WEEK 5

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY


[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! 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! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]
philoxenia: (but just give it time)

I'm not sure.

[ But she points to the graffiti. ]

... That says a lot, doesn't it?
archboxer: (3)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-03 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...There was a rebellion.

[She doesn't like that! Rebellion is bad but if it was against the Professor... eh. He can take it.]
philoxenia: (will i ever follow through?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-03 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah! Stick it to the man!!! ]

... Why not bother with cleaning this room up? Leaving it where we could find it?
archboxer: (3)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-03 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[As long as you don't stick it to her she's fine.]

As a warning.
philoxenia: (5)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
... I think that's a fair assessment. Either way, it's-- it's so unsettling. And I wonder if we'll find more rooms like this in the future...
archboxer: (4)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I believe that is the point... People like the Professor like warnings.
philoxenia: (well you could ring anybody's bell)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He didn't give Damien much of a warning, but-- Nevermind. ]

I think it's been given loud and clear. Painfully so.

[ She lets out a sigh. ]

I just wonder what happened to the item that was in that last case.
archboxer: (5)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[The rules said not to attack the staff. What did he think would have happened? But this isn't the time for that.]

Yes.

[There's a pause.]

Did you find something different there? There seems to be a few items left here but...
philoxenia: (of all the things i'll never do)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, actually...

[ And she looks pretty uncomfortable as she shows the assembled scraps of polaroid. ]

I think this is what was here, before... but it's gone.
archboxer: (5)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
[...Okay she has to say it:]

That is a disturbing mask. [But what's more strange is...] It is not just a picture of the mask but of it in the case? That is a bit, well.... strange is it not?
philoxenia: (all the time and energy.)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's awful.

[ Yeah, she's glad Rhea said it... ]

Maybe someone took it right before they took the mask?
archboxer: (4)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Utterly.

[Look, someone had to.]

Perhaps. Still... I could not fathom why.
philoxenia: (ain't it good to be on your own?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Neither could I....

[ She shakes her head and puts the pieces away. No more of that!! ]

A-anyway, it's such a strange collection of objects... shirts, what seems to be a paper lantern, and some sort of mask...
archboxer: (3)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Memories.

[That's what the banner said, didn't it?]

Memories never seem to make sense. Whoever was here before... these items meant something to them.
philoxenia: (through the streets and avenues)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
A way to taunt them, maybe...?
archboxer: (11)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
The way some of the items in the machine does?
philoxenia: (to bleed)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[ She touches her necklace. ]

... Several of the items I've gotten, or ones that others have gotten but which belong to me--they've certainly affected me more than I'd like to admit.
archboxer: (3)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
He put in a bouquet I laid out for Sitri when she passed over twenty years ago -- a bundle of dead flowers! He certainly chose items that could hurt.
philoxenia: (there's a fear that won't subside)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
A bouquet--

[ ..... ]

Every time I think he can't get worse.....
archboxer: (3)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
The other things of mine I could understand but... he is one of the worst humans I have ever met.
philoxenia: (have i only seen what i want to see?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
He's worse than even--

[ ... nope, we aren't going there! ]

Those things in the vending machine... they're just more ways for him to show how powerless we are.
archboxer: (4)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
This section must been just one more.
philoxenia: (well you could ring anybody's bell)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-04 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ mood. ]

... Should we get out of here? It's... unpleasant.
archboxer: (4)

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-05-04 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Beat.]

Almost as bad as the room with the remains. [The fossils. Fuck him.]
philoxenia: (will i ever follow through?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-07 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
The remains-- oh. The ah, the fossils.
