Well...... I have some time....... *looks at map*

*Himeno stares at the frame that she found upon waking from her "dream." This map would be useful...* I... suppose we should go in with a better plan than "last time"...

*PK walks into the scene and stares at the destruction, holding himself high as he looks around Wow! Looks like that place is extremely dangerous! Its my duty to figure out what has happened! Onwards!

( I can take two more players)

Hey..... you think?...... Nah. I'll do it on my own.....

Right. *Himeno tucks the frame under her arm.* Let's try to cover as much area as possible. By the way, if you find any fuses, be sure to hold onto them. A certain box needs them to give power to the place.

Right.......

( someone got fuses yesterday. I think it was magilou)

ooc: Yep, although Himeno doesn't know that :3

Anyway... let's get going. If anyone needs to look at a map, ask me or... *she glances at Kotori, then looks away, her expression becoming cold once more* ...her. *With that, she opens the door*

OOC: speaking of your wonderful heroine, Magilou has returned. Next post of course.

Pfft, whatever. Find your own map.

( hoo boy. the anger is real my friends. Anyway, if you look at the map, I'll send it to you through private messages) The party enters the tree. As they do, they immediately feel the weight of the mist on their minds. On the east is a long staircase ascending all the way to the almost top of the tree. On the west side is a door with a button next to it. What will you do ?

Sounds good! With the 3 of us working together we are unstoppable! Onwards! Into the unknown! *PK then follows Himeno, taking a look inside

*walks up the stairs*

S: 17

Button doesn't work. Let's head up. *Himeno heads up the stairs, waving for the others to follow.* SAN: 17

Up and away! Lets get to it everyone! *PK jumps up and springs up the stairs, SAN:17

You can't tell me what to do! *Laharl ignites his fist and then punches the village elder in the face*

the mist prevents the fire from starting. the village elder being an addept at krav maga, he slams laharl on the ground, ripping his shirt to reveal the overflowing muscly madness he actually hides. he also breaks most of laharl's arm bones.

*Magilou smirks and shouts to the others before following them upstairs* By the by, you should definitely see the second floor, southmost room. It's something to behold

*Laharl dodges*

The group reaches the vestibule, a square room with four doors. One facing each cardinal direction. There's also a ladder, some boxes and a bunch of toolkits.

Oh, there you are. Never caught your name... by the way, think you missed my little thing: if you find any fuses, let me know, or bring them to the south room, then eastern door. There's a hatch under the carpet there with an empty fuse box.

Basically, go that way- *She points at the southern door* -then go into the room on your left. Now... *She looks around for a second, and prepares to take the eastern door* SAN 16

Ooh hey! Tools! Lets see here! I wonder if they have the screw I need? *PK then walks over to the boxes, inspecting them and attempting to take a tool kit with him SAN 16

*Heads into the hallway, then to the study* S:16

*Magilou shrugs before heading north* Sure, sure, whatever you say. If I find one those "fussy" things I'll go there.

OOC: this is a good time to mention Magilou here knows nothing about electricity. She simply picked the fuse up with some other trinkets. Also I forgot San San: 16

( oh god. does magilou not know what a fuse is ? )

( wellp. looks like you're in for another round of searching around in the dark hoping to get the good dice rolls. )

Himeno goes through the eastern door and enters the square hallway. in front of her is another door. the hallway continues on both sides before bending to the west on both sides. PK picks up a toolkit with a polishing machine and some nails. The box inspection however goes disappointingly. The boxes contain nothing but decayed corpses and putrid body parts. The infernal stench of death fills the room. Kotori heads to the study. The ground southward is a large bureau with various documents on it. the ground is covered by a carpet and the walls are decorated with various odd creatures conserved in glass tubes. Magilou heads north into the square hallway. Infront of her is a door and on the sides the hallway continue before turning southward.

*Magilou slams open the door in front of her, before grinning and shouting* Hellooooooo, is anyone living in this cold, dreary place. *under her breath* I know you're in here somewhere, traitor. San: 15

*Mig wanders up because of course Mig does.* Well this is a dark and foreboding new area of the forest...

