week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Four weeks in the Starfield Penitentiary and seven people have lost their lives to Blaze Dudely's cruel game. At some point the robots cleaned up the mess left behind and by Sunday the involved rooms (including the fridge) are all clean and free of blood. In fact there's no sign left of any of the deaths that have happened on the ship so far by at least the next day. The only physical signs that people are gone are the empty beds.

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, in the space between the infirmary and the exercise yard. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[ It never is.

She looks at him, interest replaced by skepticism and a little hurt. Is he making fun of her? ]

You're making those up.

[silverguitarhero]

[He looks a bit offended as well at not being believed.] Lady, I'd not invent a-seeing the Hidebehind. I've no wish to see it again, and if I could forget its looks I would.

[ CT still looks skeptical, but she looks curious, too. John doesn't seem like the type to make up stories just to tease her, but then, who knows? ]

...So what's a "hidebehind"?

[silverguitarhero]

[He strums his guitar a bit as he thinks.] Folklore says it's a critter that's swift enough to always stay behind you, that no one's supposed to see. Most tales I hear, all it does is follow. But the grudge must have been strong, because it didn't care that I was there to see it. [He seems to shudder a bit.] Though I'll not try to describe more of it.

[tuskenlancer]

[ Folklore, of course. Her brow furrows as she tries to think of a real-life creature it might be based on, but nothing comes to mind. ]

...So you're the only person who's seen it?

[silverguitarhero]

Seen it and lived to tell the tale, I'd say.

[tuskenlancer]

[ She has to smile at that. Well. He's sitting here now, so, assuming he's telling the truth... ]

Yeah. I guess so.

[silverguitarhero]

Thank you for not a-going digging on that. [And we can probably fade out on him playing some more music in this nice greenhouse where no one is dead.]
