WEEK 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Karolina and Mulan are dead. The first, and hopefully the last, deaths of your stay here. Hopefully their deaths won't be in vain. Your third week here starts on a solemn note, and the mood here has taken on a significant downward spiral. If it's any consolation (it isn't), you'll find that you have two new floors to explore...even if one of those floors has about twenty STAY OUT signs nailed to it.

23 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{ooc: Don't forget to turn in your week 2 AC! As we're now officially in full murdergame mode, AC from here on out is extended till Thursday.}

I don't... but if you need me to do anything to help... I can do my best.

[thetimebomb]

Well I don't think I need too much help. But I don't think I'm going to get anywhere fast with this, I probably shouldn't put anyone else in danger anyway.

[A pause.]</small. I mean unless you have a good relationship with ghosts or anything.

[chainbroke]

I can't say I do.

[ She looks a little embarrassed. ]

I'm sorry. I think I'm just wasting your time, when you could be working hard at figuring this out.

[thetimebomb]

[Whoa, that's not exactly a reaction she expected.]

Hey there's no need to apologize. This is less "hard work" and more "I'm desperate and tired enough to try anything out"

Besides most of my escape attempts were just "punch a wall and hope something breaks", I can't say I have the best plans in the universe to escape this house.

[chainbroke]

But it was a good try, I'm sure. You've done much more than I have... I'm not strong enough to punch holes in walls, or smart enough to figure out a way to summon ghosts.

So... I think you're doing very well.

[thetimebomb]

Thanks, but you don't have to put yourself down, you know. I'm sure you have a lot of great qualities yourself.

[She would list them but she doesn't know a whole lot about Namine and she's just hoping she didn't put herself into a corner.]

[chainbroke]

... I didn't realize I was putting myself down.

[ At the very least, she looks genuinely surprised, so that's pretty convincing in itself, isn't it?. ]

[thetimebomb]

You... didn't?

[She's not entirely sure she believes it, but she doesn't seem like she's lying.]

Either way, I would hardly call myself "smart" for calling ghosts. Knowing this place I might have accidentally sold my soul to something instead of getting anything useful out of it.

[Not that... she would be against selling her soul to get everyone else out in desperation.]

[chainbroke]

No... [ She frowns. ] That's bad, isn't it?

[ Sylvia doesn't even have to confirm it, though. She knows it is, and... well, she's not too sure how to change that. ]

Oh, no, I hope you haven't. Enough has happened already. [ She pauses. ] Can ghosts really do that?
