Day 009
Once again the sun rises, and while it it quiet throughout the house, the lights are still off. It's another day in the house for most: those captured and sent to the panopticon, however, are in for an interesting day. As characters awaken, they will realize their condition: trapped in cells where they cannot see who is watching them, but may always be watched from the high tower. There are others in the cells to either side of them, though they cannot be seen, and perhaps a bit of talking can be done. The time is broken by meals delivered by silent phantasms.
It is the roommate--a monster who does not seem to do much of anything except stare--who the characters might be most curious about. The monster sits or stands in a corner: humanoid, but distinctly something else. They only move to also receive food from the phantasms, but other than that, they hardly blink or breathe. Without warning, though, each character will awaken in the middle of the week to find themselves in the middle of doing something to their quiet cellmate: only it's not a monster at all, it's someone dear to them, and they are hurting them.
Just how the character deals with this, well--we'll see.
