Week 3.

[trustharder]

WEEK 3 Another week has passed; two more Survivors are gone. Pearl and Caren both had someone to fight for, someone worth killing for; perhaps it's for the best to hope that somehow they've found peace despite not being able to collect on the Kingmaker's incentive. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. That doesn't mean the night passed easily, though - it seems another piece of your personal puzzle may have fallen into place while you slept... Following that spiral staircase up to the second floor will reveal something strange; those stairs definitely lead far higher than you remember, up to a previously inaccessible third floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 23

laundry!

[amygdalae]

[While Bruce himself doesn't need to do laundry just yet, he is in the new laundry room taking stock of all the things in here - pausing when Gabriel comes by with his clothes in hand.]

Hello. Here to wash your clothes, I presume?

[notjustawriter]

Hey there, Bruce.

[He just has a small bundle-- but thank god he doesn't have to hand wash everything anymore.]

I can't stand havin' to hand-dry everything, I'm glad we've got a dryer now. Makes things speedier.

[amygdalae]

It does, doesn't it.

[He says it with slight amusement, although its quick to fade.]

I do wonder why its all only up here, though.

[Or for that matter, why even have two of these rooms?]

[notjustawriter]

I don't know. I was wondering about that.

[It's a little confusing, isn't it?]

Colress suggested this might have been a base of some sort. Could've been military, maybe some sort of scientific research. I was thinkin' it was some kind of fallout shelter, but those normally aren't so enormous, I don't think.

[amygdalae]

[Very confusing indeed.]

Fallout shelter for a large group of people could be plausible.

[Then again, who knows... anything is still up in the air at this point.]

Still, entertainment rooms aside, most of the places do have practical uses so far.

[notjustawriter]

It's very curious.

Whatever's going on, I want to get to the bottom of it-- quickly, if at all possible. I don't like the idea of being dropped off in a place with no memory of how I got here to begin with.

[amygdalae]

[That Bruce isn't as worried about, but it would be good to know still... for several reasons.]

There's a lot of questions we needs answers for. With luck, we'll eventually find all of them.

[notjustawriter]

Right.

This place can only be so big. It'd be too expensive to make this into an entire damn city or somethin'. I'm just not sure where to start.

[amygdalae]

We'll work with whatever we have - just as we've been doing. When we've got a more solid foundation, the other things will eventually fall into place.

[notjustawriter]

Maybe we should start lookin' around some of the rooms that have just opened up.

Doubt there's anything in here, but the rooms with a lot of storage are probably a good start.

[amygdalae]

Right. They had to be placed there in the first place.

[It's not much, but maybe... they'll only know if they try.]

[notjustawriter]

It depends on if the former tenants here actually left something, but this place seems a little too big to clear up completely.

I'm still wonderin' how it was retrofitted for us.

[amygdalae]

I'm thinking the first level at least had to be specifically made - or at least altered in some fashion.

[After all there's really no reason why there should be two laundry rooms...]

[notjustawriter]

And exactly 27 rooms, too.

Unless there was another group in here with specifically that many people it seems suspicious. Like someone was expecting us.

[amygdalae]

Or that they knew we would be here, somehow.

[For some unknown reason...

Not knowing anything is so frustrating.]

[notjustawriter]

The whole "your worlds have been destroyed" thing is clearly just a lie, but what if here was some reason they needed exactly that many people?

It's such a specific number.

[amygdalae]

I certainly wouldn't discount that possibility.

[Still at this point everything is still up in the air, which continues to be frustrating as heck.]

[notjustawriter]

....I guess all we can do is keep an eye out, huh?

I'll look around, see if I can find anything useful, and let you know.

[amygdalae]

I'll do the same as well myself.

[Its the best thing they can do right now.]

[notjustawriter]

Here's to finding somethin'.

[amygdalae]

To making a discovery.

[And one that will actually help them in some fashion, too.]
