Week 0, Monday

[trifocal]

[ if richie enters one of the souvenir shops at the boardwalk, he will be immediately greeted by the sight of Eupha turning away from a rack of sunglasses wearing a pair(?) of these. ]

...

Oh, excuse me! I hope I'm not in your way.

[gutterbound]

[I'M LOSING IT.]

...No?

[Hi there. Uh. Sort of nods and smiles, incredulous but politely so.]

Neat shades.

Week 0, Friday

[trifocal]

[ It's been a few hours since our dead announcement and Eupha's in the mansion common area, looking at her phone. ]

It seems there is still no word from the angels... I suppose we will need to wait for tomorrow to learn anything more.

... I'm not quite sure what to do with myself in the meantime.

[ depressing. ]

[gutterbound]

Me either.

[He's looking frazzled. Low in colour, and his hair tousled by a hand going through it roughly once every half hour. Here he goes again, as if rubbing his dome is going to jumpstart his brain into high gear.

Too bad. He's still coming up stumped.]

Where were you? You get caught up someplace unexpected too?

Week 1, Monday

[trifocal]

[ It's morning!! It's winter!! Eupha is out in her normal cloak, looking at the Christmas scenery. She is observing the big Christmas tree in town. ]

Do the people here make offerings to this tree...? What an interesting custom!

[gutterbound]

[PAZU DID I REALLY MAKE YOU START THREE PCS FOR ME IN A ROW?? SHAKES...MY MANNERS...]

Actually the offerings are for us, kiddo.

[He looks over her cloak, which is reminding him of his youth...the actual 60s...my god...but also he'll crouch by the tree and start to look through the gifts.]

People put gifts for their family and friends under it, and come the big day they open them all together.

Week 1, Thursday

[trifocal]

[ wherever richie is, eupha's coming to check on him!!! how does he look. ]

Were you able to have your wounds tended to?

[gutterbound]

[SWEET EUPHA!!!

He looks bad but most of the damage was to his back. And the empty arm socket. Otherwise it's a lot of blood loss and dizziness, alongside pain. Our convenience store medicine...]

They tried. [He shrugs on his good side, a little haplessly.] There's only so much you can do with a couple rolls of medic tape and a dream.

Did you talk to the other three?

W2 MONDAY

[gutterbound]

[Let's go into this house of cards Eupha.]

Jesus, this is creepy. [squints.] And also hard on the eyes.

[trifocal]

[ hello... thanks to the weekly effect, eupha is still very normal but has a cool accessory on her face. ]

It does look as though this place was built to confound and disorient...

W3 MONDAY (CW: Child violence, censored racial slurs, bigotry, referenced animal death)

[gutterbound]

[Hello darling eupha are you enjoying the funhouse?

let's go back IN TIME]

[trifocal]

[ HELP...

eupha startles when the memory begins suddenly, holding her hands up in front of her face... then slowly lowers them but still looks vaguely alarmed throughout. ]

W, was this normal, for your childhood?

Week 3, Friday

[trifocal]

[ happy death day... eupha can be seen sitting in the mansion lobby. she sits very quietly, staring down at her phone in her hands.

she seems a bit out of it, as she doesn't react when richie is nearby. ]

[gutterbound]

Eupha?

[Richie will walk over, but with a care for how she reacts. Trying to catch her eye.]

Hey, you hanging in there, kiddo?

W4 MONDAY

[gutterbound]

[in the candy armory! Picking up a blue raspberry mace with one hand.

the sugar holding the head up immediately gives way and it smashes to the floor.]

...That answers that question.

[trifocal]

Even the weapons are candy?

[ eupha picks up a candy corn spear out of curiosity. at least it doesn't fall apart immediately? ]

This is... novel.

Week 5, Monday

[trifocal]

[ in the old west car... looking at a giant centipede go by... ]

... Giant snakes are forbidden, but these are allowed...?

[ unfair. ]

[gutterbound]

[absolutely mortified.]

Jesus god, aren't they bad enough when they're three inches long?

[wait hold up]

Giant snake?

W5 THURSDAY

[gutterbound]

[ARE YOU STILL DRUNK

Bringing her some fries and a coke actually, i hope she's in the horsepital]

Feeling evened out yet, Miss Eupha?

[trifocal]

[ well...

she's sober enough to look a little sheepish about it. ]

I think so...

[ she's in the hospital. sitting upright, arm bandaged. she has a computer keyboard at her side for some reason. ]

Week 5, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ after the trial...... ]

It seems we solved it, but... I do not feel that I understand anything.

[gutterbound]

Yeah. I don't know how much to buy into any of these crime scenes and how much is just the hand of our beloved meddler, scooting us around the game board.

W6 MONDAY

[gutterbound]

[well eupha were you feeling safe in the mansion lounge.

Because there is a sudden stench in the air. Something fetid, like rotting flesh. Almost like it floated in on the wind, except you're inside, so why would that be the case?

And there seems to be a faint strain of music coming from nearby.]

[trifocal]

[ hm. gross?

Did someone leave something out in the kitchen...?

she'll go take a peek in the kitchen, first. does the music seem to come from any particular direction? ]

Week 6, Thursday

[trifocal]

[ where is richie, is he hopital

she shows up with a bottle of water. how is he looking. is the arm still here ]

[gutterbound]

[he's so hopital. Looks at her upon entering, trying to sit up but flinching. His FUCKING ASS.

Also his face is in bandages and his left foot is in traction. Missing arm is ??? No one seems to have accounted for it I guess it is just out there.]

Is Taair all right?

Week 7, Monday

[trifocal]

[ eupha can be found at candyland!

looking around. bewildered. at least she brought her lance. ]

What is this place? It's nothing like before...

[gutterbound]

It looks a little like home. [Said with a mild horror. He's unarmed but healed, thank you Shadowheart. He's especially glad now that they're walking around this horror show. He doesn't like the idea of hiking through here on a crutch.

Not to mention if anything happened to Eupha he'd feel utterly rotten. Maybe she's battle capable but she's still young and all too sweet, he'd never clear it off his conscience.]

Well, home if you took a baseball bat to everything you saw. There's not even a castle anymore. It's almost a completely differenct place...

Week 7, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ back at the mansion. she greets richie with a smile. ]

God's judgement was exactly as I thought it would be.

But... I am going to miss all of this. And you as well, Richie.

[gutterbound]

[meeting her with one as well. Then pulling mock surprise, looking behind and all around him before turning back to her, pointing a thumb to his chest.]

Who, me? Surely you jest. [But he reaches out and pulls her into a hug, come here you.] I'll miss you too, girly-girl. God, tomorrow's gonna be a rough one.
