RECORDING 10: THE FOURTH WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. The last trial took it's toll, along with the death of an innocent person - executed at behest of the rules of this game.

When you wake up - it's clear the Miasma has yet again gotten thicker. Everyone, including those who were divinely protected until this week, are now even more deeply affected by the curse - though those who possess nullification powers are still safe. Arguments will be flaring up more, along with negative thoughts and feelings...and even more worrying is now that occasional flashes of bad memories will come to the forefront.

Any magic that touches the house itself will corrode over time, just like last week. 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 now healing has been drastically reduced to even the most powerful of spells only healing minor injuries.

You will not be able to save a grievously injured person from death through spells anymore.

The Temperature still remains in about the 60's, thankfully - though it is staying on the 'lower' end of the scale. As before, the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

21 of your number still remain.

...What new horrors await you this week?

[ It was a different sight he saw from when the man had ended up training in the greenhouse...somehow it looked more refined. ]

Oh? What's spurred on the motivation behind all of this?

[ And in front of the ghosts, no less. Though once again, there was merit to keeping oneself in shape for a mortal...this seemed different than just normal practice. ]

[He slides into a half-slash, holding close as he glances back at the sound of Gilgamesh's voice]

I needed to focus.

[The darker blue lightning dissipates]

My head was getting too clouded over the weekend.

[sageking]

Hmph, reasonable I suppose.

[ This weekend was...a total and complete shitshow, so how could he not give him that. ]

...It also appears that the color of your lightning has changed.

[ And he kind of doubted it was intentional, judging by the kind of hint of indigo in there. Unless Ky wanted to try to assert as much. ]

[zweivoltage]

So you noticed.

[He held a hand up, little a small spark dance across the palm of his hand]

I'm starting to think it's now affecting all magic, not just the healing spells.

[sageking]

Such is the nature of this corruption.

[ He could feel the disgusting miasma as if it were even more far too close for comfort than it already was before. It was an affront to him on multiple levels. ]

...I see also no point in hiding the fact that this accursed place has finally delivered on the promise of producing an effect upon my person. As time goes on, that will be evident, just as much as it will likely be with other's abilities as well besides your own.

[zweivoltage]

[He frowns at the mention of Gilgamesh being affected, the emotion just highlighting the haggardness of his face]

There's something about how my magic feels - it's somehow heavier and wilder than it should be. I cannot completely trust if this is true or my perceptions being colored by the miasma.

[sageking]

[ Yeah it's not good news, but this was a topic in which it would not do them any good to keep to himself. He wasn't so blinded by his ego to assume that it would not produce an adverse effect. ]

I believe it is both.

The miasma is, at its core, a form of corruption. It distorts, twists, and perverts everything it can touch or influence. Thereby affecting you, it affects what is channeled by you, because in the end, you are linked to your magic. There is no degree of separation.
