Day 23.

Weather: The rain is back - with a vengeance. In the late hours of the night/early hours of the morning, the rain begins pouring. The assault never ceases, and thunder can be heard through-out the day, as well as intense winds. In the evening, thunder becomes louder and more frequent, as does some lightning. Everyone’s in for a very stormy night.

Events: Ford, Jesse, Ari, and Linds have a message waiting for them on their computers. It reads:

“Was there anyone in your endurance test that you feel deserves to be punished?”

Answers are NOT posted to the network, but disappear after being given. Answers should be posted as a comment to THIS post, with all comments screened. Answers should be given in-character, how they themselves would type them.

Several characters will find rewards today.

Sabina will find a potting wheel and small/medium sized kiln in her room, along with raw clays, glazes, and tools.

Poe will find a human-sized dogbed rolled up under her bed.

Theo will find a very fancy, leatherbound journal in his room. A very fine pen, to his tastes, matches it.

Julie will find a very old, but well cared for book next to her computer. Inside are dozens of recipes, primarily Tamil cuisine, all handwritten in Tamil. Some pages and inks are yellowed with time, and the handwriting changes at several points in the book, giving the impression that this is a family heirloom - even though there are no names to be found inside.

Alexis will find a vintage polaroid camera and enough film for 72 photos in their closet.

Ravi will eventually realize that a drafting program has been installed on his computer. Later, he (or someone else) will realize that different types of wire and insulation are now in stock at the general store’s hardware department in town.

Nathan will find framed photographs of his mother and grandmother around his room.

Birdie will find a small antique moonshining kit in her bathroom. Because in prison, that's where you make booze.

The healing effects of magic and vampire blood are back to normal today. All healing is functioning exactly as people would ordinarily expect it to.

There are no endurance tests today. Maybe TPTB are being merciful, and not forcing anyone to walk back to the tower from the hotel in the storm. Really, no one should be out walking anywhere in this downpour. Visibility is extremely poor; after sunset even those with rooms on the south side of the tower cannot see the light from the lighthouse.

In the later hours of the evening, some of the furniture on the patios will begin blowing away, if someone had not thought to bring things inside. At about 9:30 PM, there’s a massive flash of lightning and thunderous boom that seems to originate very, very close. The whole tower seems to vibrate with it. Those on the upper floors will realize that’s a very strange sound coming from… somewhere. A very rhythmic sort of… thunking?

Oh, it’s the heads room. All the heads are now going in a circle, bumping into each other, like a Newton’s cradle. The faces are all wincing now, or in various stages of pain or fright. They do not stop on their own, but if someone forcibly stops them, the antics will cease. After whoever does so (if anyone) leaves the room, they will hear a multitude of voices whisper ‘thank you’ behind them.

Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool.
