week 1: monday

[highestheim]

[ henlo cloud what are you doing in the new hallway of doors? hope is looking wary about the idea of going into one, but it also looks like his mind is made up. with a glance toward cloud, he asks dryly, ]

Are you also here against your better judgment?

[skyagain]

[ in cloud's defense he has a giant sword that won't be useful at all if they have to fight clowns? but yeah, he's looking at the doors when hope says it ]

Yeah. Thinking if I somehow get infinite hallways for a third time on a different floor, that's when I'll call it quits for real.

[ this is like gambling. maybe something will be useful. ]

rng gave me 9 im in tears

[highestheim]

[ he nods. mood! ]

As stupid as this might feel, I'm not exactly a fan of sitting around when I could be gathering more information.

[ and with that, he volunteers as tribute and grasps a knob at random. ]

Want to accompany me?

[skyagain]

[ cloud during 9 like NEVER MIND I'LL TAKE HALLWAYS. but yeah he follows ]

These didn't go any better with people, but they didn't get worse, either. Might as well.

[ that's a convoluted yes ]

[highestheim]

[ the door opens! wow. shock. amaze. hope squints as the door closes behind the two of them, trying to suss out any investigation pixels in the corners of the room... ]

...Nothing appears to be off, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's safe.

[skyagain]

[ it's just a room. hm. cloud looks around every which way ]

... Is something supposed to happen?

[ maybe if they explore more of this very thrilling mystery ]

[highestheim]

To be fair, with the rooms from last week, most of them also took a moment for any effects to kick in...

[ he's gonna start looking at chairs. on the seats... under them... he checks the ceiling just to be sure??? ]

[skyagain]

[ according to ff7r, cloud is genre savvy enough for this, so after watching hope look around for a bit.

cloud walks over to the door that is still there and tries to open it. which. it does. ]

...

I think this is just a room.

[highestheim]

. . .

There has to be a catch.

[skyagain]

... Won't know until we try walking out.

[ he looks at this waiting room ]

And nothing's happened still.

[highestheim]

. . .

[ tentatively walks toward the now open door? ]

[skyagain]

[ he follows!

nothing happens. the door stays open both ways. they are now in a hallway, but on the other side is the waiting room. ]

...

Just... a room.

[highestheim]

...

That was anticlimactic.

[ . . . ]

Should we... check out another one?

week 2: sunday

[highestheim]

[ cloud your wolf... after execution, hope comes to check on him in some nebulous location. ]

...these past few weeks haven't been too kind to you, have they?

[skyagain]

[ cloud is looking out into the distance of this nebulous location, shrugging one shoulder ]

Haven't been kind to anyone. I wouldn't say I won worst luck this week.

[highestheim]

Maybe so, but it seems like these have been...a little more personal for you.

[ the redacteds... ]

You, Clementine, and Bucky are all from the same game, right?

[skyagain]

... Yeah. Bad luck, I guess.

[ three out of four redacteds agree dying fucking sucks ]

[highestheim]

...Were you close to him?

[skyagain]

[ there's a kind of sigh, because the actual answer is an "iunno" noise, and that seems a little rude to say ]

Wouldn't say close, but... He was on my team, back then. And the same thing happened to him. Couple weeks later than this, though.

[highestheim]

The same thing... he was also scapegoated then?

[ oof ]

[skyagain]

... Yeah. I was hoping he'd stay out of trouble this time.

[highestheim]

...It wasn't exactly his fault, though. I don't see how people assuming he would wear a leather jacket counts as him getting into trouble.

[skyagain]

[ hope please do not be pedantic when he is saying that he was hoping the dude would not get scapegoated again ]

I don't see how we got to that conclusion in the first place.

[highestheim]

[ sadly he is like this ]

Neither do I, to be honest. [ ... ] It hardly means anything after the point, but I didn't think it was him.

[skyagain]

It doesn't change anything, no. [ blunt. but, alright, he'll bite; ] Who did you think it was?
