Mock Week

[sinphony]

[ After the day before, with the reveal of the full extent of the rules and how the game works along with their hosts, the only thing everyone could do was have a meeting with alcohol and go to bed. And when awakened, everything is the same. It's still the large mansion, they're still locked inside, and there's still the idea that they have the choice to murder each other hanging over them. But now the mansion is free to explore to their hearts' content, save for the room under the stairs outside the mud room. All anyone can really do is just enjoy their week and hope for the best. ]

[Uta frowns. He was also a bit late, in the normal way.]

I don't think I'm dead, but then again... I don't remember much and my hair is still too long.

[Maybe he really is dead. That would suck. He thought his bizarrely high healing factor would keep him alive, but...]

[pervet]

Yeah... there's discrepancies for all of us, isn't there? I want to discount it, but I'm not sure I can.

[scleramelani]

Hmm. Check my back?

[Without waiting for permission, Uta takes off his shirt. His back is tattooed, but otherwise free of scars.]

[pervet]

... It's a very attractive back.

[ FINGERGUNS! ]

But I'm not seeing any evidence of injury. No piercing of the epidermis or any signs of laceration or abrasions, not even a faint scratch. I think you're good.

[scleramelani]

Hmm.

[Sorry, but the (bloodstained) pants are staying on. He slides the shirt back over his head.]

I'm not easy to kill... If they didn't get me in the back, I doubt they did at all.

[pervet]

Good point. Maybe you were poisoned, then? Is that possible? ... No, your body would have obvious signs of it, unless they healed that off too. Poisons... give off very easily detectable smells or noticeable discoloration. So unless it was... I don't know, something unconventional...

[ He's just thinking to himself, but. ]

... You're probably right. Well, it was just a thought.

[scleramelani]

Poison... would be tricky.

[Ghouls regenerate. He in particular even regenerates lethal injuries. It'd take a lot to put him down.]

[pervet]

You immune?

[scleramelani]

No, just tougher than I look.

[If he had a fort/con save, it'd be +90.]

[pervet]

I guess we could probably rule it out either way, then. Unless you're allergic to something. Which, if you are, I wouldn't say here.

[scleramelani]

I guess you could say I am, but it's not lethal, either.

[He's intolerant to every food.]

[pervet]

Then you're probably fine. Unless they did some really weird magic to your heart or something. It's plausible, just... unlikely.

Congratulations on NOT being a dead guy!

[scleramelani]

No, no magic in my world, really.

[Uta smiles, just a little.]

Thanks...?

[Then he has a thought. If the people here are dead and from other worlds...

... Why'd they bring a living predator in?

His smile doesn't waver.]

[pervet]

How boring~

[ Although-- ]

But you have something analogous to demons, right?

[scleramelani]

Sort of. Ghouls. Though if rumors hold true, they're angels and demons both.

[pervet]

... How's THAT possible? You can't have both. One falls and becomes the other, or they're just created already as one.

[scleramelani]

It's complicated, but the experts say that ghouls can eat ghouls, and those that do tend to fall into madness. Additionally, there are many factions of ghouls. Those in 20th ward are more peaceful, while others are more violent. They fight amongst themselves.

[bearshercross]

Damn, you actually sound like a healer for once!

[ Yes, she is absolutely going to give him shit for being the most violent healer. ]

[pervet]

... Why is it so hard to believe I am one?! People always say that... you're so mean!

[ Waaaaaaaaaaah what did he do to deserve this. ]

[bearshercross]

Because you don't exactly hold life in a very high regard?

cw for... people-eating... i guess..... why does this keep happening

[pervet]

... What, that's a requirement for healing? I do my job! Do you even know how many half-eaten people I've had to grow limbs back for? Do you know how hard it is to regenerate someone's limbs?!

[bearshercross]

...Yeah, kinda!? You'd assume if you're healing you care about if they live or die!

[pervet]

[ He makes a "pssshshhsh" noise. ]

Um, no. You just have to know what you're doing and care about the fact that, if you fuck up, your Boss will be really mad.

[bearshercross]

...You're really fucked up. Your world is really fucked up.

[pervet]

Sheesh, you're so judgemental! It's not like I'm the only healer in the unit. There's Ciel. She was specifically created to have better bedside manner. I'm a Field Medic.

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

Bedside shit isn't my job, unless a literal mountain of people roll in and we need that many hands.