*Kotori leaves, kuz irl*

Bleh! Disgusting! Well I guess we are splitting up! Ill go south then! *PK then tugs on the tool box, pulling it slowly over to the south door and pushing it open to see what's inside SAN 15

( actually, you can assume you were asked to come here by the village elder like the others mig. this will give you a reason to actually do anything with the place. )

(Oh RIP.)

*Himeno looks at her map, then heads into the door in front of her.* Maybe I'll find something this time...

( Kotori, upon entering the room, gets stabbed by a ghostie. As her body rots away in an instant, her mind begins drifting into the ether)

SAN 15

*Well Mig opens the door because reasons Liam just said!* No reason to stand around here, I guess.... This place has a very "Yu" vibe to it.

Magilou slams the kitchen door open, but only a cold silence greets her. No one is here to answer her. In the north west corner stands a large fridge with various notes attached to it with magnets. A large worktable stands in the middle of the room. rotting fruits and vegetables cover it along with some unidentifiable meat eaten by mads and flies. on the eastern side is the stove as well as cooking plates and some drawers. There's also a door on the south west side of the room. Mig reached the giant tree from which the magic-blocking and insane-making mist comes from. Strewn about are the corpses of the previous adventurers who came here. Some give of a familiar vibe, but they're too disfigured to be recognizable. In front of her ( mig's a her right? ) is a door that leads inside the tree. (Pk, you can just take the toolbox with you. it's not that big.) The south door leads Pk to the same hallway Kotori took. in this hallway, there are two doors. one on the eastern side and one on the western side. Kotori is nowhere to be seen. Himeno enters the food cellar thing. It's as dark as she remembers it. The shelves on the sides are aligned with foodstuffs and the darkness still makes it impossible to see what lies at the end of the small room.

*Mig... enters the door that she opened in the tree, then! Liam ya nut. Barely paying attention to the corpses, if only because she kinda has a thing about death and doesn't want to risk discovering, say, Mishimans in that pile.*

I swear, if another ghost girl shows up, I'm going to murder someone. *It takes a moment for the irony of that statement to sink in. She shakes her head and begins feeling around in the darkness* SAN: 14

(Just a bit of flavor text!) To the left we go! Hopefully nothing too spooky is inside! I might be able to fix up this fuse box! *PK then opens up the eastern door, looking around for spoopy spoopy ghosts SAN 14

*though there's no one there, Magilou still makes a show of holding her nose* Oh, such terrible, horrible housekeeping, if it were up to me I'd burn this place till there was naught but ash and soot. *Magilou leaves the door she entered through wide open as she walks towards the southwest door and opens it*

San 14

Inside the tree, Mig spots a spiraling staircase leading high up inside the tree. On the eastern side of the room is a door with a button. Himeno advances in the darkness. Luckily, no ghosts appear this time. However, inside this dark room she fails to find anything but canned foods. PK walks into the study. Fresh footprints can be seen in the dust, but they suddenly vanish at the entrance. What could've happened here ? On the sides, shelves with books and glass pots in which odd animals are conserved. in front of her is a large desk with various documents and other small things. The ground is covered by a carpet, giving a noticeable change to the usual wooden ground. Behind the desk are two curtains covering the windows. Leaving the door behind her open, Magilou heads towards the next room without investigating the current room. She soon finds herself inside the living room. On the north-west side is a large oaken table with filled plates on it. In the center and eastern center of the room are two couches standing in front of a CRT tv with a broken screen. There's a frame behind one of the couches. The western wall has a windowed door hidden by a set of curtains.

Hmm....staircase.... or button door.... Well, generally the best things are hidden behind the hardest doors. *heads over and pushes the button for the button door. Assuming it opens, she goes in as well.* SAN: 17

*Himeno snatches a random can because why not and exits the room. Time to head upstairs with that ladder in the "main room"...* SAN: 13

Ooh! What a nice carpet! Fit for a king! Now then lets investigate! *PK ignores the books and heads straight for the desk, inspecting the desk for anything that might look important What do we have here! Maybe a clue!

SAN 13

*once again leaving the door open, Magilou walks over to the broken TV and inspects it* Never seen anything like this before..... Wonder what sort of wonderful, terrible things it could do. *Magilou claps and her eyes light up* Maybe it's another of those instruments Exprcists made to punish and unruly Malak?

