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! ]

[ She did! Gotta be... prepared.......

Okay this is fine. This is fine!!! ]

Can you-- um. Who is this?

[bathymetric]

[Once again, it moves.]

[philoxenia]

"Friend".... Are you-- one of the people who died here, then? From our group?

[bathymetric]

NO

[archboxer]

[She's watching and:]

Then how could we trust you?

[Not friend? Die. Again.]

[philoxenia]

[ well..... it's fair ]

[bathymetric]

[The planchette moves... sort of in a circle. Like it's pondering how to answer that.]

[drladysounds]

Great! We do need help. Got any valuable info?

[archboxer]

Are you a ghost?

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della pops up: ]

Duckworth? That you, Duckworth? Huh? Huh???

[ like it's theoretically impossible but ]

[bathymetric]

L O L NO

[nothingcanstop]

Alright. Well. You know. Had to ask.

[drladysounds]

What are you seeing right now?

[Maybe this ghost is in the afterlife she knows! She wonders if it's the same than where she was once before]

[bathymetric]

E V E R Y T H I N G

[drladysounds]

The entire fabric of the universe?!

[That's a lot of everything]

[bogwife]

[A little voice that sounds suspiciously like her mother is screaming in her head that this is a terrible idea but-]

Do you have a name?

[bathymetric]

[There's a literal pause in the Planchette's movement.]

[philoxenia]

[ .... hm! ]

Were you in one of these experiments?

[hardnosed]

[ Anyway, Jasper chooses this exact moment to open the library door and stomp in. It's way too loud. ]

What are you all doing.

[nothingcanstop]

Talkin' to ghosts.

[ You know. As you do. ]

[hardnosed]

... Sure.

[ YOU KNOW WHAT...... ]

What are they saying?

[lovelikeyou]

[gasp! Rose is not at all bothered by this - honestly it may as well happen. Ghosts are real, she guesses?]

Oh, hello! My name's Rose.

[bathymetric]

[APPARENTLY!!!]

N I C E T O M E E T Y O U

[lovelikeyou]

It's nice to meet you too! I've never met a ghost before - this is very exciting.

[She'd ask your name, but, oh.]

Is there something else we could call you? We could give you a nickname, if you want!

[bathymetric]

YES
