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.]

[ ! ]

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?

Asilia

... There's a third one of you here, right
who is that?
they said something interesting
that they didn't think this was impossible
i know there's more but we can only seem to figure out you 3

really???no theres only us two

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

[There are three. Apparently the others left.]

[ Uh. ]

i can see a third person here
they need to stop hiding and talk to us

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

theres no one there.

...Chariot, how are you seeing this person?

[ She's confused! No writing for the moment. ]

I... I was able to read their thoughts. And the thoughts of those two, too. When I picked up that strange pin and my phone beeped.

I see... they're sort of like lights? It's hard to describe.

...I wonder... My phone didn't update, but... That sounds like something my Fabricator powers gave me...

[ ...Croix is going to attempt the same thing. Can she do this, too? ]

[Yup.]

[ Then is Croix going to get anything different? Any thought fragments or...? ]

[Well, there is two:

[Awwwwww]
[HAUNTED!!!] ]

[ Going to listen to the first one, first. ]

Man, I can't even hit on cute ghosts successfully...oh well...maybe next time?

[ ...Mooooving on and checking the other thought. ]

HAUNTED!!!
