unknownseas | WEEK 4

Another trial, another week, and still you're probably running lower on answers than you'd like. And on people - you lost three since last Sunday. By the end of this week, you'll have been here for nearly a full month, yet still the days crawl on.

You wake up Sunday, again with no memory of Saturday, but this time with a simple message on your devices: You may resume requesting items, if you like. Enjoy. Guess it really was just a stealth motive after all, but at least it's being communicated that it's over! That's something, at least.

And when you leave your rooms on Sunday, there's another new area to explore! This one is... certainly more ambitious in its construction than the last one, to say the least. But hey, you have a pretty neat place to host parties, if you feel so inclined! That's... fun...

Hey, you gotta find the fun in situations like this where you can! Silver linings, right?

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 4! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! ]

[Ah. Therion stirs restlessly. He didn't want to talk about this--mostly because he hardly understands what happened, exactly, even though he was there--but. Yeah. Maybe it's an important comparison to draw.]

I've seen something like it, once.

[He tugs at his scarf, but doesn't write anything down. Not information he needs to hide from the Professor, then.]

I was helping a scholar track down people who'd gone missing. Turns out some madman was draining them of their blood to make... crystals out of it.

I've heard of blood magic, but what? Did they look like this?

Kind of. They weren't purple. They had a few different shades of red in them, so Cyrus--the scholar I mentioned--figured they were made out of multiple victims' blood.

[It was an alarmingly Fullmetal Alchemist tableau.]

But even he wasn't sure what the guy meant to use them for. Nothing good, obviously.
