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.

[ AND MY KNIFE-BAT!! ]

[white_camellia]

[...Oh, right. She knew she forgot something. She'll transform and bring her hands to her swords.]

I assume you all heard it as well, then?

1/2

[foundationmods]

[As you approach the entryway, there's the definite sound of snorting, and something...stomping?

You all hold your breath as you open the door...]

[foundationmods]

[







Why is there a moose in the entryway?]

[white_camellia]

It's... a moose? What is it doing here?

[...Can it even fit through the door?]

[zweivoltage]

What is an elk doing here?

[He whispered at about the same time. Let's... observe it for now?]

[soupervillain]

...Think it's friendly?

[ Giovanni has no idea how to deal with mooses. Meese? Do they like soup?? ]

[foundationmods]

[.....

Are you making it soup, Giovanni?

It's just staring impassively at all of them.]

[white_camellia]

...I'm going to try something. I have no idea if this will work, though.

[She'll... try to psychically communicate with the moose? She has no idea if this will work, but I mean... Kyubey was an alien, and he could communicate this way, right?]

Excuse me, sir? May I ask what brought you here?

[foundationmods]

[Well, she gets two things. One is...

incomprehensible???

The other is a sense of minor irritation and waiting.]

[white_camellia]

[...Okay, what the heck was that first thing. But okay, let's see...]

There's something else there, but it seems to be... waiting for something? And also a bit irritated. I think it might be better if I focus on emotions and images.

[This time she's focusing primarily on feelings. Curiosity. What is it waiting for?]

[foundationmods]

[Somehow, Nanaka gets the feeling of something small and furry.

There's a moment as it attempts to take a step forward, seeming to focus more on the surroundings -

and then she will get a direct hit of anger, though it's more aimed at the surroundings.]

[white_camellia]

...It seems to be waiting for... something small and furry? It also seems to be angry at the house itself.

[So the moose knows there's something weird about this place, at least.]

Is there... anything else we should ask it?

[zweivoltage]

...I'm guessing the Raccoon. Oh god, Subete might have screwed us over again.

[He just blanches]

Is there a way for ...him? to tell us how he got in here?

[white_camellia]

...That may a bit difficult, but I will try.

[How does one express a question of how... Still, this may also work as a potential way out, so it's worth trying, at least.]

[Curiosity, hope. Image of the door being closed, and being unable to open or pass through it. Image of empty room, and then image of moose in room. Questioning?]

[foundationmods]

[The moose looks down at them all, impassively.

Before it lifts it's head and turns it to the side -

And an antler just clips right on through the wall, as if it wasn't really there.]

[soupervillain]

...Ghost moose? Ghost moose. Why not.

[zweivoltage]

...

That explains things.

[He picks up the radio to call to the others]

[white_camellia]

Either way, the walls do not seem to be able to contain that moose.

Are there any other questions we should ask while it is here?

[soupervillain]

That's not a sentence I really thought I was ever going to hear when we started this mission.

You could ask if it's hungry?

[white_camellia]

Should I ask it if it would like some soup, then?

[soupervillain]

...It's like you're psychic or something.

[white_camellia]

[She laughs a bit at that, actually.]

Then, I shall try it.

[Helpfulness. Hungry? Image of Gio's soup. Image of moose eating soup?]

[foundationmods]

[There's a feeling of bafflement, before it slowly...nods?

Sure. Why not.]

[white_camellia]

...He seems to be fine with this, though a bit confused. Go ahead, Giovanni-san.
