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.

[If he minds this close examination, he doesn't show it. After this long, he's used to it.]

All the questions are about...

[...]

I'm not reading any of these out loud to young girls. It's gross. Whoever made this should be ashamed.

[Ah, crotchety grandpa Aqua has arrived.]

[madderbloom]

[ Anemone had been all set to attack him with a makeup brush but now she's thinking does he even need it? He is too pretty, it's unfair! What does a boy need to look so beautiful for? Save some good looks for the rest of us!

Lost in her internal monologue, it takes her a few seconds to register Aqua's griping. ]

Huh? I'm not that delicate, Aqua, and I won't lose to you in games or looks!

[ Since when was this about looks... Anyway, Anemone reaches over and attempts to snatch the question from him to have a look. ]

[selfreliar]

[Pure big brotherly reflex kicks in, and Aqua holds the cards up and away.]

Since when were we competing in looks? I'm a guy, we're not in the same category.

[Who would want to look at even the prettiest guy when there are girls around? He fundamentally doesn't get it.]

[madderbloom]

That's exactly it! Why are you so pretty when you're not even a girl?!

[ Shuffling forward on her knees to make a grab for it. She shouldn't feel envious of a boy but she does! Her and her weird insecurities. ]

[selfreliar]

[Whoops--okay, the cards spill out of his hand and land everywhere. They say stuff like this, by the way. No wonder Aqua's grumpy, this goes against all his old man sensibilities.

No point hiding anything now, though. Aqua gives up with a heavy sigh.]

My sister and I won the genetic lottery. [He... guesses. Looks-wise, anyway.] You should have seen our mother, though.
