Zenith : In Character Network → Computer Communica

The weirdest thing I've ever seen before this place? I mean, it's probably going to seem tame in comparison but there was this one time at a New Year's Eve party at a friend's place. It was like 4 am and we were all outside, saying goodbye and whatever, and this random dude walked up to a friend of mine and asked her to spit in his hands. She did, which was weird, and after that the guy used it to wash his face and then said goodnight and walked away.

[Private to Kiley]
Dragon friend! Hey! I heard you were on a cliff? How are you doing? Lennon and I were heading out to see if you needed help, but it sounded like you were rescued without issue. You okay? Is your guy spoiling you after your cliff adventure? Cliff adventure sounds way more fun than what it actually was.


[Private to Dylan]
Dylan! How are you? Where were you? Are you okay? No injuries, right? Sorry I didn't message earlier, when we finally got back I took a long nap. It's been a day, as you know. If I don't run into you on the way to or from the bathroom at some point tonight, I owe you a hug tomorrow. I realize that I could just walk over and knock on your door, but my legs are dead and I have a boyfriend leaning on me. But that hug's coming.


[Private to Lennon]
How are your legs? My blisters have blisters. We did good today. I took a serious nap when we got back. Marco's here with me and Oliver, and he seems pretty okay, in case you were worried. You doing alright?


[Private to Jack]
Hey! I just wanted to reach out and see how you were doing. I know you were taken today, though I don't know where you were or what you went through. I felt like I needed to check in, though. You doing alright? Oliver just brought up the fact that we have everything to make potato chips, and I think I'm going to do that tomorrow, and wanted to offer you some. But mostly I wanted to see how you were doing.

Guys!

Marco and I are really close to cracking some of this code. I promise. I just...

I don't know. I need something. I need more data samples. I need more pieces for the puzzle.

So like, if everyone could leave me something like... I don't know

Age
DOB
I dont know

Useful information I guess.

Maybe the ages of anyone who used to be here but isn't? I did some digging on the Network and found some older codes too that uh... don't belong here anymore.


[Private to Edwin, Felix, Levi, Ivy]
I'd really like to have your numbers, please!

[Private to Dylan and Marco]

You, Marco and I are the only people (so far) bound together in a group denoted by the letter 'U'. Want to help us figure out what we could all be connected by?

I found some seed packets. Looks like Pumpkin, cucumber, carrots, onions, peppers, aspargus, peas, and tomatoes.

Any green thumbs in the house?

Sound off.


Edit: For anybody crossing the river, make sure you change into something dry as soon as you're on the other side. It's too damn cold to be wandering around in wet clothes.

1. The set of clothing I arrived here in
2. My set of 3 Easter vouchers
3. All my bedding, pillows included
4. Gym clothing set
5. Does like, all of my underwear count as a set? bc if so, that.
6. Phone
7. Bluetooth speaker
8. My stuffed bunny
9. Another question - do all the plants in my bedroom count as a set? If so, those. If not, the aloe vera plant from the shelf in the bathroom, please.
10. My knit-cuff snow boots

I'm concerned about all of this-- it sounds incredibly ominous. I hate change so much. I'm currently going through all of my things and trying to inventory them to figure out what I feel like is important. What are we going to get taken away? Like... do our beds need to be one of the items? Our toothbrushes?


also-- food items?! Are they going to take water from us?


Since it said that we are going to need to select ten food items I was thinking---

--- Water
--- Flour
--- Eggs
--- Milk
--- Rice
--- Beans
--- Pasta
--- Potatoes


those are all things that are filling and versatile and like you can use flour to make breads and to thicken things... I don't know.

Hey! I know you had a rough day today, and wanted to check in and see if you needed a friend. I can make you some dinner, we can hang out. We can even have a sleepover, if you're feeling up to it. If you need to just pass out in your room and ignore the world, I totally get that, but just in case you're feeling the opposite, we could hang out and relax or drink or whatever you feel like doing.

So I sleeped at your room and waked at my room, someone moved me?? I couldnt MOVE for hours after I waked! Can you move?? The costume man attack me still! Can I come to you again later?? I feel drugged!! Its so strange I super dont feel like talking but Im scared

PM to Dylan - 12:09 pm

Hey so you said me you can show me cooking?? I want to cook and make food and stuff super soon, like right now??

So were you serious about looking for some kind of secret costume dungeon? My boyfriend is getting lunch with his second boyfriend someone else, and going on a hunt for new clothes and costumes sounds like the best way to experience this house. You wanna?

You are all fucking welcome. Who wants in the coven now, bitches?

You know, you guys, I've just been sitting here feeling philosophical, and I just really felt like I had to share my thoughts. I don't know what brought it on, can't really put my finger on a specific feeling, but I just feel like it really is a small world after all, you know?

Do you think that the music would be better if we set up a replica of the ride in the foyer?

I've never actually been on the ride, so someone's going to have to tell me where to put the creepy dolls.

I painted over my door. If they don't like it, they can either stop vandalizing things, or stop enabling racists to do it. It's pretty now.

