[ at least they are now all clothed. cloud in particular has his big ass sword too!! everybody wins!!

he is currently over in the clearly haunted house, looking intently at the window before he spots daan ]

Hey. You explored this place much yet?

[recession]

[ Hooray for their clothes... but also wow, how did that fit into that wooden box. He really got a huge-ass casket and had to fight extra leeches for it didn't he? ]

Mr. Strife, if I'm not mistaken. I've at least made use of the faucets here.

[ Because while they didn't talk on Friday, Daan was in a rough and filthy state when he showed up. He still doesn't look great, because even his clothes are kind of stained with this and that despite his best attempts to give them a wash. You can only do so much with water... but it's better than before. ]

See anything interesting?

[residentmerc]

[ we don't question inventory space in rpg land, lowe. it simply fit in the box and no one should ever think about it too hard.

but he did fight extra leeches. ]

Cloud's fine. [ he's not... old enough... for mister... the guy does look better, though, because cloud definitely noticed him looking Rough at arrival. he wasn't the only one, so there is no judgment, but he still Noticed enough to comment: ] Sorry about the lack of soap.

[ it must suck when you came in Roughed up. but at the question, he shakes his head ]

Interesting isn't really the word for it. Just freak shit everywhere.

[recession]

Yeah. You learn to really appreciate the basics.

[ He would really like some soap please. ]

That's apt too. And it looks like the environment is aware to some degree. People can't take their faces off of the bulletin, and items don't like to leave their original resting places.

[residentmerc]

Been there...

[ traveling is hard. he is commiserating. look at his social skills. +0.5.

anyway, he crosses his arms, looking ? ]

Items move back, too?

W0, friday

[recession]

[ Congratulations on being alive Cloud but I’m sorry about your temporary bf. Daan is indoors, rubbing at his face tiredly, looking out the window with a deep-seated concern. ]

[residentmerc]

[ honestly people cloud cares about dying is just what happens. did he actually care about aventurine. we will never know now ]

Daan? You alright? [ cloud is around. does he have a hand currently. you can decide but what he does have is a slight rasp from Smoke Inhalation, which is, as the mods said, real, ]

[recession]

Mr. Strife.

[ He sounds strained. ]

Your voice... are you alright? Let's get you some water...

[residentmerc]

I'm fine. Just breathed in some smoke. [ he's not saying no he just. hates concern ] You're not sounding so great yourself.

W1, monday

[recession]

[ Well... welcome to the summer island! Daan has no idea how they got here. ]

...What... where are we?

[ How did they go from dreary Scawwy to here? ]

[residentmerc]

[ oh good! daan is seeing it too! ]

... Don't think we're in the village anymore.

[ NO SHIT ]

[recession]

No, I don't think we are.

...

It's an island.

[ WTF? ]

I'm also certain it was morning, not evening.

[residentmerc]

[ looking around... themselves... ]

Yeah. [ there's a pause and he... shrugs?? ] So, more weird cult stuff. Might as well enjoy the change of scenario.

W1, sunday

[recession]

[ It's post-execution. Daan is just out here somewhere in the void, looking into the rulebook in silence. Sorry this is not a very talkative sort of pc opener. ]

[residentmerc]

[ hello void daan how are you doing ]

...Checking out the new rule?

[recession]

[ BAD!! Not as bad as yesterday though, gone from full disassociation to just being very unlively. ]

I am. Interesting thing to add, in my opinion.

They really want us to do this partners thing after all.

[residentmerc]

Difference between five dead in one weekend and a potential ten? 'Course they do.

[ SPEED RUN ENDGAME ]

W2, monday

[recession]

[ Good morning, vous arrivons a Silly until the shadows take us and put us into Helltown instead. They could've just been crossing paths and Daan was at least about to give Cloud a mild hello but instead he gets this nonsense flavourblasted around them. ]

[residentmerc]

[ sometimes you are about to do your morning silent greeting with people and get yoinked. it is simply what happens.

and because it is what happens, it's why he's left doing nothing but staring at nothing after that, the shadow still around them just waiting to send them back into memoryland ]

... Was that... [ what was that is part of the question, all of it, but-- ] Was that your version of the monsters here?

[ eyo wtf ]

[recession]

[ Eyo wtf indeed. He looks a little bit miserable at having to see this again -- seeing Marcoh and Tanaka again, as people. ]

...

Suppose that serves as a pretty succinct summary of why I had my fears about this place... and how familiar I just might be with everything going on here.

[residentmerc]

... Yeah. It says a lot.

[ the thing is cloud is absolutely fuckin' terrible at comfort, so he doesn't know what else to say about that. it feels invasive to ask questions! he will suffer, because i have them, and because we need to discuss this memory ]

How'd that happen? [ like. all. all of that. all of that ]

W5, monday

[recession]

[ Hallo, we're here in the Radio Shack. Daan is looking at a couple of things. He clearly hasn't got much of an idea of how to use these phones, but he does try to turn on a radio... only to hear a strange white noise, and almost like a low chuckle.

The emotion here is essentially a big OH NO and he turns that off immediately. ]

...

Oh dear. Hope that didn't let anything loose.

[residentmerc]

[ the emotion from cloud is exasperation. it's just This May As Well Happen, which is reflected on his face ]

... Wouldn't worry too much about it. Everything's haunted in this place already anyway.

[ what is one more ghost when they are all dead. ]

[recession]

I've had an unpleasant encounter with a radio... er, ghost, I assume it was.

[ Lets hope he didn't let loose a Poe around here. That'd be real bad. ]

Can't ever seem to take the locations and items at face level, can we.

[residentmerc]

Radio ghost...?

[ cloud has hilariously seen ghosts he just didn't know there were like. specific ghosts. that is what has him confused. ]

No, you shouldn't. That's how it's tricked us in the past with those little excursions.
