Fourth.

It seems that each week is getting harder than the last. You've lost three of your number already this week, and that's before anyone seems to have tried to take the Wordsmith up on his offer – and from the look of it, the incentive has tempted quite a few of you, perhaps even more than the usual. But now, the week is coming to an end; maybe it's too much to hope for that it's passed without anyone killing one another. Maybe it isn't. Only time will tell. The chimes ring out, signaling the hour as they always do; the day seems reasonably normal, with the first three floors of the building seeming clear enough. However, those of you wishing to make absolutely sure may want to head a bit lower down. It's possible that you'll find nothing down there; the more jaded of you will probably suspect otherwise. Either way, there's no point in keeping the possibility open when you can confirm it for yourselves, is there? >Explore?

[...Honestly, she didn't know what she'd been expecting there.

She pushes the door open, though she doesn't step inside yet, looking the room over carefully first.]

[trustwellness]

[It's definitely worth taking in, because this sure is a room full of crazy.

The walls are nearly covered in sharpie and most of it looks like notes!]

[iaspis]

[....Kimbley why.

Can she understand any of the writing?]

[trustwellness]

[You can! Where would you like to start?]

[iaspis]

[Let's just start with the wall nearest the door and go from there clockwise.]

[trustwellness]

[There are a lot of diagrams like this with chemical notations near them. If anyone knows chemistry they may be able to tell what these are! Otherwise, there are some words further down the wall.]

[iaspis]

[She'll jot down the symbol with the ubiquitous notebook she's totally been carrying around the entire time since she doesn't have a clue what it means.

Onto the words, what do they say?]

[trustwellness]

[I'VE PLAYED NICE FOR A MONTH
STILL WAITING TO DIE
I'M SO FUCKING CUT OFF
I'M SO FUCKING CUT OFF
I'M SO FUCKING CUT OFF
I CAN'T BREATHE IN THIS PLACE

Words along the lines of these can be found all over the room. I wasn't lying about a room full of crazy!]

[iaspis]

...Why did you never tell me?

[That sure is a lot of crazy, but she just sounds more resigned and sad than at all concerned about the sheer amount of oh god what that's.... all that.

Is there anything else written on the walls, or did Kimbley just go full The Shining in here?]

[trustwellness]

[There's plenty more on the walls! Which wall do you want to look at next?]

[iaspis]

[Let's go to the next wall clockwise.

She's pretty shaken by Kimbley's very own "Jack is a dull boy" but not for the reason she probably should be, so she's going to be moving on very quickly from it.]

[trustwellness]

[You're over near the bed now! (I think, I'm bad at room layouts but let's just say you're over near the bed.)

The first thing you'll notice here are the labyrinths Kimbley's been doodling on the walls. If you spoke to him during the first week's afterparty, you'll remember these drawings.

Below that are some of the Apprentices' names, but almost all of them have been scratched out.

JASPER
ELDA
CHIYUKI
KIRA

Kira's name has taken the worst damage, but you can still make it out through the sharpie scribbles.]

[iaspis]

[....Oh well. That's.

She's not sure how to feel about that. It's giving her a huge feeling, let's go with that.

Is there anything else on the wall besides the labyrinths and the list of names?]

[trustwellness]

[Not on this wall! You've got one more wall to check out - the one furthest from the door!]

[iaspis]

[Time to look at the final wall, then!]

[trustwellness]

[Like everything else in Kimbley's room, these notes are written in sharpie as well. They're talking about the memories he's regained here, but the ones of interest are the ones in all caps near the bottom.

EVERYONE IN THE DEVIL'S NEST IS DEAD
HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE MISSION HE JUST NEEDED A CORPSE
BASTARD SENT ME TO DIE

See. Room full of crazy. That's the last piece of evidence though, so unless you have any questions about anything here, you're good to go!]

[iaspis]

[.............oh

no questions here, just a very sad jasper]
