SHIP-TRAP day four

28 players remaining

The sun rises, and with it comes the loud gong of a bell, which signals that you're able to return to the grounds of the mansion. In fact, it seems like that same unseen force is compelling you to, since the longer you stay in the jungle, the more you feel the unsettling feeling of being watched. When you arrive, Iván is waiting at the foot of the stairs to greet you.

"Good morning. Breakfast is waiting in the dining room."

You have until 6PM to explore the grounds of the mansion and talk amongst yourselves. In addition, you can see the paper votes from the previous night's trial laid out by the guestbook if you want to confirm what you saw yesterday.

The trial will start on August 20th. Though a special post for discussion will go up for voting, you are encouraged to discuss who to vote for throughout the day.

[Clarine's got her head down, focused on her breakfast--though closer look shows that she's not eating so much as just shoving the food around her plate. Terrible manners, really.

But listening to the conversations around her is making her stomach too tight and tense to even imagine eating a bite.

Three people....she'd had hope, the day before with Stocking. But after how that ended, she finds it hard to be that hopeful again.]

... We... have to look for them, do we not...?

[She's not volunteering though, thanks.]

Y-yeah. Let's... give it a little more time, and then... I'm going to go check around.

It's early still, they could just... be running late.

[Yep, all three of them. Running late. That's definitely it.

...Yeah, Hinata just sounds like he's repeating what others have said without really believing any of it.]

R-right...

[She doesn't believe it either, but...]

Hinata, was it? I will leave it up to you then. [But there's nothing at all imperious or commanding about her tone--just tired.]

...Yeah. No problem. Leave it to me.

[Gotta make up for poor performance of screaming at Stocking's corpse, after all. He sounds equally as tired, though.]

[They are all just so tired...and it's only day four. Someone save these children.]

Very well then... You must be certain to eat. You need to keep your strength up to properly tramp around this crude and barbaric jungle.

[Oh right, breakfast. That... sure was a thing he was (not) eating.]

...You too, you know. Unless you're planning to stay inside all day?

[Look at him go, eating some food, though he doesn't really seem to be actually enjoying it.]

We will.

[Gi-ne watches Clarine for a minute, remembering her reactions to all the deaths yesterday... They weren't easy on anyone, but Gi-ne can tell all this is especially taking it's toll on Clarine.] I'll take care of it, don't worry. You should stay here, just in case.

[In case of what?? Who knows.]

[You know what, she's really not going to argue that. She doesn't want to see more gruesome, mutilated dead bodies...though she knows she'll have to, in the end.

...]

Yes, of course. I shall...remain and-- and... [... she can't even think of anything to cover it up, it really is just "Stay so I don't have to stumble across a body". Pretty cowardly all around.]

[... ! Idea!]

Remain and make sure everyone else that stays behind or shows up eats a proper meal and isn't hurt or anything. All this stuff isn't really healthy, even without people trying to kill each other. I bet people aren't looking after themselves properly, you make sure they're all okay.

Is that...so...

[There's a pause as she thinks it over, and then...just relief. That's something she can do, and she won't even feel (as much) like a coward doing it.]

I shall certainly accomplish that. You may count on me, Gi-ne.

I know I can. Let's count on each other, okay?

[Honestly, it's not just busy work. She is seriously concerned about everyone's eating habits.]

After everybody eats. [You should eat, Clarine! Rena is having difficulty, too, but that won't stop her from worrying about other people.]

...Yes. Naturally, I shall eat. It would be...rude, to not appreciate a meal given to us by our host, even such a terrible host as this...

[Clarine, you haven't eaten anything.]

Maybe Ivan-san would let me cook something if I asked. It wouldn't be what you're used to, but Rena would cook it with love! [A very important ingredient! Cheer up, Clarine.]

[That throws her for a loop; she blinks, eyes widening.]

...Pardon me? You wish to...cook for me?

[r-really....]

Sharing food is one way to become friends!

[The only reason Kashuu has anything like "hope" is because one of the missing faces is one he knows well this time, and he can't accept that so easily. So he looks over when she speaks up, brow furrowing briefly, and nods.]

Yeah, we'll get on it right away. [He's itching to start now, but...]

You gonna be okay?

Oh...Kashuu.

[She doesn't really know Horikawa well, but she recognizes that he's at least one of their group. It's not good, that he's missing.]

I am--fine, naturally. But what of you? And...your comrades?

If you were fine, you'd eat a little more.

[There's almost a scolding note underlying his tone, because apparently it's just his self-appointed duty to make sure no one starves themselves on murder island. As for her question:]

Horikawa's like, a real timely guy, so - we'll head out soon to look. [THAT DOESN'T ANSWER IT AT ALL but his expression probably gives away how concerned he is despite the evasiveness.]

[It really does say a lot, even if he didn't actually say much at all. She dismisses his comment about her eating habits (she'll get to it later, how is she supposed to do it now?) and nods seriously.]

... I do not wish to go out in that jungle, but he is one of your comrades. If you require more help, then... I shall offer my assistance as well.

[She's deathly afraid of finding another body, but she figures she owes Kashuu that much.]

[The offer seems to surprise him a little, considering he'd gotten the general impression that Clarine was definitely not keen on heading out with the search party.]

...Thanks. [It's a very kind gesture and he'll acknowledge it as such, but still:] You should probably take a break after yesterday, though.

[Stocking had been pretty harsh on everyone.]
