week 4

[stagemanagers]

[Another week, and two more dead. King Richard and Red are both gone, and once again, it was through nothing more than an accident in the heat of the moment. Maybe if you all stay calm and collected, nothing bad will happen again?

Well, maybe not.

When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The grounds remain as they are, but this time, the door blocking the stairwell has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the second floor! This is the second time that's happened; it's almost as if you get more space every time someone dies. Or maybe the whole place just seems quieter.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday


(( Welcome to Week 4! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

[A blink, and he looks down at her- he doesn't even try to smile, or if he does, the expression is too strained to make one out]

Can I sit down? I need to see if it's the same one I think it is. Unless you know how to unencrypt something? [He thinks he remembers what Aston did, but isn't sure]

[ Wordlessly, Riley shakes her head and scoots her chair to the side. After a moment, she asks: ] Should I leave? Is this...is this like, a thing?

[37773972]

I don't know. Maybe? [Okay, he's pretty sure Aston just right clicked on the file, and- okay, there's a thing, click that, and- all right, now the key, Edgar had said it was the header, does he just copy paste it and]

Oh my God, it is.

[A video pops up. say hi to QUASI, Riley! While that's playing, Stephen's quickly doing the same thing to the other file, and- are those blueprints?]

[isawallflower]

[ Hi QUASI, Riley would say, if she wasn't utterly shocked by what she's seeing. Her mouth drops open as she listens, absorbing about...75% of the material. ]

What... What even...?

[ This is something from a movie, or something. Right? ]

[37773972]

Holy shit. Holy- this could be our way out of here.

[He's taking a closer look, leaning forwards.]

Riley. Remember what I said about saving the future...?

[isawallflower]

[ She nods, slowly. ]

Yes. Yes, I do. How can it help us now?

[37773972]

[WELL...]

There's blueprints in here to something special. Maybe, if we all worked together, we could build it.

[isawallflower]

[ It's like she's reading one of those sci-fi dystopia novels she's been known to enjoy. Except it's happening, in front of her. ]

The... What? It copies things? Like a 3-D printer, but- How does it...?

[37773972]

I don't know. Wise might have been able to understand it, but I don't think we need to understand- just make it. And I know Mephisto wants gold, so maybe if we found just a small piece, and built this...

[...then they'd have as much as they needed.]

[isawallflower]

[ What's the gold for, she wants to ask, but there's a more important question here. ]

How do we build it? What do we need?

[37773972]

I think I might have to ask Mephisto and see what he knows, but...a lot of stuff, I'm not sure we have. Are you up for helping me raid the supply closet, though? Or others' piles of junk?

[isawallflower]

I'd raid a whole warehouse if it could get us out of here.
