UNHOLY DISORDER

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

Definitely. This isn't some bullshit game where the Dame can just magically decide last minute who's a monster and who's actually 'real'.

I think Sun Sign made it out of that one? Except for Acidia's hostage.

[ pauses to stop himself pinching the bridge of his nose unhelpfully. ]

That... I mean, when we all first got here, it took some time for it to sink in that stuff was real. So I get where he's coming from.

[ He shakes his head slightly. Because he doesn't think that's it - but he can't say that. ]

It's easier to just think the bad thing didn't happen.

Damn. That's a bad bit of luck.

The fact that you can eat shit and still win always throws me.

Yeah. It's kind of wild but I guess that comes with these being "performances" and not "games", huh.

Yeah... still. I wish I could make sense of any of it.
