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.

[ He'll take one from him to check it out. ]

I see one end is tapered with something different on it. Guessing you use it, right?

[hitscans]

That's right.

Lemme get the balls organized. [ gonna rack up the balls and get the cue ball set up ]

This is how we start. We hit the cue ball [ pointing at it ] to hit the others and try to get them into the holes.

[onemolife]

[ Wow touching all of those balls. He'll watch with keen interest to remember how to do it later. ]

I see I see. They are pretty heavy though. Do you have to hit them hard?

[hitscans]

[ he's got a lot of experience in touching balls ]

A bit, yeah. See how there's two different types, solid and stripes?

[onemolife]

[ omai ]

Yeah, I see them. Is there something special about them?

[ Are stripes hard mode? ]

[hitscans]

[ he'll show you ;) ]

Just how to tell them apart. Let me get this started and I'll explain a bit more, a bit easier to understand once you start playing.

[ moves around the pool table and





bends over




to line up his shot. hits the cue ball and hits the other balls. FOR SAKE OF THIS THREAD LET'S SAY THE TWO GOES IN A HOLE ]

So, you see how I got the 2 in? That means I gotta get the solids into the holes. You work at the stripes. We take turns hitting the balls, but if you don't get a ball in, then it's the other person's turn.

Got it?

[onemolife]

[ Wow that's gay.

He definitely looks at the booty for a moment before watching him in action. While he doesn't know he swings that way yet because he's stupid, he definitely knows how to appreciate ]

Got it! So, you get to go again, right?

[hitscans]

[ does he have to talk about his ex-boyfriend and his love of cream pies? or maybe he should alter his ultimate call-out "i've got men in my sights" is catchier after all... ]

Right. Oh, and very important. This one... [ pointing at the 8 ball ] is one we can both hit, but it has to be the very last one.

Sink that one at the very end, and you win.

[onemolife]

[ Most of those things would go over his head. ]

Ah, is that why it's black?

[ Figures the game ender would be his favorite color ]

[hitscans]

[ even the phrase "ex-boyfriend"? ]

Probably, never gave much thought into this game's history.

[ bending over again to aim a ball, this time the 6

and sinks it in ]

Nice.

[onemolife]

[ He's never going to get a turn at this rate, but he doesn't seem to mind. ]

Are you trying to show off?

[hitscans]

Not trying to at all.

[ but this time, he tries to sink a ball and misses ]

Shoot. Well, you're up. [ giving him a smile as he rests his cue stick against a shoulder and gestures to the table ] Think you can handle it?

[onemolife]

I do know my way around a stick.

[ Usually it's for raking fighting or something else though.

He will mimic his pose though and aim... he hits the white one and it knocks into the 11. There it goes into the hole. ]

Oh! Looks like I might have a knack for it.
