WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

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! ]

[Anna's still keeping the matryoshka dolls, but she hauls in two marionettes and dumps them right at the feet of the Monstrosity.]

I don't know whether to call this a donation to the cause or enabling.

[fivestagegod]

Well, I'm going to call it appreciated, though honestly? At this point you're probably right on both counts.

[emberserker]

Is this boredom or are you hoping to scare someone?

[fivestagegod]

Equal parts boredom and frustration. Both things that are better taken out on things that won't care what I do to them, in the end.

[emberserker]

In the absence of the right target, probably. Honestly, this mystery of his gets more frustrating every day.

[fivestagegod]

I can't really argue with that much, honestly.

[...]

So can I ask you something that's probably going to piss you off?

[emberserker]

[So... anything whatsoever?]

Why, what is it?

[fivestagegod]

[LOOK, HE WAS TRYING NOT TO SAY IT...]

How much did you complain about me to Aela?

[emberserker]

What? Where did that come from?

[fivestagegod]

She left me a letter after she died, and among other things it told me to stop hassling you.

[Something like that, anyway.]

As a result, I have been trying to hassle you less. But it's been a couple of weeks, and I want to know.

[emberserker]

[sigh.]

I may have done it once or twice, but only because of what you were going on about before. Biding one's time rather than work to escape and all that. Of course, now we know spending decades in here isn't in the Professor's plan either.

[fivestagegod]

I never thought it was. The fact that Angel's here at all tipped me off pretty fast to the notion that this wasn't going to go on indefinitely, like he said it would.

[emberserker]

What, you don't think he'd leave her to rot? Or do you suppose he considers her valuable equipment?
