3.0 - week three

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

Why would I do that if it’s not poisoned? Wouldn’t that be like false advertising?

[exofractured]

The entire nature of poison is false advertising.

[There's probably nothing poisonous available here anyway... right... Phantom gives the concoction a suspicious little sniff anyway.]

[escardos]

Not really. Frogs, snakes, and even most cartoons will show you if they’re poisoned or not. That’s why they’re colorful. That’s why you never drink out of the skull chalice.

[ he sounds very serious about this.

anyways, the cup smells almost…sour. acidic. like a sour candy turned into a drink. ]

But I’ll let you know if I ever want to do a study with poison!

[exofractured]

In the wild, yes, because poison is meant to deter predators--

[But Phantom just stops before he can get a good windup going because what's logic going to do in the face of skull chalices. Honestly.

...Sour candy isn't the worst smell. Maybe he was just paranoid?]

That would be... quite helpful of you.

[escardos]

That's true! In that case, would you say that poisoning is actually more like being injected venom or like being poisoned by an animal?

Either way, that cup has neither of those things. It's like... an energy drink! And I think you're someone that needs it, Mister Phantom.

[ he looks expectant. come on, now. ]

[exofractured]

That... I suppose it would be more similar to venom, yes.

[...Flat isn't wrong about the energy thing though. Especially this week. Phantom takes a slightly resigned drink.

is this the chocolate syrup abomination or]

[escardos]

[ for the sake of phantom's sake it's ~*worse*~.

or, maybe it's better.

depends on how much phantom enjoys having energy drink mixed with what seems to be sour candies that have sunk to the bottom. ]

So? What do you think?

[exofractured]

[This is what he deserves for entertaining this for even a second. At least... it's not spicy? But the energy drink sure has dissolved the sour coating in particular and not the nice, sweet candy center that would have moderated its cruelty.

This is probably what death tastes like. Please ignore the spluttering.]

...It's very... bracing. You should certainly try some as well.
