It's not the "maniacs" we need to be worried about. It's the people who decide they're willing to kill someone else for a "good cause."

[the way he says that makes it clear that he does not ever think killing someone is a good idea]

I mean, someone in our group decided at the very last minute to purposely ruin our chances at reviving everyone. So.

[SHIRASU]

Wow.

What an asshole.

Yup.

So, there is a chance that someone might not care about the entire group as a whole, even to the point of potential sabotage. But if no one is immediately singling anyone out, we can at least assume we might not run into a problem like that here.

[at that Akira just. . . makes a face]

I hope we don't. We've all been through this once before.

People should know by now that we only survive by collaborating.

Let's hope so.

... but in regards to what you said. What was the setup? I know possession was a thing in some places. Ours wasn't like that.

[aha]

People weren't "possessed" as much as they were infected by the house itself. It turned them into monsters-- rat queens, kitsunes, dragons, zombies, you name it-- and those monster instincts were what drove them to kill others.

Finding those who had been transformed into monsters was our top priority. If we didn't out them at trial. . . then they'd just kill again.

The house sucks.

[ ... ]

For us, it was basically that every week, two people were approached and told they had to kill. They were offered a wish in exchange for pulling one off, but if that wasn't enough to convince them, then they were threatened as well.

[ah. . .]

. . . it sounds like a similar setup to what was happening in the wild west.

Mm.

So, we should probably look out for different potential setups here, I guess.

Yeah. So far it mostly resembles the castle, but--

[nobody said mods can't mix mechanics]

What do you think of our camp directors?

I don't know yet. They seem pretty... guarded? So far?

But that's not too surprising, since I doubt they'll open up in like, a day.

It's hard to tell if they're guarded because they're lying, or if they're guarded because something is keeping them from being able to talk.

. . . or maybe they're just vague on purpose. Who knows?
