Season 1: Episode 9
“Smell that?” the man in black whispers. “That scent of copper and iodine? That's the ocean.”
He is right, I can hear the faint sounds of waves crashing. The blindfold keeps me from appreciating the beauty, but it also keeps me from having to see her. It's a small consolation because she’s begun talking now and that scent of earth and mold when she gets close isn't great, either. The man in black lets me hold on to his elbow as he leads me around. He feels oddly cold and warm all at once – like a fever, but also a jacket. Metaphors are hard.
The entire situation makes me think about playing games with people for the first time – and the sound from the radio seems to agree. Two familiar voices are discussing how to play with new people and a third voice – feminine, but less evil (at least, slightly less…) – is pontificating about…time travel? Huh.
On an unrelated note, does anyone feel like an ending might be coming up? The man in black coughed quietly when I thought that…. Can he hear me? Weird. In any case, when the woman who smells of earth and mold speaks, she keeps saying things like:
“You’re almost there.”
“He thinks he’s in charge, you might think he is too.”
“You’re going where I want you to go.”
“Dont trip on that root!”
She’s not all bad though; I think her intent is to get me to go somewhere. Still, we trek on. If she is lying, then maybe I will be safe. Finally safe. For the Finale.
