RECORDING 7: THE THIRD WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A third week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. The final week completely covered by everyone's rations, though with proper meting out, you'll be able to make it stretch until after week 4. It seems as if everyone will have to go without a few meals here and there..

To make things worse, when you wake up - it's clear the Miasma has gotten thicker. Everyone, save those still protected either by their powers or items they brought with them, is now even more deeply affected by the curse. Arguments will be flaring up more, along with negative thoughts and feelings...and even more worrying Is that any magic that touches the house itself will corrode over time. If a barrier is put in place and touches the floor, walls, or ceiling, in half a day it will be completely consumed by the miasma and fizzle out. Spells or seals will also corrode, and even personal healing abilities have been halved.

The Temperature has dropped, just a bit - down to the mid to low 60's. Strange, isn't it? As before,the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

25 of your number still remain.

...What new horrors await you this week?


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

[Haku meanwhile is dressed in his ANBU outfit (minus mask) and will simply step out of his geta and come dunk his legs in the water. While he's moving, there'll be a glimpse of a pretty nasty bruise on his knee, but Haku will quickly cover that back up.]

I don't usually indulge in things like this at all. [A beat.] But it is nice. I can see why people would miss it.

[onemolife]

[ He sees it, but won't say anything about it at the moment. ]

It's good to indulge yourself once in a while. Especially at times when everything looks pretty bad.

[dreamshielder]

I think you're right about that.

[Lazily he moves his legs under the water, and scoops up a handful of bubbles.]

But it's hard to keep your spirits up in a place like this. Even with small indulgences from time to time.

[onemolife]

Are you the kind who needs hope of any kind or just something to get you through the day?

[ He'll scoop additional bubbles to just plop them in Haku's hand. More bubbles ]

[dreamshielder]

[Ah, that actually gets him to smile a little. It's a nice gesture, you know?]

I'm not sure. I want to be more useful.

[onemolife]

[ Useful is an interesting term. Usually people go with helpful. This also reminds him of Dazai. ]

Useful to yourself, someone important, or the group at large?

[dreamshielder]

[The irony of course being that Mo is also reminding him of Dazai though for different reasons at present....]

Mm All of those can be true at once, can't they?

[Idly he blows on the bubbles in his hand sending them scattering.]

[onemolife]

That is true. They can all be true, but it is an odd choice of words.

[ time to make a bubble snowman. Stacking bubbles up ]

[dreamshielder]

[He considers that for a moment, then sweets more bubbles over for Mo to use for this snowbubble creature.]

I hadn't thought so. [A beat.] But ninja from Kirigakure are trained to be weapons, not human.

[onemolife]

[ And now he's thinking of Wen Ning, which has him going quiet a moment. Then he'll blow down his snowman. ]

Do you still consider yourself a weapon then or human?

[dreamshielder]

[He considers that, eyes fixed on the disappearing snowman. It doesn't take him long to answer.]

Human, of course. Being the perfect weapon, unfeeling and unmoved, is an ideal that only a few ninja have truly achieved.

[onemolife]

[ The pause in itself is a bit telling though. ]

I don't think it's good for anyone to just be a perfect weapon. People have their own thoughts and feelings. It'll be good for them to get a chance to explore it and grow.

[dreamshielder]

I don't think I could stop having feelings even if I wanted to. The miasma's making that abundantly clear to me.

[Pesky purple fog should go away.]
