WEEK 6

[bathymetric]

Another week, another three lost - and this time all to one murder case. And that's to say nothing of the execution, or whatever went on with that ouija board that still sits in the library... strange things are afoot in the facility, and some of them not even your captor seems fully equipped to explain.

The other of the two doors in the main living area finally opens after another lost Saturday, and what lies beyond is... strange, to say the least. Looks like there's no shortage of changes, even in the architecture. It certainly seems like you should have gotten something like this before the water park at the very least, don't you think?

Angel's still out and about at night, if you want to be found. And who knows what else you might find if you're out alone? Apparently, you might have a ghost on your hands.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ooc: Welcome to Week 6! If you want Angel or to try your hand at the ouija, please make sure to note in your toplevel, same as an investigation! AC is over here, regains are here, and, well...

You've all got a new app on your devices! Use it wisely. ]

SUPPLY DROP

[bathymetric]

[ Today will find the infirmary stocked with more film plates for the x-ray machine, but no other items! ]

[Anna hasn't calmed down from yesterday. She may have tried, but she has not.

So you'll find her in the fitness room, beating up a punching bag; in the sewing room, drafting out a number of patterns (she can't possibly be making all those clothes); in the garden, staring (more like glaring) at a number of the flowers before grabbing a handful of these and ripping them up; and eventually going back to the sewing room, stealing one of the dressmaker's dummies, and dragging it to the art gallery, where she's whaling on it with an axe.

Eventually, she'll remember to eat, if by "eat" we mean "sit in the TV lounge stuffing her face with Snackoos and watching baseball on the TV." It's a bad day.]

[ Well, that's...that sure happened. He came in here and saw that.

Granted he's seen a bigger freakout (?) from her before, but still. ]

...The Professor's new incentive is still bothering you, isn't it?

[emberserker]

Do you think? There isn't a person in here who isn't bothered.

[archboxer]

[Rhea's going Area B when she hears the noise. Even if she's carrying something in her other arm she that noise puts her on alert. That sounds like an axe.

An axe. Edelgard. How did she get here? Her free hand is on her sword when she enters the museum. Oh. It's just Anna.

Wait. What?]

Why are you training in here? [Says the person who is carrying the memorial portrait of her dead brother.]

[emberserker]

[Anna whirls around, but stops herself when she registers it's Rhea at the door.]

Because nobody ever comes in here anymore. What's -- that's from those memorials, isn't it?

[gangrene]

[ how are you all on this fine wednesday?

brian is spending some time in the fitness room today, as per usual. he's just working with hand weights right now. he's been at it for a while, if you can tell by sweat pouring off him. it's proceeding normally until there's a loud SNAP

and the hand brian was using just. breaks off at the wrist. he stares at it for a moment ]

Huh, usually I can tell when they're about to break off.

[ after that, he can be found in the sewing room, detached hand on a table as he's trying to thread a needle one-handedly ]

Shit, this is hard...

[ maybe someone should give him a hand............ ]

Fitness Room

[ladygeryon]

Brian? [Nira's voice is definitely concerned, and she quickly turns off the treadmill she's using to turn and look at what happened.] Is...are you going to be okay? [She's coming over to get a better look anyways.]

[gangrene]

This shit happens.

[ just nonchalantly shrugs as he reaches down with his remaining hand and tries to pry the fingers off the weight ]

Sewing room

[bolderfell]

[Therion strolls in, nods at Brian, starts to head towards the back, and then does a double-take. UHH.]

Do you. Need some help there.

[EVERYONE IS FALLING APART.]

[gangrene]

Can you sew?

[ 100% serious here ]

fitness room

[thieviusraccoonus]

[Don't say 'need a hand?' don't say 'need a hand?' don't say-]

Need some... glue? Or a stapler for that?

[gangrene]

[ considers that for a moment ]

Never used staples before. Could probably last longer.

sewing room

[nothingcanstop]

[ ............oh my god ]

Your... Does this happen often?

[gangrene]

Pretty much yeah.

Comes with being a zombie.

[lovelikeyou]

[Yesterday was difficult for a lot of people, wasn't it?

But whatever happened with Rose's motive, she doesn't seem outwardly bothered. Not by much more than everybody else being upset, at least. With that in mind, she heads to the kitchen pretty early in the morning. Mira showed her a few baking tricks earlier in the week, and it seems like that ought to be just enough to make some pancakes for breakfast! She definitely knows people enjoy those!

Luckily, pancakes really aren't too difficult. It even occurs to her to put chocolate chips in them!]

Would you like some?

[She is delighted with herself!

Afterwards, she goes to the vending machine. Most of what she gets is nothing - a couple buckets of bricks, a box of chocolates. Then, three large, semi-transparent panels of some bright pink material come out.

Rose kneels in front of the machine, shuffling through the panels for a moment. Then, clutching them to her chest, she stands and starts to hurry back towards her room.]

kitchen

[thieviusraccoonus]

Far be it from me to pass up the offer of a free breakfast.

[Ha. He quips, but the energy isn't quite there. Maybe it's the early time of the day, or maybe it's Everything That Happened Yesterday.

But hey, Sly grabs a plate.]

How're you holding up?

[lovelikeyou]

Oh, I'm alright. How about you?

[She doesn't seem entirely alright, but not really much more than normal.]

kitchen

[philoxenia]

Oh, wow, they smell wonderful.

[ She's so happy Rose has really taken to it! ]

You added chocolate chips, too!

[lovelikeyou]

I did! They're like big chocolate chip cookies now!

[They're all kinda misshapen and weird, but they taste fine! Not too much to screw up here!]

vending machine

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della's on the way out to the dining hall. She's about to greet Rose when she sees her face as she turns. With one step back, Della raises her hands to try and slow her down. ]

H-hey...! Rose, what's wrong?

[lovelikeyou]

Oh! Nothing! Why?

[Rose realizes she should not have added that last question, she just sorta couldn't help it.]

[bolderfell]

[Therion spends most of the day buzzing with silent intensity in Area A, trying to get the attention of anyone who passes by and beckoning them to the restrooms so he can tell them about his spooky encounter. Here are the important points so we can handwave the conversation if you want:

- Ghostworth: not a real ghost, according to Red Text!
- Red Text: A ghost, actually.
- Ghostworth was the one who helped Nova with the chainsaw.
- Red Text can talk through the spirit board, but the connection doesn't always last that long.

Between dinner and lights out, he makes his way to the memorials in the cartography exhibit. He places a bottle of chocolate liqueur from the bar by Ema's memorial and a strange newspaper at Shelley's, then stands back to really take in how much--how many--they've lost.]

memorial

[archboxer]

[All of the memorials are here! Though, one looks like it's seen better days... oh and I guess there's a pope here, too.

She glances at the newspaper.]

That is ... strange.
