Seventh.

[trustharder]

The klaxons blare out bright and early Friday morning – granted, given the lack of windows in this place, it probably just feels early. Once again, things are quiet on the lower floors – the first-floor hallway isn't covered in blood, there aren't any bodies lying around, and things seem fairly normal to those just leaving their dorms. Of course, that doesn't mean that nothing is wrong; seven weeks in this place have probably taught everyone at least that much. Overall, though, things seem pretty sane until you get to the higher floors – where there are traces of blood on the fifth, in the general direction of the locker room between the saunas. >Explore?

[SHE'S NOT THE ONE WITH THE BODY, SHE CAN AFFORD A QUICK GAME!!

also the fuck is this thing. It's metal and electronic. That's as far as she understands. Excuse her, she needs a modern help here.

... She's also gonna assume that since this thing isn't smoking or crackling she can pick it up, so allow her to do so she she can nat one this and call a friend.]

Yooo, Stan, you're a man of the old world. Namely, things I don't understand. Mind helping your leader out?

[trustharder]

[YOU CAN INDEED PICK IT UP DON'T WORRY]

[goodforsomething]

Uh...sure, I can give it a shot.

[Stan's expertise in technology runs wildly from "does not know what texting is" to "single-handedly repaired and operated an interdimensional doom portal" so uh. He might actually be more helpful with a totally smashed thing?

What's this thing look like?]

[trustharder]

[Good question. Metal and electronic pieces, really. It's a bit hard to tell what it's supposed to be.

There are a couple of things you'll notice about it immediately, however:
1. There are no buttons on it.
2. It looks like the device once made noise.

ALSO A CLARIFICATION — the bloodstains are near the strange device, not the Pac-Man machine!

And with that, you guys have cleared this room! If you have other questions, I can answer them!]

[goodforsomething]

Well, it's got a speaker in it.

[He has no idea what this is]

[captainobnoxious]

[That makes two of them.]

See if you can make it make a noise. Like, with wires I guess? Yeah. With wires.

[... Or something. She knows this, at least. Electricity goes through wires and when you put two of them together they make a thing. Like light and noise.]

[goodforsomething]

I don't think it's gonna do it again.

[But he'll fiddle with it a little anyway, squinting down at the pieces in his hands. He oughta swing by and get a toolbox if fixing this is what he really wants to do right now.]

There's no buttons on this thing. [So if there's wires, there should be some connecting the speaker and the thing that triggers the speaker, right?]
