This meeting cannot be skipped. (week 7 meeting)

[okay. that was a horror show and a half. but at the same time, Gaius is... thinking about it pretty hard, particularly the Hodaka thing. the gears are turning in his head. It is... not particularly hard to track down everyone personally. because there's. not very many people left. If he can find you in person, he will speak to you individually!]

Meeting in the usual location. One hour. We have much to discuss.

[...

if he can't find people in person he'll like, slip notes under their doors. he... is not sure if the idea he's having is encouraging or discouraging. but there's other stuff to talk about too, besides just Theory Chat. ...he did surreptitiously bring in some chairs so we don't all have to be sitting on the bathroom floor at least. but he's not the kind of person for decoration, he's the kind of person for getting things done!

so, when Meeting Time rolls around and everyone's present, he will be sitting in one of the chairs with his notes!]

We all understand why we are here. Let us begin.

Comments

I noticed something odd in the convenience store - one type of alcohol has been completely removed. I plan to keep an eye on it to see if it is restocked.

[For clarification, it's the Corona and it will not restock!]

But more importantly, I found another puzzle which gave me these.

[Three things! The first is a violet key, the second is a ship in a bottle, and the third is a note.]

Please pass this around - it contains important information. I'd also like to know which of us have found keys.

[Here's the note's text!]

[howveryglib]

[oh. holy shit. He breathes a sigh of relief.]

Some welcome good news at last. I am glad we now have some sort of goal to work towards, at the very least. We should likely divide our investigation of the founders’ offices amongst ourselves so that we do not become overwhelmed.

[onemillion]

As am I. It would be in our best interests to gather what information we can. I'll see what this key goes to.

[The violet one, of course!]

[howveryglib]

If anyone has more than one key, I would be happy to take it for investigation purposes. …also if anyone encounters anything particularly disturbing like Forrest did and does not wish to deal with it, I would be fine with taking it on.

[visiblepattern]

You were with me when I found the blue one... I still have it.

[inaclearing]

I, uh...have a yellow key and an indigo one. I found that one buried with Camp Pining Hearts.

[Brett seems a little out of it after what happened this afternoon, but...well, what else is new this week?]

I can split them with someone. Look together.

[howveryglib]

I will take one, then. Whichever you feel like sparing.

[inaclearing]

Here.

[He just hands the yellow one over at random! Woods key stays with woods man.]

[howveryglib]

Very well. I shall see where it leads.