Mig presses the button... to no avail. It looks like there's no power to activate whatever this button is supposed to activate. Himeno catches a can of pineapple. Luckily for her, it's not yet past it's expiration date. She then heads upstairs using the ladder and the slightly hidden hole leading up there. She arrives in a three-quarters round room with two hallways making up that last not-round quarter. the round part has some stairs spiraling upwards towards the top of the tower. there is however a makeshift gate made out of wood and other random materials with a pig padlock holding it tightly closed. The first hallway extends southward and has two rooms, one westward and one southward. The other Hallway extends westward and has two rooms as well. once southward and one westward. Pk, going straight for the bureau, hears an odd "Clang" as he walks on a certain spot of the carpet. Looking through the mounds of papers on the bureau, one of them attracts his attention. it reads: " She's trying to learn that song on her piano now. It's heartwarming, really. But I need to make sure she doesn't get access to my lab. I think I should change the code one of these days. But what song to use? Well I can worry about that after I made this last delivery." Searching through the other documents, you find nothing of concrete information about that delivery. The papers all seem to be about his job, which seems to be about delivering things for a certain someone. Examining the tv, she notices there're spats of dried blood as well as long black strands of hair stuck here and there. It's like someone's face was bashed inside it. it's like your face is about to be bashed inside it. An immense force grips your neck from behind. It's pushing down, trying to pierce your face with the numerous glass shards from the broken TV screen. [loose 1 sanity point]

*Kotori only imagined leaving! In truth it seems that her mind was spirited away as her body is possessed by violence and the GM, she wanders the halls searching for prey!....... unless the Gm doesn't want her to, in which case, she ded*

* kotori spawns in the playroom. you have the map, you know what to do.*

Hmm.... no power, figures.... I wonder if there's a generator or something around here? Normally you'd think the generator would be in the basement, but when your only way to go is up... *Mig heads toward the stairs and ascends, needing to figure out how to restore power to the place...* SAN: 16

*Himeno looks at the map, then heads into the western hall and opens the door to the southern room* SAN: 12

*PK stares at the papers for a second before stuffing them into his pockets and talking to himself Wow! PK can't read! This is probably all very important imformation! Maybe someone else can decipher it! At any rate time to check out that clanking! *PK then grabs onto the carpet and lifts it away, curious to figure out what's underneath SAN 12

* ignore kotori. There is no stalking kotori*

*Magilou grabs her knife and slashes through the air behind her, as she struggles to stay away from the glass* What's the big idea moron? I'm the Sorceress, not the slave. This torturous machine is not for me SAN:11

After going through a hatch atop the stairs, mig enters the vestibule, a square room with four doors. One facing each cardinal direction. There's also a ladder, some boxes and a bunch of toolkits. Himeno enters the parent's room. In the middle of the room lies a two persons's bed. It's still done, although it does look pretty decrepit. There're night tables with drawers on each side of the bed. There's also a large dresser on the west side of the room. The south part has a framed picture hanging from the wall. Underneath the carpet is a small hatch with a turn handle. Slashing behind her, Magilou feels the weight on her neck fade away. But the dark presence can still be felt inside the room. The windows are shaking loudly and the door she had left open slams closed. This could be dangerous.

Ooh! PK wonders if riches lay beneath! Lets open it up and see! *PK then attempts to pull on the hatch before realising you have to turn it and attempts to open it like a regular person

*Magilou looks around the room for the source of the disturbance, slashing her knife through the air recklessly* Show yourself foul daemon, so that I' the great Sorceress Magilou can strike you down *under her breath* Or if you're a malak, I've got something even better. San:10

Hmm.... well this looks complex.... *Hmms and ignores a tool kit for now, heading toward the west door* If there's no basement maybe the generator is above the door... SAN: 15

OOC: reading back on the initial post, I laugh at the statement "I don't think the puzzles will give you any trouble though". Unfortunate that our plot-relevant item ended up in the hands of the only person who doesn't know what it is.

