WEEK 3

[As Marie said: so much for trust and resolve. Two people are dead, and there is very little anyone can do about it now, no matter how much they would have wanted to sacrifice themselves.

In particular, with Marie's words during the trial, it's clear that time is limited. Or is it? Marie is also capable of omitting the truth when it serves her needs, especially when it comes towards the Strangers and their still-missing memories. In any case, one can only hope they don't fall for her tricks again, even though getting away with murder would - apparently - save at least one life.

There is something else, as well. When everyone wakes up the morning, they will find that information on their wristwatches has been updated to reflect their new number - and something new about their powers. Not only that, but a new floor has opened up above Floor 1 for everyone to explore. Maybe more can be found on just what, exactly, is going on.

Is Marie telling the truth? Is the universe really ending? Or is it just another means of getting what she wants? Whatever is happening, people will need to be more careful around her - and one another. Who knows what Marie will offer next - or what your roommate or new friend is now capable of as a result. Especially since it's now known, thanks to Marie's actions during the trial, that everyone has definitely lost some memories. And unfortunately, no one seems to have regained any of them so far - or if anyone has, they haven't said a word.

If trust and resolve was ever needed, it feels like now is the time to try and find all that.

There are thirteen people in this place.]

Den/Bar

[strangerpeople]

[Since they do connect.

In regards to the den, there's nothing of significant interest in here - save that the person who designed this has...very...uh, vivid tastes? Yeah. We'll go with that. Salmon is a nice color, after all, right? In the right circumstances it's very lovely!

Granted, whether these are the right circumstances is debatable, but...!]

[earietale]

[I mean...by 60's standards? Not that bad. She's probably seen worst looking places.

Well, if there's nothing of interest in the den, she better search the bar thoroughly! Hopefully there's more than just alcohol to find in there.]

[strangerpeople]

[There is a ton of booze, NGL.

There is a pattern to be had in the type of drinks, however, and what's taken more than others. Marie's tastes are blatantly obvious - the white wines are close to empty.

However, someone seems to have a liking to single malt scotch whiskies - especially one labeled "ISLAY". But all of those seem to be mostly empty as well, and even have extra bottles waiting for when they do run out.]

[earietale]

Islay...

[A weird name, but possibly important. She repeats it a couple times in her head-Islay, a single malt scotch whiskey-before moving on.

Anything else to find?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! That’s it unless you want to try the Islay booze.]

[earietale]

[Nope! No under age drinking is happening here!

But...she will go to the nearest camera bot and say something, not before swallowing down some saliva (and her pride).]

Commander, I...have a question.

[commandurr]

[Its a few moments, but the Commander does come to speak to Barbara.]

YES??? WHAT IS IT???

[earietale]

[Winces a little bit because gosh that voice.]

Just to be sure, the only one you drink is the white wine, right? I just...want to make sure no one accidentally drinks it.

[That's a good excuse for asking, right?]

[commandurr]

THAT’S RIGHT! YOU ARE JUST SO CONSIDERATE!! AHAHA, GOOD!!

[earietale]

Yeah, that's me. Miss...considerate...

[Sigh. Now to hope she's as easy to make go away.]

That's all I wanted to ask. Thank you.

[commandurr]

MMMHMMHMM! LATER THEN, LOSER! AHAHAH!!

[And off she goes.]

[earietale]

[As soon as she's gone, Barbara lets out a sigh. Well, at least she might've gotten some info out of her.

Now, time to look around elsewhere on this floor.]

[strangerpeople]

[Where to first, then?]

[earietale]

[How about the arcade? Looks interesting enough.]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, the technology is basically similar to the computers. Plus, the games look to be free. And fun-looking!

...Of course, every top score is from someone named Keith. Seriously, who is that guy!?]

[earietale]

[Way to go, Keith. You proved you're good at video games. Now go home.

By any chance is Keith's score a specific number or anything? Something that seems...out of the ordinary?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's basically 99999999. It's naturally out of the ordinary.

But there's also the person who seems to be in second place who is also consistent.]

[earietale]

[Interesting...who's in second?]

[strangerpeople]

[Depending on the game's high score naming system, It's either HAL, HALLE or HALLEY.]

[earietale]

...Halley?

[Said like HAY-Lee.

That's definitely unusual. Just in case, is Marie, Mari, or just Mar on any of the high score screens?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope.]

[earietale]

[That's...actually kind of weird. She expected someone as childish as her would at least get her name somewhere on there.

Anyway, is there anything else that seems off? Like a certain game that seems...unusual?]

[strangerpeople]

[Sadly no. Unless she wants to play some games, there's nothing else out of the ordinary here!]

[earietale]

[Well, then it's time to play these new tapes and get some new stuff to find later.]
