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. ]

...No offense, but do you really think we're not up for that at this point?

...That would make a lot of sense. [ giving someone. outside their location. which they now know. ]

Yeah, it sure was! [ SIR OR MADAM JESUS CHRIST

Okay. Okay, Della relaxes a bit. ] Fired, would he kill her after that? How would that help us? He'd just bring in the Failsafe, then.

How do you know he won't plan for that? Does he know the Failsafe remembers her?

[fivestagegod]

...If we end up needing her dead, the attempt won't seem out of place coming from me. That said, she seems to think that if we get her fired she'll just be replaced with someone worse.

Don't use euphemisms. Do we have to kill her, or just find someplace to put her that's out of the way?

Permanently, or temporarily?

[permanently is pretty long]

[bolderfell]

[Don't you DARE]

[mouflon]

[ ...oh boy, this is going to go over well ]

To be clear. Do you mean to actually kill her, or should we just tie her up and stuff her in a closet?

[ "Weaken," huh... ]

Hey, so what kind of infraction would get her fired? Because we know what she isn't allowed to talk about, and we know one of those things is you.

[ Hopefully someone can see where she's going with this. ]

[mouflon]

I'm just thinking. I found a way to access the report submission form from my device earlier, and I've already tried to send the Professor one insulting note that way.

[nothingcanstop]

Oh, absolutely.

[ bangs pots and pans TIME TO MAKE THINGS HARD FOR THE PROFESSOR ]

[ excellent ]
