The Exam: IC Community

Oh no oh no I wasn't prepared for this, I've been up working on a list of things to do all night and I just managed to get it finalized when- Okay! New list.

1. Make new list! - In progress
2. Introduce self to team, figure out objectives
3. Strategy meeting???
4. Oh! Maybe a pep rally for team spirit
5. Do we need matching shirts or hats or something, is there a printing company here?
6. Wait maybe we need a team name too. Any input?
7. Do the things!
8. WIN!!

Hi! I'm Nadia Van Dyne, and if you're on the red team that means you're with me. This is pretty exciting. My credentials- I run a lab team of research scientists back home. Also! I'm a member of the Champions, creator of the Doom fanclub (please sign up, meetings on Tuesdays) and I kicked Ronan's butt last night you should have seen it.

Any questions?

So this is, what, some kind of primitive transmitter? I've seen some old tech before, but this is... wow. Stone age. I'm honestly impressed, has anyone cracked one of these things open yet? And I can't say I'm a fan of the whole communication through text thing but this archaic networking system? Whatever asshole arranged this hijacking paid attention to the details.

Wait a minute. Did I time travel? Because I know me, I can't be trusted not to create some kind of paradox and according to my extensive knowledge of comic books those are bad. I'm probably causing at least ten right now. Dutch is gonna kill me if I break history.

Well this is much better isn't it? How are you doing?

Good morning and welcome! My name is Johnny Rose, and along with my partner, Stevie Budd, I'm the proprietor of the Rosebud Motel.

We offer several amenities here, including fresh sheets and towels, a selection of more than three books and puzzles, and a jacuzzi that we're thinking about getting.

If you would like any suggestions for restaurants and activities around town, or anything else to make your stay more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Cordially, Johnny Rose

no t real

dont go in

All these anagrams and word problems -- I think we should keep track of them. Has anyone else found something strange written anywhere? Maybe they aren't supposed to be puzzles. Maybe something gets lost in communication between whatever is in this house and us. Like how that damn seance needed a conduit.

Maybe the house needs something to communicate more clearly.

I don't know. Right now I feel like I'm being pointed in every direction but the right one.

Edit: LIST

A I D M T N E I M O I V L A M - MILITIA MAN MOVED - ADMIT NO EVIL, MAIM - I AM MAD I'M VIOLENT - I'M MAD I'M NOT ALIVE / I'M NOT MAD I'M ALIVE -

A typewriter in the study ghostly typed out:

d fsi brubk mi xi byiwu boyftf xt uq tdyuk.

Could be nothing. Could be something.

There's a small lab in a room off the dining room - go through where the mirror used to be. Been a long while since I was in chemistry class so someone else might have better luck with what's in there than me. I cleaned up the broken mirror as best I could but still watch yourself if you head in, don't want anyone getting cut.

FILTERED TO IVY:

How's Harley II?

[TW: Brief struck out implication of suicidal ideation in comments.]

There's an actual FUCKING HEART under the floor in the coffin bedroom, anyone wanna give me a good reason why I shouldn't stab it?

[ooc: after this]

I found a wrench. Would anyone with experience like to have it to fix the leak?

Not that you're all not already busy with the rest of the fucked up shit in this house, but there's something alive under the floor of the bedroom with the coffins.

UPDATE:

We've got all the letters now.

A I D M T N E I M O I V L A M and the white ball is blank.

Gladio and I have had a go at putting them together in various combinations. We've been able to make lots of individual words - VOID, DIVE, LOVE, ATONE, etc. - but, when we try to use all the letters, each combination seems to have at least one letter left over and none of them make any sense:

MAIN MOTIVE DIAL M
MAD MOVE INITIAL M
MOVE MADAM LINT II

Can anyone see anything in them that we can't?

---

I need help, please. In the Billiards Room.

The balls - they've got letters on them now, instead of numbers, and they're floating.

I've managed to catch three - L, A and M - but I can't reach the rest alone.

I want to know what they spell.

[posted shortly after this discovery]

Found a hidden, cozy little nook in case anybody's still searching for a spot to crash. Lovely view of the outside, potentially haunted computer-and-or-dot matrix printer as a roomie.

[filtered to the current occupants of Bedroom 23]

Also, lads, the aforementioned haunted computer knows all our names and that we're sleeping downstairs. So cheers.

Okay, hi, who's a kid here? You don't have to say anything, just I don't FUCKING know come to the stairs so I can get a headcount and die from an aneurysm, no big deal!!!!. We should stick together while we're figuring all this out.

Alright, so... this clearly isn't the bottom of the ocean and I'm pretty sure Mera's gonna think I've bailed again so thanks for that.

Sir Reginald T. Carstairs can kiss my ass.

Also, I'm totally taking one side of the bed in whatever room I end up with. Hell, I don't even mind being in the middle but couches are a big fucking no for me.
