Week 1

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well that was a busy day, huh? But despite all that, a good majority of you are reasonable people, and are smart enough to find an escape without resorting to deadly violence. Maybe if you put your heads together, you'll find a way to get out of here! After all, the host is practically in shambles already, what can he do?

The whole first floor of the manor is open for your leasure now, with the only change being that there's now a set of rules in the foyer hanging on the wall.

Let the games begin.]

[MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY]

casino

[faciliheir]

[this casino is basically her home now so if she just wants to perch on the roulette wheel nobody can tell her otherwise.]

I'm thinking of taking bets on how long it'll take before you guys stop looking around for ways out, like one's just gonna magically appear if you look in just the right corner.

[sorrydoods]

[Sigh. This girl. Soos was feeling sad for her at first, but not anymore.]

Well, I want me and my friends out this place as soon as possible, without anyone dying, so...what do you expect, really? I just randomly try to stab someone or something?

[faciliheir]

Not randomly. If you pick the wrong person, you'll be the one shedding blood. You have to figure out who the weakest links are. [this is literally what she expects.]

[sorrydoods]

I'm never going to kill anyone. I don't want anyone here to die. Please get that through you're head, and you're dad's too, or whatever he is to you.

[He's quickly losing patience for both of you.]

[faciliheir]

It doesn't matter what you wanna do, big boy. People are gonna die. Whether it's because they got desperate, or the spirits get involved, or they just plain ol' feel like killing-- it's gonna happen.

Listen. Dad or no dad, I'm not exempt from playing this game; I'm here in the thick of it along with the rest of you. I'm not all keen on taking lives, but I don't plan on losing mine, either. It's time to get real about our situation; only then are you really gonna find your way out.

[sorrydoods]

Yeah, well, think about this! What do you think is going to happen once you get out of here? That you're just going to get away with murder? Someone will end up finding out, or we'll get out on our own, and then you'll go to jail, or anyone who ends up killing will. Even if you think it won't, there's still a chance, and we'll be fighting for that chance every time we can. Now how about you just SHUT UP and LEAVE. ME. ALONE!

[You have struck several nerves there, Freddie.]

[faciliheir]

Cute. You're new to this whole thing, aren't you? You have to be, if you think any of this ends with people in jail.

Now, really listen, because I'm not talking for my health. I'm not killing anybody here, unless it's self-defense. I have people I'm going back home to, and I have dreams I have to make real, and I have real experience with the price spirits ask. So, take a breath and calm your righteous little self down. I don't usually give my amazing advice for free.

[sorrydoods]

[He is still hating her, but...he does take a couple of deep breaths before saying anything.]

I'm sorry, but...I can't just give up hope and say that the only way out of here is to kill people. There's gotta be a way out that isn't that. I hate the idea of that happening, especially when my friends are here. That's why I just can't give up. Not yet, at least.

[faciliheir]

The way out of here is over bodies-- of my father, at least. [sounds incredibly calm about this?] How many more we have to crawl over is entirely up to the people around us.

You remember what you learned yesterday, right? This has happened two times before this-- now, what are the chances that nobody made it out of either of those? Somebody always survives. There's definitely some heroes rattling around out there, getting ready to take down the Big Bad.

[sorrydoods]

Well, I want this to to be the time it goes wrong. Where no one dies and we're all the heroes trying to take down this big bad villain. I don't want anyone here to die, good or bad aside. Even if the odds aren't the best, I still wanna try.

After all, this isn't the first time the odds haven't been in my favor.

[faciliheir]

You're gonna feel soooo bad when you're wrong. [shes into it]

You do what you wanna do, man. And, hey, maybe you'll prove me wrong. I mean, you won't, but it'd sure be nice to think about, wouldn't it?

[sorrydoods]

[sigh]

I will. I know I will. See you later...um...

[Name, name, what was her name?]

Freddie?

[faciliheir]

Got it in one. See you 'round the place, Jesús.

[sorrydoods]

Right. And most people just call me Soos.

[And just like that, he's gone.]
