week 1

[stagemanagers]

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

How is this possible? Have you never received contact from other planetary civilizations?

[For a moment, Browning almost says 'no'- then he visibly hesitates.

If you are receiving this...

But that...that was time, wasn't it? Even if there was an astronaut, another planet, it wasn't...he shakes his head after another moment, making a face]

Not that I know about. It'd be big news, if it wasn't somehow covered up. Which means...

[mcfife]

Then it means that there is something fundamentally different about our universes.

[Could this one be like Browning's?]

[37773972]

Alternate universes. [Now THAT is science-fiction, as opposed to time travel, which, judging by the numbers tattooed on the side of his head, may or may not be actually possible. And yet, here they are.] I wonder if we're all from different ones?

[mcfife]

It would require an immense amount of power to create one space-time portal, much less sixteen.

...Jeremy and Christine know each other.

The phantom must be a powerful wizard, or work with wizards if this were to work.

[37773972]

Okay, so fifteen. [Or is he counting wrong. Whichev-
ITS NOT MAGIC YOU PIECE OF SHIT STONER he has such a flat look on his face. such a flat look.]

Or they just have the technology. But I agree he's probably working with someone else.

[mcfife]

True, but even then, a technowizard would have the most skill at manipulating the portal to their desire.

[37773972]

[technobullshit more like]

If you can send a radio signal to a specific set of coordinates - and receive one - then someone could probably find a more specific set of coordinates that mean our universes.

[...maybe? He's. Kind of guessing here. Just to make it NOT MAGIC.]

[mcfife]

If that how it works, then yes. [Radio wizards.] It might be hidden underground, if we can't see signs of such technology up here.

[37773972]

If it needs shielding...

[...]

We're getting ahead of ourselves. Can I find you later to share anything I've found?

[mcfife]

That would be a better idea. I will let you know if I discover any secret passages tonight.
