Night 16, before midnight

[shuttersense]

Marian here, making roll call.

Is everyone all right? If you can help it, Do not go outside. I repeat, do not risk leaving a safe location if it can be helped.

In the castle- if the basement is compromised, stay in the rooms that give off the slightly warm feeling when you cross the doorway. Those areas should be safe.

There may be a room on the main floors that has this, as well as food.

[Maybe she should try drawing a map...no, not now. Hopefully people aren't inside the place, and no one has decided to have an adventure in the maze tonight.]

In the meantime-we could try to entertain each other while we wait, if you want?

Maybe do a name game, tic tac toe, something more complicated to make the time pass faster.

[Please help her. She hates being confined, and she's going slightly crazy with cabin fever.]

[Without any prompt:]



Just to start off... If you want, I have some other ideas for other games.

[shuttersense]

[Oh...that's a good one.]

Oh, this is a good idea. Thank you. What other games, if you don't mind me asking?

[darkgame]

Don't give me any credit, you're the one to suggest that one.

As for another suggestion? Word games. Start with the first or last letter of the word, and the next person must come up with another word that starts with that letter. You can't repeat letters, though.

[He's quick to add a diagram.]

Apple --> elephant --> tank.

[shuttersense]

True enough.

So with the word game you could only use tilt or key?

[darkgame]

Right! You catch on quick.

The goal is to continue until someone repeats a letter. It's a game that's typically played out loud, but this way you can take the time to think about words rather than worry about what's happening on the main floor.

[shuttersense]

Very true! That's a good suggestion. Thank you for this.

I know that I could really use the distraction, especially a harmless one like this.
