...we came in?

POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS


[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

[Well, this is all very sweet and reassuring of the girl. With an opening of her shoulders Krone has clearly relaxed.]

I've been at it for a little while now, but this will be the first load I actually raise! It's better to check on these things before getting too invested... But if you'd like the first taste, I wouldn't at all mind!

[hexposition]

Yes, that's understandable. [At getting invested. To get their hopes up for something awful would just be... mmm.]

Ah, no, that's all right. If you'd like help with raising it, though, I'd be happy to offer what I can. I am the one who interrupted you, after all.

[joinhands]

Not at all, not at all! I quite like having the company.

[She shifts on her feet, so the way the rope weighs in her hands is visible in front of her body facing Emma.]

Are you sure it wouldn't be more trouble than it's worth to both hold the rope at once? But actually, something has been bothering me for a while. I didn't want to bring containers with me before even knowing if this would work out! On the other hand, going all the way out to get some and bring them back here would be a hassle...

[hexposition]

Oh! I'd be more than happy to go get some for you. I've only just begun looking around, though, so I'm not wholly sure where I should be looking?

[joinhands]

You have a point. The dining room has glasses, but they're delicate and small from what I saw, so not ideal at all...

[Emma brings a hand to her chin, tapping it absently with her index finger.]

Perhaps upstairs? I had seen a room with what appeared to be maid uniforms. I didn't investigate it too thoroughly, but if it was intended for servants, perhaps there might be some kind of bucket up there?

[How else are they going to mop? ...Well, given the state of this place, they clearly just don't, but still.]

I can run up there and check for you, if you'd like.
