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. ]

...Literally could not lie, or had a really bad poker face?

[archboxer]

More the second. She tried, poor thing, but she was too sincere for it to be believable.

[nothingcanstop]

Not a thing I could say about any of my boys... They're troublemakers. All of them.

[archboxer]

You say that with such pride.

[nothingcanstop]

...Yeah. Yeah, well... I wouldn't have them any other way.

[archboxer]

...I am sure they love you for that. [Just a pang.]

[nothingcanstop]

I mean... I'm still learning how to discipline them. I can't let them just...run wild. Even if they're my perfect little boys, they... Sometimes they get carried away.

[archboxer]

Of course. It is a delicate balance but I am sure you'll find it.

[You'll?]

[nothingcanstop]

[ ...she thinks nothing of it. she'll reflect on it later. ]

I mean... It's a learning process. When I first jumped back into their lives, I...I just tried to push, to make up for...for ten years of missed everything. But...as Uncle Scrooge said, you can't force a relationship with your kids. [ ...through monster fighting and treasure hunting. but also, just in general. ] Just having kids doesn't make you a mom. You have to learn how.

[archboxer]

[Surely it's not important.]

No, you certainly can't force a relationship with anyone. It has to take time and effort but pushing it too far will only turn them away. [Not. Like she knows anything about that or anything.] In the end, they make the decision.

[nothingcanstop]

...Sorry. I meant to...give you an outlet, and I just started talking about my boys again.

[archboxer]

Is that not natural, to wish to talk about them?

[nothingcanstop]

It is. ...They're all I lived for, for so long... [ Della clears her throat- ] B-but I still...want to give you the opportunity to. You know.
