Week 4

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two more people died this week. Two children. And they died because of a freak accident. Despite all your protests, Randall refused to let Jane get away despite being innocent.

But there is a tiny ray of hope now, which comes in the form of the mirror. Now that the mirror is public information, you can see people you care about, even if they are dead and trapped in hell. Not only that, but you now now that someone is trying to save you all from the predicament that you're in. And this time there's a good chance that he won't turn out to be a heartless mass murderer!

Still, the ideas for the plan are vague and you have no idea when you will actually get out. It's hard to keep up hope when your only chance of living might still end with you horribly killed, isn't it?

At least you have a new floor and the ability to wash your clothes now.

26 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

...There might also be someone new threadjacking some toplevels this week too. If you want to opt out of this, just let us know!\

Laundry room

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[There's her fellow good rodent. Not like these (mostly) smelly humans.]

Ahh. Nothing like the smell and feel of fresh laundry.

[lovelylilmouse]

Squirrel Girl!

[She finishes putting in her load into the washing machine and smiles.]

I know, right? It’s about time. I was starting to run out of clean clothes.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Eyyyyyyy, Mins. [There's a brief flash of something on her face but her natural smile emerges pretty quick.]

Tell me about it. There's only so long you can rock an outfit before it feels funky.

[lovelylilmouse]

I know...

[She sighs, and finds herself staring up towards her for a few seconds with a tiny look of concern.]

Are... are you holding up okay?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

...I'm not sure. I've been kind of avoiding thinking about it. Or think about anything really. I've just been walking and working a lot.

[She examines one of the laundry room detergents for a moment.]

...Is it weird to- ah, never mind.

[lovelylilmouse]

Oh...you shouldn't be doing that. That's not good for you. It's fine to show a little bit of emotion when you're in a situation like this.

[She sits down on one of the chairs in the laundry room, putting her cheek in her hand as she watches the washing machine for a few seconds.]

It's...weird to what?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

I suppose. Its easier in the moment to keep it stuffed down.

[She purses her lips thoughtfully. Mins is good and trustworthy and not human. But she's still reluctant to burden her down.]

Is it weird to find... silence scary?

[lovelylilmouse]

No, not at all.

[She looks up at her, the same look of concern not leaving her face.]

Silence can be real scary, it's hard to not be anxious when there's nothing happening.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Yeah. Yeah! You get it! [Weirdly relieved about this.]

Its just so maddening! Who wants to listen to those dumb-dumb thoughts!

[lovelylilmouse]

Me, that's for sure...

[There's been a lot on Minnie's mind since the trial, but she's not sure if now would be a good time to mention it or not.]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[....

She hops up on one of the machines, swinging her legs.]

I suppose it would be bad to just keep them swirling around. There's only so many times you can dump something into a washing machine before there's some stains you gotta scrub out by hand, right?

[lovelylilmouse]

You make a point...

[She glances up towards her, but gives her a faint smile. She finds herself kicking her legs, as well, and takes the time to adjust her hat just a teensy bit.]

We're gonna make it out of here, though. I'm sure we will. Everything sucks, but I have that faith...
