pep!pep!

[ You spill out of the elevator into the nursery— the elevator is gone when you look back.

A nursery doesn't seem like something that should belong in this house. Though it hardly seems to be a nursery, on first sight. The walls are plain, unadorned wood. The desk has an inkwell and a blotter with the handle shaped as a coiled serpent. Inside the desk are ancient papers, rough-cut from a time before mass-production and each perfumed differently: red wine, black musk, myrrh, and attar of rose, with sigils unfamiliar and largely unreadable from stains and blots written out in shaky hand. The room is piled with atlases, scrolls in dead languages that detail nations long fallen, records of people met far in the past, never to be met again. They look well read. The only real sign this is a nursery is the bed— it's too small for an adult.

Time feels so agonizingly slow. Does the cramped space of the nursery tweak your perceptions? Or perhaps the shallow breathing that is starting to overtake you. After all, you don’t have much time left. This is your only chance to prove that their hard work was not lost in vain. You want to prove that you were worth it, didn’t you?

You look upon the works in the room and feel a great sense of despair. Resentment. Disappointment. But if you begin to pick up that job once more, you won’t be able to cross back. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, the sensation will overwhelm you.

A bloodstone sits on the desk.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (to get a smile or a laugh from your victim before killing them) as well as the item that you've been given (bloodstone). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

There is one exit: South. ]

Yuugi-kun!

[ Hiyori doesn't seem worse for wear, though he is fuming ]

Cobalt-kun and Pink-kun have wandered off somewhere without even saying anything! They should at least leave a note, yes!

Eve!

[ at least he's not alone, but it looks like things are already... terrible. ]

If they're in the house somewhere, then we shouldn't stick around here. [ he looks to wednesday. ] We should see if we can't find them, regroup, and... [ he makes a noise, because he really doesn't know. ] A note would have been nice, yeah. Something. Anything?

What is this place?
antidoting: (that's right)

A house with a terrible lack of lightning rods! When we were on the roof, one struck far too close! They also appear to have decorated for a halloween party, with terrible rogue cursed dolls and skeletons. Costumes haven't been provided, either.

It sounds like a terrible party... [ not that he really thinks a party is what's going on, but it hardly matters. he can already tell this house sucks. ] We should see if we can't find the others and then split, assuming we're not trapped inside. [ because that's probably a thing. ]

We were in the conservatory before they ran off. I have half a mind to leave them lost and alone as punishment! But I can yell at them properly instead if I find them, yes.

But that's assuming that's where they still are. It seems like this is a big house and I kind of doubt they'd stay put. We can obviously check there, since it's the last place you remember seeing them, but...

[ how long did you pass out for, eve!!! ]

[ Eve certainly doesn't know the answer to that. ]

Would you prefer to give up on them already, Yugi-kun?

W- What?! No! Never... It's worth a shot, to look there, I mean, but I don't think they're still going to be there. That's all I meant by that. It's not that I don't want to look... we're going to find them, we're going to regroup, and we're going to get out of here.

Perfect! Then we're completely in agreement, aren't we? So let's be off!

Wednesday-chan! You can feel better now then, yes? You have my sparkling presence to keep your spirits up, and also, Yugi-kun is here too!

I've already been here, yes! You know, I can't disagree, the best part of this would be if I wasn't here at all, but it's too late and whining about this won't do me any good, you know! So I'll just have to whine about things that whining might actually change.
