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?]

"And why should i care about thanks?" she asked, grabbing a seat, dragging it back and then dropping into it. She propped her feet up on the table, crossed at the ankle. She sounded amused, she seemed comfortable and relaxed.

[15unknowns]

I have enough problems taking care of this location with the fool around.

[hmph]

This is not a barn, after all!

[surrender_and_die]

"Yeah," she said, pulling a dagger and cleaning under a nail with it. "See, that's not actually answering my question." She gave him a bright smile. "So, want to try that again?"

[15unknowns]

If I had my way, you would be punished for such gross negligence.

As it is, the amount of damage that has accrued today alone has made me quite perturbed.

[surrender_and_die]

"Hey look at that, still not answering my question." She smiled at him and extended her nails, before using one to start carving into the table top by her legs.

[15unknowns]

[At this, the figure slowly stands up.]

Why should you care? Very well.

You would not want to strain the limits of my patience, my dear. You are hardly in a position to continue to irritate me. So, I suggest you stop maligning the property in such a way, or there will be consequences.

[This is escalating quickly.



over a dinner table]

[surrender_and_die]

She grinned. This might finally get to be some fun. "Seems to me like this position is exactly what's irritating you, actually," she said gleefully.

[15unknowns]

[. . .

Very slowly and purposefully folding their arms.]

Very well. I shall make sure to keep a much closer watch on you. And if you continue this nonsense, or escalate it, I can assure you that you will regret it.

[g l a r e]

Consider this your warning from me.

[surrender_and_die]

She grinned and sat up. "A warning, huh? Well gee, that's nice of you! Let me happily return the favour!" She placed one hand on the table, the other hand down art her side. She extended ALL her nails, impaling the table with five long nails, the others ready to rock.

And yes, she was planning to use the nails to lift the table and throw it if need be.
