Week 3.

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


SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

With luck, not much longer...all we can really do right now is focus on getting through Friday.

[It's gonna go so well.

Also wow, that next bit was a little alarming. Colress can help but raise his eyebrows.]


Sacrifices for black magic? This is the second time I've heard you talk about something along those lines... Magic used for evil, I mean. The first concerned zombies. Do you do all of this research for your novels? Or is it an actual common practice in your world...?

It's not a common practice in my world, not that I know of. And I didn't do this research for my novel-- I witness this all firsthand.

[....]

It's kind of a long story.
pokexplorer: (❖ worry)

[Oh. Welp.]

You...witnessed black magic rituals firsthand. I trust you...weren't actually involved?

[He does acknowledge the long story part, it's just...please don't leave him hanging with that, Gabriel!]
notjustawriter: (♟ after three days in the desert fun)

can you really say spoiler warning for a game that's 23 years old

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-22 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
No. I wouldn't touch the stuff.

It's... complicated. I was dating a woman, see. Her name was Malia. [that past tense there probably isn't good] She was the leader of this cartel, as it happens. I sure can pick 'em.

Anyway... she was possessed, somehow. By this ancient witch named Tetelo who put a curse on my bloodline. I don't know what the ritual was for, but she warned me to leave town after a friend of mine was kidnapped-- I interrupted it, but in order to save me, Malia killed herself to prevent Tetelo from ritually killing anyone else.

WHY NOT

[Wow um.

That's rough, buddy.

Seriously though, he's not even sure what to say to any of that. He just...can tell that Gabriel has probably told him something pretty deep?]


Ah...I am sorry about Malia. [He's supposed to be sorry about that, right? HE HOPES.] Spiritual possession though, that is truly something astonishing. I can see why you would fear anything black magic-related happening here...

Did that sacrifice in turn break the curse as well?
notjustawriter: (♞ i went to find the truth)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is.... pretty traumatic.

But talking about it helps, honestly.]


....Yeah. It broke the curse, gettin' rid of Tetelo.

[personal profile] pokexplorer 2016-03-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
So it was bittersweet in the truest sense...

[It's really difficult for him to imagine a situation like that. What a tricky spot for Gabriel.]

I apologize that this conversation has appeared to dredge up some bad memories, Mr. Knight. But I do appreciate the story.

...Don't worry about it.

Sometimes people are forced to make terrible decisions.

....I guess it's no different than what we've been forced to do twice already.
