ROOM 1; DAY 6;

ADAM PARRISH + RONAN LYNCH
BOYFRIENDS IN THE CONSERVATORY WITH A PLASTIC PLANT
LOW | COMPLETE

( Feed me, Seymour. )

If we're counting the attic as a crypt, there's a spot in the steps up there hiding a wedding ring that is now Gretel's so I guess that was a tethered, ball-and-chain reference from the typewriter with a weird sense of humor.

We kind of want to polish it though so can anyone post their best method to get a ring shiny?

Free from the basement and with a new key in hand. We still needing to unlock something? Looks a bit odd, though, so... probably not a door.

room 10

no t real

Who: Richie & Eddie
What: Checking on a feverish Eds, who decides now is a good time to ask how he died
When: Day 6
Where: Room 10
Rating: Mostly low - except the emotion is pretty heavy and they both leak from their eyes a little
Status: Complete

( It felt so long ago now. It felt like he didn't have any time left. )

The plants in the Conservatory are fucking plastic. I don't know what to do with that information so there you go.

Also this is gonna sound dumb as shit and I'm 100% reading into that stupid movie too much, but has anyone seen any noteworthy triangles?

[FILTER TO ADAM PARRISH]

When we get home, we should go on a real date. No death or dismemberment allowed.

Are you busy now?

Rey and I might have solved the ghost typewriter encryption:

A sly cwtch by my crypt curses me to earth.

Right, so, hit a bit of a snag this afternoon in the basement and suggest nobody else pop down here anytime soon unless you want to stick around. Literally. As in I'm stuck here and can't move my feet from this spot.

Related query... I hope. Anybody find a combination lying about? Three numbers.

I think I found something unusual in the ballroom, anyone want to come take a look with me?

Who: Richie & Constantine
What: THE CLOWN DOLL (and a glitter storm)
When: Day 6, morning
Where: Room 23
Rating: Mostly low - talk of grief/trauma, mentions of suicide
Status: Complete

( Now he looked like he’d been jerking off a fairy this morning. So there was that. )

So, if anyone heard that, that's what a hoarder avalanche sounds like. Nothing damaged except our only means of escape.

If I shimmy under the tunnel created by this fallen shelf, I can still get to the bathroom for water, but right now, it looks like our food options are limited to this box of hardtack biscuits from the Revolutionary War.

I thought I'd check out something new.

I'll take the ballroom again, thanks.

If dolls creep you out, don't go to the lounge. It's like something put them there. Or someone. And they seem to be watching a film. I didn't stay long enough to see if their eyes moved.

So. I found a crowbar in the kitchen.

In the oven. With the oven turned on. I don't know if that's significant, but there it is.

Give me back. My phone. Now.

All these anagrams and word problems -- I think we should keep track of them. Has anyone else found something strange written anywhere? Maybe they aren't supposed to be puzzles. Maybe something gets lost in communication between whatever is in this house and us. Like how that damn seance needed a conduit.

Maybe the house needs something to communicate more clearly.

I don't know. Right now I feel like I'm being pointed in every direction but the right one.

So, the attic is empty.

A typewriter in the study ghostly typed out:

d fsi brubk mi xi byiwu boyftf xt uq tdyuk.

Could be nothing. Could be something.
