week 4

[Another week, and two more dead. King Richard and Red are both gone, and once again, it was through nothing more than an accident in the heat of the moment. Maybe if you all stay calm and collected, nothing bad will happen again?

Well, maybe not.

When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The grounds remain as they are, but this time, the door blocking the stairwell has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the second floor! This is the second time that's happened; it's almost as if you get more space every time someone dies. Or maybe the whole place just seems quieter.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 4! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))
mcfife: nope (☀️and stars right before me)

[Sometime in the late evening, you hear something come crashing from Room 15 - many things, actually. Angus' door is open revealing a bunch of junk he's collected over the weeks spilled on the floor. The only things safe are Tad Cooper on the dresser (wearing a very nice vest, cape, and scepter/spoon) and a tightly folded bundle of clothing next to him.

Otherwise?]
I apologize, I - this really is a mess.

[And once he has some control over the situation, he heads to the kitchen around 10pm, just in time to make a grab for the door and find it frustratingly locked. He twists the knobs for about 10 seconds before giving up and planting his hand on the door.]

Alright, so...in the morning. [And of course he comes just when it's locked.]

Kitchen

[Mephisto just happens to be passing by and... has himself a laugh.]

What? Disappointed we can't meet our new Room-Bah friend?
mcfife: concern (☀️clouds beneath)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Angus jerks back at suddenly finding someone behind him- It’s just Mephisto. He’s fine.]

What? Oh, that. I would love a rematch. . [He knocks on the door twice with a big smile.] But all of Tad Cooper’s food is in there.
heathencall: (>:|)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Mephisto should be offended that he's being dismissed as not a threat so readily but... It's fine.]

What have you been feeding it, anyway? [A beat. He pauses, remembering the awful octocat he has stuck on his arm.]

Do you think he'll eat this.

[It hisses.]
mcfife: blank (☀️so hail to you)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Angus considers the horrifying octocat.

...

He stops considering the octocat.]


He's to small to hunt something of that size.
heathencall: (:??)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[So much for that! Dammit.]

Are you sure? It can't hurt to challenge him.
mcfife: (☀️starborn defender)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
That vicious beast would easily tear him apart! I will see that my dragon is harmed for no reason.

[Also he is a BABY]
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's not vicious. It just likes to... hold things.

[Free him Angus, please.]

What kind of dragon is it that it can't fight a cat?
mcfife: angry (☀️with speed of light I'm to rise)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Would you prefer that I fight it if you desire to see it defeated?
heathencall: (:??)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Mephisto looks properly scandalized.]

You'd beat up small animals, Prince of Fife?
mcfife: nope (☀️and stars right before me)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Angus is about to say something in response, closes his mouth, and opens it again absolutely at loss for words.]

No. What sort of evil person would hurt the innocent? [Like feral octocats.]
heathencall: (:?)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I'd hoped you might say that.

[He taps the octocat on the head. It's like petting, right?]
mcfife: thoughtful (☀️to realms beyond space)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He watches the octocat for a minute. It's...rather charming, once it relaxes.]

Why do you say that?
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you think?

[He motions with his free arm to the opera house around them.]

Surely you've seen how many innocent lives occupy this place. It's good to know our Prince will continue to still his hand.
mcfife: smile (☀️heavenwards)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[It may be to the late hour. It may be due to his horrible state of mind this week, but this comes as a bit of a surprise to Angus. Mephisto still trusts him despite how Angus had mistrusted him the past. And if taker of souls believes in him, how can Angus not?

He relaxes, smiling.]


You have a talent for encouraging others. Something I have been unable to do for some time.
heathencall: (:??)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-24 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Do I?

[That hadn't been his intention. More... sizing the man up than anything else. Trying to understand whether or not he could be trusted after all their talks of weakness. But if Angus wants to take it as encouragement, Mephisto won't argue.]

I suppose we've all come to terms with our more... unknown strengths since arriving here.
mcfife: AMAZEMENT (☀️I will soar)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-25 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
There is no shame in discovering a strength late in your life.

[He folds his hands together to stretch his arms out. It's been a long week.]

You should continue to do so, if you desire to live among humans more often. We appreciate those who know how to uplift others.

[It's a good thing that door's already open, because when Anne hears that crash coming from Room 15-- well. She wobbles on one leg for an instant, because she'd intended to kick the door down if she had to.]

Angus! And-- [oh. how darling. the little scepter. She makes a soft, cooing noise.] Oh, Tad, isn't that just darling.

mcfife: somber (☀️riding on the astral fire)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Angus pushes himself off the wall - there’s barely any space in his room to stand - and shimmies his way out of the room.

A Tudor-style ruff falls out one of of the piles on his bed.]


Sorry about this. I’ll clean this when I have the chance.

[She purses her lips, pushing her way past him and into the room where she starts to pick things up and gather them into a pile on his bed.]

You have a chance now, ja?
mcfife: side eye (☀️no return forevermore)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He twists to face there. Then glances down the hallway.]

Just real quick? Just want to get some stuff from the kitchen before it is sealed off.

[Please don't make him dodge this one responsibility, as impossible as it is.]
likemypicture: (Default)

[personal profile] likemypicture 2020-07-24 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Go! And I'll take this in exchange. [She holds up the ruff] It seems my style ja?
mcfife: excited (☀️weilding the hammer)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It’s getting late and as he nods and rushes, the night time begins and the doors to the kitchen lock. Unfortunately, it is too late to get anything from there.

Tad Cooper watches over his domain as Anne collects some accessories until Angus walks back empty-handed.]

[Well, the person that's come to investigate all of that crashing is more wide-eyed wonder.]

Heh, I'll say. You've got a lot of stuff to look through, huh?
mcfife: side eye (☀️no return forevermore)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-07-24 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I- I do.

[It's terrible, where is he meant to keep all this?]

You can take whatever you want. I have no need for it.
