Week 7

[grimgrinningghosts]

[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]

[faciliheir]

[no

but no one responsible seems to be around so this burden falls on freddie's shoulders.

just fuckin walks into the room without announcing herself at all.]

[nachosquire]

[THERES A DEAD BODY IN THERE---


Okay, no. But Marco's not in there which honestly makes this kind of weirder. Left on his desk is his notepad which he usually has on his person at all time, and it's flipped open to a page. Y'know. If you wanna snoop around his personal journal a lil bit.]

[faciliheir]

[HELL YEAH SHE WANTS TO SNOOP THIS IS SOME PRIMO BLACKMAIL MATERIAL let's just go read that shit]

[nachosquire]

[um wow youre lucky i cant have it magically float over to leia instead how rude

Anyway, the earlier pages are his thoughts on everyone in the manor which you can definitely use for blackmail later, but the page it's open to it's notes about something else. Written in nice clean cursive writing:

"I know the outside is dangerous, and I know Lekmet told me it's worse than those pink elephants but before her execution, Kim whispered something to me that's been on my mind ever since. "We're in a place called the Other Side, and Randall's afraid of the shadows too." The outside is the only place where the shadows seem to be, freely, so I'm investigating them. I need to learn more about Randall if I want to save everyone, and that includes learning more about these freaky shadow things too. I'll log everything when I get back, cause I don't want to chance losing my notebook out there since y'know. It's full of all this junk I've been writing since I got here. That would Suck.

Anyway, wish me luck.

Actually forget I wrote that last part, I don't want to jinx myself here or something!"

So. There's that.]

[faciliheir]

... Actually, scratch that, he's totally dead.

BOOKING IT THE FUCK TOWARDS THE GODDAMN DOOR]

[hasit]

Oh kr—

[Leia's been reading over Freddie's shoulder and MMMM MARCO

She's hot on Freddie's heels, surprisingly fast for someone her age.]

[faciliheir]

[honestly she's barely even thinking at this point. which is probably why when she gets to the front door, she slams that thing open and jumps out on the steps and cups her hands over her mouth and--]

MARCO!

[hasit]

If he's gotten himself killed I'm going to wring his skinny neck—

[She's avoided going outside the door as of yet, but fuck it, she's out here now, scanning that impenetrable darkness for any sign of a red hoodie.]

NOW IN THE RIGHT PLACE

[nachosquire]

[Well....

When the two of them actually get outside they'll first notice that it's eerily quiet. You'd expect to see Marco out there, muttering to himself or something but that's not the case at all. At first glance, no one's out there. No red hoodie or nothin'. It's just blackness in every corner except....


Well. There's a photo on the ground a few feet ahead.]

[faciliheir]

[alright, scooping that picture up, continuing her incredibly ill-advised and poorly thought-out full-on sprint into the shadows.]

MARCO, YOU LITTLE SHIT, WHERE ARE YOU?

[hasit]

Freddie, wait—

[mmmm why are all these children Like This

Guess she has no choice but to follow!!!]

MARCO, GET BACK HERE!

[nachosquire]

[Luckily for them they don't have to look too far.

Because it's not long at all during that sprinting that Freddie will step into something... wet which in retrospect she might not notice bc shoes but anyway, though it's dark as shit out here if she happens to look down she'll be able to see a tint of red to this mysterious liquid.


There's a nice trail of it but I wouldn't follow it if I were you.]

[faciliheir]

[ahahaha this. this is why you don't care. this is exactly why you don't do that. why has she not learned this lesson already.

... she can't leave him out here.

she swallows hard and follows the fucking trail.]

[hasit]

[It might be dark, but when Freddie pauses like that, her eye is drawn downward, and she feels the blood drain out of her face.

She's following, and she's got a hand on Freddie's shoulder. Just in case. It's dark enough that getting separated is a real fear, here.]

[nachosquire]

[I warned you.


Following the small trail of blood will lead them to an even bigger puddle of it, pooled around someone laying on the ground. Of course, the person being Marco-- but it looks like he's seen better days.

The entire left side of his body looks as though it's been ripped off of him, save for his face. His right arm is bent at an awkward angle as if it's been broken, and his face is covered in scratches all over. There's something off about how his body was mangled, though. The tears almost look like teeth marks, like someone just took a huge bite right out of him.

He's also notably not wearing his hoodie, but Hiro's. That's not important I just wanted to let r down one last time.

Either way, Marco Diaz is most certainly dead.]

[faciliheir]

[. . .

real villains don't real villains don't real villains don't]

... W... We need to get back inside. Now.

hi mind if i just stay inside and Be Worried at y'all

[not_over_yet]

[ There's a mouse passing through the foyer and suddenly! THIS BULLSHIT.

What the fuck. Why are people dashing outside.

Oh, they're. Apparently chasing Marco. Fuckfuckfuck why is everyone here so stupid. ]

Gen--Leia, wait!

[ At least Freddie knows wtf those shadow things are?? ...And given the shadow things' record of killing Faciliers, maybe that's not good, actually,,

Gonna just. hover in the doorway. He's too small to drag either of them back in. ]

Both of you get back here!

[hasit]

[sorry bud, but Space Mom is also Action Mom and one of her kids is in danger!!!]

[not_over_yet]

[ HE WOULD HELP but smol

why must he be smol while y'all not


Maybe if people get lost but not-dead he can guide them back to the door via shouting?? FRET FRET F R E T ]

[stanbyme]

What’s all the yelling about?

[He’s coming down the stairs and everyone is yelling and the door’s open???]

[not_over_yet]

All the goddamn humans keep running outside, there's three now?!

[ HELP ]

[stanbyme]

What?! Who?

[hasit]

[Leia just happens to see Freddie going into Marco's room, and, well. She doesn't distrust Freddie, but she doesn't exactly trust her, either. So she follows cautiously, hovering in the doorway.]

Everything okay in here?

[faciliheir]

Nobody's dead.

[she says, clearly reading Marco's shit.]

[hasit]

...Well, good. What's that?

[Why are you snooping???]
