RECORDING 4: THE SECOND WEEK

[foundationmods]

A second week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. With first blood - and oil - spilled, it now seems as if it'll only be a matter of time before the worse eventually happens once more. Thankfully, it seems as if the Miasma is content to remain at the same levels it did before, so arguments are unlikely to break out, though tensions are surely high after everything that's already occurred.

Speaking of which, the temperature remains a consistent comfortable early to mid 70's in the house. It appears at least that you'll be here in comfort..? Though it appears that the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

Yet, something feels...wrong. The house feels as if it is laughing at you, when you awake...

...What new horrors await you this week?


WARNING: Some investigations of new areas will contain traps that may be harmful or even lethal.

[Olympia pauses for a moment.]

I see now my phrasing was ambiguous. No.

[accessorytomurder]

But Sho is... still around.

[Her pen slows on the paper. That wasn't a question, because she's trying to limit that; Olympia was kind enough to forewarn them about her patience. She flips back to check on her notes from the first time they met a Vessel.]

...since he's not officially the Vessel, does that mean he's not bound by the direct, um... 'noninterference' limits you and Todd seem to apply to yourselves?

[carbide]

Sho is bound by his own idiocy.

[Is that a useful answer? Olympia seems to think it is.]

[accessorytomurder]

Do, um... do you mean his sigil, or, uh... e-earning an execution, or...?

[What level of stupidity are we talking about, here?

[carbide]

I mean his stupidity restricts his ability to pursue an intelligent course of action, much as it did before his execution.

[tangentlion]

Lies and slander.

[accessorytomurder]

Um, w... why don't we just call this a schism of reason and a-art, okay?

[Is she... mediating the ghosts???]

[tangentlion]

Hmph.

[he pulls his hat down over his eyes]

Factoring Vessel...

[accessorytomurder]

I mean... um, even if you really aren't stupid, she kind of has a pass to insult you to her heart's content for a while, um, a-all things considered...

[You killed her after all.]

[tangentlion]

Why do you think I'm standing over here just taking it, radian? I couldn't return fire even if I wanted to.

[it's what he deserves]

[accessorytomurder]

...

[Her shoulders droop.]

Right. S-Sorry. ...um, did you want to be the Vessel?

[tangentlion]

... Can we talk about this later.

[accessorytomurder]

Oh, um... s-sorry, I thought this was the time to ask questions.

[She flips to the planner section in the front of her notebook.

Like a nerd.]

What time would be better for you?

[cw_suicide]

[Yachi

he is... near but not. interfering. but also oh my god]

[carbide]

[seriously.]

[tangentlion]

Ask her questions.

[oh my god Yachi you GIANT NERD. He pushes the notebook down with a single finger. SOLID GHOST]

I'll find you. I got another data point to drop on you anyway.

[accessorytomurder]

So... he can and will interact with us whenever he pleases?

[carbide]

Unless I choose to stop him.

[accessorytomurder]

As the Vessel, are you in charge of all the other, um... spirits? Around?

[carbide]

Yes.

[accessorytomurder]

Is the last person from the last group among them yet?

[carbide]

I asked Todd a similar question last week. He answered evasively.

[accessorytomurder]

Are you going to, too?

[carbide]

I just did.

[accessorytomurder]

Is that your final answer though, is what I meant.
