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.

[ While Aqua is fishing out the rest of the rings, Anemone takes the first few and flits over to the marked tiles, setting the rings in place by number before they lose their color again. Teamwork! She returns to grab the remaining rings. ]

This had better work!

[ Once all the rings are in their proper positions, they will both hear the sound of a soft click.

One of the tiles has popped loose, and beneath it lays their prize: a key with the word ATTIC etched on the shaft, and a piece of paper with the following words:

“Love like life depends upon it.”

Congratulations on solving your puzzle! ]

Look! We did it, Aqua!

[ She's throwing her arms around him once he gets out of the jacuzzi. ]

[Oh. The hug is a surprise, but after a moment, he smiles and pats her back a little.]

Mm. Good job, Anemone.

[Teamwork makes the dream work.]

[madderbloom]

You're all wet.

[ She protests (what did she expect....). Anemone lets him go to snatch up their prize. Time to find the attic! ]
