WEEK 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Another week has come and gone, and three more people are dead. Nearly half of the guests are dead in a little over a month. The ghosts are still not reacting, and with Demyx's execution one has to wonder if the ghosts are even here anymore.

In the very least one more floor has been opened up: the trophy room, a shooting gallery, and a bathing room.

... Maybe keep Kiara out of the trophy room.

14 guests remain.]

[ SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY ]

This is Hades. Ruler of the Underworld.

[His voice is a little ominous, mind you, but it's more in the way that he's speaking about someone dangerous.]

...Now, if there's one God you don't want to get steamed up, it's Hades. Despite being the ruler of the Underworld, he finds the spirits down there...dull and uncouth. He's as mean as he is ruthless, and is a notorious schemer.

And that's the gospel truth.

[Hades? Is this the same one that Demyx had been talking about? She can see why he didn't want to deal with that god, with a look like that...]

So the god of the underworld has our friends... [Geez, that makes their situation look like nothing in comparison, doesn't it?] But... something can be done about this, right? There were stories about heroes from ancient times sneaking in and out of the underworld. If they can do it... then our friends can be saved, right?

[worldofcolor]

It's difficult, yes, but...we could make it work.

[It's fine, Hades is probably friendly.]

But you folks need to get out of here first.

[defyingfrigidity]

... Do you know how we can accomplish that?

[worldofcolor]

...Not off the top of my head, but I'm an ideas man.

[The pencil gets raised up a little, as though it were being pressed against an unseen chin.]

If you guys don't stop whoever is running this, though, I don't imagine they'd take kindly to you folks just up-and-leavin' em. Unfortunately, I don't know who that is.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Hmmm...]

We found... journal pieces. By a man named Beau Blood, and how he was abducted by a pirate by the name of Randall, captain of a ship called the S.S. Gore. Do those names ring any bells?

[worldofcolor]

...No, I can't say I've heard of any of those names.

[A little disappointed, but nevertheless.]

Those might be important, though.

[defyingfrigidity]

I see...

[Well... she didn't really think it would be that easy. But it was worth a try, right?]

Is there any sort of assistance you could give us? I know it's a bit much, to ask you to help us with this as well as rescuing our friends, but... I think some of the others are growing desperate in their attempts to figure out what's going on.
