WEEK 4

[To say that the mood of the remaining Strangers is...low...is an understatement. The revelations about Eric, and the death of the innocent Zelda, no doubt weighs on everyone's minds, now. It's a terrible blow, and deep down, those who are left probably know it.

That won't be the only thing come morning, however. When everyone wakes up, they will find that their memories have changed once more, as have the rules. More than that, a new floor has opened up-and something is wrong.

Of course something is wrong. Everything is wrong. Everything and everyone is wrong. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. What can you do? Is there anything that can be done? And-will vengeance be taken for Zelda? Eric is now a free kill, after all. Then again, what's to stop Eric from killing again? He's no longer bound to the rules of the murder, after all...

Is there any hope left? Or is it only a matter of time before everyone well and truly snaps?


There are ten strangers left in this place.]

Comments

[strangerpeople]

[A combination of the three.

As he does look at one of the chairs, he will notice something blocky on the seat of it.]

[yonosoymaria]

[Ah. Splendid. That has so many potential explanations and he wants to think of none of them! And he's sort of regretting not having anything that might serve as a way of poking at the blocky thing before going after it -

but instead he'll use his non-dominant hand to try to pick it up.]

[strangerpeople]

[And the book falls from his hand and clatters back onto the chair.]

[yonosoymaria]

[Well, it's something at least - and it didn't bite, and the chair didn't seize his arm, so he's going to try picking it up again, and this time inspecting it - is it in a language he can read?]

[strangerpeople]

[It is.

In fact, it's the same book Ambrosine will read later. Though of course Eric wouldn't know that.]

[yonosoymaria]

[The revival of the dead, huh. That's... even if it worked, he's not kicking that hornet's nest. Is there anything else in the book?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope. That's pretty much about it.]

[yonosoymaria]

[Right. That's it, he's setting that back on the chair and leaving, but before he does, he pauses to look at the skeleton again.

Sure, the table has dried blood on it, but does it look like the body that skeleton supported decayed on that table - are there stains like it did? Or does that table look oddly clean, all things considered?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's worryingly clean, but there are stains that look like it could be old blood.]
