Week 7

[Well this is all starting to feel incredibly routine. After being trapped here for a month and a half with no sign of rescue, maybe you have just resigned to the idea that you'll never leave this place and that people will keep dying until none of you're are left.

Truthfully, I can't even pretend to make an optimistic about any of this. it's a dark and horrid world you all live in.

There are no new floors today. It seems you finally have access to the whole mansion.

15 people remain]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

....that bad?

[Marco looks surprised at Lekmet's sudden outburst, and he looks back over to the door.]

What if I step out for like, five minutes? Ten minutes, tops.

It's like someone cranked up the pink elephants to eleven out of ten, I am not joking.

[MMMMMM BOY]

If you really, really have to I'd say a minute, hell even five seconds. I'd rather you not at all, but I'm not going out there again to stop you anytime soon-.

[The last bit was super quiet, but boy does the Outside set him off]

[Marco's gaze towards the door lingers a second, before he turns his attention back to the goatman in front of him.]

It's not like I have to go out there, I'm just curious. It's the only place I haven't been to yet... but it sounds like it's for the best.

[He definitely doesn't want to relive anything similar to the pink elephant incident.]

[Those darn visions definitely did a toll on his judgement, but he's keeping it together.]

I mean- I can open the door. It's nothing but void and cold out there. It shouldn't affect you if you're still inside.

[The whispers are starting up again, heard only by him, but Lekmet ignores it.]

No, no it's okay Lekmet. You don't have to do that.

[HE DOESNT WANT YOU TO LIKE FREAK OUT OR SOMETHING]

If I really get curious I can just peek out the door myself.

If you're sure.

[Goatdad will not hesitate to risk himself again, honestly. He and Soos barricaded that door some weeks back, but it's probably cleared long before he noticed.]

Make sure you put on a jacket or something if you peek- It seems underwhelming at first but it's awful cold!

Will do.

[Marco gives Lekmet a small, thankful smile for the advice and he idly plays with one of the drawstrings on his hoodie.]

So... I don't think I really apologized for how I acted during the last trial. I was honestly freaking out at the idea of being a suspect and wasn't thinking clearly, so.. yeah. I'm sorry I snapped at you and then also... accused... you of murder......

Hey, I ended up being a suspect as well, it evens out.

[Laughs awkwardly in attempt to be reassuring.]

It's probably the one reason Glossaryck didn't want me to speak- I get carried away with evidence and trial sometimes. Aaand there's the whole Negaduck thing.

[This murderhouse loves to bring out the Worst]

I mean... it's not easy making friends with people and then seeing them die. Over and.. over. And over.

[it's fine though we have a good time here]

I don't really blame you for getting carried away, honestly.

The worst part of all of this is whoever running this, brings in really young kids to die.

[Adult Fear ramped up to a thousand, especially with Jane's...jesus christ.]

I'm starting to lose faith in that Rod guy. How much longer til those sick bastards are satisfied? ...At least the dead are oddly safe, somewhere.

Yeah, safe until Hades figures out a way to steal their souls.

[The more time ticks on by, the more nervous Marco gets honestly.]

I'm kinda losing faith in him too, honestly. That's why I'm trying to just figure out as much as I can about this place, I'm tired of just sitting around and waiting as more of our friends die.

[He doesn't know what he'd do if Hiro died at this point, honestly.]

I'm still trying to find any magical loopholes. The...wand kit had still works, which I presume he got it from the slot machine.

Even though I can't bring back the dead, my own powers are still here and I'm not dust yet.

[He's gonna keep brainstorming.]

...On a scale of one to ten, how bad of an idea would it be to sneak into Randall's room? To break any kind of magical barrier?

HmmmMmmmm i'd say around 1000.

[Marco looks at Lekmet sternly.]

Randall isn't someone we should take lightly like, at all. He killed Molly just the other day-- and you're already on his watchlist for breaking one of his precious "rules"!

W-We could just look around! Sure, it's trespassing, but it's not against the rules.

[He is gonna find Every loophole.]

Wait, I think someone's done that before, but it can't hurt to check again-?

[What the hell goatman, take a nap.]

Lekmet, no.

[The teen folds his arms over his chest, not budging on the subject.]

We need to conserve our numbers and I'm already having nightmares about Randall crushing me to death with that mallet, I don't need it to become reality.

That's...fair.

There's got to be some way we can do something to get out of here without waiting for more of us to get killed off. What are we missing...?

[He murmurs something about exploring every inch of the place, any secret passageways. Randy's got to have a weakness that isn't risking Hades. Something about Minnie and a Toon.]

I don't know.

[Marco sighs, and he moves to take a seat on one of the chairs in the foyer which I think are a thing I have no idea actually.]

But it's not worth getting ourselves killed over if we're trying not to get any more of us killed.

We're just going in circles at this point. If this game's rigged for us to lose, why wouldn't they just-

[Nope, no, time to backtrack and not even think about That.]

It seems counterproductive for a blood ritual.

[Sometimes we gotta bullshit our way through magic til we make it]

Yeah that's the thing I don't get! Why bother with making us go through all of this in the first place if they just want our blood or our souls or whatever!

[IT'S SO FRUSTRATING GOATDAD]

There has to be like, something stopping them from killing all of us at once. Something important...

Something that's enough to cause Hades' intervention. Maybe something even stronger than him.

[Maybe they just didn't want a repeat of whatever that Buck Cuck guy did.]

Think our hosts might just be puppets for someone else? They don't seem exempt from punishments either.

Honestly....

[Marco looks over his shoulder, then over the other one to make sure there's no one around and he drops his voice down low.]

I think I might have some evidence to back that theory up.

...Shoot.

[He's listening. If anyone else shows up, he'll give them a stern 'Get out' look.]

I'm all ears

Welllllll.... Randy's listening.

[Marco says that with an apologetic look.]

And I think I wanna like, investigate it some more before telling anyone about it just yet but I promise I'm this close to a breakthrough!

I believe in you, kid. We could change everything with it.

[...Glances around, at wherever Randy might be spying or listening]

Fuck off, Randy.

...Yeah, heck Randy.

[he's sworn twice already thats enough for his rebellious teenage self]
