WEEK 3

WEEK 3

[Once everyone has gotten out of the elevator, those who go to look for Akira and Kurama will find that they have been put into one of their rooms, together, safely tucked into bed with a glass of milk for each of them. And - aside from the bruises of being suctioned into a death cylinder and tranquilized with some very strong drugs - they are alive and unharmed.

Naturally, this means that Akira and Kurama are the first to experience the dreams, but everyone will experience them, once they finally fall asleep, for good and ill.

Despite everything, too, the survivors will find many other new things facing them as they wake up. A new evolution for their powers, a new wing...and a new rule, updated after the execution. The profiles have also been updated, to reflect the Titled's ever-dwindling numbers.

This is going to be a long week, that's for sure.


There are ten strangers left in this place.

((OOC: Don't forget to do Activity Check along with memory regains, everyone!))

...If that picture is to be believed... I think I would, too.

[theirmagic]

You'd at least do it for me, if nothing else.

[ There's a long pause where she levels a glance at Croix, as if she wants to say something else, but she trails off, then changes the subject. ]

... How did you find all this? Did... did we all agree to this...?

[scienceofmagic]

...My contract is the same. As well as Britt's and Helena's.

[theirmagic]

... So we all agreed to this...

[ She... feels ill. ]

I... I don't know what to say. This information... changes things. If our homes are really truly in danger... what... can we do?

[scienceofmagic]

...We find a way to break the game and survive, as well as save our homes. There has to be a way.

[incrediblystressedout]

[Just. Staring.]

I don't know whether to give that skeleton a hug or a noogie, but either way he's the least scary monster I've ever seen.

[Flashlight out, time for business.]

Let's go, I guess.

[scienceofmagic]

[ Croix feels like she could do anything... Thanks, Skeleton.

OKAY what are they doing. ]

[strangerpeople]

[After everyone pays to get in, and they get in, the door closes behind them, and they are plunged into medieval murk of gold and stone.

They are in a room with sixteen doors, and a staircase blocked off by a puzzle... and a floor covered in A MAAAAZE OF BEEEEAR TRAAAAAPS!!

...which you can easily sidestep, though there is a card sticking out of one them...]

[incrediblystressedout]

Okay, this is awful. Also kind of a weird way to start a maze. Any ideas on how to safely get that card?

[incrediblystressedout]

Well, she's pretty, but uh...can she fly?

[theirmagic]

[ Making the least impressed face. Is there anything else in the room they could use to grab said card? ]

... Did anyone bring a stick or something? I only have my flashlight and dagger, so... I don't know.

[scienceofmagic]

Hm... Ursula, if you could set it off with your power, maybe we could grab it then?

[ IT'S WORTH A TRY? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It is!

Otherwise, Room 4 is open for perusal.]

[theirmagic]

Um... I can try? Give me a moment...

[ Okay... let's see. Would she be able to use her power to move the beartrap holding the card to the side? At least, some side of the room that isn't covered in beartraps and isn't by them? ]

[strangerpeople]

[She can!

The beartrap is moved, leaving the card to flop harmlessly on the floor.]

[incrediblystressedout]

[Let's go carefully pick that up and see what it says.]

[comesaround]

Ah... well. This is certainly very concerning, to say the least.

[ A sigh. Karma shook his head once he'd read the note, proceeding to then cross his arms over his chest. ]

I definitely think it was deliberate. Someone wanted us to find these.

[greatfascinations]

[Well, there've been some people who haven't said anything, so. Coco will try, in her own way.]

Soooo.... The Feeling was, like, seriously so nice to me and everyone else. Even the man who, like, killed him. It is totes super sad that you guys can't, like, see him anymore. He and the Bliss were like, so cute together. I know you guys are totally tryin' so here's hoping you don't have to miss em' forever.

Also, Nastacious? Both of them, like.... totally determined people. So like. Even if Nasty totally tried to like, kill me, I get it! I'm not, like, mad at her. Also, they totally hate my Bosses, but... they were not invisible to them. None of you are...

[She sighs.]

...That's all, I guess.

[strangerpeople]

[It's empty.






But there is a QR code that can be scanned!]

[incrediblystressedout]

[She holds it up, baffled by this futuristic hogwash.]

Uh...Professor Croix? Ursula? Do either of you know what to do with this?

[incrediblystressedout]

Shimmery sounds perfect, especially if we can get the right lightning.

[scienceofmagic]

That's a QR code. Let me see if I can scan it.

[ Gonna try! What's she get? ]

[strangerpeople]

[The card reveals its true form.]

[scienceofmagic]

[ U M ]

Is this an ID!?

[strangerpeople]

[It's not. It seems to be a status card of some kind.]
