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?

...

[She writes out, carefully:

"No... but you realize by your own criteria, you would be the best leader, Your Highness?"]

[ ...

Gilgamesh wondered if that was her true intention all along. Look, he couldn't not think so, and he let out a laugh. ]

That I would.

And as expected, there are many who seem to be of the same mind as well. I suppose it's something I may need to consider if we actually do end up going in the direction of choosing a leader. Until then, my original stance still stands.

[She nods, thinking... how best to phrase her response.

Then she writes:

"I understand. I don't disagree. But the way I see it... I would want a leader who would follow the rules, so to speak. Rules that we decided. Your Highness is the type he doesn't follow the rules: he is the rules.

But it seems to me that although we may not end up with a leader this week, we may next week."]

[ Gilgamesh considered this, smirk evident on his face.

He didn't even think she was wrong at all. Even if he was aware that there was some ego-stroking here, he never really minded when that happened. ]

It's likely that could be the case. As we get closer to the source of all this, it'd make sense for us to eventually decide upon a leader, even if I'd certainly wouldn't advocate for us to have one now.

By this time next week, we should at the very least have more information that may make it possible for us to put together a plan.

[ An ideal situation/scenario for sure. But, there's been a pattern, and with Date's provided information putting a possible target on the map...and Romani's declaration, he didn't see why it would be impossible? ]
