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

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...

[bloodisthicker]

I suppose all I would really be able to hope for is that the Kingmaker make my execution as swift as possible so I could hopefully reincarnate into a less pointless life.

[...if you can joke about it, it feels less Real.]

Really? I wonder if there's only three floors to this place, then? Or... maybe the staircase to the next floor is somewhere completely different.

[garudynamic]

...you know, I didn't even think to look anywhere else? But look, check this.

[He points up to where the wall meets the ceiling, where a supposed staircase would be.]

See where they meet up? There's no seam at all. Not just for a door but... like where it was built at all.

[bloodisthicker]

...wait, really?

[He looks up, squints a little, and...]

...you're right, that's incredibly bizarre. It's like this place was carved out of solid rock instead of constructed like a real building.

[garudynamic]

But we have vents and piping, so it can't be one big piece...

[bloodisthicker]

...hmm. It'd definitely be harder to get all of those things into existing walls than to just... build them into something during construction, wouldn't it?

[...he's a politician, not an engineer.]

I can't believe even the construction of this place is some bizarre, inexplicable mystery.
