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?

[There's a troubled look on Lunafreya's face as she digests that. This is far more familiar than she likes to admit.]

We are not meant to live forever. To do so requires losing far more of yourself than any man ought to sacrifice--giving in to a lasting corruption that leeches the spirit and mind. Whatever is here... I think it safe to say they are not the person they once were.

...

[Dorian gives Lunafreya a sorry look and fails to speak another word... For a few moments at least.]

It's a wonder what power can do to a person. I wonder if they may long for their lost innocence?

[starblessed]

[Oh, don't think she missed that sorry look. Her eyebrows furrow slightly, a questioning look directed back toward him.]

Given the "conversation" we had with this entity on Tuesday, I fear that is not the case. I could not speak for all such cursed, however.

[Do u know something she doesn't, Dorian]

[theothermrgray]

[Not about this place, no.]

That's a shame. At least there isn't much left to pity in someone so irredeemable.

[starblessed]

[She's remembering another person from her past now---a grandiose manner, a cynic's mocking voice. And how she'd reached out her hand to heal him, the Ursurper, and how he'd calmed for just that single moment...]

Sometimes the irredeemable are the most deserving of our pity of all. If only one could find a shred of humanity within them...

[But the prophecy laid out the Ursurper's fate, and so it follows that this house should meet the same end.]

But pity cannot stop us from taking action. Where words and appeals have failed, force may sometimes prevail instead. Such might be the case here.

[theothermrgray]

[Alas, if only he could be reminded of someone else... Someone other than himself.]

I have to agree. But let's find a way out before we burn this place to the ground.
