week zero

When you first wake up in your room, an announcement will play on the television.

You’ll be spending your first week before the game officially starts at a vast facility that has been completely submerged underwater. This facility consists of a central hub surrounded by four smaller spherical buildings. You can get to each subsection by either taking a shuttle or walking across a long glass tunnel.

What... do you mean by that?

[ Through a mouthful of cake: ] I can't die. [ When he says this, it's without any expectation that she will believe him. No one ever does and he's used to it. ]

[onewith]

You shouldn't talk with your mouth full.

[...that's the problem here?? That's the problem here, apparently. If Mayu had only just entered All Gods' Village she might have had a harder time believing it, but...] That gives you an advantage in a game like this, doesn't it... so you're going to be the winner?

[chronic]

Oh, sorry.

[ He finishes eating, then- hold on. ]

Wait, you believe me?

[onewith]

You believed me.

[Fair's fair.]

[chronic]

Just like that? You believe me? Jesus.

[ This has never happened before. He doesn't know what to do with this information. ]

[onewith]

You don't seem like you're lying... [Not to mention, saying "I can't die" in a situation like this is just begging to have someone reply with "Prove it" to goad them into offing themselves and taking down the competition early. It doesn't make sense.] I didn't believe in ghosts, before. Then I was spirited away by them. And so many other strange things have happened since then... what's one more?

[chronic]

I guess.

...and for your other question, I don't know if it would make me win. It'd probably disqualify me. Every time I die, I'm always taken back home. [ He shrugs. ] And this place is pretty far from home.

[onewith]

But, if they brought you here... they must have known. [Her brow furrows.] They can't disqualify you for something they knew about already... can they?

[chronic]

[ He laughs nervously. ] ...uh... I hadn't thought about that.

[ But there's no way they could've taken his immortality from him. Is there? ]

[onewith]

Don't worry. [She studies him for a moment or two.] You're so small... I doubt anyone here has it in them to try to kill a child.

[well

other than her, anyway

she will absolutely kill a small child if it's to get back to mio]

[chronic]

[ There are worse ways to go than by a cute girl. And he's been murdered by a handful of cute girls in his life. They have been some of the more tolerable deaths. ]

I bet they do. But we'll see.

[onewith]

...

I'm sorry. [She looks down.] I was... supposed to be telling you a ghost story.

[How had it gotten so off-topic? Oh, right. She'd started talking about her sister.]

[chronic]

Haha. It's okay. Everyone's got to face reality.

[onewith]

[Reality, huh.]

You mean... that most of us are never going to go home again?

[AGAIN WITH THE CREEPY DEPRESSING SHIT, MAYU.]
