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. ]

Comments

[ As she said in her note, she's here with the spirit board! ... And an assembled nightstand, huh. We don't wanna put the board on the bathroom floor, after all. But she doesn't look thrilled at all; she actually seems pretty jumpy and overly wary but that's probably fine. ]

Whoever's behind the red text--they know my name, so I assume it's the same for everyone else.

[ Which is.... a little unnerving but. She sets up the table and board, then moves away. She's probably not the best person to ask questions right now, on account of not being able to focus well. ]

Ouija Time

[ladygeryon]

[Nira walks up and places a hand on the planchette.]

Hey...how many others are with you now? [Just making sure everyone made it over okay, considering the weird circumstances.]

[bathymetric]

[ It takes a moment, but the planchette does whir into action. ]

Y-O-U-M-I-S-U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D
I-A-M-N-O-T-W-I-T-H-Y-O-U-R-D-E-A-D

[ and for ease of access, further questions can be taken here ]

[bogwife]

So they're definitely watching us. [She's...not sure how to feel about that but if they're really trying to help she can live with it. While she wants to be close to Mira as she can be, she's staying a respectful few feet away with her arms securely crossed over her chest and her hands balled into fists.

She can't risk another accidental fireball (or worse) in here.]

[philoxenia]

[ Oh no, Zaza... ]

They are, yes. They know about these meetings, too.

[bogwife]

I just hope they're telling the truth about wanting to help us.

[If Mira can pick up on the feelings of individual people she's going to get a lot of worry worry worry CONCERN tiny little nugget of fear worry worry.]

[bolderfell]

[Eventually, in a quiet undertone, Therion leans over and asks:]

You all right?

[philoxenia]

[ She lets out a breath, and just as quietly-- ]

Things are a little... intense, with what the Professor's done. I don't like being able to feel so much.

[bolderfell]

[Oh. Right.]

If you need to go, I can... take notes, I guess. Bring them by later.

[philoxenia]

It's alright. I can sort of... block out the worst of it.

[ ... but she appreciates it, and she gives him a small, grateful smile. ]

Besides... whoever's going to be contacting us needs as many people here as possible. The more people there are, the stronger a connection, they think.

IM A GHOST AMA

[bathymetric]

[ whenever you do collectively decide to Do The Luigi, it starts moving with force. It seems excited! Or maybe angry. ]

B-E-F-O-R-E-I-E-X-P-L-A-I-N-P-L-A-N
Y-O-U-M-I-G-H-T-H-A-V-E-Q-U-E-S-T-I-O-N-S-?

[ladygeryon]

...who are you with, then?

[bathymetric]

Y-O-U

[ladygeryon]

So you're...tied to this facility? For how long?

[bolderfell]

Are you Subject Alpha or Beta?

[bathymetric]

NO

[bolderfell]

[Phooey.]

Do you know what happened to them?

[fivestagegod]

[So, this is fine.]

Why are you trying to help us, exactly? I know better than to assume it's for no reason.

[fivestagegod]

...You're going to have to understand that if you're actually dead right now, I'm a little skeptical of your ability to do that. To say nothing of the fact that for some reason you're not with ours.

[philoxenia]

[ ... actually, she's thought of something. ]

Those symbols--the black hexagon on some of the food in the kitchen, and the circle with the arch inside it.... Do you know what those mean?

[bathymetric]

I-T-W-A-S-O-N-A-L-O-T-O-F-T-H-I-N-G-S-B-E-F-O-R-E

[philoxenia]

[ ... That's fair. ]

Do you know how many weeks the last group lasted here?

P-R-O-P-O-S-I-T-I-O-N

[bathymetric]

[ Once the other questions die down a little, the ghost friend makes a general statement. ]

S-O

W-O-U-L-D-Y-O-U-L-I-K-E-T-O-F-I-G-H-T-T-O-O-?

[valentinus]

[ He's been always ready to fight the Professor. That said... ]

How would you plan for this to work, exactly?
