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.]

This is bad. I don't think we have the equipment to cure something like that here. And I don't know enough about pharmaceuticals to even attempt it; my expertise was medicine, yes, but not that department.

[stealsyourduelist]

The cure was mentioned in the document, but it was all very vague. Something about sentient mitochondria...

[He's got no idea, to be honest.]

[losergod]

Mitochondria are essentially what power most beings, chemically speaking. If we're talking about alteration on that kind of level, it could be very tricky to play with. That kind of thing... even modern science as I understand it would have a difficult time grappling with playing with it. There'd be a lot of risks. If there is a cure that involves that, it could be rather dangerous. Mitochondria aren't supposed to be sentient.

[stealsyourduelist]

Oh? Then we must discern if they have been imbued with sentience or if this is the creation of a new type... or if it's some sort of metaphor, perhaps.

[Alchemists used all kinds of fucking metaphors in their notes so you can never be sure.]
