week two, sunday.

[requiemed]

[After the trial yesterday, between checking in with the people she's grown close with here, she went to visit someone with more authority. Something they mentioned to her has been rattling around in her head ever since, and when she happens to wander into the kitchen and see Ray... It comes as a relief.]

...Oh, hey. I'm glad I bumped into you.

[selfimmolates]

[?]

What's up?

[requiemed]

Have you noticed anything, like... Anything weird about any place in the temple?

[Zoe, that's so vague!!]

[selfimmolates]

Could you... be more specific?

[requiemed]

[She shrugs lightly, continuing on.]

Ambition told me there's, like, an entire other half of the temple that we could get to if we try hard enough... And she mentioned that doesn't include the new wings that get added every week.

[selfimmolates]

... Hidden rooms, huh? Makes sense, when you consider Cunning's Think Outside the Lock power...

[requiemed]

Yeah, but she specified that it wasn't just Cunning's followers that could get in there. So... I was wondering if you'd seen anything that might be a secret entrance to somewhere.

[selfimmolates]

Nope. I do know that a few people were planning on going on a "field trip", but I haven't heard the results of that yet or if it has anything to do with that.

[requiemed]

...A field trip? To where?

[selfimmolates]

I don't know any of the details yet.

[requiemed]

Not even who's going?

[selfimmolates]

... I know who, but I don't know if they'd want me telling people that without permission. Sorry.

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

No, it's okay. Just... Do you trust them to be safe?

[selfimmolates]

Not at all.

[requiemed]

Wow. I feel so much better about whatever's about to happen now.

[selfimmolates]

It's okay. I get the feeling they already did it and they're not dead, so.

[requiemed]

At least there's that.

[smh]

I get the feeling Ambition might let a little more slip about how to find the other half if someone else went to talk to her... She said she wouldn't tell me any more until I finished the task she gave me.

[selfimmolates]

What's the task?

[requiemed]

She wants me to make someone switch to her faction, but they don't have to stay there for longer than a week.

[She sighs.]

But I don't know how I feel about that.

[selfimmolates]

[hmm.]

Well, there are worse gods to switch to... but there are also easier gods to convince people to switch to.

[requiemed]

Yeah. If you have any ideas about who might go for it if I asked? I was thinking about Connor.

[selfimmolates]

Connor, huh? I haven't spoken to him too often, so I can't say much about him.

[requiemed]

He seems like he really wants to be helpful, and... I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who might agree.

[selfimmolates]

It might work. Just be careful.

[requiemed]

[A small smile.]

I don't think he's anyone I need to be worried about. But... Thanks.
