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?]

Ah, but knowledge given to the uninitiated is unwise. You would not expect a child to build a church, would you? So it is that you are not yet ready for what is ahead of you.

[Though they seem pleased by the demonstration.]

You assume such a loss to be wholly of my doing, my dear-and that it is a curse. Perhaps you may soon yet see otherwise.

[hexposition]

But such knowledge can be studied, and used to prepare for what lies ahead. Still, I suppose I have little choice but to accept your judgement.

[...Hm.]

My apologies. [She'll dismiss the sphere of water. Where did it go? Who knows!] I suppose it's hard not to jump to conclusions in times of stress.

[15unknowns]

Excellent. Following us will serve you well, I can assure you, my dear!

[They seem pleased.]

[...Ah, hell. She'll push her luck just one last time.]

How so?
