Seeing as we have two problems that require solving, each with a clock on them, here’s a Brainstorming post. It isn't my intention to tell anyone what to do, just create a space to coordinate our ideas. Whether we like it or not, we’re all in this together.

To summarize for those who don’t know:
1. The furnace is no longer operating, and the temperature is beginning to drop.

2. The food stores have vanished overnight.

Ideas?

I discovered a key of some kind in the Conservatory. Has anyone found something that needs unlocking?

*OOC - this takes place after Reed and Ivy's thread in the Conservatory

I am now very much dressed alike my Earth-2 counterpart (minus the bow tie), I am supposed to sleep in a morgue and

For real. I think we'll skip past that Is anyone else suddenly missing their powers? Because I just tripped over my own feet and [...] ow?

Small question, no judgement, but who exactly popped into the kitchen in the disturbing murder house and decided it was the perfect time to make cookies?

Alternatively, looking for someone brave or stupid enough to try cookies that mysteriously appeared in the disturbing murder house.

Hello, as I had mentioned before I created a document so I could have everything in one easy and accessible place. It would help if everyone added information as it comes to you.

Thank you.

Attached document.

We've I've found an engraving on the Dining Room table, underneath the tablecloth: letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9), along with the words "Yes", "No" and "Goodbye" at the top right, top left and bottom centre respectively. It's all carved right into the wood.

It apparently looks like someone has been practicing engraving in calligraphy there or perhaps it could be a tool for teaching a child to read, something like that.

It just seems strange that it's on such a grand and expensive-looking table so, we I wondered, has anyone heard of anything like this before?

To whoever left the drawing in the study:

Thanks for capturing my good side. I'd be flattered if I didn't think you wanted to kill me.

Don't hurt the rats. NO ONE HURT THE RATS

I think the rats might be communicating with one another. Anyone else notice how coordinated they seem? Like they know exactly where to be and when. That or something else is manipulating them. I'd try talking to them, but I've never been good at communicating with rodents. Probably for the best. They don't seem to be much for conversation, anyway.

Has anyone looked into the electromagnetic patterns around the house yet? Also, I heard there was a lab. I need to visit the lab. Anyone care to join me?

We've made a good search of the room with the big, fabric-topped table in it. There's nothing obviously out of the ordinary in there, although the portrait is unsettling. It looks like it's watching you, wherever you stand in the room.

Tony and I have been trying to sort out some of the things in our hoarder nightmare bedroom.

It's, um, well -- been interesting. Dusty. Took up like, most of the day.

If you come by, I'll give you a random thing? I don't want to destroy anything in here since that -- well -- seems like it was a bad idea...But I'd appreciate it if people could just come and take, you know, something.

Just so we had a bit more room to breathe in here. It's already spilling out into the halls.

OOC: If you show interest in the comments and tell Peter you're coming by, I'll send you a link on Discord or the dropbox of the random treasure you've aquired. Who knows, it might end up being useful...

I am going to need flashlights, some rope, and some sort of device that will emit a loud noise. Unless someone is capable of making a firecracker?

ETA

Everyone list any supplies and/or tools they have found. We should also list any other pertinent information. I know people have been making posts about their findings but I think it will be more organized if it's all in one post.

In addition, I am taking down people's names and their skills.

I'll start making a list.

so my sister and i found another room. hidden off of the master bedroom. it's filled with soft beds, puppies, and candy.
jokes.
it's creepy as fuck.
there were some telescopes pointed out away from the house but the lenses were broken so unless someone here is conveniently able to melt down some glass and make it into new lenses they're not really helpful in the figuring out where we are thing.

there were some constellation looking things though on the walls if anyone knows about that? maybe which ones are on there might have some meaning for solving the puzzle.

there is nothing weirder than waking up being spooned by a clown. i hate clowns.

barnes, rogers, i'm burning these creepy pieces of nonsense.

EDIT: OMG ABORT THE BURNING DO NOT BURN THE CLOWNS OR ANYTHING ELSE OMG I NEED THERAPY!

What with all the strange going on - if you hear anyone moving around the Conservatory tonight, I’ll be working there. Just doing some math, nothing ghostly. Though if something threatens you, call out and I’ll come help.

Well, it's not fresh blood, at least. That's a plus! Just letting everyone know, no one recently died in the library. Still probably ought to ere on the side of caution. Self-printing computers, bugs nailed to walls, and pools of old and dried blood make for an interesting history for this place.

Though it does seem a bit suspicious, doesn't it? Like a bad Stephen King novel.

Wait! I think I might be onto something..

No. No, I lost it. Anyone else have any ideas?
