Day 15

[There are really only two important things to note about Day 15:

One, your tablet informs you that there's a killing night tonight! Tonight we're back to normal; only one murder, please!

And two, there is shitty prepackaged deli sushi in kitchen. So uh, y'know. Enjoy that.]

[good because neither do I. kaiba does some sort of appropriate response]

If someone successfully partnered with a new person every night until now, they should only have two more to go. If they're allowed to matriculate out...that will also take the numbers down.

[glossing over the dead guys along the way but]

[Akira's response is also appropriate, albeit probably not the most efficient move to make, as he is still a novice]

[but he nods, agreeing with Kaiba's numbers]

And I doubt anyone who managed to make six friends is going to stick around for longer than necessary. So. . .

Three more nights.

[he breathes out those words, like. . . he's seeing the actual ending to this game for the very first time in two weeks]

The hardest and longest part of any project is when you can start seeing the end. Don't get careless.

[tilts his head up and flashes Kaiba a confident grin]

Do I seem like the kind of guy who lets down his guard in the final stretch?

Not particularly. But that doesn't mean that things aren't going to ramp up in preparation for that.

...Also, you've activated my trap card.

[oh snap? whatever it was akira's monsters were doing, they're not doing that anymore??]

What the-- damn.

[THEY SURE AREN'T DOING THAT ANYMORE. he curses, and then draws another card, to do some other things to try and counter that trap??]

I've survived this long. I'm absolutely not about to give up now.

[Hm, those things actually countered pretty well, not bad. Kaiba uses some other cards instead and then ends his turn.]

You'd better not. Someone has to be able to make it out of here who can do something about it later.

[HA HA. Akira's laying down some trap cards of his own now. fight that, Seto Kaiba]

You mean find whoever is responsible for this and kick their ass ten ways to next Sunday?

[a snort]

I might be interested in doing that when this is all over.

[he could, but instead he puts some monsters in defense position, since I'm pretty sure that's a thing]

I'm sure plenty of people "might" be interested, but you seem the type who could work out how to make it happen.

[oh snap, how smart. Akira prepares for an offense! in some. manner]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[truly, he looks kind of sheepish and pleased to hear that, too]

I have always been the type who bang my head stubbornly against a wall until it gives way.

[hmm, that could be tricky. Kaiba draws a card, but only one]

So long as it's the wall that gives way and not your head, I guess you can't say the technique doesn't work.

[does some more. . . card things. there's probably an opening for Kaiba to strike there, somewhere]

Exactly. Sheer stubbornness and determination has taken me far before.

I'd certainly say it's at least 50 percent of success.

[striking, wiping out one of Akira's monsters and even attacking his life points directly, because the best thing you can do for a beginner is destroy them]
