WEEK 3

Another week gone and it's still Christmas! Or is it? The paint on the walls is beginning to crack and fade, with especially large chunks in character's bedrooms revealing scratched words like "cantgetoutcantgetout" and "god help me i just want to go home i miss my home i miss my mother i miss" etc. Yikes! The locations page might be updated throughout the week as characters discover more. Seems like now's the perfect time to investigate and hope you'll get closer to finding out what's going on here. There's always more places to look and more things to find!

As a reminder that this week's activity check is now live! And as usual, it's never a bad time to submit threads for regains! Have you been naughty or nice? Naughty children still get presents too, don't worry. And if you'd like to check-in on Thursday night, you always can! You never know what fun you might run into.

So go exploring, find something new and pay no mind to the creepy writing on the walls. We're sure everything will be fine! After all, nothing ever goes wrong on Christmas, right?

[ This morning in the foyer you'll find the tree trimmed with care. Have we mentioned it's huge? It's pretty out there. But what should you find, mounted high on top? Why, an Angel, of course, whose heart has been stopped.

Angel is dead, that much is clear. How the tree hasn't fallen, that's neither there nor here. Merry Christmas! ]

[Jack is still in the foyer, even after the gristly discovery for today, but...not near the tree. He also seems to be having some sort of a very violent breakdown.]

[He has a fire poker. He's knocking things over and flinging whatever knickknacks are nearest to him, not caring at all about the mess he's making. He's yelling but it's...a very controlled and tight sort of yelling. This is a man who's tethers with sanity are very much loose at the moment.]

Whoever did this is gonna pay! Get out here and face me, you fucking coward!

[Handsome Jack isn't having a very good day. And seems to be intent on destroying the foyer unless someone stops him.]

[It's. Probably not a great idea for Lunafreya to step in here, but guess what she's gonna]

Jack! Stop this!

[They haven't talked much, but there's still a marked difference between her usual tone and her voice here--Lunafreya is louder and forceful, striding toward him without any hesitation whatsoever.]

You're playing right into the hands of whatever forces are at play here!

No, that's what I have been doing! Playing their stupid little game and doing what they ask and now my daughter is dead! She never hurt anybody in her life! She had a shitty life and she gets her first chance to be a real kid and someone killed her! She was the only good thing....

I'm not stopping anything I will bring this whole fucking house to the ground!

[Yeah, he's pretty wildly swinging that fire poker. He's not calming down easily. There are precious few things Jack honestly cares about, but Angel holds the highest honor among those scant things.]

[It brings Lunafreya up short. His daughter? She hadn't known there were people with family here. How quiet had they been about it?

But that's neither here nor there.]

And I shall help you! That this house must burn is obvious--but if we are to destroy it, let us do it in such a way we can be certain it will exist no more.

[She's staying out of reach of that poker, not wanting to risk being accidentally hit in his tirade, but Luna's not backing down either.]

I am sorry for your loss, Jack. I did not know she was your daughter.
