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.

[...Is she still supposed to come by the room, even if she gave Sissel's body away?

Well, she's coming by anyways, after everything has calmed down a little.]

[finalring]

[ well, it’s not necessary, but romani still greets her with a smile, albeit somewhat strained. ]

You did what you could, Nanaka.

[white_camellia]

Still, it is true I endangered everyone by attempting to do so.

[finalring]

At this point, there is no perfect answer. If you hadn’t let go of Sissel, then you would have put your life in danger.

[ he nods. ]

What happened in the phones, though?

[white_camellia]

First, we called the number given by Ango-san. After a bit of struggling, we managed to relay the situation to them in a coded message, whereupon we were placed on hold. Date-san continued saying that he believed it was a trap, and we concluded that it was not worth waiting for the hold to end.

Sissel-san then asked to call his own number, which was supposed to be "a safe number". When it went through, he seemed to be able to transfer through the phone line. He said he is going to make sure that help is on the way, and he will be back here eventually.

Considering the ghosts' reaction, it appears that he did escape. He really did achieve a miracle.

After that, the phone exploded.

[finalring]

Hm... I wonder if there will be a way for us to find out. But if we don’t see him come back as a ghost, then I’ll accept that as a good result.

[ however, he is not the type to count his chicks before they hatch, so he’ll have to keep an eye on the ghosts throughout the week.

as for the rest of it... ]

Oh, Ango had a number written down? [ well wasn’t that useful ] But if the phone exploded, it was probably as the house’s self-defense mechanism. Can’t have anyone communicating with the outside, right? So maybe this was something that the house was trying to keep hidden.
