Day 31.

Weather: It's slightly warmer than yesterday! Does this mean it's time for winter to end, finally? Probably not. But let's be hopeful!

Events: Everyone wakes up in their own rooms, with a message waiting for them on the network. As usual, doors are locked until a question is answered publicly on the network. Today's question is...

What's something simple from your life outside of Mount Zenith that you wouldn't have thought that you would miss, but you do?

Once everyone can get out of their rooms, they're going to find... arms? In the hallway? That's weird. Somewhere near the staircases on each floor is a sconce affixed to the wall, but instead of a light, it's just an arm sticking out of the base. The arms connect to the base just above the elbow, leaving the lower arm and hand out so it could hypothetically hold a lamp, if it was actually meant to function as a sconce. They're all shiny black, like they're made of obsidian.

Obsidian doesn't move, though. These arms? Of course they move.

There's not a lot of motion from these things. When left alone they may change positions every hour or so, moving slowly into a new position. They are more reactive when someone comes near to it, and can be manipulated into other positions. That includes being coaxed into holding items, which they will do anywhere from ten minutes to up to an hour. That includes other hands, so the first person who tries to have a thumb war with one of these things is in for a shock.

The one on the second floor is a little bit strange, though. It's usually the same as the others, but every once in a while, the way the arm moves seems to be a little more human. It will start moving quicker, shaking and twisting, banging on the wall and trying to look for purchase to push itself, like it's trying to pull itself back into the wall, or free itself from it's trap. This never last more than two minutes, before it goes back to just being an usual decoration.

Finally, Joe has been removed from the house.
