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.]

....

Know something about this, do you?

[losergod]

[ He might... be wringing his hands a little bit. ]

... It's not the first time I've come across the concept.

[stealsyourduelist]

Interesting. The document claimed there was only one person could create this component.

[losergod]

Well... it's probably true you could use just one person to do it. That would be incredibly macabre, though. It would likely require one of two things in my experience:

Either the recently deceased, or... the Oracle.

[stealsyourduelist]

Well I doubt the writer of the document could do so after becoming deceased. Who is this Oracle then?

[losergod]

The Oracle is... I don't know for sure. I feel like there'd be more signs if they used it. It's... from what I can recall, it's something like a parasite. It's a very powerful creature, though. It essentially is capable of saving its host's life and giving them immense power, but its consciousness has to merge with the host's. It's flesh is somewhat never-ending after a point, and it can reproduce rather... easily.

[ He frowns. ]

The Oracle is very dangerous and very much alive. In fact, it's capable of granting pretty much whatever a person could want, but there's a very high probability it could kill off its host, or overtake it completely if the merging isn't successful. And of course, if you used the Oracle's body itself, you'd probably be tapping into something... rather strong.
