One-Man Hide and Seek

potato_headI'm strongly considering trying the One-Man Hide and Seek ritual/game. I'm thinking Monday night? I can make a really simple doll for it, and have rice to stuff it with, since I already had some for sewing. I am pretty sure I have red thread, but I'll have to check. I want to use my computer and camera to record sounds, etc.
Things I need...a hiding place. Maybe I'll use the upstairs bathroom, and place the doll in the downstairs bathroom? But that could lead to problems if/when mom or dad get up in the middle of the night; I would rather quarantine the upstairs with salt at the top of the stairs and keep it up there. I think a better idea would be to involve Paige and to use her room as the hiding place, since despite the activity in it, it doesn't have the same heavy presence that mine does. Also, I should probably get some natural salt (seasalt?)
The one thing I am concerned about is that the ritual seems to indicate that the hide-and-seek game you're 'playing' involves stabbing rather than tagging. Since, you know, you make the doll 'it' by stabbing it. I'm wondering if it would work with tagging instead, since I've never purified a room before and am rather worried about, uh, the potential results...
I'll also have to quarantine Derek's room somehow...or maybe I should just ask him to participate in the ritual with us.
Anyways, I would really like to have both a camera recording in the bathroom, and one in the room with us; but dad's camera is very unreliable...so I'll have to settle for just mine, I think.
