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.}

[Wander hadn't spoken to Elsa much, he had good conversations with her and Anna, they were wonderful people. It make her death all much worse. Just by standing next to Elsa, he could feel the grief radiating from her body, the sorrow that comes from losing family. He wanted to shake and cry alongside her.

Sometimes he wishes he wasn't so darn empathetic.

And he wishes he knew how to fix this.

He doesn't know what to say apart from apologizing and giving Elsa a hug, but the apology is for both sisters. An apology for pain and an apology for not going inside the attic first. This could have been prevented.

For all he can do, Wander sits beside Elsa, watching her with sad eyes and waiting until she speaks up or he can think of something better to say than "I'm sorry". He could just sit here forever and offer Elsa his presence.]

[She... appreciates it a lot, actually. She knows the others are just trying tp help, and she appreciates that at least, but... the words just seem ao empty. She can't accept any of it.

But just the feeling of another's presence is good. It helps anchor her a bit, to keep her from completely drowning in her grief.

Even so... she doesn't want anyone hanging around an uncomfortable situation for her sake, so after a few moments, she speaks up in that same quiet, defeated tone.]

You don't have to stay here for me.

[He shakes his head. He knows from experience that when someone says he doesn't have to do anything, they actually need him and either deny or don't want to cause trouble. And if Elsa does want him to leave? Then he'll be glad to help despite how abandoning her will tear at his heart.]

I'm fine. I don't want you to be alone, that's all.

[What is worse than feeling helpless is being alone and helpless. Elsa shouldn't have to go through this alone.]

Is there anythin' I can do? A hug? Talkin'?
