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.]

theres no one there.

[scienceofmagic]

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

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

[theirmagic]

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.

[scienceofmagic]

...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? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Yup.]

[scienceofmagic]

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

[strangerpeople]

[Well, there is two:

[Awwwwww]
[HAUNTED!!!] ]

[scienceofmagic]

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

Awwwwww

[strangerpeople]

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

[scienceofmagic]

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

HAUNTED!!!

[strangerpeople]

AAAAAAAAAH!! WHAT DO I DO!? Even the mall CEO is freaking out!! Why did I ever agree to this job!? Waaaah!!

[scienceofmagic]

A CEO, huh?

[ Okay. Time to try something. ]

Your CEO. Can you ask them if they have records on who owns MYJL?

[strangerpeople]

are you kidding??? he'd never tell us we're just security guards!!!

[scienceofmagic]

We're trying to stop all of the hauntings for good. Try that for incentive, and get him to speak to us directly if he has to. We just need to know the name.

[strangerpeople]

For the cute ghosts like you, I'll do it! <3

STOP HITTING ON THE GHOSTS we can try

[scienceofmagic]

Thank you. That's all we ask.

[theirmagic]

[ Chuckling. ]

... They really do think you're cute, Croix.

[scienceofmagic]

[ Okay, Croix is going to keep an eye on the lights and wait for the two to retreat. Will the third light stay? ]

[strangerpeople]

[No. It leaves a few moments later.]

[scienceofmagic]

Damn.

[ She tries. Who even was that? ]

Well. Unless they get the information, I guess we're done...

[ Nothing else of interest? ]
