R5: ghost hangout

[foundationmods]

[What's this? The fog of the miasma has pulled back, revealing a path down to the basement. None of the living seem to notice it though, only those who are dead are aware of it.

Down in the basement is a large furnished room. It doesn't seem as dusty as the rest of the house, and it actually seems lived in? Or...un-lived in, technically. But the lighting here works and there's plenty to do. Even if the ghosts might not need it, there's several beanbag chairs (brought in by one of the many groups of teenagers who have disappeared into the house), a large couch, and even a jacuzzi. Because even if you're in eternal pain, you can relax a bit, right?

If the ghosts look up, they'll see that the ceiling appears to be made of spider-patterned stained glass. Which is weird, considering that it should be floorboards and such. But the stained glass allows them to look up into all parts of the house and easily spy on the living. What they hear can be hit or miss, especially if the living are whispering, but seeing what they're up to should be easy enough.

Well. Might as well make the most of this space, right?]

[He catches that glance, but instead of looking away he holds it as if waiting to see if Subete actually intends on speaking up.]

[Well, they can have a moment or two of staring contest, oddly calm before Subete lets out a quiet exhale and tilts his head to examine Haku's expression -- or lack thereof. It's something notable in the sea of overexcitement and miasma mashing. After that, he breaks the silence.]

Penny for your thoughts?

[He's got half a mind to ask Subete if he actually cares or if this is just more of the usual shitstirring, but in the end Haku's also out of fucks to give about this whole situation. They're all dead, they're all stuck in a hivemind for god knows how long... who cares what anyone wants anymore.]

I wondered weeks ago if Hikage-kun was really something akin to the vessel of the last mansion he was in. He seemed to find the idea ridiculous at the time, but I suppose we're here now.
