Day 1
8:00am. Most of the staff has arrived. A few stranglers is fine -- it won't matter if there are witnesses as long as everything works according to schedule. Unfortunately, the simulation was still running... but it's no matter. The model already believes the treasure is here, it just needs one more confirmation. And you have time. Plenty of time, the way this scheme is working. You quickly meet your colleagues -- under the premise of a exploratory team meeting. They all confirm that their portions of the plan are ready. Looking down at your cell phone, you smirk. Finally time to show them their place. Opening the app one of your colleagues designed, a simple diagnostic goes through a list, outputting positive indicators until it all disappears, replaced with larger text STATUS OK. Looking up at your team, you say, "it's time to show them all," and reach down and --
The Start button greys as half the status indicators go red. A loud zapping noise echoes outside the conference room, and the lights go out. Moments later, the lights come back on, and one by one the status items return to OK, and soon the button becomes available then. You press it, and hear the distinctive metallic noises of the security gates and door guards lock the staff in. Then, confused at the unplanned portion of the day, your team goes to the generator room.
~~~
The staff congregated at the generator room hearing the doors lock and the zapping noise. Opening the door, it soon became apparent. Palamedes's body sat, charred, as they had briefly had the entire conduit powering the facility coursing through their body.
Palamedes has died. Palamedes was Kyle Jones, the ???. As the ???, Palamedes could do things or something.
Palamedes has become a Stump and may continue to communicate in the thread.
As people started to walk around from the horrid sight in the generator room, they were interrupted with a "Hey!" Looking back, a ghostly figure rose up from Palamedes's body. "Wow, I have no idea what happened, but I feel GREAT!" Shock hit the crowd. The next hour or so was spent trying to figure out what happened to Palamedes and how, but left with no solutions and time to calm down, some time passed.
~~~
Walking back to discard Palamedes's now apparently unneeded body, there was one more surprise lying in wait. At some point in the time people were talking to Palamedes, not only had their dead body vanished, but had been replaced with a gaudy red booth with a sharp blade protruding from the surface. On a plague attached to the booth was the following:
ITEMS AND POWERS BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATIONS CAN BE YOURS FOR A PRICE YOU ALLmost of you CAN PAY
SHOULD YOU WANT THE WARE ON SALE TODAY, YOU NEED ONLY PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
The Blood Market is now open. On sale today is the Soul-infused Lifedust. Players may bid for this item by wagering 1/6s of their life. A player can bid as much of their life as they can, so long as they have at least 1/6 left. Extra lives may also be wagered, should anyone have any. Ties will be resolved by random roll. Only the player who gets the item will actually lose the life they wagered.
