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.

Is... is private really an option...?

[Sh... she'll put a pin in that second option he floated.]

[cw_suicide]

[he's not going immediately there with it, for sure. that's too much, even for him]

If you're the shier sort.

[holds up his hands]

But only kissing, right? So best to keep it simple, right?

[accessorytomurder]

W... we're wearing body cams...!

[She doesn't even know how to kiss!!]

[cw_suicide]

[... this blank look for a moment.]

I completely forgot about those.

[accessorytomurder]

A... and, besides e-even if I d-did, um... I m-mean you can't...

[She flails a little.]

You have stab wounds!

[cw_suicide]

[... this is probably not the time to mention he's done worse with more injuries, she might faint dead away.

he holds up his hands again, smiling.]

I'm only making sure what the expectations here are, that's all. I'm really fine with it being simple.

[accessorytomurder]

I-I don't even know how to... to complicate th-this...!

[cw_suicide]

... it's mostly for my sake I'm saying it, you know.

[he's the scoundrel here]

[accessorytomurder]

Um...! Like I-I promised... I won't, um, I won't... b-blame you, no matter what, Dazai-kun.

Don't worry.

[cw_suicide]

[oh my god now its time for him to sink his face into his hands because who just says something like that???]

No... I'll behave.

[rip him

Just... tell me when.

[accessorytomurder]

Behave...?

[She blinks at him, a bit confused.]

Oh, um... do we... I mean, is now... not... a good time? Do we... is this the sort of thing you, u-um... schedule...?

[cw_suicide]

Now is fine.

[though he's putting out the butt of his cigarette against the wood of the pool table before offering her a hand]

[accessorytomurder]

[What part of property destruction is behaving...!?

...

S-Still.

She slips her hand into his.]

[cw_suicide]

[look, he's doing his beeeeest.

which is why he is hopping off the table and in fact is moving to pull her in close so she can be the one sitting on the pool table instead]

[accessorytomurder]

...!

[She's very lightweight he'll find, and is easily perched up there.

And then... she's actually a little taller than him for once...!]

...hi.

[cw_suicide]

[she sure is.]

Hi~

[and he is pretty close to face.]

[accessorytomurder]

[A-aaaAAaaAAAaaaah...

This! Sure is happening....!

...

But.

She takes a deep breath, musters her courage, and smiles, and with her cheeks burning, hesitantly closes the gap for a quick, sweet little peck on the lips.]

[cw_suicide]

[he's almost startled by how quick it is, honestly.

but then just smiles.]

[accessorytomurder]

...did I do that right?

[Her brow knits thoughtfully, the soft murmur more for her than him.]

That didn't seem too different from the CPR doll...

[cw_suicide]

That's because the mechanics are the same, starting out.

[you put mouths together]

May I?

[practical demonstration is always best]

[accessorytomurder]

O-Okay.

[Kiss Take 2 is a go.]

[cw_suicide]

[i am a fool. i have no kissing icon but a kiss does happen.

he lifts a hand to her face, cupping her cheek to guide her to into a less awkward position when he leans in. it's still a fairly short and simple kiss. chaste, but sweet. not really like a cpr doll at all but still on the side of mechanical since. b e h a v e.

and when he pulls back:]

Better?

[accessorytomurder]

...

[She leans in, easily guided, and lingers as long as he does. Her eyes slip shut along the way because that's what all the movies and manga say you're supposed to do, and open again slowly when he pulls away.

She touches her lips softly, not quite hiding the silly grin that blooms behind them.]

...it was... warm.

[cw_suicide]

A CPR dummy and I might have some things in common, but how we kiss is not one of them.

[he can't not joke okok.]

Want to try again?

[accessorytomurder]

Should I... do something different, this time?

[There had been a world of difference between the two kisses so far, just by lingering a little.]
