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.

[ mood. It's useful if they can find other stuff to cook it in, but on its own? Blecht. ]

This is probably part of that whole "despair" angle the ghosts keep talking about.

We have food, so we can technically survive on it, but it's so unpleasant...

The curse must have a lot of time on its hands if it's the one coming up with tricks like this.

[kaliedoscopes]

I'd say it's not trying hard enough, actually. Torturing us with terrible food choices and trap after trap is tiring yes, but the carrot and stick method is much more impactful. [ Just sayin', apparently. ]

...

Mr. Hikage, please don't give it more ideas.

[kaliedoscopes]

Ah, right. [ He smiles just a bit awkwardly. ]

It probably wouldn't listen to me anyway and insist it knew best.

[oxidegreen]

I'm not sure if that's better.

[kaliedoscopes]

I don't make a habit of engaging with it much anyway. [ So hopefully they never have to deal with this! ]

[oxidegreen]

I think we already have plenty of people engaging with it already.

[A little too much, in her opinion.]