( man, you're screwing it all up. xD and with the second floor being somewhat hidden, the chances of getting the fuses again are pretty low not to mention the overall luck you all have. [spoiler alert: your luck is down in the dumps])

*Kotori stalks east, into the hallway*

These noises begin to seep into the hallway of the second floor. Pk opens the hatch and accesses the engine room. It's a somewhat dark room with machinery, tubes and a fuse box. Suddenly, the tv gets launched towards magilou. However, as the object was still plugged, it suddenly stops midway. Breaking into pieces, only shards and pieces of the tv fly towards magilou, dealing close to no damage. it's still quite the scare to see such events, so she looses another sanity point. The presence however vanishes. She is alone in the room again. As Mig heads out of the western door, a freezing cold passes over him. *something* is right there next to him. The door in front of him is closed, and there's no sign of anyone in the square corridor that surrounds the vestibule, and yet: it feels like someone is peering over his shoulders.

*SHE has a sudden cold chill and feeling of someone there....* W-who's there...? *She doesn't make much progress, spinning around, taking a few steps, looking behind her..... she's gonna end this turn still in the room.* SAN: 14

*Walks north, Into the Second floor entrance*

SAN: 11 *After snapping out of her daze, Himeno starts to rummage through the large dresser*

*PK then smiles and runs up to the fuse box, breaking into it and inspecting the machines, tubes and fuse box Finally! Something PK can do! Luckily for PK I can figure out mechanics quite easily! Lets see here! *PK then notices the sounds, shaking for a second before calminh down and returning to his task SAN:10

*Magilou uses her arms to cover her face as the TV breaks, resulting in few, minor scratches, she runs out into the main room, slamming open any doors in her way and shouting* Someone, anyone, Your beloved, innocent maiden is in danger!!!

San:8

Skyla rejoins now, yay. Should I reset my sanity, or not?

( you'll start from the beginning again then. for continuity's sake you know.) anyway update incomming.

((Ok. I'll just enter. It was 18 to start, right?))

Magilou bursts into the hallway screaming, making mig jump from fright. They are now together in the hallway. the cold presence has left, replaced by a faint " ch ch ch ha ha ha" noise. The large dresser is mostly empty. it's actually a hangdresser ( the kind with no shelves, you only use it to hang your clothes... or hide in it if you're playing hide and seek. * wink wink nudge nudge* Pk inspects the fuse box, and quickly realizes it's missing a bunch of fuses. looks like you'll have to find a spare set of fuses.

(18 yeah.)

Huh!? Magilou!? W-what are you doing here!? And why are you screaming!? *why are YOU screaming Mig!?* And.... and where did that cold go? SAN: 13

((Thanks)) Skyla enters, and climbs the ladder she sees.

*Himeno looks around nervously. She's starting to get the feeling she shouldn't be there... She shakes that thought away and examines the framed picture* SAN: 10

*Kotori jumps down the Hole into the first floor and Dashes into the hallway towards the screaming, Sword drawn*

*PK then hears the screams and dashes towards the sounds ending up where Mig and Mag are, concerned why they are screeching like crazy people, which PK is not, HAVE NO FEAR PK IS HERE! What seems to be the matter? Also PK need some wires so if you find some hand them over! SAN:9

*Magilou breathes a sigh of relief before looking to Migranf pleadingly* I was simply minding my own business, wandering this terrible, dreadful little place, when out of nowhere a Daemon attacked me. *Magilou quickly straightens up and pulls out her knife* Of course, they were no match for a master sorceress like myself. But best of all, I had a vision before I entered here? The person I'm looking for must be somewhere in this building. And when I find them..... *Magilou grins wickedly* San:7

Mig and Mag are heaving a hearty chat when suddenly Jas-... I mean Kotori stumbles into the hallway. Behind Pk appears screaming. Kotori is possessed though. She's got the house backing her in whatever she may attempt. Himeno meanwhile stays oblivious to the dreadful encounter her teammates have had. The picture she's looking at depicts a happy family. A young couple in a boat with their daughter. All three of them seem so happy. What could've happened to turn them into the horrific apparitions that stalk this house. Skyla once again enters the tree and climbs the stairs. She reaches the square vestibule. Beyond the western door an incessant " Ch Ch Ch Ha Ha Ha" can be heard, as well as people talking and/or screaming. The rest of the room is as it was last time you came here.

