( PROPHETS - WEEK 3 )

[abhoth]

On Sunday night, as soon as the grandfather clocks mark 6:00, a voice will speak to you. The tone may vary from person to person, the voice's pitch shifting and changing to suit her facilitators's needs — but the words will remain the same. Similarly for all those who can hear it, they'll suddenly find themselves captivated by it. "Come now, little ones. It's time to partake." And just like that, you find yourself drawn towards the nearest mirrored surface on the wall, somehow managing to avoid calling the attention of anyone who might be in the room with you. Though this is your first time participating in the ritual, knowledge still floods your mind. A light press of your hand against the mirror, and you will find yourself capable of stepping through the previously solid surface and into the shrine room. Here, you find yourself accompanied by two (2) other individuals. And though your handler can't be physically among you, you still feel her presence enveloping you and saturating the air in this room. Glance up, and through the glass ceiling you'll be able to see her in all her glory. It seems it's time for this week's sacrifice to be chosen.

Comments

[abhoth]

You may. Retrieve it from under your bed.

[perceptions]

Thanks!

...Also, on a more serious note: is what they said about Omega true? That she killed herself to make a deal with Craftly about my power?

[abhoth]

It is true. But worry not, little one, for she traded her life for nothing. The evidence you will produce will only lead to your role, and nothing more.

[perceptions]

Oh, I'm not worried. It actually gave me a pretty great idea to make things a little more fun around here. The last two trials were really boring I thought - too quick and not enough showmanship. I think it's time for another outing tonight.

[abhoth]

Interesting. I eagerly await the results, Mira. You have my blessing.

[perceptions]

Great.

...One last thing. In order to make my plan work, I need you to pass a message to Craftly. Would that be possible?

[abhoth]

The Innkeeper and his staff respond to me, first and foremost. If I will them to jump, so it shall be. Your message will be transmitted as you please.

[perceptions]

Thank you.

...But if I get caught and lynched, I'm just letting you know now that I won't be on clean-up duty before I die.

[abhoth]

You have run out of souls to sell to avoid chores, unfortunately.

[sorry mira]

[perceptions]

[wow mom.]

Ok but what if I give you one of the hearts I collected? I don't care much for Kamui's.

[abhoth]

Flesh matters hardly to me. Take this as an incentive to not emulate Tsurugi's performance.

[perceptions]

[Sigh.]

Fine. I can't promise I won't get caught when these guys are pretty smart, but if nothing else I'll be sure to make things interesting.
