WEEK 7

[bathymetric]

Another Saturday gone and just like that you wake on Sunday, down five of your number. The largest dent taken out of you at once so far - it's surely noticeable, the head count being cut by a third. Almost enough to make you wonder how many of you will even be left by the next motive or two. Surely this isn't a sustainable rate for body counts to increase... right?

There's a new and, it looks like, final wing of the building to explore, bringing everything full circle. Maybe you'll get some more answers to some of the questions and mysteries of this place there - or at least, you can certainly hope for them. Time to turn your investigative eyes towards one last batch of rooms, who knows what you might find?

Angel remains around at night, her appearances much more common now that... well, she's certainly seen a downtick in necessary surveillance work, hasn't she? The app giving you a line to The Professor remains open, and well... whatever's going on with that ouija in the library continues to happen! You're not suffering from a shortage of leads, at least, even as things get more bizarre.

Something's going to have to give here, eventually. Right?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to your last player case week! AC is over here, regains as always are over here, and... well, enjoy! After this we get to take our big turn towards the Serious. ]

[ Alright! So the statues themselves aren't too weird - especially here they're mostly replicas of famous statues rendered in similar materials.

That said, it looks like there might be something in the middle of the island? ]

[valentinus]

[ Let's head to the middle! What's the weird going on here? ]

[bathymetric]

[ It doesn't take the clambering it usually would with the David out of the way and otherwise occupied (so in a wild way this piece of evidence is made possible by Zelos), but there's a small cleared area in the middle of the statues, and in the middle of it someone has laid out some blankets and pillows. By the look of the dust on them, they've been here for a while. ]

[valentinus]

[ He wondered if this happened to do with mentions of previous people going through experiments (he paid close attention even if he had hardly anything to say during the meetings most of the time)

But he will look at these and kind of... begin to move them, just in case there was anything hidden underneath them or any such things. ]

[bathymetric]

[ There's a few candy wrappers, a very stale half-full bag of gummy fish from the machine, and... a small book of fairy tales under it! ]

[valentinus]

[ He'll pick up the book of fairy tales. He'll thumb slowly through the pages...anything of interest or relevance that may catch his eye? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Not in particular, but since it's a paperback you can tell it's been well-read. ]

[valentinus]

[ Hmm, okay, he'll be taking a lot of stuff with him it seems when he's done. But first, now that he's over here...will there be something of interest hanging out over by the ring? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Nira grabbed one of the major things out here, but inspection will reveal something carved into the side of one of the pedestals. ]

[valentinus]

[ Okay. Let's take a look into what's carved here? ]

[bathymetric]

[ It looks like tally marks - three of them, to be exact. And a message that says We miss you.

If you look at the front of the pedestal, it's been recently sand-blasted - the polish doesn't match up at all. ]

[valentinus]

[ That's...interesting. He had some thoughts on the reason for the tally marks.

He'll fiddle with the blackberry-like thing for a bit but decide to put it back away.

He'll then lightly touch the front of the pedestal where it had been sand-blasted. If he lightly scratched at it with his metal claw would it like...reveal anything? He's just being thorough here even if it's just you know, sand-blasted recently because of Things. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Nah, it just looks like it was done in a hurry. There's also a few disturbances in the ground - looks like there were some objects here at one point but they're gone now.

That's all for this room! ]
