See you at the finish line!

( HMD as well! )

If you're in Jigoku_Apts, can you please remove this journal? Thanks!

...What do you MEAN, five days?!

First I get some stupid video on my computer with weird crap on it, and then I get a phone call?

...Does anyone else know what the hell is going on?

[[The camera shows Richezza pointing at his wall.]]

Rise? I wasn't serious about the ghost thing. You can make that spot go away now.

[[He moves the camera to show a weird stain on the wall.]]

I really don't need that here, and furthermore...

[[He taps the stain once with his hand.]]

You'd bette-

[[Suddenly, numerous chalk-white arms appear from the wall and grab Richezza, causing him to lose his balance and be held against the wall. He's struggling and screaming, flailing his legs around.]]

RISE! RISE! THIS ISN'T FUNNY! MAKE THEM STOP, MAKE THEM-

[[He kicks the chair that the camera was balancing on, causing it to fall off and turn off, ceasing the video.]]

If anyone wants to hang out, let me know. Or, you know, we could just talk.

It's a little unsettling with the awkward silence in my room. Kind of creepy.

[[In what used to look like Richezza's apartment and is now in what looks like the interior of a cottage-y looking bungalow,  Richezza's seen scrubbing the kitchen floors. He's taken his gloves off, and his fingers look sore and tired from cleaning. Everything is very, very, very neat and tidy. As much as it can be, though. He's still scrubbing, though. Scrubbing hard. He's trying to make every single thing look ab-so-lutely spotless. But for whom? Why?]]

S-stepmother? I'm cleaning as best as I can. Could you please come take a closer look at this place to see if I've done a proper job? I've also prepared a bed, dinner, and a hot bath for you and your daughters.

{{OOC: Richezza's been turned into Ashputtel, the original version of Cinderella. Hopefully nobody is Cinderella yet, and if they are, I apologize! I'm jumping in late to the event, but I'll do my best.}}

[[There's a bit of mumbling before he begins to speak clearly. His voice is worried.]]

Okay, so. Uh. How'd I end up in here? This makes no sense. I remember fleeing with Maria, and the van was getting shot at, but we got away. They couldn't have brought me back, that doesn't make sense. Nothing makes sense right now! Boy, this place is creepy. Uh... Hello? Is anyone out there?

Anyone? Anyone at all?
