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! ]

[ Well that sucks! Nice that it's all...accurate...except no, not really, what a jerk.

But fine, then she'll just wall-crawl elsewhere, what about international culture? Della will scour that international culture section for those secret keys or passages or whatever. ]

[bathymetric]

[ The culture section is a little more fruitful! Namely, one of the atlases seems to have a bookmark in it! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ A bookmark! ...Well, she still wanted to find something with a little more oomph, but alright. What book? What's it bookmarking? Is the bookmark itself special? ]

[bathymetric]

[ The bookmark itself isn't really remarkable - it's just a torn-off piece of paper from something. But notably about it, it's red paper, which you guys don't have access to!

The page itself is a world map of Earth, which probably looks familiar - well, minus all the magical parts and the duck puns, so what's even the point - with a bunch of different cities around the world circled in pencil! There's also something written in pen at the bottom, but it's been furiously scribbled out to the point of being unreadable. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ ...Okay. Interesting.

Different Earth and all, she's not going to recognize some of these cities, but which ones are circled, in particular? Like, she's taking this with her, but that's just good to know. ]

[bathymetric]

[ A lot of tourist destinations, actually! Cities with stuff to do in them, along with a couple scattered smaller ones. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Spread out across all continents? Are they centered anywhere in particular? ]

[bathymetric]

[ The whole world, actually! There's even one just sort of somewhere in Antarctica. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Hahaha holy shit.

Okay, so whoever used this is well-traveled. Pen, pencil... No other notes if she flips through it? ...Which she'll do on the ground, by the way, she is NOT just holding on with one hand paging through an atlas, even della duck is not that much of a adrenaline-junkie idiot ]

[bathymetric]

[ Nope, none! Looks like this was all this person did in here.

But it might just not be the only thing to find in here. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Oh, naturally. Well, Della's going to take to getting her grubby little duck feet all over the shelves in the marine biology section, then. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Marine biology seems pretty normal! Lots of fish in the sea.... of knowledge!

Where to next? ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ If we're doing named sections, then the major one left is psychology! Let's go psychology. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Psychology! A lot of the texts here are very technical - there's general stuff too, but a lot of what's here is very heavy-duty.

... there's also something weird about the back of the shelf behind one of the books on the end. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Psh, who's reading the text, she's looking for clues!! Like that back shelf. Are we talking secret passage? Secret switch? Secret laser-- okay that last one is not feasible, anyway what are we looking at? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Switch, no. But you're looking at a round, slightly protruding piece of metal - you might need a better light source to get a proper look at it! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Ohhhh, dip! Would the blackberry screen work to give her a better look? ]

[bathymetric]

[ It sure would!

The last major thing in the room here is - well, with the light, it's actually a slightly bigger revelation, because Della can see a green keyhole, and hinges on the bottom of the back of the shelf! Looks like a pretty decent-sized panel.

Area Clear..... for now. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[


Oh she'll be back for you, keyhole. Just you wait. ]
