Week 3.

WEEK 3

Grace and Doug are dead. It seems that there isn't anything more to do but mourn your losses and try to move forward. The Transmitter's rules still hang in every room, a reminder of the only means of escaping this place.

But surely no one else will give into them, right?

Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Once again, however, it seems your efforts won't go unrewarded; another set of corridors have opened up, much in the same fashion as the other new area did last week. With them come new rooms to explore; maybe some of them will be to your liking.

Or perhaps it's better to say that hopefully some of them will; after all, if the Transmitter gets her way, you may be here for a very, very long time.

PATIENTS REMAINING: 26


SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Transmitter, you can do so through text or the phone in your room!]

[They warned her the road to winning the Holy Grail War would be paved with sacrifices.

Rin greets him with a grin, glancing down at the clock to get a gauge on the minute. How long was Rin timing him for, anyhow? Rin wants to commend him for the impressive feat.]


It's fine, I have a solid grip on it. I don't like machines, but you don't have to be a whiz to know electronics and water don't mix.
cthulwho: (☁ curious)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-19 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why is she grinning at him... He wonders if he should be concerned. But nevertheless he stays on topic.]

You don't like machines?

[He's pretty surprised to hear that. Aren't most teens these days obsessed with technology?]
heritrix: (the mighty)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-19 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She sticks her nose in the air.]

Machines are anathema, to one such as myself. I don't mind some aspects of it for modern convenience, but the remainder is unnecessary buzzing.

cthulwho: (☁ so confused)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-19 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a severe word to use.

[Just pointing that out. Truthfully, he agrees more than he disagrees, but it's still odd to hear it coming from Rin.]
heritrix: (you're the one with a warrant in ohio)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-19 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Which one? [She used several. But it's probably—] Anathema?
cthulwho: (☁ life is a chore)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-19 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whoops, he should've been more specific.]

Yes, that. It just...surprised me to hear it, I suppose.
heritrix: (majestic and shit)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-19 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It was the word that fit best for me, is all. Are you a fan of technology, Lovecraft?
cthulwho: (☁ onlooker)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-20 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He stops to think about that. His head momentarily dips further below the surface as he does so, so he ends up looking like some kind of creature from the deep with how his massively long hair is splayed out everywhere around him.]

I am aware of it? I use it sometimes when it's convenient, like you said. I wouldn't say I dislike it, I'm just...indifferent.
heritrix: (no wonder)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-20 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, the Grail naturally would have given him knowledge of how to operate such things.]

Mm, that's probably the best position to be in. Unlike me, you can walk the line.
cthulwho: (☁ glance)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't do much more to hold back his curiosity at this point, so...]

Is there a reason for that...?
heritrix: (two)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-20 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a mage.

[This is the first time she's said it out loud, though splashing and loud chatter from other pool-goers helps to cover it. Even then she would not have risked it, but she wants to see Lovecraft's honest reaction.]

The conveniences of modern technology are more often inferior to the magical tools magi like myself have used for the same purposes, for centuries longer.
cthulwho: (☁ ?)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-20 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Really.

[While his tone is flat, there's some definite curiosity in Lovecraft's expression. Now he's thinking back to the profiles, and... Right, "magecraft" is under Rin's likes.

He's definitely not unfamiliar with abilities that would be considered magical in nature, but to hear someone claiming to be a mage in particular... Rin isn't even the only one, is she?

With this knowledge...]


Then I assume you are among those coping with a lack of access to that ability.
heritrix: (huff)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-20 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[That wasn't a question she had prepared herself to be asked; as such it provokes an undeniably honest response from her. Rin looks away in a huff, clasping the tablet to her as she folds her arms around her middle.]

It's somewhat infuriating. I can get by without my magecraft, but if I had access to it for even a few minutes, we'd be long gone from this slaughterhouse masquerading as a hospital.
cthulwho: (☁ don't want to be here)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-20 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lovecraft watches on with curiosity, eventually nodding when Rin is finished.]

Yes... That is a common sentiment. And I suspect that is exactly why such abilities have been suppressed.
heritrix: (ho hum)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-20 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Precisely.

That said, it doesn't appear to be absolute. You were down in the water for a long time.

[Longer than any human could manage, she thinks.]
cthulwho: (☁ life is a chore)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-21 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a notable pause when Rin throws that out there.

So, she's been watching... Honestly, it gives him an uncomfortable shiver.]


It's not a result of magic, that's why.
heritrix: (glam)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-21 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, of course it couldn't be. Rin thinks of telling him as much, but wonders if that would make him more uncomfortable.]

So it's something you can do naturally.

[She's kicking her feet in the water again, looking down at the bottom.]

To you, being down there must be like paradise. None of us can bother you.

[...she notices the stuff Madison threw at him, various knick-knacks sunk to the bottom.]

Heh. For the most part, anyways.
cthulwho: (☁ nice going John)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-21 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods as a general confirmation to all of that.]

Well... It's one step closer, at least. It's more comfortable than my room, even though the chlorine is somewhat annoying.

[They are actually having a casual conversation about this.]
heritrix: 1804-41-4a24 (da fuck is this chickenscratch)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-21 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[She bounces, just a little.]

I forgot about that! Chlorine can really dry you out, you know.

[Man his hair is going to be a mess if he doesn't wash it out immediately when he leaves. Though that's not the actual concern here.]

You didn't get any in your... [Gills? Does Lovecraft have gills.] I mean, you didn't breathe it in, right?
cthulwho: (☁ the hell did you just try)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-22 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I know... It is not ideal, but it is better than having no way to submerge myself.

[The showers can only do so much! But at least they exist, especially to wash the chlorine off.]

I did not breathe any in, no. But it is rather irritating on my eyes.
heritrix: (dwayne "the rock" johnson)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-22 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, good good. So no bad chemical poisoning they need to worry about.]

We need to get you goggles.
cthulwho: (☁ curious)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-23 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Those would be nice, actually. I didn't even think to look for any in the changing room...

[Since he didn't even bother changing in the first place. Oops.]
heritrix: (daww)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-23 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
That might be an idea. I'm not sure if we'll find any, but swimsuits were provided.

[Eyes his mess of clothes. You know, subtle like.]
cthulwho: (☁ life is a chore)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-06-23 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
...How thoughtful of them?

[What are you trying to get at, Rin. He's not interested.]
heritrix: (listen up class)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-06-23 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
So. You know. They might have goggles too.

[Why would you want to wear so much clothes in the water, Lovecraft.]
