( 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

[disinterested]

They may not be aware of the Prophets' existence, specifically. They could just believe that they're making the kill easier for anyone who chooses to carry one out that week.

Seeing as how our complete victory would require their death, I wouldn't see them as liking us very much.

[perceptions]

True. But, it seems odd. The Teacher can either make someone's odds of survival better or worse... and two weeks now they are making it worse. That spells bad intentions.

[disinterested]

Mm-hmm. In other words, we can eliminate any do-gooders from the list of candidates, and assume that the Teacher likely intends to be among the last few standing no matter the cost.

[perceptions]

Exactly. It eliminates a good chunk of potential candidates. Of course they might always target one of us. It seems so far they're going for people with more of a presence.
