15strangers | FINAL WEEK

FINAL WEEK

[This round really has been different.

The beginning of the week brings memories once more, as everyone finally falls asleep, and soon enough it will become apparent that a new wing has opened up, laying bare the entire mall for the survivors. Still, it is no small comfort. Not when the residents have also been updated, bringing home the very sobering fact that over half of those who arrived here are dead.

There are so few left. The Fabricator has been exposed, and somehow that is hardly a victory. It's clear that whoever is running this intends to hold whatever cards they can until the bitter end. Theirs isn't the first time this Game has been played, after all. They can easily outlast their charges on their home turf.

Yet, there is a strange hope. Maybe there is a way out. The question now is finding it and going on the offensive, before those in charge make their next move. Because they will eventually. There is no doubt. Time is not a luxury the remaining Titled can waste anymore and everyone knows it.

So don't waste it - because the clock is ticking. Prepare yourselves.

There are seven strangers left in this place.]

[ Now, to more serious matters. ]

Do you know what's happening in this mall? With us?

[Hitting on Croix is always important.]

the malls haunted??? even since it started renovating but we all knew that?

We've been brought from various locations and trapped here, given powers and every week we're given a motive.

Then we're told to kill each other over it. After that, we go to trial and sift through evidence we gather ourselves to try and name the culprit. We get it right, only the culprit dies. We get it wrong, the rest of us die.

We're looking for a way to end this and escape. We're tired of all the death.

[ ...Nice and succinct, she hopes. ]

that's fucked up man

thursday night curse is real!!!!

[ Okay so... she's gonna borrow the pen on the table and leave the pencil out for them so she can differentiate herself from Croix: ]

thursday is usually when people end up killed on our end but no one is killing this week we're trying to stop it
what's the curse?

security sees people die on thursday but theres no body or evidence!!!!!

[ ... Holy shit. Her reply is real fast. They can see what's happening here, even if it's brief. ]

theyre seeing the bodies on our end! what have they seen so far?!
did someone see someone in the crab-o-licious crab tank, for example?
or in the food court? or in the barcade? we had bodies in those places

yeah and then he got hauled off to a hospital because it was crazy shit!!! it's happened to every guard whos run thrudsay nihght skeleton shift the past years!!!

[ Suddenly, Croix's struck with what she hopes is brilliance. ]

Does the name "Kana" mean anything to any of you?

Kana??? MYJL Kana???

no she works at the sushi plaholy shit stop trying to write over mriewghdlkwg

[And thus a scribbling war commences.]

[ ! ]

I've been in contact with her. Is she all right?

[finally someone gets there.]

She called in, I think? like, I haven't seen her in food court since last week.

Last Friday?

[ After the trial. ]

Two more things. 1. Do you know about the cat statue in MYJL? It's a fingerprint scanner. I don't think we can open it. 2. Do you know who Kana's boss is?

oh my god this is seriously ghostbusters mission impossible shit!!????!!WHY IS THERE THAT SHIT

i don't know?? no one sees MYJL owner much

Do you at least know her name? Knowing that much could help us a great deal. Please.

No sorry. no one knows...

That makes no sense, shouldn't there be records...?

[ Croix is... Very confused. ]

One more.

What's the lowest floor of this mall?

The food court, pretty sure?

...No. That's not right...

[ Croix shakes her head. ]

...My apologies, I've been rude. I'm Croix. Do you have names?

[ ... Chariot is going to try another scan. How many people are still in the room? ]

[There are three. Apparently the others left.]

[ Uh. ]

[ She'll even draw a little detail of the room where she sees they are. ]
