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.

Fair point.

[And with that he'll just sit on the ground next to Sissel.]

Things are only becoming more unpleasant, aren't they?

[ghostricked]

[He makes an agreeable sound]

Probably. That feeling that we're still in the prologue is pretty strong, you know?

[dreamshielder]

Olympia did say we hadn't seen the full extent of the core's powers yet.

[Which yeah, pretty much spells out that they're in for quite a bumpy ride potentially.]

But how are you doing? You were quite scared at the beginning, were you not?

[ghostricked]

You're not wrong. Everything here goes against what I know about spirits so it's a lot to process. And then Sho...

Well. I can't hide forever. I'm not that kind of guy.

[dreamshielder]

Do you want to talk about it? I know that can help sometimes.

[ghostricked]

About what happened at the trial?

[dreamshielder]

Or in general.

[He gives a one shouldered shrug.]

A lot has been happening of late.

[ghostricked]

True...

I don't know. I shouldn't be this upset about Sho. He killed someone. He made his choices.

[dreamshielder]

[Haku will just hold out his hand, offering up some petting tine.]

I wasn't very fond of Sho myself. But I think it's natural to feel betrayed and disappointed. There's always the chance that he'll try to make it up to those who held him close.

[A beat.]

Not that it would undo that spectacle he put on.

[ghostricked]

[Yes pets please]

My first owner was like that too, so maybe that's why.

[dreamshielder]

[Aww, commence the petting!]

What happened to your first owner?

[ghostricked]

A lot. He's in jail now. Don't get me wrong though, he deserves to be there.

[dreamshielder]

You've seen... an awful lot, haven't you?

[Consoling ear skritches are consoling? Maybe.]

[ghostricked]

I guess you could say that. Humans always get themselves into complicated problems.

[dreamshielder]

[That actually makes him laugh a little.]

Says the brave cat that got attacked by miasma the first day and then went chasing spiders.

[ghostricked]

Hey! Don't call me out like that.

[dreamshielder]

Heh. Alright.

But it's practically a universal problem isn't it? If you want something badly enough, you'll do whatever it takes to get it. Even if it means hurting yourself in the process.

[ghostricked]

It's true... is revenge really that powerful a thing?

[dreamshielder]

Depends on what was taken from you, I think.

But it also depends on the kind of person you are.
