WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]

I did manage to find something in the garden, when I was poking around in there...

[ Though, at the thought of it, she seems to lose focus on her game. ]

I don't quite know who happens to be leaving hints and whatnot around here, but I'm starting to think they're less like a Bond villain and more like the Riddler.

We don't know yet, but we will. And if it isn't the Professor, there's the question of whether it's really his ally.

[snackooed]

I wonder about that, myself. I can't imagine that he'd put up a recording of himself like that for us to find, for example. And there's no question that some of the things we've found have been helpful, so maybe I'm just a little biased towards this idea I have in my head that he wouldn't act against his own interest...

[emberserker]

And it's not Angel, she's completely clueless. Either some of the other staff are both sympathetic and more competent, or this could all be left behind from the last group. After all, we know now this isn't even the first full run of this place.

[snackooed]

Definitely not an encouraging thought, but I was leaning towards that theory, as well. I suppose there's no way of knowing for sure until we have more information, and I don't want to get too stuck in my own head just speculating, but for now, the most we can do is poke around and see what other clues we could find. The notes are all in that weird handwriting. Maybe if we put them all together once we have enough, they could be some kind of clue...

[emberserker]

Exactly. They must all be hidden somewhere, and this place is a puzzle to be solved, isn't it?

[snackooed]

That's definitely a more productive way of thinking about it than anything else. Hopefully the rest of us found some good stuff between the last meeting and now, too. The more easily we can put our heads together, the better off we'll be.
