Escape the mansion and bring evidence of the one responsible for this incident, or die trying.

Re: SOUTH

[identitypolitics]

Okay, that looks like... something potentially notable.

[ does the painting have anything on the back. can she take the candles ]

Re: SOUTH

[idolpro]

[ The candles.............are bolted down. They are not removable.

The back of the canvas has a long, long list of names and signatures in various levels of legibility. The frame is pretty and gold, but not particularly noteworthy. ]

[ click. click click click click. ]










@LAVA: They have disabled my offensive matrix.

[worldlyafflictions]

In game items only, I guess. [Comin' over with oil lamps and some matches]

[identitypolitics]

Oh, that'll work, though.

This was all behind the painting, so it feels like it should be significant?

[worldlyafflictions]

Guess we'll see!

[Handing over one of the oil lamps and a match]

[identitypolitics]

I guess I can just light all of them...

[ which she's going to start doing? ]

[warningbells]

@LAVA: Yes!

[worldlyafflictions]

The directions are 'get evidence' and 'escape' though. Hard ta know what the candles are actually for yet. But I think I found a book of victims, so maybe that part's taken care of...

[identitypolitics]

[ ok well she's just gonna light all the candles. that's fine. good job ]

[idolpro]

[ To the west, there's the sound of a distant, subtle click........ ]

[identitypolitics]

Oh, it did something.

Maybe it was the door?

[idolpro]

@LAVA: Affirmative.
@LAVA: i will go check.

[ she's going to go wander over and see if the door did actually like, open ]

[idolpro]

The door is unlocked for you, which means you can walk right in—! . . . right into a gas cloud.

LAVA and everyone else walking into the room will find themselves breathing in something most certainly chemical and painful, exhibiting the following symptoms:

• Coughing fits
  
• Blindness/eye irritation
  
• Difficulty breathing
  
• Insatiable itchiness

[identitypolitics]

Okay I guess that was not it.

Okay, uh—maybe we're supposed to light them in a pattern? A code or something?

[worldlyafflictions]

[Shoving the door closed again when Lava jumps back. He's got his mask on but his eyes are watering.]

--Ugh--well there's still the fountain ta check...

[warningbells]

@LAVA: i do not like water.

[identitypolitics]

Is it better news that it's blood?

[worldlyafflictions]

It's totally blood.

[Let's go see how much blood]

[idolpro]

[ It doesn't smell any more pleasant when you approach it. The liquid is murky, thick—it's hard to tell how deep or shallow the fountain runs. But it's definitely blood. All blood. 100% blood. ]

Re: 2/2

[identitypolitics]

Of course they have.
