>>5452189All in all, you feel quite a bit of sadness from the place. You don't know if your uncle was unhappy or anything- he clearly had hobbies, after all. But still, the idea of a paranoid old man living alone in a big house with his things makes you sad. You guess you can at least try to take decent care of the place, so as to leave something behind of his.
As this melancholy fills your head, you return to bed and set an alarm for 6:30 AM on your phone. It is not long before you doze off, strange, scattered dreams filling your unconscious mind as you do so.
Until you awake once more. You'd opened the curtain behind your bed a bit previously, but only moonlight peers in from it. Looks like you woke up early. You turn to your right and try to turn the lamp on the nightstand on. The light bulb ignores this request, opting to stay dark. "It was working earlier. Bulb go out?" You shuffle out of bed and grab your phone to check what time it is. Your hand pushes aside the second phone and grabs the one you're used to- 3 AM. Yup, that's the early.
...Wait, second phone. Why is there a second phone on the nightstand? Was one in here all along and you just now noticed? You throw a cautious glance around the room before picking up the other phone. The sides are completely smooth, lacking buttons of any sort. Instead, the screen just lights up when you take it into your hand.
OBJECTIVE: Survive for eight hours.
<span class="mu-g"> REWARD: </span> ???
<span class="mu-r"> PENALTY (for failure): </span> None!
The first thought that comes to mind is "What?" The second, likely fueled by a sudden burst of adrenaline, is something along the lines of <span class="mu-s">GRAB WEAPON</span>. Lacking anything better in reach, you decide the lamp will do, unplugging it from the wall as your brain tries to process the message. Someone left that phone there while you were sleeping. Someone who clearly doesn't like you.
>You better call the police. You don't know if this is a prank or what, but it's not something you can deal with. Hopefully they just get here soon.>You need to secure a better weapon. If you recall correctly, there were a couple of golf clubs in the storage room downstairs. You should hurry there.>Shit, Madness and Folly are still in the living room. You wouldn't put it past someone willing to do this to hurt them. You better go and get them.>Whoever did this is clearly treating it like a game, and has been here for some time. They have the advantage of surprise. For the time being, you should stay here and avoid putting yourself at risk.>Write-in
