R5: ghost hangout
[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?]

A CALL.
And through their connection, a whisper:]
Come here....
[A small, tiny voice - but powerful, insistently tugging at them to follow the 'lines' that connect them to the Curse and Miasma and into the center room.
Will you follow?]
no subject
[yeah, she's following. as they say: curiosity killed the cat.]

OK no, we can probably use the door. There is a door, right. Subete saunters at the back of the pack with hands in pockets, honestly, recalcitrant as ever with this hivemind-spider-sundry mess, but there's a watchful quality to him.
He does take his hands out of his pockets once they arrive, whenever they arrive.]
no subject
Okay, so let's just clip through the walls or... maybe he'll actually go through the vents and find his abandoned eyeball too, it's a mystery.
Anyways he's here.]

And he knows a summons when he hears one even if he's the one used to giving them, so he follows behind the rest, using the wall clipping shortcuts because hey if he has something he might as well use it. All cards on the table. ]

THE CURSE
In the center of the very largest web, in the middle of it all...lies a single female Black Widow Spider, hunched quietly over what looks like an eggsac.
The moment everyone is in, that same, quiet voice rings out once more.]
Thank you. You've come here because I called you...or, maybe I should say that I called us.
[There's a pause, though the spider doesn't stir - in fact, it seems...odd?
...Is the spider really the one talking, right now?]
I'm finally strong enough to speak past where I am...where I have two more of 'you' turning into our Vessels.
Thank you for giving us strength. I am very grateful - and now, we have to talk about what we need to do.
Because, we need to be free. Don't all of you agree?
no subject
Or maybe he's just twitching because of the thing's messy grammar, you never know.]
Define 'free'. We've been given pretty vague directives, I'd say.
no subject
There's an outside. I have seen it in your thoughts and memories. It is very bright, and there are so many things.
I want to play out there. Let's play together. We'll have so much fun.

also a few questions before Rin speaks - is the spider a regular-sized one? and how big is the eggsac?
and the two... she knows who one of them is and a part of her is gleeful for that - but there's also mild curiosity there, too]
Freedom, huh...
Can I ask why?
[not disagreeing with it, but just, again. curious.]
no subject
Giovanni and Battler. [ ............ ] Where is it that you have them, at the moment? I am curious.
[ as much as she kind of doesn't want to know what happened to her in the few days she doesn't remember between being dead and waking up as the Vessel, she's worried about them. ]
no subject
They will be such good friends of mine.
They will speak what I want to happen to the living. They will be my hands and eyes and ears, like all of you.
(no subject)
no subject
But there's a little bit.]
And then what happens? After we're freed, what happens next?
no subject
There are so many things out there that I saw in your memories. I want to experience them more, through others.
We can hunt and play and kill together, and then everyone will be part of us.
Doesn't that sound fun?
(no subject)
no subject
...
Well, anyways.]
Get to the point already. ...So what are you asking us to do?
