"How frightening..." Wesley muttered. He didn't seem to have any intention of answering the voice.

It should be noted that this is a part of the game. Of course, she has been permitted to give a rather large sum of money to any player at her discretion.

Of course, many of you might not be willing to speak with a seeming ghost. This is a part of the game as well.

“This is getting...extraordinarily strange,” Vivienne muttered, clutching her forehead in confusion. “Is she...trapped in the rock? And she’s apparently part of the game too?”

“Miss Hawthorne...Where precisely are you right now?”

"Those rocks... They say they make strange noises, and can be used to communicate with the dead. But that can't be true. That's not what's happening here," Wesley stammered. "Besides, Hazel's with us right now, she's not dead..."

"Wesley? Wesley? Are you there?"

She sounds desperate and sad all of a sudden.

The humming of the rock seems unmistakably like Hazel's voice at this point. The players recall the book which Hazel had found in the parlor originally and held onto (which Wesley is referring to), which described the green stones as being used to communicate with the dead...

"Have you forgotten me?"

Maximillion tutted “Clearly some newfangled part of the game but alas it seems the spectres seeks Naught from me.” He shrugged extravagantly and turned his back on the stone, scarf swishing indignantly “I suspect you should speak with the stone good sir.” He said looking back over his shoulder to Wesley.

Hazel simply stood behind the others, trembling slightly. Her eyes were pointed directly towards the stone. She didn't utter a single word, waiting for Wesley to say something. She looked like she was in the middle of trying to recollect something deep down from the recesses of her ancient mind.

Wesley sighed. "This is not an easy choice. You are among the three I particularly don't want to attack... I suppose I'll just have to be as fair as possible and go by money total. I'll direct the life-loss towards Luka."

Astrid, who had stayed quiet during the whole ordeal with the stone, watched over the results announcement uneasily.

Code:
Luka loses 2 more lives.
Astrid loses 1 more life.

Luka has 0 lives remaining, and will be sedated now.


Seeing that result is a little bit surprising, even though it was in the original game explanation.

Lukas's watch blinks red and reads "Sedating" on it.

One additional aspect of this game, which had not been revealed to this point is the fact that the player who has been attacked the most in each stage will have one fact revealed about them.

Here is your fact about WESLEY NAUGHT:

Public records in Fox Harbor state that Wesley Naught was born in Fox Harbor hospital 38 years ago. His mother and father died before he was two years old, leaving him an orphan.

“What the fuck?!” Luka shouted, face red. But his anger didn’t seem to be directed towards Wesley.

“I knew I never should’ve trusted you assholes.” He muttered to Max and Ember. “You accomplished jack shit—there’s no way you’re gonna be part of the prize pool this round.”

Ember didn't even look at Luka's eyes as he cursed her out. "Oops. Did I say Wesley would attack for sure? I meant he'd defend for sure, since I warned him about your attack. Sorry about that."

"But props to you, Max. I guess I should've known you were too clever for this."

"Because each player has three lives, obviously." she finally looked at him in the eyes. "If only you and Max had attacked, that wouldn't guarantee someone would be out of the game. So I pitched in, to give that last point needed. It's really just mathematics. Of course, not everything went according to my plan, but the end result is what matters."

The light on Lukas's watch stops blinking and instead glows with white light.

Code:
Luka is done being sedated.


Seconds pass... Is there something strange going on? Luka looks unchanged.

Maximillion laughed heartily “Oh ho Ember! But what a joy it was! And I suppose you still successfully took someone out of the game. So you still have still accomplished a great deal.” He pumped a fist in celebration of Ember.

“More damage is yet to be done though isn’t it?” He looked back at the rules. “Luka took one point of damage from Anna, and Wesley deflected three no? Luka would go down in two, allowing one left over point of damage to be redirected if I am to understand it correctly.”

Max blinks and squints “Oh goodness me, it was Astrid who took that other point of damage. My mistake!”

"...Huh. Well, that was a little weird," Stella mused. "Admittedly, I was starting to think Zero was really going to sedate you and got a little anxious, but I guess it's just like the Werewolf game where we voted to 'kill' someone."

"The fact revealing aspect certainly throws this game for a loop..." Wesley muttered uncomfortably. "In any case, Luka, how are you feeling? I must admit I wasn't considering the 'sedation' consequence when I made my choice. I hope it really is only metaphorical."

“I’m fine”, Luka assured Wesley and Stella. “And I don’t feel any bad way about what happened, it was my bright idea to trust her and I guess I got my just desserts out of it.”

“But still, it felt like he injected something. Probably some gross-ass saline. Guess he wanted to keep the theatrics.” Luka didn’t look at anyone as he spoke, clearly feeling uncomfortable with something.

"I am guessing that 'sedation' in this sense simply means abstaining from subsequent votes in this game." Maximillion mused "Zero can you confirm what it is you've done to Luka?"

