MINGLE LOG | WEEK 1
Premise | Rooming | Full Nav

Greetings, house guests. You must be a little more familiar with how things work around here now. There is no escape.

One thing does seem to have changed: characters can now freely investigate the now unlocked Crypt.

On Sunday, nothing much at all happens. Better take the time to rest, recuperate, and decide your next steps. Maybe you have people you want to talk to after that … shit show? Now’s the time: unload those feelings.

Alternatively, with the pantry open with plenty of food available, why not wander into the kitchen for a snack and a chat with whoever is there?

(Don't forget to check out the post-trial afterparty!)

Come Monday, everyone will make up to a most unpleasant surprise: their motive for the week.

Unfortunately for those characters with questions about the motive, Pratibha is nowhere to be found afterwards. Additionally, all the profile entries for Leona, Phoenix, and Yoojin have changed. It’s a fairly clear indicator that they are dead. Enjoy this useful information!

On Tuesday, there are two noticeable changes. The first is that there is a new puzzle. The second thing? Pratibha’s presence. She's finally back. Why was she missing on Sunday and Monday? Why does she seem so … out of it? She’s all curled up in the laundry room this time, intermittently snoozing in the little nook off to one side.

On Wednesday, Pratibha is gone again. And so, unfortunately, is one of your own. What happened? Who is it? All subsequent headers, including Wednesday's, will be frozen until a Wednesday event can take place. We will announce to the playerbase once Wednesday's thread is live for you to investigate!

Thursday brings a very specific change: after 9 PM, no one get into, or out of, your rooms. Plan wisely. You may get stuck in the halls, which might be fine … except we know what happened last Thursday night.

Thursday also brings with it another new puzzle.

Friday is investigation time The investigation post will go live at 3 PM EST, 5/9.

Saturday is the day of your “first” real ritual. You may find the ritual post here at 12 PM EST, 5/10.

[selfreliar]

Your usual vice?

[It begs the question.]

[windmilled]

Cigarettes.

[Out from his pocket comes his lighter, spinning it between his ringed fingers as he comes to sit on the bench by Aqua.

He heaves a heavy sigh, then winces at the pain that lances through the scar on his back.]

I haven't had a smoke since, well. What I thought was my last.

[selfreliar]

[Opens his mouth. Closes it. Closes his eyes. Opens them again with a sigh.]

The effort it just took me not to say, "Those things will kill you"...

[Someone give him a gold star.]

Have you asked Pratibha if you can get some? She gave Dr. Octavius a welding torch.

[windmilled]

[Luis snorts.]

You know, Leon said the same thing when we met.

[He clicks his lighter on, then snaps it shut.]

I considered it. But, I also thought that I'd made it through the worst of the symptoms already.

[selfreliar]

...Thought, past tense.

[windmilled]

Yes.

It's been worse since this morning than it ever was last week. Although I think maybe last week I still had bigger problems to distract me.

[selfreliar]

...I kind of get what you mean. Not that I smoke, but... yeah.

[That good old "almost died" haze made it too hard to dwell on things he'd rather not think about.]

Guess I've recovered enough for events here to really sink in.
