Week 3.

[trustharder]

WEEK 3 Another week has passed; two more Survivors are gone. Pearl and Caren both had someone to fight for, someone worth killing for; perhaps it's for the best to hope that somehow they've found peace despite not being able to collect on the Kingmaker's incentive. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. That doesn't mean the night passed easily, though - it seems another piece of your personal puzzle may have fallen into place while you slept... Following that spiral staircase up to the second floor will reveal something strange; those stairs definitely lead far higher than you remember, up to a previously inaccessible third floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 23

exploring...?

[garudynamic]

[Unlike a lot of his 'roommates', Yosuke wakes up from his dreams looking revitalized. Bright eyed, hopeful and oddly proud of himself. Even when he sees that the deaths of the nights before had opened up another floor.

He can be found all over once again, but especially in the music room, playing with the guitars.

But after exploring the new floor he can be seen... hauling a ladder from the storage room up to the third floor, eventually setting it up and poking around the ceiling- trying to find how the stairs would continue to a fourth floor.

...try not to spook him, or he'll go right down the stairs.]

Music Room

[cherryblooded]

[Don't mind him. He's just going to settle down on the floor and listen to Yosuke play for a bit, and clap when whatever song he's playing comes to an end.

It's nice that people are getting to do things they enjoy, even here.]

[garudynamic]

[He doesn't even notice Cherryblod until he's done, having played with his eyes closed the entire time. It's missing something with out the drums and bass but it's still recognizable as a song either way.

When Cherry clasps he startles, making a very high pitched squeal with the strings]

W-whoa, sorry!

[cherryblooded]

No, it's alright, I should have spoken up.

[He's had worse done to his eardrums anyway.]

That was good.

[garudynamic]

Heheh...

[Aw, he's bright red]

Thanks... it's way easier to practice on the real thing instead of those little ukulele's we keep getting.

music room

[ignorantly]

[ Shirazu's just poking around and exploring the new floor, but when he enters the music room he stops and quietly listens to Yosuke playing the guitar, not wanting to interrupt him. ]

[garudynamic]

[He's not playing anything specific this time, unlike with Cherryblod. But snatches of songs, a few relaxed cord progressions and general just messing around. Still, after weeks with nothing but their own voices to listen to, it's something new]

Hey. You that bored?

[He doesn't seem to mind though]

[ignorantly]

You're pretty good, Hanamura. [ It's nice. And it kind of helped him forget about that awful dream he had last night for a minute. ]

[garudynamic]

Hey, anything is better then how creepy-quiet it gets in here sometimes. Especially at night.

[He starts plinking around some more]

POKING AROUND...

[bloodisthicker]

[...Yosuke is very jumpy, as he learned his first day here, and he isn't quite sure it will count as murder if he scares Yosuke and he falls down the stairs and dies.

...so he sort of tries to wave first? Can he catch Yosuke's attention in a way that won't scare the shit out of him...?]

[garudynamic]

[Thankfully Yosuke sees the movement, and waves back, making his way down to meet Tarrlok on the ground]

Hey. Need me to move the ladder?

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, no, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure I didn't startle you or anything, because that would probably end poorly for the both of us.

[...he laughs, but it's not really a convincing laugh because this is our lives now, apparently.]

I'm guessing you didn't have any luck, then?

[garudynamic]

Thaaat'd be a pretty embarrassing trial, that's for sure.

[His own smile matches Tarrlok's laugh in it's lack of actual happiness.]

And nope, nothing yet. I was hoping I'd find some kinda seal or something but... it looks pretty tight, if there's anything at all...

ceiling poking

[capyper]

[ So this guy popping up from behind for a good scare is a good plan, right?! ... Don't worry, though, he's standing so he can catch Yosuke from any, ahem, unfortunate possibilities. ]

Boo!

[garudynamic]

[Thank god for that, cuz Yosuke tumbles right off.

But his reflexes are maybe too good, as he grabs the ladder half way down- and pulls it onto them both.]

[capyper]

[ The good news for Yosuke is that at least Yato is the one who gets landed on, for the most part!

The bad news for Yato is that Yato is the one who gets landed on, for the most part. ]

Oofauuugh — get off I can't — [ emphatic wheezing ]

[garudynamic]

[Oh come on he's not that heavy!

Now the ladder, the ladder's pretty heavy. Yosuke wriggles to try and move, but his legs are kinda tangled in the ladder. It's a amazing he didn't at least twist something, let alone BREAK anything.]

What the hell was that?!

poking around!

[pokexplorer]

[Colress discovers Yosuke on his mission while coming up the stairs to check out the new floor. Curious to see what he's up to (and seeing it as a way to get a good chat in with Yosuke), he makes his footsteps a bit more pronounced as he approaches.]

Did you find something interesting on the ceiling?

[garudynamic]

Nothing yet! But if things keep on like they are... I'm guessing there's another floor up there.

[pokexplorer]

[Now that Yosuke mentions it, as Colress observes, something is definitely amiss with this floor.]

Ah, that is odd...I was not expecting the stairs to end so soon, myself.

And you believe there may be a fourth floor anyway?

[garudynamic]

I think so. Not that I have any real proof or anything- two weeks isn't really enough to be a pattern, right?

HELLO FRIEND MODS ARE HERE

[trustharder]

[You are looking very invested in that ceiling, Yosuke. What are you looking for in particular?]

[garudynamic]

[His thought is that the KM has a hidden door or panel that will open after a third trial. So discoloration or a seal, mostly. Even running his hand along it to try and feel any difference]

[trustharder]

[You know, that isn't a bad line of thinking at all. Interestingly enough, though, there doesn't seem to be a visible seal at the join between the walls and the ceiling. Obviously, there's a crease there because that's just how walls work when they come together, but there's no visible or tactile split.]

[garudynamic]

[That's... impossible though. This place had to be made from pieces, right? It's not like there's building molds or anything like that. Though he's no carpenter or construction worker, so maybe there's a technique to hide these kinda things he just doesn't know about.

So instead he pats down the belt loops of his jumpsuit until he finds where he stashed one of the hammers, tapping around that area. Solid floor/ceiling of course won't budge, but if this is meant to move maybe it'll sound different.

...or be breakable. But he hasn't gotten that far yet]
