week 5

[That was...an absolute shitshow. More beloved friends are dead in a mess of a trial that's left Angus half the man he was, Riley in a free fall and the Phantom...somehow still standing despite taking two stabs to the torso.

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 door blocking the stairwell on the second floor has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the third floor! You have so much space now, it's just a shame it's all come at the cost of eight lives.

But despite the tragedy you have made progress! The trip into the Phantom's lair yielded some hints to the past of the Opera House, your house manager's apparently grim hobby and the possibility of an ally outside the Opera House. Who knows what this week will bring?]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 5! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

Uh-

[Just gonna. Reach over quick and turn the knob all the way down, that's probably what deep fryers have right.]

Yes. Yes I did.

[Mephisto manages to at least keep from sighing in exasperation outright. He does grunt a little though.]

Now all we can do is wait. Are you breathing alright?
holyspit: (hello darkness)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes? Yes.

[He takes a few slow, deliberate breaths to check. Seems okay?]

...I think? Now I'm just thinking about how I normally breath and I can't tell because I usually don't pay attention to it-

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
... I'll keep an eye on you, then.

[He glances over at the mess they've made.]

It seems oddly reminiscent of our first weeks here, don't you think? When you tried to put out the fire I started.

[At this Mephisto's was intentional. But he won't bring that up.]
holyspit: (icecream makes it better)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ha.

[It's a short-lived but at least genuine laugh.]

Full circle, huh. ...Well. I promise I'm not secretly a- I don't know, a corrupted Gem monster or anything. I don't even know how that would work for me.
heathencall: (:) ?)

[He squints down at Steven, making a brief show of stroking his chin and appraising Steven.]

Yes I think I can trust that. There's certainly nothing to worry about here.

[What do you know, Mephisto's laughing too.]

Heh- the horns would probably give it away, for one thing.

[Wait, is that racist if you're talking to a demon?]

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[If it is, Mephisto has a dark sense of humor as he's laughing too.]

So. I should look for... horns then, at the first sign of trouble? Anything else? A tail?
holyspit: ("lay-zer")

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Horns, tail, uh- mindlessly attacking everything and everyone.

[Hm. Seems less funny now.]

...at least it'd be pretty obvious?
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that's... a lot.]

Is there any way to stop it?
holyspit: (oh dear)

1/2

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Poof and bubble the Gem to stop them from hurting anyone. ...we kind of came close to fixing one of them, once. But it didn't last.

[Can I get an F in chat for Centipeedle.]

Oh, I. Don't think it can actually happen to me, though. I'd have to try fusing with a Gem that was already corrupted, or something.
holyspit: (dead inside)

2/2

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
OH HEY, I think it's cool enough by now, think it's safe to check?
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[F]

You're probably right.

[Since Mephisto is already permanently busted up, he'll go ahead and reach for the cookie sheet. Look at him, protecting people.]
holyspit: (why this)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-28 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Steven quickly tugs on a pair of large oven mitts and takes a defensive stance. He will block any flames that come fireballing out, clearly.]
heathencall: (>>:???)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-28 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[A large fireball comes rushing out and -- Yeah. no. It's just a big plume of smoke.]

At least we've managed to keep from burning the opera house down?
holyspit: (little bit)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-29 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
...You think if we did the Phantom would have to call everything off?

[Steven. No.]

Not- that I'm actually suggesting that. ...That's a plan B or C, at least.
heathencall: (:??)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-29 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
More likely that he would find a way to stop the fire only after it killed a number of us, and then require an investigation.

[Just kinda. Rolls his eyes.]

Games upon games.
