[anonymous; unremarkable handwriting]

[littlestrawdoll.livejournal.com]

I've got some things to ask about, so if you guys know anything, I'd appreciate some help.

First, has anyone seen Kirihara Naoya around?

Second, did anyone make it up to the chapel last night? What happened?

And third, I'm curious about the basement. There doesn't seem to be a complete map yet, and I've been thinking about checking it out, but haven't heard much. What's all down there? Is there a trick to getting through some of the doors or do they all open?

I went to the Chapel first thing last night.

From my experience, you can be completely "healed." In actuality, your wounds go to another. It's more of a switch than a healing.

It's something you should think about before you try.

So does that mean you were with someone else for that to happen?

[diamondstorm]

Yes. The person I was traveling with received my wound.

It doesn't sound like much of a gift at all. What did you have to do?

[diamondstorm]

Step in front of a statue that was in the back of the church. There was a tile in front of it that was indented, and when I stepped onto that, the wound transfered.

Thanks for the information.

If you wouldn't mind, would you please go into more detail about this? What exactly did you find, and what did you have to do in order to transfer your wounds? Also, just how much damage was transferred?

It's a shame that the wounds aren't healed completely, but if the amount transferred could be controlled, it could turn a lethal wound for one person into something more manageable for two. Or even something relatively minor for three or more. At the least we shouldn't rule out such options.

I will put up a detailed post about it. If you have questions after that, I'll be happy to answer them.

What exactly do you want to know about the basement?

Re: [an attempt to disguise handwriting]

[littlestrawdoll.livejournal.com]

As much as possible. People don't seem to talk about it as much as the other floors, though.

Many people that make it down there consider their discoveries a secret. I know my group does, though I don't understand the attitude.

Re: [an attempt to disguise handwriting]

I guess that means there's something worth being secretive about? Right now I'd rather just hear about what has to be done to get whatever prizes people are bringing back with them. The layout, the challenges... whatever makes that place so special.

There's a huge ballroom with doors off of it. I've only been east and west. One way -- east, I think -- leads to a corridor where there's a room with a sphinx in it.

It challenges you to answer a riddle. If you accept the challenge and fail, it will attack you. We didn't fail. We got a prize.

The other way, west, has a corridor, too. I don't know what rooms are there.

The strange thing is we found all the doors to be very heavy. It took all three of us to open then. Perhaps stronger people could make do with less, but I count my partners as strong men.

There is another door that we haven't tried.

I see, that's really helpful. Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Couldn't get one of the doors open in the basement!

[littlestrawdoll.livejournal.com]

Do you have any idea why?

[rappigs.livejournal.com]

Because Haseo didn't kick it or something. I don't know. We tried. I think I'll try again tonight!

[littlestrawdoll.livejournal.com]

All right, so it didn't budge. What door were you trying to get through and how many of you were there?

[rappigs.livejournal.com]

The door with some things with wings on it. There were two of us - why?

[littlestrawdoll.livejournal.com]

It might mean nothing, but it's good to have all the details if more questions come up. I've been told some of the doors are of different colors and designs, so that might mean something.