Circumstantial monitored sedation was included in the waiver for the game.

Luka or at least the person wearing his watch has been given the sedative. If he is not tired yet, he may never be.

Ember didn't say anything, but she looked a lot more uncomfortable now that the person she double crossed didn't get sedated. She crossed her arms and tried to avoid eye contact again.

Anna looks fairly relieved at Luka not being sedated. "I was worried that it'd actually put you to sleep! Sorry, by the way. Oh, did we ever figure out what the voice was?"

This round can and will put people to sleep upon loss. Luka qualified for receiving the sedative. Everything is fine from the admin perspective.


The stone has stopped talking. Apparently, whatever was haunting it has lost interest in conversing.

“Since we aren’t doing anything else while waiting for the game to continue,” Astrid suddenly spoke up, “Why don’t we try to entertain ourselves a bit? Luka.” She suddenly turned towards the youth. “You’ve mentioned a couple of times that you researched symphonic warblers for your college applications. Why don’t you tell us about what you found? I, for one, and quite interested, and given what we’ve uncovers so far, it may end up being relevant to this game.”

"Eh, I don't know... I don't really feel like it." He stretched in an over-the-top manner. "But since you're really twisting my arm here, I guess I can give the abridged version.

"The Symphonic Warbler is an endangered species, but you already knew that." He added with a smirk. "It's been in my hometown thousands of years--sounds like home for a lot of us, Fox Harbor? Anyway, rumor says that it can be resurrected somehow. That’s what the natives who worship it think at least. And fun fact, but every single warbler has a unique song. Like snowflakes or fingerprints. Err, more like fingerprints.

"Eventually I had a hypothesis—what if the Symphonic Warbler’s songs might have something to do with its ability to come back from the dead? I came across something called the Morphogenetic Field Theory, which is a pseudo-scientific theory that says that information exists in a plane above the material plane, and that the thoughts and souls of living creatures actually exist on this plane. Occasionally a person might access information through the field when they experience intense situations, such as danger or epiphanies. The theory was used to explain a series of phenomenon like ghosts, strange coincidences, and shit like that.

"What if the soul of the Symphonic Warbler existed on the Morphogenetic Field, and what if their souls were pulled back out of the Morphogenetic Field to re-inhabit their bodies? This was the theory I began working on. My theory also proposed that two points on the Morphogenetic Field were proximal if they both represented the same complex piece of data. So if every Symphonic Bird could be very quickly identified by its call, then logic follows that its soul would exist around the same location. And of course, if one knew where the soul was on the Morphogenetic Field, perhaps it could be coaxed into inhabiting its body once again.

“But I couldn’t get any hands on a bird so rare, so research mostly stopped. My buddy and I tried to build a device that could replicate a unique sound. Who knows what we could do with that? What spirit we could call on? But it was really complicated, so we got nowhere.

"Pay attention now though--this is where it gets really, really bonkers. I found the recording device--it was here. In this game. At least I'm pretty sure that this was it, I was too occupied at the time to get a closer look. But Costeau joined in on the song that played. Stella knew what it was. Hazel too."

Luka shrugged as if to say he had nothing else to really add. "Weird, right? Really, really weird."

....

He paused for a moment, as if thinking. “Ok well maybe the recorder was a bit small, the one we were trying to make was like the size of a suitcase. And the sound here was more like people chanting. But the bird still sang, that counts for something!”

"...Indeed, young man. You are correct. I know of these wonderful birds." Hazel nodded affirmatively. "The warblers are truly beautiful beings. Their songs are one of a kind. I have heard them ever since I was but a child, their melodies drifting through the country air. I was also aware of their... immortality, if you will. It seems to be curious that is a linking feature of many of us here, though. To the point where one of them is even with us..." She stared at Costeau.

Maximillion stroked his beard thoughtfully “A morphogenetic field that can restore the soul to the body? That does sound like something out of science fiction. I suppose it truly is pseudoscience since I sincerely suspect the soul cannot be certified substantially” he muttered to himself before gesturing a hand off in Lukas direction “Besides, even if you could return a soul to a body, if the body was originally broken then the creature would still die correct? There must first be a working body in order for that to work.” Maximillion shook his head and smiled to himself “No...I’m very sceptical of this process but perhaps this game shall surprise me.”

"People chanting? Sounds like you may have found a recording of those people who worshipped the warblers, perhaps," Wesley suggested. "So symphonic warblers join in with that... Incidentally, I wonder if the commune we found mention of in the Emerald room also worshipped symphonic warblers?" He eyed Cousteau curiously as he said this.

"...Still, it's an interesting topic all-round," he added.

“Some...poems?” Vivienne replied, “Perhaps you could be more specific? That ‘weird stone’ is seemingly inhabited by a phantasmic Miss Hawthorne, so I’m certain those poems must have some deeper meaning as well!”