K-Kotori....? W-why do you have your sword out like that? *Mig starts backing up toward Magilou, the fear is starting to grow....* SAN: 12

*Kotori tries to stab Miggy's leg!*

*Magilou, catching sight of PK's arrival, quickly runs to hide behind him* Oh my brave wonderful warrior, you're just in time to defend this poor, innocent maiden's honor. That ghastly villain *points to Kotori* has been threatening us the whole time I've been here. *Magilou, grins as she hides behind PK*

(AY!) Oh hello there lady... lady! How are you today! PK am Pancake_Knight at your service! Now I have to ask if you have any wires? *PK then taps Kotori on the shoulder to get her attention, stomach growling and hungering for pancakes SAN 8

That girl looks familiar... *Himeno rubs her head, a dull pain already starting to set in. She rushes out of the room and enters the western door in this same hallway.* SAN: 9

"...Well that's an interesting noise... I wonder what's causing it." Skyla tries to peek through the keyhole of the western door. Sanity: 16.

Himeno enters the father's work room. Wooden tables clattered with woodworking tools fill the room. One of the tables is especially clattered. On the western wall, saw blades are aligned and other tools hang on the eastern wall. Blue prints and designs are hanging on the northern wall. Skyla spies the scene that happens in the hallway through the keyhole. As Magilou hides behind mig, Mig is unable to dodge the blade headed straight for his leg. His left leg's muscles are cut clean, rendering his left leg completely useless. In addition, Kotori slowly turns to mist as it wraps itself around the leg, causing it to decay at alarming speeds. [turns before mig's left leg falls to dust:3. The decay will spread to the rest of his body once that happens.] This atrocious sight causes all who watch [except mig who's too busy worrying about his leg] to loose two sanity points. Pk's actions were pretty much ignored due to kotori's singlemindedness.

*Magilou, in a panic, runs in through the nearest door, the one PK entered through* San:3

Blueprints? To what, I wonder... *Himeno tries her best to read them despite the dim light. She considers grabbing something from the wall of tools, but it's probably not the best idea unless there's a key or something she can pick the lock with.* SAN: 8

Kotori....? Kotori!? *tries to grab at her but falls flat forward from the hit, staring down, eyes totally wide with fear at the ensuing decay* W-what the.... my.. MY LEG! SAN: 11. Still somehow higher than all of you.

"...um... ouch..." Skyla mutters. She decides to look through one of the other doors. Also, an extra sanity is taken from seeing that. Sanity: 14

Wow, that looks bad! In fact... that looks like... *PK then then takes the dust and sprinkles it over a pancake he took out of his pockets, imagining it to be something else he starts to eat the pancake ignoring everything around him, SAN: 5

PK makes a dusty pancake. Hooray. Skyla looks through another random door. all she sees is a hallway and a door. ( you should try and give more accurate directions. ) Mig's leg decay is progressing. his foot has turned to mush and the nerves in his left leg are all dead. A voice resonates in his mind: "C O M E T O T H E B A T H O N T H E S E C O N D F L O O R. I W I L L H E L P Y O U A T T A I N F R E E D O M." Himeno examining the blue prints notices the father was an addept at making odd contraptions. there were also more regular blue prints like tables and stools. As she examines her surroundings, she notices the long sought-after fuses protruding from a stack of random stuff. Finally! She also notices the piano wire which she could potentially use to pick a lock. Magilou enters the study. On the sides, shelves with books and glass pots in which odd animals are conserved. in front of her is a large desk with various documents and other small things. The ground is covered by a carpet, giving a noticeable change to the usual wooden ground. Behind the desk are two curtains covering the windows.

*Magilou runs over to the curtains and flings them open* Alright, where are you you rotten traitor? I know you're in this place somewhere San:2

Ah? W-where's that? *Looks to anyone still in the hallway* Where's the bathroom!? SAN: 10

Finally, some good luck for once. *She eagerly snatches the fuses and wire. She pauses in front of the door, but after a moment of consideration, she checks the cluttered desk.* SAN: 7

*PK then finishes his pancake and stares at the dust, getting up and realizing Mig is slowly turning into dust, he then gets a wicked smile on his face as he walks over lending her his shoulder to help her get up Oh! PK knows where the bathroom is alright! Just follow me! SAN 4

O-okay..... *Will totally follow PK. Because she kinda needs the support.*

( If spectrum doesn't post before 25, they will be skiped. )

update

Magilou is making a mess of the room. Nothing else happens. No one replies to her. it's just an empty room. Himeno checks the desk, but there's nothing else of interest there. Pk and mig team up and head to god knows where.

