Week 4 [Day 13-Day 15]

[calloperators]

[Well that sure was an eventful trial. But on the bright side it looks like there’s some justice in this world, as meager as it is.

But even with the success, something starts feeling off the moment they leave the trial. Even if you might not realize it at first, the people living in this town are starting to seem more distant than normal, although you’re still more than welcome to chat with them.

Along with that, delivery trucks are suddenly popping up all over the town. You feel like they’re watching you....but thats impossible--youve only ever seen them delivery real packages...right?

Perhaps more terrifying however, is that now the Bowling Alley and the Arcade are closed! That’s so much good entertainment… gone….

...Also, starting this week something new is happening with the ghosts. What is that? Well… just wait and see.]

Beach

[hotlinenpcs]

[Having fun, Michalis? Because as you're practicing, you get the distinct feeling like you're being watched.

... It seems like you're not alone on this beach.]

[iote]

[...Do you ever just hate your life.

Okay. So he's going to become aware of that rather quickly, just because hypervigilance isn't something that you leave behind on the battlefield; it's not something he's pleased with, but on the other hand, he's also aware that it's not the smartest idea to cross someone who's currently holding a goddamn battleaxe.

So. Stopping what he's doing, though not abruptly so as not to be immediately cause for concern. Spot check on this beach. Anyone visible?]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Don't worry about it!

About ten feet away from Michalis there's a clown doll, positioned so that she's looking right at you.

She's also wearing cute little sunglasses!!]

[iote]

[Oh, that's.

...

Cute, actually? Michalis was apparently born without the primal fear of clowns in his soul for some godforsaken reason, which is probably the strongest argument presented so far for Michalis not possessing a soul at all.

Anyway. Can he approach the stupid thing so he can get a better look?]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[You sure can! Don't worry, she won't bite :)]

[iote]

[He sincerely hopes not...

So. Hi. You're kinda cute? Can he make a poor life choice and pick you up.]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Yeah you can! But as soon as you pick her up, it feels like someone is speaking to you from inside your head. It's normal don't worry.

Hello, Michalis. Do not be afraid.]

[iote]

[...you know how the first day he was here, he threw the phone receiver

he also accidentally turned the power drill on

he threw that too

basically he responds to things making sounds they shouldn't make by, um

yeeting them

this thing is going flying, is what I'm saying

thankfully not in the direction of the ocean but a good ways over there and just. piff. into the sand THERE IT GOES.]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[She does not make a move to stop him, or brace herself from the impact. She is a doll, after all.

I am not here to hurt you, Michalis. You do not need to resort to violence so soon.]

[iote]

That wasn't violence. That was an indication that you shouldn't be speaking.

[...buddy.]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[I suppose I could stay silent and not give you the information you need.

How about that? Huh???]

[iote]

[...let's try not to yell at the talking clown doll and just go pick it up again. Maybe brush it off a little, because sand.]

What information do you speak of?

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Thank you.

I offer you my predictions for your near future. For you and everyone who's been taken here.]

[iote]

...I'll hear them, if nothing else, though I won't promise I'll believe.

[smallbutknowingclown]

[I offer three predictions:

A midnight man will be your beacon.
Someone you know will succumb to sloth.
You will be delivered to your final destination.

I ask that you tell the others as well, even if you don't believe me.]

[iote]

...Must all predictions and prophecies be so pointlessly vague? This tells me nothing.

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Hasn't anyone told you that patience is a virtue?

I will answer any further questions you have, if you want.]

[iote]

Can I take you somewhere with me tonight, so you can tell the others this yourself and I don't look insane?

[smallbutknowingclown]

[I'm afraid I cannot stay here long.

However, the ghosts can back you up on witnessing me.]

[iote]

...I don't know if you've noticed, but our ghosts are not the most trustworthy of people.

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Lack of trust will put you through more trouble than it's worth.

[iote]

...Look at Ladd Russo and try that again.

Are you implying that we're going to die at the end of all this? With that third prophecy.

[smallbutknowingclown]

[It's always a possibility, but everyone's death is not a guarantee]

[iote]

Just some of us?

[He doesn't like that wording, lady.]

[smallbutknowingclown]

[Well many of you are dead already.]
