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.

Such a troublesome one. You're lucky I don't mind it at all though.

[ He'll stretch out and then straighten his robes finally before following after him. ]

[cw_suicide]

[oh lookie. Russian literature.

FOUND ME A DOSTOYEVSKY.]

So what was the kidnapping for? Bringing me cheer or...?

[onemolife]

I know I don't like being cooped up in bed with nothing to do. That, and I wanted to take some of your time to myself.

[ Spending time with the other gremlin does take his mind off other things at times. Also friend ]

[cw_suicide]

Ah, it's a perfect time to get that talk out of the way, isn't it?

[onemolife]

I suppose it is. I do have a few guesses as to it's nature.

[ Or really one guess ]

[cw_suicide]

[it's an odd smile as he pulls the Dostoyevsky off the shelf.]

It's the part of what I said was silly before.

... it's stupid trying to hold onto something when there's all the likelihood it's all going to disappear, but y'know... I don't think I've ever met someone who's understood so little but managed to see right through me before.

So... sorry. It's a little unfair since I was encouraging it, but I can play around this much...?

[onemolife]

There's nothing wrong with wanting to hold on to something while you still have the chance to.

[ He's glancing away at that. Not because it bothers him, but he has lost so much before. ]

[onemolife]

[ Then it's gone jut like that, and he's back to grins. ]

You're lucky I'm a very understanding mistress. I will admit I am a little disappointed I didn't get one last night with you before you got taken.

[cw_suicide]

[THE BIGGEST OF SIGHS]

The one regret in my very short now life...

[onemolife]

[ He will move in close to press a gently kiss against his cheek if he doesn't pull away. ]

It was fun while it lasted. What book did you find anyway?

[cw_suicide]

[he'll keep still. and give a bit of a smirk at it before looking down at the tome in hand.]

The Idiot, it looks like.

[taps the book]

In my world, there's a man by this name who is a villainous rat I had locked away recently.

[onemolife]

Oh? Is this about authors that seem to share the names of people from your world?

[ He remembers vaguely there were introductions about them not being that version of the same name ]

[cw_suicide]

Exactly that. At a glance, I've found some names, but not others. Disappointing, really.

[LET ME READ ODA'S BOOKS, FFS!!!]

[onemolife]

[ Oda was too baby at the time. ]

Maybe you can find it later. This place has a bunch of rooms we haven't even seen yet.

[ Maybe there will be a room with books that are younger? ]

[cw_suicide]

That's true. There's always that possibility.

[not getting his hopes up for it, tho. that way lies despair]

[onemolife]

[ Humming in response as he nudges his arm gently with his own. ]

What other names have you found then? Are they different from the people you know?
