DAY 036
NOT EVERYTHING BURIED“Not everything buried is actually dead.
For many, the past is alive.”
— Louise Penny, Bury Your Dead
The dawn shines a new, horrible light upon a gruesome day. Those who escaped the wrath of the Hunt are left to tend to the dead, nine corpses of friends and family left surrounded by more blood than remains within them. The sight that greets each resident who finds one of these bodies is truly the stuff of nightmares, and even when the bodies have been dealt with, crimson snow and splattered floors will continue to remind them of these horrors until dealt with as well.
There is no fresh snowfall today to conceal or comfort those left behind. The gloomy grey of winter does not allow them to hide from this twisted reality that has become their lives, and Mathias will not hesitate to remind them who is in control.NEW ARRIVAL
The newest arrival to Mathias will wake up on the beach near The Grey Gull. It's quite cold outside, but surely there's something to help warm them inside the restaurant. A nice tall glass of moonshine is just what the doctor ordered to help them through this nightmare.
THE EARTH SHAKES ONCE MORE
Late into the night, residents will be woken by a familiar rumbling in the earth. Arriving without warning just as it did before, the earthquake sets buildings shaking and sends furniture and loose items tumbling to the floor with crashes that echo in the dark.
The town settles once more after around a minute of consistently powerful tremors. There is no structural damage to be found in any buildings around Mathias.CONDITIONS UPDATE — THE WEATHER is fairly typical of a northern winter. The sky is almost always grey and the temperature is below freezing during the day and even colder at night). The sun sets early in the evening. Residents should bundle up when going outside and not venture too far into the dark night...
— THE FOG remains blocking the paths in the forest beginning a few dozen yards past the treeline, urging residents to stay huddled within the town proper, and it also now blocks the western section of town, beginning just past Hill Lane, before where residents know the chasm in the earth to be between Hill and Stine Road. Venturing into the fog is ill-advised.
— DISAPPEARANCES continue. Eliot Waugh has now vanished as well.
— THE GREY GULL now has a working bar! The selection is not quite what it once was.OOC NOTES — FOOD will be restocked in some fashion in the next log, don't worry. We aren't going full survival mode yet.
— REWARD REDEPEMPTION is on hold for this log. Sorry, friends! It'll be back next round.
— HOUSEKEEPING Please be sure to have a look at this post in regards to sanity loss from the Hunt and what is being done with the corpses of the Hunt's victims.
— MOD STATUS What will become a regular reminder that it's mostly just Amy steering this ship for now, so things will probably be pretty slow for a while. Apologies in advance, and please don't feel shy about pinging me if you're stuck waiting for something.
