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.

...Probably.

[ he has to be honest, after all. ]

It just makes me wonder how long it'll be before we lose them completely to the miasma.

[eyeforai]

Sho's been holding on for the past two weeks, but I don't know him enough to tell if he's acting normal or not. If we're lucky, we might still have a couple more weeks.

[...]

Actually, I have question I want to ask you. Do you mind?

[finalring]

Me neither. But I suppose we'll know when he's unable to keep fighting.

[ however he does raise an eyebrow when date says he wants to ask him something ]

Sure. What is it?

[eyeforai]

[Honestly, this is probably going to sound like one hell of a non sequitur here.]

You're a doctor, so that means you studied things like psychology and neurology, right? What do you know about hormones and how it affects someone's mood?

[finalring]

Eh...?

[ that is.... definitely a question. ]

Sorry, I’m not following. Where are you... trying to get at?

[eyeforai]

[...]

Just... answer the question.

[finalring]

Hormones can definitely affect one’s mood, yes. If you want to think about it in a scientific manner, our moods are pretty much made up mostly of hormones.

[ .... ] Why?

[eyeforai]

[...]

...Let's move this somewhere more private.

[finalring]

....I see.

[ he nods. ]

Lead the way.

[private] also spoilers for ai: the somnium files

[And he'll do that, all the way over to Room 4. Thankfully, with most everyone being out and about, none of his roommates are inside at the moment. Just don't mind one of those arcade machines from last week in the corner, it's fine.

Anyways, after Romani's had the chance to settle in a little bit, Date will lean against the wall with his arms crossed, and start speaking with a reluctant look on his face.]

...When I got here, some doctors at the Foundation mentioned something about a hormone deficiency and gave me some medication to deal with it. They must not have expected the mission to last this long, because I was given only about a month's worth. ...You can see where this is going, right?
