Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

[Oh dear. He's not sure if humans really can stay awake for so long, but he is pretty sure it can't be healthy]

So that's the plan...alright. That could be okay... [...not really...] And then what? What'll you do tomorrow?

[Maybe he's being a bit too impatient, but as he sees it Freddie has locked herself into a no-win situation]

[faciliheir]

If the shadows are gone and I'm safe, I'll leave. If they're still here...

[JUMPS, nearly drops the flashlight, fumbles desperately after it.]

Did you see that?!

[bestchefinparis]

[Don't say stuff like that, it gets prey animals alarmed! And indeed, Rémy looks around, as if expecting something to pounce on him]

What? Where?!

[faciliheir]

There! [points at the door

... so actually she's not even seeing things right now something is there. her shadow just sorta. ducked its head in, showing up against the wall despite all the lights. it visibly frightens and ducks back again.]

[bestchefinparis]

[Oh god it's the shadow from right outside!]

Okay, stay calm, take some of those flashlights, and...I don't know! Can't you block the door somehow?!

[He takes one of the flashlights, aiming directly at the entrance. Congratulations, you got Rémy be scared. Way to go, Freddie]

I know they're shadows but there must be something else you can do!

[faciliheir]

Lights will keep them away! [but she kinda seems slightly. uncertain about that right now.] As long as the lights are on, they can't get in! So, even when they tell you to turn them off, that's the last thing you wanna do!

[bestchefinparis]

Not turning off the lights, I get it!

[Well this won't be a fun night for anyone]

Tell me this kind of thing doesn't happen often to you.

[faciliheir]

Well, it's never actively wanted me dead 'til today, but it has always been kind of a jerk. Whatever evil is outside must've made it go crazy or something.

[bestchefinparis]

Great! As if everything wasn't bad enough already!

[This is not what Kim meant by allowing people to go outside, Randall! Psychotic shadows aren't something this place needs!]

[faciliheir]

I know! And that's not even including the fact that I'm hallucinating seeing pretty much everyone I've ever met like nobody's business! [see she recognizes that something is wrong and nothing is there

except the shadows

they are real and will kill her.]

[bestchefinparis]

It's as if they always manage to find the best way to--wait, what?

[He turns his head. What was that, again?]

[faciliheir]

Yeah, ever since I went outside? I've been seeing and hearing some wild stuff. I've actually had CJ whispering at me to kill you for the past, oh, five minutes?

[but CJ likes rats anyway so she figured it was best to ignore that suggestion.]

[bestchefinparis]

[Rémy blinks. So his options are to be near a shadow that may or may not be hella dangerous, and a girl who is being told to kill him.

How did he get in this mess, he just wanted to check on Freddie, where did he take a wrong turn]

...oh hey, what a problem, I suddenly remember I have to...check the oven. Left the soufflé in there.

[He starts inching towards a wall, the one with the most light. Looks like he decided to settle for the middle point between both options]
