WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

INTERNET | SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

Thank you...

[She puts down her work and holds up the bandage-ridden doll.]

...this is Zack. [He does, in fact, have a baby scythe. Because of course he does. But it's like. A piece of a popsicle stick painted black and part of a tin can.]

[conways_retribution]

Zack? _{[He pondered the rather simplistic name for such a person as that.]} Is he from your world then?

[fixingtodie]

[Rachel nods.]

Isaac Foster... but he preferred Zack. He's...

[There's still really no simple explanation for her relationship with Zack. "Friend" is nice, but-- it's pretty presumptuous. And it doesn't really fit just right.]

The person I have to get back to. No matter what.

[conways_retribution]

Isaac? _{[The realization hit him.]} Ohh...

Is he special at all? _{[I mean, mummy with a scythe, he's gotta be.]}

[fixingtodie]

[Mummy with a scythe. She has to think about it for a moment though. But there's a small smile on her face as she does.]

...you could say that.

He's a very strong person... fast too. But hitting things is his solution to everything. He's not very smart.

[WHAT A GLOWING REVIEW. But then. Her expression softens further.]

But... he also... forced me to smile again. And he swore to God that once I helped him escape, he'd grant my wish. To me... there's no one more special than Zack.

[conways_retribution]

_{[SOUND FAMILIAR JAKE?]}

Aw... He sounds like a nice boy.

[fixingtodie]

[Rachel nods. She thinks so too.]

And he hates liars more than anything.

So... I know he'll wait for me.

[conways_retribution]

A good an honest boy, too...

I never god to meet much honest folks in my life... about the only one who was never secretive to me was Tyrell...

[fixingtodie]

What was he like?

[conways_retribution]

He's big, buff, in the military and all that, but he isn't really intimidating once you talk to him. He's actually the one who gave me my weapons after I showed him my skills.

Sometimes I had to do favors for him, but he gave me things in return as well. I scratch his back, he scratches mine and all that.
