MINGLE LOG | WEEK 3
Locations | Rooming | Full Nav

Another week gone, and with it, two of your number. Nine of you--or ten, depending on whom you count as yours--are dead. And still, there is no escape.


Pratibha won't turn up on her own this week, but you may be able to reach her if you try. For some reason, she seems particularly scarce every day but Thursday.


Sunday arrives this time with no mysteriously provided gifts, but if you gather together anyway, perhaps you'll find your spirits lifted by a sense of presence?

[cw: hallucinations]
On Monday morning, the house's next attempt to force you all to murder is not necessarily immediately apparent. As the day creeps on, you might catch a flicker of something from the corner of your eye, or hear a murmur when you're sure you're alone. Maybe Anemone was right to worry about losing your minds.

((Mod note: If you don't want to play with this particular motive, let us know! Like Week 1's blot motive, we've provided temporary IC outs in the motive announcement under Monday's header, and you should ALWAYS choose OOCly not to engage with something that isn't right for you, for whatever reason.))

Whatever your mental state, the house's dread ritual continues on. Those solving Tuesday's puzzle will actually find they have a couple days to complete it; once they find all the clues, they're welcome to ask their fellow living housemates for help actually making use of them. Solving the puzzle completely earns you the key to an indoor pool, though the stiff cover over the jacuzzi remains locked tight.

Pool party on Wednesday, anyone? No? It's fine; the day is yours to do with what you will.

Starting Thursday's puzzle requires that all parts of Tuesday's be completed, and once you're done, you can have yourselves a cozy, lovely dinner party. If you're up to it, anyway. If not, you'll also have the key to that jacuzzi, so soak those troubles away with hot water and jets.

Friday is investigation time once again. The investigation post will go live at 3 PM EST, 5/23.

Saturday is the day of your third real ritual. You may find the ritual post here at 12 PM EST, 5/24.

Hm. That's not good. I've been hearing weird noises all week, but far as I can tell? This was the first time I saw something that wasn't there.

[ What if it'll keep getting worse as the week goes on? There's no telling what kind of havoc might break out if they're all hallucinating. ]

I'll spread the word best I can. Does it start up again as soon as we let go, though?

[richesse]

It’s gradual, but I start hearing things pretty quickly if I’m away from Aqua for too long. Pick someone to stay close to~

[ Like she doesn’t know who that is. ]

[nothingbadeverhappensto]

Right. Maybe we should split up and start warning people, then. Should be easier to keep it together even if we aren't warding them off like this, [ he lifts their hands slightly, ] if we know that it's all just a trick.

[ He sounds. Less sure about that than he would like to. Post-traumatic stress disorder and active hallucinations are pretty different beasts in most cases, but Leon's experiences with the former in himself and his comrades tell him that sometimes even knowing the rational explanation for things doesn't help that much in the thick of it. ]
