The Exam: IC Community

Think we found the room above the ballroom.

Just some weird ass bedroom that looks like a wild animal tore through it. Something a lot bigger than the rats. Only thing left standing was a a glass box full of rose petals and a mirror.

Well. Now just the box.

Right, so, hit a bit of a snag this afternoon in the basement and suggest nobody else pop down here anytime soon unless you want to stick around. Literally. As in I'm stuck here and can't move my feet from this spot.

Related query... I hope. Anybody find a combination lying about? Three numbers.

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.

I'm not inclined to tell anyone what we found until we clear out that space and see what's behind the wall.

I just don't think a house of drunken idiots would be at all helpful.

How does...

Is anyone here versed in curses? Specifically breaking them? Without murdering the cursed people?

Preferably before one or both explodes, starves, gets sores, goes insane or just dies in general.

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?

If anyone is missing a relative? their...ashes? I found an urn beneath one of the pillows in me and Gretel's room. Somehow I'm doubting it actually belongs to anyone here because obviously an urn would pop up in a haunted house, that just seems pretty standard, but just in case.

I guess I should-- I'm Gale. I don't like this phone and my hands are too big for it, so using it to talk to people is stupid and I'm more of an in-person kind of guy. Just for future reference.

Well, this is definitely not the way I thought I'd end my day. I think someone slipped something into my celebratory drinks tonight. Don't know what kind of expert this guy's lookin for, but this ain't my problem. If he got himself stuck in a shitty situation, that's not my problem. I didn't read from a cursed book this time, so this shit situation's not mine to fix. Now I need to find two people. One is Kelly. You see a girl that's both filthy and fine with dark hair and eyes that could cut you, that's her. Don't touch her. I'm coming for her. If anything happens to her, I might have to kill you with my bare hands, but I'll do it. Second is Pablo. He's the short Mexican. Dark hair, interesting choice in mustache. I've already lost him once, so if anything happens to him, I don't think I need to repeat myself. You find 'em, you bring 'em to me. Ashley J. Williams.

Now, I need to get back to my celebration because I'm finally being recognized as the hero I am by those assholes in Elk Grove and I need to get back there and rub it all in their faces and make sure they fully understand the fact that I saved all their sorry asses.

It says something about my life when this isn't the weirdest thing to have happened to me, it really does.

Also, FYI, I'm the big green hulk-like person but I don't bite, promise. I just can't tap into the power that lets me look like everybody else right now.

Oh! I'm Teddy by the way.
