WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

[ ooc: Welcome to Peace Week! Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, office hours for The Professor's Assistant are over here if you're interested, while regains can be deposited over here! ]

[Don't worry, Resident Evil is a puzzle game also featuring zombies, and Birkin may have set some of the puzzles up himself. He knows what he's about.

...What he's about is going to involve messing with the framed things first - the abstract thing is going to continue to bug him, but he'll come back to that in the event that the frames give him nothing. What he's checking for first are disruptions in pattern, either visual or tactile - because yes he's going to be getting his god damn hands all over these - on the frames themselves. Checking for switches or other small sections that can be otherwise depressed or pried out. He's fucking bored and he's got all day.]

[bathymetric]

[ The pattern of the frames doesn't give much (apologies to my old media professor who mainly did art history for me knowing very little about gallery framing) - but there's a little something weird with the frame of Girl with a Pearl Earring. There's... a bit of a gap between the painting and the wall? ]

[fivestagegod]

[...This is not dissuading him from his thoughts of what is going to need to happen here eventually but for now he will behave. Okay. That's a thing. Can the painting be pried forward, or is it still firmly affixed to the wall?]

[bathymetric]

[ one day I'll learn to close italics-

Anyway, it doesn't move too far forward or anything, but with a little effort it's clear something's back there, and it falls out without too much work!

Good news, William, you have obtained a blue key! Almost feels like home, huh? ]

[fivestagegod]

[...Oh thank god, um. I think now is when I tell you that we get to keys, switches and items behind paintings in Resident Evil by burning the paintings? He was absolutely ready to go try to get a source of flame out of the kitchen staff and set fire to a fucking Vermeer if he had to.

However, this is much more convenient. Excellent.

Do any of the locked doors here take keys, or are they all equipped with card key readers? He's content to hold onto this thing for now, but if there's anywhere to actually put the key that'd also be swell.]

[bathymetric]

[ Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the current living quarters that could take this key! The locked doors all use keypads or... whatever the fuck the vault door does.

Better hold onto that for now! ]

[fivestagegod]

[It will be safe in his Key Items, then. o/ ]

[bathymetric]

[ Heck yeah.

This room is clear, now, though he's free to keep going around trying to put fear into the classic art. ]
