15strangers | WEEK 1

WEEK 1

[Awaken.

Fifteen strangers have been gathered to the Depths.

When the strangers awaken, they will feel nauseous in their stomachs. No doubt confused. Maybe a little sick, Perhaps, even terrified. And certainly, there is a good reason for it - they are not where they were before. If they had powers back where they came from, they seem to be all gone. And it appears that someone has left...guidelines for them. All of them addressed to a specific Title.

Their Title. Somehow, each person knows, upon seeing this, this is their Title, even if it seems to make no sense whatsoever. And its clear that whoever wrote these things knew it as well. Who was it?

Its uncertain. So far, there seems to be no one else save for them, and those who dare to venture out of their rooms - save, for some reason, the individuals in rooms 1, 8 and 7 - in this hot and stuffy place. No...'intercessor' to be seen yet, certainly. No outward signs that there's anyone else aside from the people with 'Titles'.

So, Titled: welcome.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

There's only one way to find out. You can stay back if you want.

[She'll be on guard as she steps inside, but she'll check whatever small hiding places there are available in the room to see if there is anyone or any sort of corpse. Any bodies around, living or dead?]

[No dead bodies, but there is a gem next to the gold statue.]

[Well, no corpses is always a plus. But a gem, huh. Is it covered with blood? And just what kind is it?]

[The gem is very unusual. Its of a perfectly octahedron shape, and is a magenta-red.

However, there's no blood on it and no sign there ever was.]

[She's no expert at mineralogy but she'll hold onto it because it seems important. Well, if it's there, she might as well check the statue then. What is it, anyways?]

[It is a beautiful statue of a queen bee. The base of the statue is a honeycomb which ithe bee stands on.

It is carved from solid - and heavy - gold.]

[That's cool, she guesses? Not like she'd be able to tell if it was real gold or not but hey, if they ever get out of here they could probably make some quick mira off it if they needed to. Incidentally, are there any recesses on it which may fit the gem she just found?]

[There is not.]

[Should she fuck around with this scene. Well whatever. Is the statue small enough for her to move it? Because if so, she'll check to see if anything's under it.]

[It's heavy, but it's doable.

Underneath is a smooshed piece of paper...and a press-on nail.]

[Oh hey, nice to know she didn't do that for nothing. What's on the paper when she smooths it out? Also, what colour is that nail anyways...]

[The letter is actually the rules addressed to the Glister, dated back to Monday. However, there is something noticeably different about this letter on first glance - namely that the handwriting is different from the letters Fie and everyone else had been given.

As for the press-on's color? Bright red.]

[That's curious. There's nothing else different about the letter if she reads over it again, is there? Otherwise she'll just see if maybe there's another letter around the room, since she can't tell if it's fake or not...]

[Regarding the letter's contents, there isn't.

There is something extra on the back, however, something large enough to be easily noticed.]

[Well, then I guess we'll be checking whatever's on the back, then. What's she looking at, here?]

[It's a picture of a giant circle with cross hatching throughout, sourrounded by sparkles. It takes up most of the page.]

[Oh no she's still being haunted by more sparkles nooooo

But okay, this is oddly appropriate, she supposes. Is the crosshatching akin to shading in order to make the circle look three-dimensional, make some kind of pattern, or is it just... like a black circle?]

[The sparkles will haunt you FOREVER

The cross hatching is patterned, very careful and deliberate. It's actually very similar to the pattern one would find when cutting gems.]

No, that's fine.

[But maybe he'll stay behind Fie anyway at the time he ventured in because he is totally that much of a wuss... but after he checks the bed he'll look at the statue again. For one thing, he didn't really see how fresh the blood was, which might be good to know.]

[The blood on the statue is in the last stages of drying. Because of that, it makes the other obvious thing about the blood easy to spot: the strands of hair that are stuck to it.]

What the... did someone get clocked on the head with this thing?

[Also, he's going to try and figure out whose hair this is, because at the very least it could help him determine who the fuck was in his room!]

That would explain the blood, but...

[She definitely doesn't want to think that happened. Still...]

If it did... then who got hit? And more importantly, where are they now?

[From the looks of the blood they'd need some medical attention at the very least. No... hopefully that's all it was. She didn't want there to be anything more to that.]

The statue's got pink hair stuck on it... what if it's Harley? Did she have red nails?

[He can't remember if her nails were like that since he's freaking out.]

[The strands of hair are about shoulder length, and the color on strands not saturated in blood all look to be a dark red-pink hue.

Anyone come to mind?]

[He's always worried about what they could be doing to Mira, but hers is more of a pinkish brown and it's waist length, so he can relax that it's not that. Other than that, the weird brat that said he was a weapon had red hair (but it's too short), and Harley had a pink pigtail.... that makes him wonder, but hers wasn't that red in his opinion, and also it would be half blonde or something. Likewise, if it was the guy with the red coat, his would be half blue....

Eric is confused.]
