Entry tags:
• You're wearing either a butler outfit or a maid outfit—whichever one you would be most comfortable in.
• The goal, should your character choose to acknowledge it, is to "pretend to be a servant" and explore as many rooms as possible—this is innate knowledge. Exploring is the same as Betrayal—rooms aren't traditionally "exploradora'd" but instead "entered and now you engage with an item or NPC or event."
• That's right, this is kinda Betrayal! You have stats and will be prompted to roll dice on many occasions. To roll dice: type .roll xD3-x into #dicebot on discord, where x is the stat you're rolling for. For example, attempting a Sanity roll if you have 2 Sanity means you're inputting .roll2D3-2.
• Taking damage is a little different—here you will fill in boxes on the stat sheet when you take damage. If you take 1 damage, you'll fill in the first box in the bar. Take some more damage? Fill in another. If all four boxes of either bar are filled (including the skull,) you are not KILLED but instead punished. While you can suffer minor injury and annoyance while traversing the mansion, these particular punishments tend to be much crueler.
• Your stat sheets are here and, as an fyi, your unit powers are on.
NOTE: This mansion is not the House of Mirth—it's a mansion, but not that mansion.

You awaken in the Tea Room. Bright light fills this tiny space from the large bay window occupying the entire back wall. Hot cups of tea and small sandwiches are being enjoyed by a few of the maids who look one, like Silence with different hairstyles, and two, none-too-bothered to have you join their company.
"Oh. We have been found."
"Some relaxation and fun is fine, right?"
"Will you join us?"

You awaken in the Summoning Room. It is dark, and lit by melting candles that flicker sporadically. Before you are several individuals in red hooded cloaks, standing around you. Outlining the floor you lay on is a burnt hexagram. A wicked cheshire grin appears from the shadows of one's face—you can also make out a knife in her hand.
You are not bound, and you are not without a means of escape--there is a gap in the crowd surrounding you, just before the door.
> Attempt a Speed roll.

You come to in the Graveyard. As one would expect from such a place, everything is dead: the plants, the grass, and anything buried beneath the simplistic grave markers. There are no signs of any inscriptions. You get the feeling that whoever arranged this decided they didn't deserve a message. You don't really have time to consider that, if you even had.
You find yourself rapidly sinking into the dirt.

You have entered the Servant's Quarters. It looks more like a dormitory, with many single beds lined along either wall, dotted with end tables and chests. There are a handful of maids, all resembling Silence with different haircuts and hairstyles, folding their linens and going through those chests at the foot of their beds.
They all look up at you when you enter.
"Is this one lazing about?"
"The Master won't like that."

You flee the room, leaving behind the chaotic cult shit. In the rush you can't make out anything but your voice ringing as you make it out in time.
...with the knife in your back.
> Take 1 Damage.
And proceed to the Servant Quarters.

You pull yourself free--realizing just in time that it wasn't quick sand, but a bunch of hands reaching and grabbing for you. That gravestone made some great leverage.
From everywhere around you, and from nowhere at all, a voice laughs.
"Ehhhh, not ready to die so soon, Talon? That's some guts!"

As if I would be so easy to kill.

You'll find that there are some shadows sliding along the headstones, moving unnaturally. If anywhere, it sounds like it could be coming from them.
"What can I say? I do appreciate a challenge! Look, it's nothing personal, but so long as you've stepped in here it's free game."

You have a Knife now! If you decide to stab anyone with it, you'll cause an extra 2D3 of damage, isn't that great.
The maids collectively freeze.
It's the maid with her hair in low pigtails that speaks... very flatly.
"Are you injured? Did the Master do that?"

Of course. Do you at least have a name?

I dunno I kinda started running the second a knife came at me.
Uh for the second part.
I am injured yeah.
[reaches back to touch his back
I JUST GOT THIS OUTFIT GEEZ]

There are two exits, leading into the building--one headed North, and another headed West. There's no clear indications where they lead.
"Hmmmm~! The maids call me Master, and there are those of you who may call me Symphony... but I think I'll let you call me Zwei!"
"Hmmmm~! The maids call me Master, and there are those of you who may call me Symphony... but I think I'll let you call me Zwei!"
"Ah. It must be the Master's knife."
"If she did that, then..."
All at once they say: "There is no helping you. I am sorry."

I thought we got along better than this, Zwei.

"That is how it is, or we are punished. Besides..."
The Silence maid with the low pigtails steps forward--on the front of her shirt is a badge reading [Echo the 348th.]
"...we are all replaceable. Including you, I imagine."
You can see it now--all of the maids have these badges that read with Echo the 189th, Echo the 433rd, and so forth.

That's kinda fucked up and not okay.
"I mean, I think we did? You're not bad, Talon."
She hums for a moment.
"Except, this is my dangerous playground and you're just running around in it like a mouse in a maze, how could I miss the opportunity!!"

Their faces fall a little. One wrings her hands, another returns to her work.
"...you are probably like the nurse who runs the Trauma Center, then. We had hoped to avoid mentioning her."

I see.
As long as I am here, is there anything you need? That does not require me to injure anyone.
