Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[Four people dead now - six, if you include the crew. Things have been a little rough on the Starfield Penitentiary this week. Blaze Dudely doesn't make a public reappearance during the weekend, so you've got a few days to yourselves to recover, though he's probably still sticking to his office hours if you really feel like going to see him. On Sunday morning, you may find that you're recovering a a few other things as well - both strange dreams and some new items.

In addition, there's a new set of doors at the end of the corridor, by that empty space where you'd been having your fight club. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[Will sees the people congregating around ... something? on the ground, so he steels himself and waits to see a body lying on the ground.

...

He's not expecting to see a dog plushie, stabbed on the ground.

...

And then he catches sight of the tag around the plush dog's neck.]

... What the hell??

[He seems oddly angry about a plushie dog with a knife through it's back.]

[pr159]

[ And adding one more person to the crowd... Rideaux looks back at Will with a raised eyebrow after hearing that reaction. ]

Problem?

[ A slight smirk plays on his lips. ]

Don't tell me that was yours.

[empathiser]

[Rideaux, have you considered not being a shit for once in your life?]

No. But it looks like and has the same name as my dog.

[This isn't a nice implication, ok, his dogs are great and Winston is really great.]

[pr159]

[ Nah. ]

So, what, you think someone plunged a knife into a stuffed toy just to mess with you?

[empathiser]

No.

I just don't like the implications of stabbing my dog.

[pr159]

And what are the implications, exactly? If it wasn't someone trying to get a rise out of you?

[empathiser]

That someone really doesn't like dogs?

[Who doesn't like dogs??]

[power_of_dominance]

Will?

[Soma pokes his head out of his cell, looking groggy. He clearly hasn't slept well since Sunday.]

What's going o-- what in the world...? That... that's really twisted....

[Ritual murder of a plushie? Someone is a sick bastard.]

[empathiser]

[Psychological implications of stabbing a plush doll aside, it's still just... disturbing to see. Especially when the plushie is probably meant to be your dog.]

Yeah. A little. [A lot.]

[power_of_dominance]

More than a little. Who's the sicko who thought this would be funny?

[Especially after what they all just went through....]

[empathiser]

Someone here, obviously.

[He's absolutely got a point though. Only a few days after a murder, someone stabs a toy dog and puts everyone on edge again.]

Someone with poor taste.

[power_of_dominance]

Are we sure it wasn't Dudely being an ass? I wouldn't put it past him to be that petty and gross.

[empathiser]

Doesn't seem like the sort of evidence he'd leave behind. Remember when he stabbed Shirou?

[That weapon was not like the one used to stab the plushie.]

[power_of_dominance]

[Soma winces and, for maybe a fraction of a second, the gray of his eyes flicker golden.]

... yeah. But nothing he does makes sense, outside of "what can I do to freak everybody out?" Maybe the weapon belongs to someone.

[empathiser]

[That was... different.]

Maybe. There have been a lot of items here that have meaning to some of us. I wonder who it could belong to...

[power_of_dominance]

[Hey he doesn't even realize he's doing it. He'll be as surprised as anyone if he finds out.]

I guess we can ask around. Hopefully the owner won't assume we're accusing them of doing this, though.

[empathiser]

I wouldn't stab a toy version of my dog, that's just morbid.

[chides]

[ well that's a creature that resembles a polar bear dog but it's. obviously not.

still, it belongs to will, and after hearing that it was supposed to be his...pet, it sounds like. ouch. that's rough buddy ]

I'm sure the real one's fine, Will.

[empathiser]

... [Well. No. The real Winston is probably a few thousand years long dead, but...]

I'd hope so. It'd be a new level of low to kidnap a guy and leave their dog for dead.

[chides]

Wouldn't put above our captors, honestly. But uh...yeah. I'm sure your dog's fine.

[ he believes that they can be returned to their original times, so. ]

[empathiser]

... Yeah. [He rubs his eyes, tired and exasperated.] Yeah, I hope so.

[SIGH.]

This feels so weird though. Who stabs a toy?

[chides]

Beats me. Maybe someone just wanted to be a jerk.

[ who DOES that ]

[empathiser]

Yeah. Sounds about right.

[a JERK.]

Seems like a lot of pointless action for no real outcome. [Other than everyone super confused.]

[chides]

Seriously thought someone was actually hurt with everyone crowding around...

[empathiser]

It's a more logical thing to think that... [he motions?? at this???] this. It's not a good time to be pulling jokes like this anyway.