*Magilou bursts out into the hall, shouting* Come over here and face your punishment you rotten little brat. I know you can hear me Bienfu. San:1

R-right... shouldn't have wasted too much time in here... someone could... *She tries to keep her breathing calm and even as she exits the room. Time to head towards that lock to the stairs...* SAN: 6

*PK then takes Mig to the upstairs mumbling to himself, somewhat despondent and ignoring everything else, looking around for a room Pancakes.... I will have my fix.... this will end nicely... fill that void....

SAN 3

Ugh... this is getting me nowhere! I thught you knew where the bathroom was! SAN: 9

Himeno heads to the locked gate closing off the tower. Mig and Pk are roaming around the hallway, it's as though pk was stalling for time. Mig's leg in now gone. the decay has spread to his lower torso and second leg. the voice resounds again. "Y O U R S A L V A T I O N I S D O O M E D. I W I L L W A T C H O V E R Y O U D U R I N G T H E N E X T C Y C L E." As mig focuses on the voice, they fail to notice Magilou standing behind them. Magilou with her ink-black eyes. Magilou with the distorted smile. Magilou with the alien mind manipulating all her senses. Magilou with the lust for blood. Magilou with the knife in her hands.

( forgot to mention, the decay is now taking it's toll on mig. loose one extra sanity each turn as the dark decay corrodes you)

*PK then draws his laser blade, dropping Mig on the floor, brandishing the blade and chopping off the dusty leg, eyes wild with hunger, yelling out ITS MINE! AALL MINE! I NEED DUST MORE DUST! GIVE IT TO ME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SAN:2

Alright... you can do this... it's just you against a few mechanisms. Not a girl, not some mist... *She takes out the wire an inserts it into the lock in an attempt to pick it. All the while, she mutters to herself to stop her hands from shaking* SAN: 5

*Magilou has a sadistic smirk as she puts away her knife, choosing to take out the copper cable instead* Oh there you are Bienfu. I knew I'd find you again. Don't worry, I do still need you after all..... I'll just make sure you know never to defy me again. *Magilou runs up behind PK and uses the cable in an attempt to strangle them, not pulling hard enough to kill, only to hurt..... A lot*

PK!? Stop! What are you doing!? My leg! My body! *and then in comes Magi, who Mig looks to pleasingly. * Oh thank God, save me! Please! The bathroom! SAN: 7

Pk eats more of the decay dust, and fails to notice Magilou coming in from behind. She grips his throat with her cable. Meanwhile mig is decaying more, his leg is becoming mushy and unable to support him anymore. Walking, running or any kinde of horizontal movement is now a distant dream. He looks pleadingly to the sadistic woman strangling his "friend". Meanwhile, Himeno is trying to pick the lock to the tower, but her first attempt ends in failure.

Dammit... Just... work! *She barely stops herself from jamming the wire inside in anger. She takes a deep breath and tries again...* SAN: 4

*PK then starts to get chocked, using the dust in his hands he throws it behind him in attempt to blind magilou before turning around and stabbing her with the laser blade, yelling as he does so (if he can that is) ITS MINE! DONT YOU DARE TOUCH MY PRECIOUS DUST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

SAN 1

*Magilou doesn't seem to be aware of Migrant's existence, probably a good thing, all things considered, instead, she holds the cable tight in her right hand, and slowly draws out her knife with her left, as she is blinded by the dust* YOU ROTTEN BRAT..... YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO DEFY YOUR MISTRESS. *Now unable to see, Magilou slashes wildly in the area where PK's face was* SAN: -1

OOC: OF course, she's probably stabbed too, but I'll leave the severity of that to the GM

Pk stabs towards Magilou, puncturing a clean round hole in her right lung. Magilou, destabilized by the sudden pain misses his face by an inch, only managing to cut off PK's ear. Mig's rot has completely taken over his lower abdomen. soon his heart and lungs will decay. Himeno, against all odds, manages to open the gate. the whole metallic structure preventing passage falls appart as the lock falls to the ground. She has gained passage to the top of the tower.

