[You got a phone call that morning. It wasn't the realtor for the vineyard, like you had thought. Instead, it was a scientist.

She offered you something you hadn't ever expected: hope.

"I think I've pinpointed where this blight has come from, and how it became so virulent. You were among the first whose crop was infected-I wish to speak to you personally about it."

You meet in a car, and drive to an isolated road. She will not take any chance to speak publicly about it-not yet. She doesn't want to release the information until she is certain. But she felt honor-bound to explain to you, given your own importance in her research. You hadn't known she had sampled your dead and dying grapes, but she did.

"This blight..." She opens a folder, showing you the photos. "Started with a gopher, several years ago. I know, it sounds insane. This disease should only affect certain animal species. But one day, it jumped into vines...the original gopher died a long time ago. But not before it had eaten an entire cluster of grapes in one swallow. It ended up scratching itself on the trellis of the grapevine as it choked to death. Its blood, its body decayed, and helped to water and fertilize that strain of grapes the next year or so, and...well, the seeds from those buds that resulted were sent out to every farm in the area. Then, to every farm in the country, different regions..."

That sounded insane. This woman's theory sounded utterly bonkers. But you can't dismiss it out of hand-you have no better answer.

Before you can say anything more, the woman's phone rings. She answers, and you see her face turn white. You don't have to guess why.

Before, the theoretical gopher had infected the grapes with the blight.

Now, the blight had claimed its first human victim.

[The morning hurts. It hurts to know that, even dead, there was that final, terrible moment for the Embarrassing and the Nagging. It must hurt more to know that this will continue, and that there is something out there that is invested in ensuring each and every last one of the Strangers are, if not dead, than broken.

And then, there is IT. IT is the enemy, it seems. But...what is IT? Is IT the one truly responsible? How?

As you try to think on it, you remember your truths, and suddenly, you realize, another has changed:




[That you would. Can you? You know that, whatever your answer, you must find a way to the truth. The alternative is too horrible to even contemplate-if it is even possible to be comprehended. After all-if what you saw is what happens to the dead and condemned, what will become of the living at the hands of the terrible, unknown IT who is your jailer?

Hope that you do not have to find out. Hope there is an answer in the new floor that has opened up in the Building. Otherwise...otherwise you really are doomed.


There are 13 strangers in this place.]

for starters, upon entering the room, does anything look weird or strangely out of place?]

several locations, eventually....

[First, around the house. Are there pencils in among everything? And/or a razor with removable blades? How about a safety pin? Some thumbtacks? The whole place is metal, so that makes some of this easier... maybe. If he's remembering how to do this right.


And then... to the library. Even if there isn't a single Boy Scout handbook in sight (he's still going to look, though), there are headphones here, right? Attached to... well, what the future tech is isn't the important part.

[In the morning, after eating, Caleb's set up in front of his home again. He's still got a bunch of things out there - as well as some new things - waiting for someone to take them. For a few hours he's just sitting there, writing in a small, tattered book. He keeps shaking the pen he's using every so often, trying to get it to start up again.]

[Later in the day, he can be found in the theater. He's managed to work out how to get the tapes to play, and seems to be watching... cartoons? Mostly animated movies. He seems particularly fascinated if he's watching something with a wizard in it.]

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-10 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eric has things. Most of them suck. But he did get a big roll of fabric, and remembering that his sewing machine made it to the dressing room, he figures he may as well make use of it. So feel free to come across him making patterns, cutting fabric, and sewing! He really seems like he knows what he's doing, which might be a bit surprising for someone like him. He picked up another change of clothes there: a drab gray gauze top with a skull on it, khaki shorts with a cool black pattern on them, and a blue beanie that he's wearing while he sews these. Soon he'll have some kind of wardrobe going. Although there's plenty of fabric on this roll, maybe you want something too?? If you like the color of almost-black-purple, that is, or want one of the other things he's got. Though he has someone small and cute in mind for the lite bright.]

Next he could be found in the Library, lounging around as he was wont to do. It seemed he claimed two places for his usual hanging around time. Though despite how weird everything looked, he appeared as if he were ready to take a nap.

Last place he'll be seen today would be the Kitchen, taking a look at one of the pills here. ]

[There's no point in trying to force Vita out of the one place she feels anything remotely approaching safety, right now, so Jonathan is at home, such as it is. He's going to be making a bunch of phone calls today:

-to Estelle, because he has a certain pin with a certain insignia that she might want back seeing as she's the only Bracer here.

-to Caleb, because honestly? they need to talk. Though if Arthur answers the phone over there, he's got a few questions for him, too....

Beyond that, he's worried that not reaching out to everyone will make him and Vita both targets, especially after how he cracked at the trial. So outside of those three named above... it may it may just be so he can babble an apology, but there will be a call made. Whether it's answered or not is up to you!
