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?]

It's still worth a shot, anyway.

"Right. I'll see you later then."

[surrender_and_die]

She nodded. "Let me know once everything is set up."

"Yeah, sure." Harriet finally turns to part from the murderous woman, and keeps her eyes open for the things she mentioned while exploring the rest of the mansion.

Ultimately, though, she finds there's not even a kitchen, let alone the cooking oil she's looking for, and the pickings for the other things are nowhere near enough to smoke out their captors, let alone burn down the house - the only fabric to be found is a few maid outfits, and the only wood (that wouldn't require her to break all the furniture, anyway) is in the dining room fireplace. Dupree may think of some creative ideas, but from Harriet's perspective, this plan is already a pipe dream. And anyway, she'd rather focus on one that only kills the ones responsible, even if she doesn't care that much about the others who are here.

This will be a longer game than they expected. As such, she doesn't go too far out of her way to try finding her new 'friend' again - it's not that big of a mansion, they'll run into each other sooner or later.
