Game 19 - Group B

You are in a small, square room—no more than five or six paces across in either direction. The décor is cramped, black, and gothic a darkened library jammed so full of books and antiquated furniture that you have to be careful moving around to avoid everything.

There is a single window on one wall—covered with heavy red curtains for ambiance, but you can see that it's boarded over on the other side.

The second wall has two large bookcases full of nicely bound books. Between them is an unlit fireplace with a lintel that has several figurines and candlesticks on it, and above that, an absurdly large portrait of a very unfamiliar and gothic-looking noblewoman. Displayed prominently on the fireplace is also an antique gun. For some reason, the painting and the gun have garishly orange pieces of tape stuck to them.

The third wall has a lamp, a liquor cabinet, and a music box on a stand. There is a small stairwell here that goes straight up to the ceiling and then abruptly stops. The outlet for the lamp also has tape on it.

The final wall has a door, which is heavily padlocked, a grandfather clock.

The center of the room has a squat, round coffee table with a ouija board on it. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling, some sort of twisted monstrosity made from animal skulls.

Neither do I. I've summoned people before, but I've never been summoned.

Summoned! Really? Like in video games?

Like in grimoires, but yeah.
hardatwork: (sigh)

Ah...

...My next question is a little odd, but no one remembers dying before arriving here, do they?

[it's a question to anyone]

Definitely not. I would know.
hardatwork: (no way...)

All right, that's good.

Not... specifically before arriving here?

Re: DISCUSS

[personal profile] hardatwork 2016-12-03 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

...Does that mean you've died another time...

Re: DISCUSS

[personal profile] rootless 2016-12-03 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... a lot, really. It's kinda... [shrugs.]
hardatwork: (now what?)

Re: DISCUSS

[personal profile] hardatwork 2016-12-03 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no - please excuse me! I shouldn't pry. I only asked because the last time I woke someplace unfamiliar, it was... well... it was because I died for a moment. This seems much different than then, however.

Re: DISCUSS

[personal profile] rootless 2016-12-03 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I get that. Don't worry about it. We're probably not here because we died, though.
hardatwork: (well?)

[sighs, nods]

Which is a relief.

Re: DISCUSS

[personal profile] rootless 2016-12-03 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, could definitely be worse.

Indeed.
