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.

Basically you're just expelling the spirit out of the body. I know more about harae than I know about Christian exorcisms, though. . . and I was thinking that since there's a chapel, it's probably leaning towards the latter?

But if it's similar, harae basically is used for purification of sins and uncleanness. It usually involved symbolic washing with water and then the priest uses an onusa or haraegushi over the person who needs to be exorcised? Something like that.

[ That sure sounds like a process to him, but he's definitely listening and doing his best to understand. ]

Expelling the spirit...

[ ... ]

Purification? So, an 'onusa' or 'haraegushi' has some kind of light magic?

[dereban]

I mean. . . maybe? The harae stems from the myth of the brother of the Sun goddess. . . Susano-o. But I honestly could not tell you.

[ Roxas continues to give it some thought, but then shakes his head with a smile. ]

That's alright, just knowing this much helps. And even if we don't have the things we need for a "traditional" exorcism, I think we can find another way to make it happen.

[dereban]

Yeah.

We'll just need to figure it out, somehow.

[13thpromise]

And we will.

[ He's sure of that. ]

We can check for books to look over in the library...and think about other alternatives that can purify things too.
