RECORDING 16: THE FINAL WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A sixth week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. It's feeling more and more like something's about to break.

There isn't any increase in Miasma, but you can tell it seems...excited. Overjoyed, like a predator bracing itself for the chase of the hunt. The fog is everywhere, and inescapable...

The Temperature is holding stead at 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.

13 of your number still remain.

...How will this all end...?

MIASMA LEVEL: 4

[ He laughs again though this time there's more substance to it, that hollow quality still present but with a trace of actual mirth, sharpened like an edge. So this is an agreement then, and as Hikage proved last weekend, he's pretty good at being patient.

A nod of his own; either he doesn't want to give a verbal an answer or can't. Or maybe he's just being Hikage. ]

When it's over show me that face again too, I'm growing fond of it. [ And then he'll leave, walking straight through the damn wall, a flourish of his cape as he does so. Being dead really is great for being even more dramatic and ridiculous. ]

Almost as soon as Hikage has disappeared through the wall, Saphir slumps down against the side of the chair and sobs. He's hurt and scared and the more rational side of him knows how unlikely it is that he's actually going to get out of this alive and how much worse he might have just made things for himself. But he won't consider what he said a lie, either, and he's more adamant about it now than ever. He's going to do everything he can to get out of this and no one will be able to say otherwise.

He stays there for a few moments longer until his tears subside and his breathing steadies, and then his shaky hand clenches into a fist at his side. Snatching up his broken necklace from the floor, he stands up straight, and he heads back through the winding hall to his room. ]
