FINAL WEEK

[There are no new floors that open today.

No food, if you didn't bring any with you. No way to figure out how much more anyone can take of this. There's just no way to know. Half of your number are gone. Half of your number either betrayed, or were betrayed. It is overwhelming and terrible-and who knows what more is to come.

You can feel the shift in the air. The fear, the strain, the tension, between everyone who is left. What can anyone do? Is there any way out of this? Is everyone truly condemned, after all? Who will betray whom?

What will happen next?


There are seven strangers left in this place.]

((OOC NOTE: This post is your last chance to have your characters explore the Mansion and all of its corners for possible clues. After the Final Investigation is open on Thursday, the Mansion will still be accessible, but the Strangers will be unable to uncover any new clues-or alter their Nightmare levels-in Investigations or Encounters.

You have been warned.))

[Maybe so, but Emma's still a young woman at heart, and one who spent all her time in Literature Club proofreading boys love novels, to boot.

Their affections are obviously pretty skewed toward each other, enough that she'd never dare to intrude, but... well, it'd be enough for her maiden heart to know they at least wound up happy, she thinks.]

...I didn't know the dead still had to worry about climate and shelter.

[That's honest. Like... seriously? What's the point of dying if you're still stuck dealing with human problems?]

Still, they have help, at least. The closest thing we've had got bored and wandered off on me about 15 minutes after we met.

[somewhere, someday, they will end up happy. Osomatsu wants to believe that, as well.

though, now that she's said something about how the dead are worrying about shelter, that gets Osomatsu wondering, too. she's right! if Franciscus and the others are already dead, why are they...]

Oh, yeah. Excalibur, right? I wonder if he's still around here.

[hexposition]

Mmhm.

If he is... I hope he's safe. He was a bit troublesome, to be sure, but he seemed like he was sweet enough past the endless babbling about his own history.

[relieable]

[hehe]

Maybe he found a way out.

[hexposition]

Hee... I sure hope so. [Look at that, he made her smile a little again.] I think he'd be much better regaling some large audience with tales of his many feats than he would a bunch of starving trauma victims.

[relieable]

Well, he must've been here for a reason, right? Did he say if he'd been captured?

[hexposition]

Um... well, I think I remember him getting kind of offended when I asked him that. But then he just said he didn't know why he was here.

He was... shall we say... rather eccentric.

[relieable]

[ah... Osomatsu wishes that he could have met Excalibur. maybe there would still be a chance. or maybe he got away, which would be preferable for him]

Hm. Hopefully we don't need his help...
