MINGLE LOG | WEEK 4
Locations | Rooming | Full Nav

Another week gone, and with it, two of your number. Only eleven of you remain alive. And still, there is no escape. Or is there?

This week, something has changed. Something is different. Beginning Sunday, Pratibha is gone, and cannot be found or located at all. After Sunday's puzzle is solved, and the attic opened to you, you will see why. But what has happened? How has this happened? And why is the only other object there a strange mirror? Perhaps you should investigate.

On Monday morning, your motive quickly becomes apparent. Will you isolate yourself? Will you risk being around others? The choice, as ever, is yours.

On Tuesday, the week's second puzzle becomes available, and with its solving, the game room. If you wanted another way to unwind from all the stress, pressure, and uncertainty, at least there's this?

Come Wednesday, you may realize that at last you have full run of the house. Every room is available to you now. Nevertheless, you cannot run from the messages, which come thicker and faster than ever.

On Thursday, you may wish to visit the greenhouse. There is nothing there for you--including no mysterious messages, from the dead or otherwise. Should you wish for a reprieve, the greenhouse will grant it to you. That is, at least until curfew. Should you remain out of your room past that time, the messages will return, and they will be utterly inescapable no matter where you go--or if you are alone.

Friday is investigation time once again. The investigation post will go live at 3 PM EST, 5/30.

Saturday is the day of your fourth real ritual. The ritual post will go live at 12 PM EST, 6/1.

“Nothing. It’s nothing.”

Gavin shrugs. Kicking his feet around in the pool as if he might be able to hide the words by disrupting the water but, of course: he can’t.

“Looks like the ghosties have gone and fucked up the pool. Stupid murder house is fine with screwing up the walls when it’s trying to piss us off — or for murder.”

Then, insisting: “I don’t care about anything. Except my cat. So, if that’s what the house is talking about? Sure.”

Leon snorts. Sure, fine, he'll play along. He crosses his arms over his chest and leans against the wall.

"Well, I'm sure your cat misses you, too. Feeling tempted to murder your way home to Fluffy, or is the house just running out of ideas already?"

“Definitely running out of ideas. Don’t think the house really knew what the hell to do with me in the first place.”

Most of the people here have been nice. Caring about each other, and all that. It’s weird. Gavin doesn’t fit in.

“Sure, I’ll murder to get back to Banana.”

Gavin uses his foot to splash some water in Leon’s direction. Is he joking? Mostly.

Leon’s able to dodge out of the way of most of the droplets, that reach him, but it does get his shoes a little wet. In his defense he’s a little distracted watching Gavin carefully - not suspiciously, necessarily, but trying to figure out his deal.

“You named your cat Banana?”
