Week 4

[lockdownmods]

[ It's now Week 4 at Fayflower University. With the new week comes another memory, and a new floor to explore. That's nice, after everything, right? Right, of course it is.

However, other things have changed besides the floor access. The wall has always been a point of contention after the fiasco in week one. And then the frog, and now the investigation. However, going within three feet of the wall is oppressive now, in feeling. It feels as though you're being watched-- and targeted for something.

A lot of speculation... Is it even clear that it was one man? It could've been that many took on the name, isn't that right?

[covertizer]

Could be.

He has a definitive ending though: a lot of accounts agree he was publicly executed, but they can't agree on how, sort of.

[throwabookatit]

I know older stories have their deviations...but to be that lost...

[covertizer]

Almost impressive, isn't it? But I guess that's the line between historical figure and urban legend.

[throwabookatit]

True... I wouldn't be much of a history teacher, if I couldn't spot that. But, for some, it's a little more muddy than others.

[covertizer]

And Ishikawa Goemon is swimming in mud.

...

Or oil, as the case was.

[throwabookatit]

...

Please don't tell me...

[covertizer]

[ He just shrugs at her. ]

Don't tell you what?

[throwabookatit]

One of the ways he might've been killed. It wasn't...oil, was it...?

[covertizer]

That's the one thing they all agree on. It's just the circumstances of it, and what happened during that I've seen different accounts of.

[ Or, uh. Read about on the train after Yusuke joined them. ]

[throwabookatit]

[ She shivers. ]

The part of history I don't like...how barbaric it could be.

[covertizer]

It's a bit... intense, yeah. They couldn't just throw someone in prison, it was all public executions and shaming.

[throwabookatit]

...Kind of like here, isn't it?

[covertizer]

... Do we count it as shaming, or just cruelty?

[throwabookatit]

I'd say both.

[covertizer]

[ Eeeeeeeeeeeh. ]

Somehow that feels worse.

[throwabookatit]

Worse, but true.

[covertizer]

I think the only way to spite them now is to keep living.

...

But on the other side, that's what they want. [ Ugggggggggggggggggh. ]

[throwabookatit]

To hell with what they want, I'm living because I want to.

[covertizer]

Might as well annoy some people who deserve it in the process.
