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.

[Why can't they have nice things, house! WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE NICE THINGS!!]

I'm just doing my part. That's what it means to work on a team, isn't it?

[sageking]

[ Because the house was a r00d butt. ]

Naturally. And of course just by making myself present and discussing such 'work', you can consider it part of teamwork as well.

[ Actually that's going to come a little later when he went monster hunting but you know ]

[oxidegreen]

Yes. We are being very productive teammates right now.

[Deadpan.]

[sageking]

Perhaps we should give ourselves a round of applause?

[oxidegreen]

[Tilting her head a little.]

That might not be a good idea. We might summon someone troublesome.

[sageking]

[ He'll shake his head, slightly amused. ]

You've no need for concern; I merely make these words in a light jest.

I'm not in the mood to entertain unwanted company, after all.

[oxidegreen]

It's the same for me in both cases.

[She's just. Bad at this joking thing.]

How have you been doing in all of this, Sir Gilgamesh?

[sageking]

Oh?

[ Well, he won't be bothered by it nonetheless ]

If I were to say 'well', you and I would know it to be a lie. But, saying 'poorly' wouldn't exactly be the truth either. For that term, I'll leave it to our ghosts.

At this time 'good enough' will do just fine for me. Naturally, I'll ask the same of you.

[oxidegreen]

...I am not experiencing bad memories right now. So "good enough" is probably the same for me as well.

[sageking]

I suppose some of the others would say the very same. While some mentioning something about the necessity or desire of a pay raise.

[oxidegreen]

I am still not very familiar with this country's money, but I am very certain we are not being paid enough for this.

[But then again she was often stiffed in her own world anyway, so that's nothing new.]

[sageking]

Clearly not. We should've been paid in almost an infinite amount of gold.

[ That's unreasonable. But also their situation was unreasonable...he was also not used to not being paid as he should be, given. Y'know. King. ]

[oxidegreen]

People can be surprisingly stingy about paying you for risking your life for them.

[sageking]

Oh? It appears you're speaking from an experience of some sort.

[ Even if it's well-known people could be stingy with money. ]

[oxidegreen]

Yes. People often came up with excuses not to give me full pay for the work I did as a Chroma.

[Sometimes it be like that.]
