I disarm [Blade of Blood] #Infernal Presence# (1 Sanity Damage)

You decide to use what you learned about disarming the Insignia of Blood on the Blade of Blood this time.

You first use tongs to put the Blade of Blood into a metallic pan and then cover it with glue, making sure the blade itself is fully submerged. Once it dries, you then scrape it out and then cut off the excess and then shave off the clear, plastic-like coating to expose the bladed edge. You figure any Pokémon with half a brain would not grab that exposed sharp edge to begin with.

With that completed, the blade portion of the dagger is now safe to hold and handle. You figure this will be helpful when it comes to when the dagger needs to be fully assembled for the ritual.

The #Infernal Presence# (1 Sanity Damage) trap on the [Blade of Blood] has been removed.

At least now, handling the blade won't cause any mind-consuming harm. It's the result of it that you're a bit more concerned about...

[Morzone]

That felt great! My head still feels a bit weird though so I think I'll take the night off as well.

[Tashy the Furret]

It's night so let the stars come out!

I'm going to give this nice [Dinner Candle] a blessing to get a nice set of three going! Then I'll see if this [Blue Fur] leads to anything in particular. Also, I'm taking a break from cooking tonight! Instead I'm whipping out the ice cream I've been keeping in the freezer!

EDIT: Nix that, going for the [Black Feather] instead for this one!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

I would appreciate my mind being at its 100%, so yeah, Rest for me too.

"Urgh, there's no way I'll be able to sleep in this condition. Might as well do something useful tonight."

I'll search (34) Southwarren Fitness Center

You head over to Southwarren's fitness center, which has been abandoned evẽ̷͉̣̼͈̭̼͖̖̭̽̎̈ͪ̊̀̚͞r since the Stalkers came. Well, that sure doesn't do those pork-butted Pokémon any favors! It's okay, they gave up on their New Year's Resolutions back in January anyway. As for everyone else, well, Mẽ̷͉̣̼͈̭̼͖̖̭̽̎̈ͪ̊̀̚͞ckter kind of got a little dead, but you're free to still use the treadmill if you'd like! It's as much fun as walking in place for hours could possibly be!

You prowl around the outside trying to see what you can find in this joint. Well, there's trash, nasty stuff, probably a booger somewhere in there, and in one spot, it kind of s҉͖͖m̻͍̗e͕̲̫̥̯̪͖l̰̳̹̣͉l͙̰̻͉s like someone decided to find out what it's like when you pee, vomit, and make a turd all in the same spot! What a luscious, gooey mess! You weren't thinking of eating that, were you?

You then find someone's greẽ̷͉̣̼͈̭̼͖̖̭̽̎̈ͪ̊̀̚͞n thorn caught in a tangle of rusty old fencing. Probably from some idiot grass or bug Pokémon that wasn't looking at what they were stepping on. That'll learn 'em! And it kinda̞̪̟̩̻͚͕ looks fresh! You decide "hey, let's have Tashy the Furret test this one too, once she's gotten through all the mountains of other junk we've given her to do!" And you thought your boss sucked!

Pokémon Sample [Green Thorn] has been added to the Team Inventory. Might as well, right!?

You keep searching outside, but you don't find a̞̪̟̩̻͚͕nything cool or valuable. Unless, of course, you consider a broken bottle, a crumbled ca̞̪̟̩̻͚͕rdboard box, and a broken wooden pallet really valuable! Golly, you'd think Pokémon would clean up after themselves, but instead they're just as bad as people!

You decide to hẽ̷͉̣̼͈̭̼͖̖̭̽̎̈ͪ̊̀̚͞ad inside because you're bored of looking around out here. And that smell from the other side is just... mind-consuming. So just as you push open the door, you take your first step in and...

#Hatred Hallucinogen Gas Pressure Plate# Trap 20% Evasion Test: 69 out of 100: Failed!