YOU! DON'T TOUCH MY DUST! ILL! ILL KILL YOU! *PK then ignores the pain in his ear as he slashes again with the laser blade, going for a horizontal strike across the chest, eyes wild with hunger, I NEED DUST! GIVE IT TO ME!

SAN 0

*Himeno pants, staring at the wire in her hand.* Thanks for actually listening. Now to take out that mist... *Trembling with both excitement and fear, she dashes up the tower* SAN: 3

*Magilou, disrupted by the pain, ends up dropping the knife, instead grabbing the cord with both hands and pulling as hard as she can* YOU LITTLE BRAT. NEVER SPEAK OUT AGAINST ME LIKE THAT AGAIN... I... I'lL SHOW YOU YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE..... *Magilou attempts a sadistic laugh, and ends up coughing up a little blood. Huh, hope that wasn't important.* SAN:-2

Mig's lungs having ceased to function and his heart having stopped pumping blood, he is now laying on the floor, braindead. Mig's mind has joined the ether of creation. With the power of a determined, demented mind, she strangles pk, even in death as she gets sliced open by his laser blade. her bisected torso falls to the ground, taking him with her in her fall. She's not realeasing her grip. His vision is getting blurry as loss of consciousness looms over him. Himeno climbs the stairs. She can now almost see the top of the tower. just a little bit more...

My... dust... will be... min... *PK then hits the ground unconscious, falling to the mercy of the GM

PK, having fallen unconscious fails to notice his death by strangulation. Magilou's stiff corpse strangled him to death. ( sorry for being so expedite today, but I'm kinda tired -w-)

*Himeno reaches the top. Her time's running out, but if she can just see what's there...* SAN: 2

Atop the tower, a large window with opaque glass filters the light. it's faint but you can see *it*. The *thing* hanging there in the middle of the tower. It's shape is indescribable. The noises it makes are maddening. the smell is that of putrid corpses and plagued limbs. It moves, ever so slightly despite the noose tightly squeezing down whatever seems to be the thing that serves as it's neck. It lives. A thing that shouldn't be. A monstrosity that shouldn't exist. The foul spawn of a perverted mind. A man-made eldritch abomination. It secretes some sort of liquid that dissolves itself before even reaching the ground. the mist it generates from it's pores is enveloping himeno's body. The insanity quickens. it makes no difference however. From the shadows, *something* grips her ankle, instantly snapping it in two, twisting it in a shape it never should've been in. Another tendril grabs her torso, snapping her spine in two. the thick mist empowers it. the creature spawned from the abyss of insanity feeds on the mist it was born from. It slowly devours Himeno as the mist paralyzes her. In her final moments, she realizes how dark the top of the tower is. If only she had light.... Devoured by the thing, her last sight is the hanged creature squirming. Unable to free itself.

It's... so... *Himeno's mind fades, but something manages to click in before she falls limp.* *There's no light. Yet.*

anyway, you know the drill. everyone wakes up with the knowledge of what happened and while still keeping their items. There is one special character though. I'll tell to the one concerned in private.

*Himeno sits against a tree, wrapping her arms around her legs. She looks at the new items spread neatly beside her: a frame with a map, canned pineapple, a very bent piece of wire, and some fuses.* It's up there... *She glares at the tower looming at the top of the house. Her gaze is filled with fury, but if one looks closely, they'll notice her hands trembling.*

((And let me guess? Skyla's back at the beggining Also, sorry for being vague, it's not my fault you gave me a vague description.))

Skyla notices Himeno. "Hey! Those items look useful. Maybe we should go up together. I should have at least something from the toolbox I found on my first attempt." ((Also, wtf did I get from the toolbox, or do I have to go back and check.))

((I went back to check and I have, to quote: some screws, a screw driver with multiple interchangeable heads as well as a pair of scissors.))
