blood match day two



open arena

23 players remaining

Once dawn breaks around 6 AM, the weather effects from the night before fade as well. Today the sun is shining, and the temperature is hot and muggy, but the air is still and there isn't a cloud in the sky.

If you return to zone zero, you'll note that most of the supplies have been cleared, though there still appear to be crates inside the hut on the beach.

(OOC: When starting a thread, please put in your header the following: ZONE # - TIME - AREA. This will hopefully make it easier for everyone to keep track of which character is where.

Please remember to update the Weekly Check-in with your character's planned movements.

Please expect another arena event around nightfall.)

[She waves a hand a bit]

Ah, it's just a hunch. My luck's never that good, unless I'm playing cards.

Or if you wanted to know what the changes were? Her hair turned bright white, and her eyes were red, like the color of blood almost. She was faster too, I think it healed her bad leg on top of the injuries I gave her. But faster than I would have expected, even then.

[....and then it occurs to her that Souji hasn't made any comment on the fact that she's openly admitted to trying to kill Mayu. Perhaps it's just how he is, or his world. But Harriet, not so long ago, would have been shocked if the tables were turned. How innocence fades.

Anyway, where was she. She was in the middle of an explanation.]

...Uhh, she was probably stronger too? And definitely gone mad. More than before, amazingly. I think she was trying to eat me.

[which sounds like a joke, but for once, it actually kind of isn't. It was pretty disturbing.]

[creatic]

[ it does seem he has played down his personality and his business to these people, which if he found out, would be rather intriguing to him.

Souji has little remorse for those he isn't loyal to and if Mayu is actively killing to get back home, then even less reason for him to care if this girl does the same to her. Besides, they look around the same age, so it's probably even fiercer than one would naturally suspect.

Harriet did also mention revenge.

As he listens, Souji's demeanor grows darker, although there is a clearer sense of surprise along with it the more she lists. That does all add up and sound uncanny to ochimizu, but how and where would she have gotten that?

...Trying to eat her, huh? ]

Drink your blood? Did you see what this potion looked like? Red?

[whiterosefoes]

[If he's a fan of revenge, they'll get along just fine.

His reactions aren't entirely out of place, for someone hearing what Harriet's saying for the first time. It was just as surprising for her that Mayu had such a thing as her trump card. The questions, however, are getting a bit specific. And they're right on the mark, which is curious. Has he seen these bottles before?]

How did you know?

[creatic]

[ Souji breathes in before exhaling harshly through his nose as if trying to keep his composure as he considers everything.

Finally, he seems to refocus on her in particular, having drifted for a few seconds. There's only one way to know for sure? ]

...Because it sounds exactly like something that is from my world. But, where...

[ normally he wold to be so easy to openly admit to this considering it's not supposed to be let out that the Shinsengumi had anything to do with it, but this is not really a situation where he can truly feel any threat from it in some far off random world in a game. ]

[whiterosefoes]

From your world?

[She stares a bit... clearly that was not the answer she was expecting, either, though it's somewhat reassuring that there isn't some secret trove of potions that only she was unaware of. As for where Mayu could have gotten something like that... she thinks about it, but there's nothing concrete. Her sponsors gave her nothing but misdirection, so she can't say for sure if it could have come from them or not.]

Dunno, mate. Other than that shack on the volcanic island, I haven't heard of any place to get more weapons, let alone ones from our worlds. I suppose it could've been that audience they spoke of, but... there seems to be a lot wrong with that.

[Why would the audience know what things from Souji's world are? Why would they give them to Mayu instead? It's rather puzzling. BUT, not ultimately what she cares about, so she moves on]

Ah, but if you're familiar with it, then... can you tell me what you know?
