Week 5.

[trustharder]

WEEK 5 Three more have joined the deceased this past week. Taichi Yagami was punished for breaking a rule, Megumi Sakura was killed, and Norman Bates... well, the less said about Norman, the better. A third of you are dead now; your losses are becoming more and more evident with each passing week. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. But that doesn't mean the night was uneventful - it seems something else may have brought you some newfound clarity. Or perhaps not... Once again, that spiral staircase leads farther than you remember, clear up to a previously inaccessible fifth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; you'll probably need the distraction after the last trial. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 18 SURVIVORS REMAINING: 17

[Godspeed and skee hard, Yosuke.]

[garudynamic]

[He plays honestly for a good like, 5 minutes.

Then, being a scrawny motherfucker eventually just pulls himself up the slope and wiggles his arm up under the cage and starts dropping balls in the 100 point hole because screw the KM]

[ACCORDING TO RULE 12, CHEATING AT SKEEBALL IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, COMMENCING EXECUTION IN 3,2- okay no

I mean, it's not like you're going to get electrocuted or anything for doing it. You get the knowledge that you cheated like hell? So congratulations and enjoy your guilty conscience that is probably not guilty at all.

That said, though, apparently cheaters do in fact prosper here, so you're almost going to be enjoying tickets.]

[garudynamic]

[He will Take Responsibility for doing what a million 12 year olds have done before. Still, taking his hard won prize and taking them back to the machine. Time to feed it]

[trustharder]

[Hey, man, taking your victory and claiming it is totally Taking Responsibility. So A+.

How hard did you cheat, Yosuke.]

[garudynamic]

[So hard man. It's not like he had to use tokens so all he had was time here]

[trustharder]

[That is a valid point! And wouldn't it suck if you had to start using your coins for this.

Fortunately, the mods are benevolent and willing to let you cheat like fuck. The machine will accept the tickets easily, and then...

...Sit there.]

[HIT ALL THE BUTTONS]

[trustharder]

[...Well, it seems you hit the right combination of buttons to get the panel beneath one of those stuffed animals to slide open.

And there's a second panel in front of you, near the floor, that'd previously just looked like the seam between sections of the machine; it slides back and open, and there is your prize! Oh my god will you look at this adorably bootlegged Hello Kitty. Look at her fucking parka. Look at her.]

[garudynamic]

[.... that is legit cute, he will admit. So it's like a vending machine then! He just needs to know the item code, have enough tickets, and spit it out.

In a normal arcade he'd assume that there was a code list somewhere, or maybe under the toys themselves. Time to look around more!]

[trustharder]

[There you go.

Where are you looking, exactly?]

[garudynamic]

[First off? In his general area- looking to see if there's any under the counter space where things like office supplies or a register would be]

[trustharder]

[Good idea; there are a few sheets of paper under there, yes! Blank, blank, aimless scribbling, diagram of some sort of grid with corresponding numbers...]

[garudynamic]

[Obviously useless, throw that away!

Okay no, he double checks the grid to the display, and if it looks to match he tries the number for the notebook's spot]

[trustharder]

[dude if you think that hello kitty wasn't worth approximately fifty thousand tickets

But for the sake of progress, we will assume that there were just, like. A heroic amount of tickets involved here and won't make you rip off the skeeball machine further today (unless you really want to, there's some cute and horribly bootlegged shit in there) - you are now +1 notebook, Yosuke, good job.]

[garudynamic]

[Dude he is totally coming back and getting EVERYTHING IN THERE later. After plot. Cuz plot trumps adorable bootlegged plushies, but just barely.

Time to read this shit]

[trustharder]

[Well, there's one small snag in that plan, actually.

That notebook is written in a language that you've never seen before.]

[garudynamic]

[Of course it is

... he flips through it in frustration and hopes of finding anything he can possibly understand. What a shitty book, no pictures]

[trustharder]

[The alphabet it's written in is vague and unfamiliar; it doesn't look like there's anything too recognizable in here. The most that can be discernible is that it looks like it's organized into a bunch of lists - lists of what, who knows, but it's definitely lists.]

[garudynamic]

[Without a rosetta stone (and a lot more braincells then he has) Yosuke is rather helpless here.

The fact that it's all lists is interesting though. Do they all seem to be the same lengths? Or are they just all kinds of things and lengths?

It's probably the KM's shopping list gdi]

[trustharder]

[All kinds of things and lengths, sorry.

Look, last time we got a notebook like this it was full of shit like "how to make some awesome peach cobbler", would you really put it past us.]

[garudynamic]

[Not in the least

Still, it's SOMETHING and maybe it's a language from one of his fellow Survivors' worlds! He will take this as a victory for now.

...and go play ticket games legitly for the rest of the afternoon to win more cats]
