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. ]

Might be better if you don't. Even if you think you know what might be in there.

[Rose folds her arms, leaning against the side of the tank. It's funny, talking to him when he's above her like that.]

Jasper already told me some things. She's from fifteen years in my future - if we aren't from parallel universes or something.

[That's an idea Rin floated to her. Rose would certainly prefer that, but...she sort of doesn't think she can rely on it.]

But now that I know, I can go back and make things different already. Try to stop things before they happen. So...I don't need to look. Even if it's something different, it might not happen anyway, right? [.....] We could all try to change what it said, now that we know.

[Although, of course, she does know that some things can't really be avoided through one person's actions.]

[fivestagegod]

I know.

[He shrugs a bit.]

Even if I change what happens, it's...

[...]

I don't know. It's not going to end well, either way.

[lovelikeyou]

.....is it anything you could get help with?

[fivestagegod]

[......]

I was dying. Before I came here. That's the last thing I remember.

The thing in the envelope is worse than that. So letting myself die is the good option.

[It's all said calmly, evenly. That weird blankness is still there.]

[lovelikeyou]

[..............uh.

Well, that's a lot of upsetting info in a few sentences! Worse still, given some of their recent conversations, Rose can imagine perfectly well what the other option might be. She doesn't know many details about the human corruption from his world, but hasn't she always said it was so much crueler than just shattering?]

I - I'm sorry. [...] Maybe - maybe if we get out of here, and our powers come back, I could heal you! I could heal everybody in your world! It's worked on sick humans before!

[fivestagegod]

[...Mm.]

The whole world, huh.

[He's quiet for a moment; just...considering, maybe.]

I'm not going to ask you to do that, but if it's something you really want...I don't know.

We'll see if it's something you still want at the end of all of this.

[lovelikeyou]

I don't know why I wouldn't.

[What's going to make her stop wanting to heal people?]

It'd be a lot of crying, but I - I've always been good at that.

[fivestagegod]

...You don't have to worry about the whole world, anyway. Just a city for the time being. To our knowledge.

[...Anyway.]

It's good of you to offer.

[lovelikeyou]

Of course. I'd be glad if I could help.

[fat lot of good she's done here, after all]

Is there anything I can do here?

[fivestagegod]

...I don't know. Like what?

[lovelikeyou]

I don't know. Anything you need...?

[fivestagegod]

...I appreciate the offer. I'll let you know if I come up with something, okay?

[lovelikeyou]

Okay. Just take care of yourself.

[fivestagegod]

I will.

[...]

I meant what I said before. Nothing's going to happen to me, okay?

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose just smiles a little.]

Okay. I believe you. [...] Do you want me to stay here for a little while?

[fivestagegod]

...Yeah. I'd actually really appreciate that.

[lovelikeyou]

Okay.

[She'll stay, then. For a little while longer.]