I love it when this happens! ^v^ <3

*Click.*

Suddenly you're sprayed with a ļ͖o̢͎̮̪̮v͔̬̜̖̗e̩̝̘̩̝ͅly̲̼͖ͅ blast of gray gas and instead of holding your breath, you gasp. Yep, suck that stuff right in, it should be good for you! Ohhh, ahhh, tastes so good!

Suddenly everything goes crazy in your mind and...

You're feeling r̯̯͙̐̎̆͗eally extra messed up right now and there's even times when it feels great! But at other times, you're a little lonely also. Cr̯̯͙̐̎̆͗owded, but lonely in this sock drawer were someone didn't close the lid and they're playing that stupid elevator music again. And then there's times when you feel like you're floating in a bowl of really awful-tasting clam chowder and you wish things would stop moving so fast and that purple Snorlax would stop sitting and farting all over your face!

You sit up, feẽ̷͉̣̼͈̭̼͖̖̭̽̎̈ͪ̊̀̚͞ling like crap, but you try to search for something more here. Why, who would put that there just for fu̫̦͉̺̭n̵͕̪s͈̪͖̗i̡̘͇͖̞̘̙̠e̵ṣ̟̫̖̣̹̠!̲̳̜͚͓?͔̟̫̺͘

Turns out... it was just for funsies. You had fun, right? Well, you don't finḋ̡͚̒͂̔ͤͯ͐ anything here besides exercise equipment that's just collecting dust. Hey, exercise equipment is really goo̺̩͖͕͔͋ͥ̒͐͂͊̚d for that, didn't you know!?

You heaḋ̡͚̒͂̔ͤͯ͐ out the door still feeling really weird. Come on, reach up and grab the stars! You wonder what they taste like! It's a long way home because you decided you're a cool kid and coo̺̩͖͕͔͋ͥ̒͐͂͊̚l kids use their natural GPS rather than follow the yellow brick road to grandma's house where you can eat your weight in caramel sugar cookies and Butterfingers. What a thing to miss out on!

Run along now!

I will continue to recharge tonight

You decide to play it safe tonight and catch up on some sleep. Those spidery whispers in your mind are fading away, but you'd still like to purge them completely out before embarking on any new potential Stalker-related threats.

You climb into bed, get comfortable on the mattress cushion, and rest your head on the pillow. It feels very welcoming and you find it easy to close your eyes and forget about the things that are bothering you. It makes it easy for you to enjoy the pleasant dream waiting for you.

Lita has recovered 1 Point of Sanity.

You're certain and confident that in the morning, you'll feel refreshed and ready to go in.

Same. Let's be at full sanity people!

You decide to join Lita tonight on refreshing your mind and letting a peaceful rest and time away from the shadows in Southwarren. It's a decent night for it and you feel that considering what some of the other Emissaries have been going through lately, you'd rather not chance it.

You climb into bed and stretch out on the mattress before wrapping yourself with the blankets. It feels incredibly cozy and warm and it makes you forget about the horrors outside for a while. You close your eyes, smile, and drift off to a comfortable, deep sleep.

Marta has recovered 1 Point of Sanity.

You're looking forward to the refreshing feeling that morning will bring when it comes.

Everything he just went through had made Tool REALLY twitchy. The Eevee ghost that had latched onto him nuzzled his leg cutely, and that made him feel horrible. He had killed the young one - couldn't they understand that? Wait... It was the soul of an Eevee that had been sealed inside of the statue... Likely a previous victim of the Stalkers... If anything, he had set them free! That made the Lucario feel a bit better, and he spent the night playing with his new friend. There were worse crosses to bear. This one was at least cute.

Resting with my lil' friend here!
(OOC: Yes, I'm taking the forever friend shtick and running with it. It touched me too deeply to let go.)

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I'll protect Tashy as Bulbasaur hasn't posted yet and I'm scared I'll forget to check again before the timer runs out xD

(If he posts and wants to protect Tashy before my turn is executed then I am happy to rest again.)

Btw I think I should be on 3 sanity in the first post now :)
