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?

Investigation!

[transparentanswer]

[On Tuesday, you might notice that Shintaro looks a bit different––in fact, he's wearing someone else's sweater. He looks slightly less dead inside than the past three days, but it's obvious he still hasn't been sleeping.

After spending a bit of time taking in the changes to the Foyer, inspecting the walls and the signs of other holidays. He also spends a bit of time at the piano, but he doesn't play anything because it's just not the same anymore. The foyer is way too tainted for music, right now...
Sigh.

Later on, he'll bring his investigation to the Library, as he likes to do. If things are changing in the house, the Library seems like the place that would have the best clues. Having the near perfect memory that he does, and given that he's looked through the library several times already, he's checking for any additions or disappearances, as well as anything else that might be strange. At least this place is still comfortable, so you might be able to find him taking a seat and playing games or listening to music on his phone.]

[ The walls in the foyer do indeed contain proof of other holidays. Dilapidated valentines posters, even some worn out rainbows for St. Patrick's Day can be found if you look around. There might be more evidence here later...

In the library however, Shintaro will find that there are several new books tucked away on the shelves. More bizarrely, a notebook, like the one they were all given, seems to have wedged itself in between some of those weird new books. Now what's that doing there? Wanna take a closer look? ]

[Wow they really started scraping the bottom of the barrel at some point, didn't they?

All of the books interest him, but the notebook most so, considering the people it could have belong too. He'll pick it up and check it out before flipping through it to check out any interesting contents.]

[ Don't judge, maybe they just got really creative! Most of the pages in this notebook contain scribbles, drawings and something they dubbed a "compatibility chart" though Shintaro won't recognize any of the names. The last page however, contains a message:

This seems to be the last. I've naught seen hide nor hair of our host, but I cannot imagine he will leave me simply to starve to death. That isn't his way. In the meantime, I've prepared as best I can. These horrid holiday decorations are hideous reminders of what I've lost, but they can serve as adequate weapons. The irony in using a metal heart for defense is not lost on me.
If someone should find this, it's likely I've died. Take care not to anger them. And beware the house itself; it is not what it seems.
RUN

How'd this get in there? ]
