thefoundation | WEEK 3 MINGLE

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

Huh, guess everyone's got a piece?

[He puts his piece down]

...Yeah.

[ Follows along, putting one down too. ]

[hmm... she places hers down? as well?]

What do you think this is going to show?

I'm not really sure, but it could be something helpful, I hope?

[ ...It'd be nice, wouldn't it? They really need all the help that they can get. ]

[her eyes widen when she sees the message]

That's... helpful...

[ Ah... so do his. ]

... It is. The question is, how do we do it?

[ Exorcise... huh? He's definitely going to start wondering. ]

That's actually good news.

[But how? is the next question]

Well the Barghest isn't a Japanese monster, so maybe. . . some sort of Catholic or Christian exorcism? Do they even have those?

[ DO WE ALL NEED JESUS ]

Edited (sorry for the triple edit omg) 2018-12-13 16:55 (UTC)

I-It reminded me of, um... old horror movies.

[she's not an expert. and horror movies are... hard for her]

So, maybe...?

. . . maybe I should have asked for a bunch of horror movies before the Staff started getting even more crazy. I don't really remember much of how the exorcism works in those movies.

...Does it have to be some kind of "Catholic or Christian exorcism"?

[ Not that he knows what Catholic/Christian even is. ]

Nnnno?

I mean, it's the first thing that came to mind. I know Shinto has a way, but maybe if the Barghest can be exorcised, the Jorogumo can too? Maybe they have different exorcist methods based on their legends...?

Do we know if it has to be something from Earth at all? I'm pretty sure Troit-san said she was doing something like that where she came from, but I don't think she came from anywhere on Earth I've ever heard of.

[ SHRUGS HER SHOULDERS ]

Hell if I know. I mean, if the monsters come from Earth myths, then it'd make sense that stuff from Earth might be the answer, but you know. It could also not be? Probably for the best that we don't make assumptions, but we can at least try any and all ideas.

[ YEETS THE PUZZLE-- except no, she's just putting it down ]

Guess we all do. I hope everyone does put this all together, though.

[DON'T YEET THE PUZZLE

Minato's also putting his piece down, though.]

If it's a piece each, it can't be a very difficult puzzle.

[Which is a relief.]

Yeah, it probably isn't, which is a relief.

Are you good at puzzles, Arisato? [ genuine curiosity ]

I'm probably...average at them?

I like them okay. It's nice to have a quiet activity to do sometimes.

[But they're not his favorite thing in the world, either.]

What about you?

I'm pretty good at puzzles. These aren't my favorite type of puzzles... I prefer logic puzzles, but they're alright.

Mm, yeah, that doesn't actually surprise me... well, when we have all of the pieces, help us put it together, okay?

Yup! [ Putting her piece down ]

I do, yes.

[ places his down ]

[ warily hands owain his puzzle piece. ]

[ giving him a soft smile as he takes the piece and places it down as well ]

And here is Gerome's.

[ Anthy gives her piece to Chu-Chu, and he jumps right into the puzzle and heroically SLAMS THE PIECE INTO PLACE. ]
