WEEK 5

[whimsicalism]

Five deaths in one week. With the end of the last trial, you've lost eleven people in total. There's only ten people in the twisted wonderland of the Castle. Even if the new area is cheerful something seems just a little bit off. The arcade has gained a new arcade machine and the ghosts in the graveyard seem to have returned to their mechanical routines. Your powers, too, seem to be gone once more. It seems Halloween has ended for good now as your fifth week in this strange building continues.

Just when will this game end...?

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[Oh, that- that is pretty sad. And relatable - since Nigel can't remember anything about his father, it's hard to know even if he was dead or alive. How about he just puts a few of those shivering pups on his lap.]

If it was them... Well... You're a good friend thinking so strongly about helping Jefri. It probably feels... bad...passing that up. But that's not something a friend would hold against you. I bet you're like his family too, aren't you?

[I mean kid plus dog usually equals a family dynamic in some way]

[PUPS ACQUIRED. The lap-Amdis snuggle against him while the rest press close to his legs.]

... Y-yeah, you're right. I know he wouldn't. We've been best friends for a whole year, we do everything together.

[The shaking subsides, but he's still tense, hesitant.]

[battlestations]

Then it's been a year since. I'm sure you've already helped him cope with his grief.

[ear scritches for the ones at his sides.]

Not just him. Many have died here... we need each other to carry on.

[octopups]

[The lap-Amdis nod their heads against his chest.]

Yeah... and he has his sister back now too, and Ravna is staying, and the other kids from the High Lab...

[He trails off for a moment.]

I guess... I guess, as long as people have each other... it can be okay.
