( PROPHETS - WEEK 3 )

[abhoth]

On Sunday night, as soon as the grandfather clocks mark 6:00, a voice will speak to you. The tone may vary from person to person, the voice's pitch shifting and changing to suit her facilitators's needs — but the words will remain the same. Similarly for all those who can hear it, they'll suddenly find themselves captivated by it. "Come now, little ones. It's time to partake." And just like that, you find yourself drawn towards the nearest mirrored surface on the wall, somehow managing to avoid calling the attention of anyone who might be in the room with you. Though this is your first time participating in the ritual, knowledge still floods your mind. A light press of your hand against the mirror, and you will find yourself capable of stepping through the previously solid surface and into the shrine room. Here, you find yourself accompanied by two (2) other individuals. And though your handler can't be physically among you, you still feel her presence enveloping you and saturating the air in this room. Glance up, and through the glass ceiling you'll be able to see her in all her glory. It seems it's time for this week's sacrifice to be chosen.

[disinterested]

Oh? Sounds interesting. I'm not much of a "partner" person by experience, but it's nice to have a change of pace once in a while.

[shoelickingshit]

Yep! I was a part of a 3-man combat unit and you know, having more than one person comes in handy sometimes. It gets the job done waaay faster.

[ and if there's something Tsurugi likes is doing things the fast and easy way. ]

[disinterested]

We'll see next week, then—assuming we're both still alive.

[shoelickingshit]

I guess we'll see what we have in store for us! Certain people are still suuuper suspicious of me, what a bummer.

[disinterested]

Well, you could always kill Knoll—I assume you mean him. Might want to wait for a while, though.

[shoelickingshit]

Haha, that's a good idea! Just before I had to come here, he did try to get another look at my wounds again-- thankfully Yuki-chan cleaned them and re-bandaged them after the trial sooo~... He couldn't really get a look at them.

[ Boy, oh boy. ]

I think I'm becoming more popular.

[disinterested]

Yukina? How kind of her. Though she really should've known better, what with you being a suspected murderer.

[That naivety's going to get her killed?? ... It almost did this week???]

How does popularity feel?

[shoelickingshit]

She's tried to offer me jewels to answer questions and help her out too? She asked me if I had anything to do with Hibiki-chan's murder buuut... Considering how this job is the better pay, I said no!

[ if he can at least lie his ass through these conversations maybe people will stop being so suspicious of him...? honestly, if momster wasn't giving him a sweet pay, he'd probably confess immediately? ]

It's kind of nice though! Even if they want to have me dead.

[disinterested]

I'll admit that I was a little amused when people tried to bribe you for answers.

[Because yeaaaah, whatever the Unclean's giving Tsurugi, these people probably couldn't hope to match.]

Well, can't be too picky about what kind of popularity you have in a place like this.

[shoelickingshit]

Right?

[ plot twist: tsurugi doesn't care about money. ]

Buuut as long as they believe I'm telling the truth because they're trying to give me money... then I think I'll be safe! So here's hoping the next trial will be just fine.

[disinterested]

[Girge would be pretty surprised if Tsurugi actually sold his soul for cash, tbh.]

Yes, here's hoping everyone truly thinks you're that shallow.
