RECORDING 13: THE FIFTH WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A fifth week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. It's practically routine at this point, isn't it?

Routine, also is the feeling when you wake up - it's clear the Miasma has gotten even thicker. Now everyone is at level 4 - barring the two 'lucky' negators among you, you are all suffering the effects, your eyes flashing a deep, dark purple when experiencing negative emotion.

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 a few hours it will be completely consumed by the miasma and fizzle out. Spells or seals will also give off miasma, and healing is still 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 has taken another dip. It's now in the 50's, and nippy to need a layer or two. As before, the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

17 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.

WEDNESDAY

[foundationmods]

VENTQUEST

[foundationmods]

[This will open at noon EST. All are welcome, but participation carries a risk of death.

Limited to three people. ]

[white_camellia]

[If for some reason people stop by the entryway early morning on Wednesday, they will find.. A curtain, floating around the room, dragging Nanaka's body behind it. Also it may be emitting feelings of confusion and guilt.

On the other hand, during free time, one may be able to see an even more bizarre sight: What appears to be Nanaka hanging from a curtain hanging from a door. Which door? Any door. Do you... want to do something about this?]

[zweivoltage]

Nanaka?!

[He speedily acrosses towards the entryway, looking uncertain, hand on the hilt of his sword, but mostly trying to make sense of what he's seeing]

[white_camellia]

[Oh, it's Ky! Okay, time to greet him... Wait, she doesn't have a mouth anymore. Perhaps psychic communication would work?]

K-n.Ismbfnrthstptthh.. bthng, tms.

[...Or language could be messed up, too. It's probably better to try images? Thankfully she has some experience with that moose... Let's try this again...]

[Image of a coin being flipped, but instead of landing on one of the faces, it lands on its side, and remains stuck there.]

entryway;

[tangentlion]

... Well that's something you don't see every day.

[Sho tugs gently on one of the curtains]

[white_camellia]

[Touching it gets you psychic emotions emanating from it. The big one is a pervading sense of guilt, and a need for redemption. There is some sort of pressure insisting that redemption comes to those who through the curtain, but... Well, Sho's a Reaper from Shibuya. This is clearly mind-affecting stuff, though: Something to lure people feeling those emotions to pass through the curtain.

The left hand kind of... Gently tries to pull Sho away from tugging on the curtains. Please don't touch, crazy artist ghost.]

Master Bath Investigation

[cw_suicide]

[so the master bedroom is full of acid.


... CLEARLY THIS MEANS SOMEONE SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MASTER BATH.

what goodies will be found as he opens the door?]

[finalring]

[ guess who is quite literally THE worst injured patient out there and looking from outside the bathroom. ]

Are you sure the bathroom is safe to look at, Dazai?

[cw_suicide]

[... slowly turns to look at him]

Sensei... are you sure you should be up?

[you're never allowed to judge him for being a bad patient again]

[foundationmods]

[This bathroom is absolutely safe, there is absolutely nothing to be worried about here. :)))))

But yes, it looks like an absolutely normal bathroom. A quick glance will tell them that something is off. There is the slight smell of bleach in the air, and something seems off about one of the shelves, though they will need to look closer to see exactly what it is.

What will they investigate first?]

meeting five

[finalring]

[ after the...investigation in the master bathroom, and as the allotted time for a meeting approaches, romani will be trying to gather people to the living room, as they do every week.

except maybe nanaka, but he still doesn't know how to approach that yet.

and once they're all gathered (nanaka included), he'll be holding the papers he found in the bathroom on his good hand. ]

Alright everyone we have...half an hour that the Vessel allotted us so we'll have to be brief. Dazai and I investigated the master bathroom, and that's where I found more pages from the Spider's diary. Needless to say, they show that we are in an even worse situation than we thought.

[ he'll be allowing anyone to see the pages, but if asked, he can also read them out loud. ]

We know that Agent Turner had considered classifying this as a Keter-type skip, however we may be dealing with something greater than that. If it manages to continue on its path without being contained then it is extremely likely that this may be something that will threaten to destroy all of humanity. In other words, something known as an XK-class scenario.

[cw_suicide]

Lovely how the Foundation severely underestimates the beings they send people out to contain.

[Dazai is still damp from bathroom excursion.]

Master Bedroom is full of acid and webs. It's been sealed off. Apparently acid is coming from the webbing itself. So that's likely how the people outside died.

And I've found a key from the Master Bathroom, if anyone wants to try doors.

[onemolife]

[ ... ]

Why do you smell like bleach?

[ He'll hold his hand out for key. ]

[finalring]

Hindsight twenty-twenty, I guess.

[ he doesn't look too amused by it. ]

That's definitely not how spider webs work...but now that it's powered by a grudge, I suppose that it can pretty much make itself one hundred percent lethal, huh? Especially if it wants to eat human beings....

[zweivoltage]

[His breath catches in his throat.

The grudge of every insect killed by man...]

Oh. This is why they seem to hate Sissel so much.

[white_camellia]

[...Who knows how Nanaka manages to read it. How does she even see? That is a question one cannot answer. Nonetheless, the ceramic right hand takes a notebook, places it on a table, then takes a pen and begins writing on it.]

I suppose that is what we deserve.

[Sorry, she might not be too helpful this time.]

[golden_dream]

...

[stark, ragged breathing as the content of those pages hits...]

[sageking]

[ ...He'll take a look at those pages. ]

I don't doubt your words. After all, it's not the first time a threat like this has come to pass.

[ He can't even be too mad that Romani went and investigated a potentially dangerous place while injured.

...

Okay he still was, but there was time to stare him down and such later. And, wow this did not help with the situation feeling very similar to a previous one at all. It was still different, but. ]

[oxidegreen]

[Going very still at this information.

Nnnnnope. No, no, no, no thank you.

So of course now's the best time for her to get a flashback of exactly why this is all terrible, and she suddenly looks to the side at... nothing, even if she's visibly alarmed.]

[reanimania]

How has it been holding a pen...?

[ Yeah, not the most important issue at hand, but still. ]

All of humanity seems like a bit of a stretch [ and not really his problem ], but... hm. What's this "new child" supposed to be, anyway?

Another thing

[onemolife]

[ He waits until conversation starts to wind down before he shares the next thing. ]
There was something else we found out, but I don't think it's important to figure it out in light of everything else.

Someone has been writing reports on us. The raccoon was using papers he found around the house to build a nest, which included a couple reports.

It's likely just the Foundation wanting to keep up notes on how we do as a team since it is the first time a mission has consisted only of SCP-6350's.

[zweivoltage]

[Ky takes a wrapped object from his lap and lays it out, unwrapping it to show a Knife with an ivory handle and a ruby on the butt of it]

This might not be important, but this was in the Dressing room... after the trap ran its course. It was a strange trap that involved thimbles, a tower of cards, and other things, it looked ridiculously convoluted.

This was embedded in the mirror afterward.

Keyquest 2.0

[onemolife]

[ Meetings and Miasma do not mix. Miasmeetings.

Anyways, now that it's over with, he'll nudge Yachi gently before leading the way towards the newer hallways. ]

Do you have gloves? The key has been in the toilet after all.

[ She doesn't need to touch that. ]

[accessorytomurder]

No... Did, um... did you not wash it...?
