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.

Battler-kun! It's good luck, that's what it is.

[She'll go ahead and move out of the doorway so he can see.]

It's a sauna! Finally, a valid place to relax when we need to.

[boardreversal]

A sauna? I don't think I've ever been in one of those - is it seperated for men and women, or do both genders just...

[He gestures??? Is this like a unisex bath???]

[golden_dream]

Not even once? Battler, have you never been to an onsen?

[Incredulous tone.]

[boardreversal]

Well, I was with my mom's parents for six years - I never felt like bothering them to go to an Onsen or anything like that. And I don't remember if we went to one when mom was still alive.

[He scratches the back of his head.]

And we never stayed overnight during any school trips, so...

[golden_dream]

That's just not right, Battler-kun. Onsen are one of life's real luxuries. A hot onsen on a crisp cold day with a hot tumbler of sake... then fresh crab to eat at dinner...

[she gives a relaxed little sigh, vicariously reliving the moment.]

Oh, but the concept for the sauna is simple. You sit in the room and pour water on the coals. Then you just enjoy the steam.

Don't get too excited, though. We can easily set up a bathing schedule.

[boardreversal]

I'll have to take your word on the sake part, but the rest sounds great!

[He's still only 18, Rosa!!!]

A-And hey, why would I get excited....? I mean, we'd all be in towels, right? So there's nothing to get excited about!

[This is a lie and he knows it, but he's not admitting it in front of his Aunt because oh god.]

But...I guess a schedule would be best, yeah...

[Don't sound so crestfallen holy shit???]

[golden_dream]

[Oh right, he hasn't been living with Rudolf.]

...Just a little joke, Battler-kun.

[boardreversal]

[He is still 100% a bonafide teenager and knew what she was getting at, though. She didn't catch that his protesting was a 'doth protest too much' situation.]

N-No, I get it...just, I got an earful when I first got here about not making those kinds of jokes towards my coworkers, so...

[It was a very interesting first week, that's for sure.]

[golden_dream]

You mean at the Foundation?

...Just what kind of jokes were you making?
