Week 2, Friday

[foundationmods]

Once again, it is Thursday night. The nightly patrol goes out, hoping to prevent any murders that may occur on this night. Though many sleep, a few wander around, catching the eye of a camera here and there. The night is tense, and it can be seen in how rigid everyone's shoulders are. If there is to be a murder, it will be tonight.

Leo is one of those individuals wandering around. He is nervous this week, thanks to a particular incident that spooked him on Monday. While he did get calmed down at the time, he's still nervous. What if he comes across Ingway like that again? Will he freeze up like he did before?

Though a couple people talked to Ingway as well, so maybe...

Only time will tell.

On the other side of the house, on the backyard porch, is Ingway. He is sitting on the edge of the porch there and looking up at the stars, contemplating a series of events that had happened this week. So much has happened in such a little amount of time, and it has drastically changed a huge part of his life. Where does he go from here? What does he do with the time he has been given? There is no easy answer for that.

There is, however, an easy answer for what comes next.

The back door opens, and Leo steps out. Ingway, having heard the door open, quickly glances in that direction, which in turn startles Leo. Recognition and fear fill Leo's eyes, and he's torn on what to do. Should he stay? Should he run? It IS Thursday night, and Ingway has proven himself to be dangerous. But he's also been helped by so many people, so is he really still dangerous?

But after a long pause, Ingway's face shifts to a small, warm smile, and he pats the edge of the porch near him. Leo glances around, and then hesitantly takes the offer and moves to sit down with Ingway.

Their conversation isn't audible, they are just barely too far away from a microphone. But whatever it is they talk about, they're out there for a good half-hour, and by the end of it both men are smiling. Rather than fighting, it seems they have managed to talk out their problems, and the night passes with no deaths.

((Just as before, only people outside of the round can see this. Characters within the round will only know about it if Leo and Ingway tell anyone.))

Hallway Door Team: Assemble

[arraignments]

[ By the way, now that George got the info, time to try getting down there again. Will he need/be able to break into the door again? ]

[darkremnants]

[ s'up ]

[georgeous]

[ Time to encounter the monster of the basement. George is here, since he has insisted on bringing the password personally (he also just doesn't trust the whole group to wifi responsibly). }

[overconfidant]

[Akira is tagging along, too, since person-eating hand. He's a little quiet but he'll keep up.]

[foundationmods]

[HELLO TEAM! The door is locked but you have your lock-picker here, so we'll assume you can get the door open and head down the stairs. Down and down and down until they hear that voice again.]

Oh, you're back. Do you have the wifi password?

[arraignments]

[ He smiles! ]

Hello, Otete-chan. We do.

[georgeous]

[ George is far from smiling. He's pulling a face at having to negotiate with this... thing. But he knows it's necessary. ]

We'd just like to get some information from you first.

[darkremnants]

Hand me your phone and I'll hook you up, while they get to know you.

[ Might as well ]

[foundationmods]

[Here you go Vanitas, enjoy the phone!]

What do you want to know?

[arraignments]

Where are you from?

[ It feels like a good place to start? ]

[georgeous]

[ George is gonna hand Vanitas the paper with the log-in data for the wi-fi and see how the convo goes on. ]

[darkremnants]

[ taking the phone and the paper. just going to access the wi-fi to put in the username and password ]

[foundationmods]

The caves. At some point humans ended up making stairs into my caves, so now I live in the stairs too.

[arraignments]

[ Oh... ]

So... you possibly were here before this house...?

[ Is his current guess, off of what little info they have at the moment. ]

[overconfidant]

...how big are the caves?

[Someone might already be drawing up a mental list of exploration supplies as he leans against Goro's shoulder.]

[foundationmods]

Very big. They go everywhere around here. Lots of basements, lots of stairs to find.

You don't want to go there though. Most of them aren't nice like me.

[darkremnants]

[ Password is done. ]

Most of them? Who are they?

[ He'll offer the phone back to Otete-san. ]

[foundationmods]

More like me.

[He takes the phone back now.]

Ah, thank you. I have been missing my message boards.

[darkremnants]

[ so a handsome group ]

[arraignments]

[ wow. do you want a round of applause for that ]

What kind of message boards?

[foundationmods]

Ones for spelunking. Then I can see if people found more entrances to the caves.

[georgeous]

For finding food?

[ SHOULD HE COME RIGHT OUT WITH THAT? WHO KNOWS. ]

[foundationmods]

Yes.

[He is not ashamed of himself in the slightest.]

[darkremnants]

[ Hand creatures have got to eat. ]

What's the address to those boards? Maybe I could hook you up with candy.

[ It could be useful seeing what... cave critters are up to under the house? Or if they need to use this as an escape route. ]

[foundationmods]

[He gives the address to the boards.

It's a sub-board of the same board that the contestants can find out shit on Friend or Foe.]
