and surviving this instead of starting a favor-based bias system.

[nevergraduating]

["Anyone undeserving", eh...]

If someone else is counting on me for that, guess I really do have to rise to the occasion, don't I? And here I was, thinking my days of holding responsibility were done and over with. [Sigh! It sounds exaggerated, though.]
