WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

[ This shovel is going to be customized for Shin and Shin only, Hien will do what Shin wants with it. ]

Alright. Hand me the shovel and I'll work my magic.

[ But first, he swipes some thick gloves and a faceshield. ]

[undertakings]

[this shovel was made for him!!!

But okay, he'll let Hien have it and Shin will stand back since he sees that face shield and glove combo coming out. With that said, he will watch the whole process diligently because... well, you never know when you might need to use a bench grinder, or something.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is entirely focused when adjusting the shovel to how Shin wanted it, being careful so that he doesn't injure himself.

...

He eventually finishes and leans back. ]

Phew.

[ After brushing off the debris, he hands the shovel to Shin. ]

Here you go. A pointy shovel. Who'd you kill with this thing anyway?

[undertakings]

[He'll take it back with a quiet "thanks", inspecting the edge visually before looking back at Hien.]

Anything they decide to send at us, I guess. I never really believed that they would just send everyone back peacefully after they were done with this experiment.

[Maybe it would be pointless considering they could debilitate them through the marks, but having some kind of weapon to use would still be better than nothing.]

[selfconcept]

[ He nods. Having weapon as a security blanket feels nice too. He won't doubt that. Shin's emotional support shovel... ]

Because we dunno what happened to the predecessors?

[undertakings]

[His new best friend now that Fido isn't here anymore...!!]

Because it'd be easier to just dispose of us. If they deliberately selected individuals from other worlds to use as test subjects, there's no reason to think that they would care about us enough to use their resources to send us back. But keeping us around in this world would likely be more trouble than it's worth, especially if they've exhausted their use for us.

[selfconcept]

Or we can give them a reason to send us back. We can give them a situation that would prove to exhaust resources at a worse rate if we don't get sent back.

[ In some sort of twisted hostage situation. ]