While it's wet feel free to leave a handprint and fingerpaint me a happy message. ♥ I'll be in the bath tub if anyone needs me.

Edited at 9:43 By the way I'm not even Chinese, I'm Japanese, and not all Asians are interchangeable so get your slurs right next time.

[Locked to Ivy, Dylan, Tyra Scotty, Ettie, Justice ew, Jesse]

Weird question, kids, and maybe it's just me, but do the... the oldtimers or the original victims or whatever the heck they are... do they kind of rub any of you the wrong way? I'm not counting Felix and Audrey and Levi in that necessarily, but like... just in general, as a whole. I know a lot of you guys probably think of me as loud and annoying, but I'm honestly asking here, and I'll try not to bitch at anyone if they disagree with me. Rare offer, there.

I just feel unsettled by them as a whole, with a few exceptions. Scotty I did not call you Tyra so that should show how serious I am really had to drag any kind of info out of Levi, and same with me and Felix. Felix did give me some explanations for his and perhaps the other two's behavior towards the whole thing, which I was grudgingly willing to accept, but the whole thing was really frustrating. Marco was more willing to talk, but beyond those four? None of them have really reached out to us to touch base. Again, a few exceptions, I guess that Jack guy may have asked one person on the network that I know of I still felt like he took over Ivy's idea, Kai at least got everyone to introduce themselves, but I've widely felt like the majority of them don't care about us and are too wrapped up in their own narratives.

I understand that to some extent, because it's a terrible thing that's happened to all of us - including them - but I really feel like they view us as secondary or something. It's just weird, and I don't feel like we're being told everything.

By the way, Tasiya and Sammy are gone. Their rooms are empty.

This is Oliver. Some of you might not know me, and I promise we'll get introductions in soon, but right now we need help.

Owen and I woke up locked in the morgue at the hospital. We were only able to leave after the door was opened from the outside. We have reason to believe there may be others locked in the buildings in town, but it's too much space to cover and we don't know if we're on a time crunch.

Anyone who is willing to help please come down as soon as you can. You'll need to search in teams of at least two, and each team should have at least one person with a network accessible phone. That way if there's an emergency, or anyone is found, we can get to you fast.

Owen, Edwin and I are searching the hospital. Those who plan on helping, post here with which buildings you're searching so we can avoid overlap. Don't spend too much time in the buildings that are starting to fall apart, we can afford for anyone to get hurt.

Wear warm clothes and sturdy shoes.

Bring at least one flashlight and phone per party.

Don't go anywhere without a partner. If you find someone, or get injured, you'll need the backup.

Post here when you're done searching a building.

If you have any questions, or if you get turned around in town, comment or call and we'll get you sorted.




Here's the list of all the places that need to get searched. There are houses around a lot of these, but most of them are about ready to fall over. Don't run in trying to be heroes, you pay attention to your surroundings.

Some of these buildings are small and clustered together, so one team should try to cover more than one. I'll group those together. For anyone who finishes their search and wants to keep going, check what's left of this list and say where you're going next so we can knock it off the list. We don't want to leave anybody behind on accident. When we have the main buildings finished, we'll get started with the houses on the outskirts.

Respond to this post with where you're headed. When you're done searching, post again so we can cross it off.

I know things are a bit weird (it's the only word I could think of at the moment) and there's a lot of weirdness (again. my mental thesaurus is apparently down for maintenance) and confusion, but I was thinking it might be a good idea for us to get together all at once and... meet each other. have proper introductions? the network has been really helpful but some of you I only know by a username or subject number and with some original housemates returning, it might be beneficial for everyone.

Jack had mentioned that he used to bribe people with food to attend house meetings. Obviously, I won't volunteer him for that but I can throw something together if it helps. I'm not a chef but I'm pretty sure you won't die of food poisoning.

oh. this is Ivy.

I am only doing this to get some answers. I would stay in here out of principle all day if it weren't for Apparently there are people here that know things and I need to

My name is Abra Atiya Behari. I'm a stylist, I was taken from LAX, fresh back stateside from Antwerp. My father, Zayd Behari, is a software engineer and head of a multi-million dollar security firm. I'm pretty sure he's down for negotiating with terrorists, especially if said terrorists have kidnapped his only daughter. Just, throwing that out there. Little FYI for you.

What the fuck else am I supposed to say? I'm furious, I want answers, and I'm not going to apologize for either of those things.

My room is baller though, so credit where it's due, I guess.

Hi everyone. I'm Dylan Kennedy from Chicago, spent basically my whole life there except a couple years in LA. I like to dance and garden, and I was working as a part time DJ, dance instructor, dog walker, and a couple little side gigs here and there. I kind of feel like I'm trying to write a Tinder profile or something so I'll just say that I love hanging out with people, so feel free to come by and hang anytime.

Also like... no judgement and I totally sympathize, but some of yall are getting a little too rage-y for this morning's assignment. I feel like that energy could be saved up for something more productive, like smashing down a boundary fence or something when we make a run for it. Just my 2 cents.
