So we’re waking up in barns now? Fun.

PM to Audrey
I'm guessing you're going for some of the big shit, but if you have anything you want to watch, I'm getting a tv and vcr in my room.



PM to Lennon
If you've got any points left after you get your mello yello big gulp, if you're interested I'm getting a tv and a vcr. If you've got any movies you want to watch over at my place, I'm always open.



PM to Kiley
I'm getting a little entertainment setup in my room if there are any VHSs you feel like snagging while we can. We can have a girl's night. Smoke some weed? Talk about boys?

We have collected and counted each group's winnings for today's challenge. Each group's totals can be found below.

Please reply to this post in your group's designated section to request your rewards. Rewards with limited availability will be given to the requesting team that has the most points. All requests will be reviewed tonight, therefore any requests made after midnight will be rejected, and those points forfeited.

Oh Audrey, my love? Do you want to play an awkward third wheel to my fishing date with Lennon? You might get a chance to warm up to the whole foursome fam.

Also, prizes and shit.

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?

Heading out with the B-Team. Keep me posted if any noteworthy shit happens on the feeds around us, will ya?

[PM to ExB]

You guys following along with this shit? I've got Lennon holed up here for the night so I can't check the feeds. What are we looking at?


[9:12]

Do me a favor. If I come by in person to invite you on a monster hunt, say no.




[PM to Kiley]

Shit, just caught up with what's happening on the network. You holding up? What's the plan?

Are the video feeds for the krauts really fucking weird for you too?

Are you lot trying to put a giant target over my head? Whackers.

Captain Ameridad says marker is a house. Not there yet. Found small secondary house a little southwest of the marker with Kate. Water mill. Looks like it might power the main house. Single story, four bedrooms, single beds. Full bathroom, living area, no kitchen. Tactical potential.

Looks like they want us to claim rooms ourselves. Kate's pretty vocal about not wanting to stay here. Going to nab one before anyone else has a chance to decide. Won't you be my neighbor?

1. Bag of gym clothing & trainers
2. MP3 player
3. The 3 cans of mace Ishaan gifted me as a set for Christmas
4. Easter reward voucher
5. My current bedding
6. Get out of jail free card
7. Phone set
8. First aid kit
9. Climbing rope and harness
10. My set of weather gear - coat, boots, gloves, thermal undies, scarf

And for my extra 2:
11. The set of concealable knives Felix gave me for Christmas
12. Chemical compound that induces aggression

It looks like Marco, Dylan and Vanessa are missing from the house stuck in town. Most of us have down a town sweep before so you know the drill. We need people for the search, particularly considering how cold it is and because we don't know the state any of them are in or if there's any kind of time crunch.

Anyone who is willing to help please meet in the foyer in twenty minutes.

We'll be taking the vehicles, I'll be driving the snowcat but we'll need a driver for each of the snowmobiles. We need to get as many people down there as quickly as possible.


What teams will need

- At least one network accessible phone.

- At least one member who has been in town a while/has participated in a search before.

- Wear warm clothes and sturdy shoes.

- Bring at least one flashlight and phone per group.

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



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


Below is a 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. Please post here to let us know which buildings you're going to be searching so we can avoid overlap. The last thing we want to do right now is waste time.

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, let us know when you're done with your last destination and check what's left of this list. Let us know 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're done with the main buildings we'll begin work on the houses on the outskirts. DO NOT ENTER THESE HOUSES. They are in extremely poor condition and one person has already been injured searching them. If there's someone inside, yell into the front entrance, they'll hear you.

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

I'd like to trade my set of knives from Simms for his rappelling rope.

[Filtered to ExB - 1:20pm]


Okay, kids. Let's pow-wow.

I think it's probably fairest for each of us to come up with something and submit it to the group, then we can weigh in and tweak together before we toss the three ideas at our generous overlords.

I'm thinking it would be a beneficial to have some discreet, underground transit system into town from the batcave. Maybe with an entrance coming out of one of the intact but less-used buildings in town. Hospital? Library?




[PM to Lucy - 4:15pm]


So I was looking through some stuff, and I've got this random German-to-English phrasebook one of the former residents left behind. I know that Vanessa is still struggling with the language barrier, but I'm not really comfortable giving it to her myself. I'd leave it at her door, but I don't want to chance someone picking it up thinking it belongs back in the study and then never finding it again.

I know you two are friends, so if I pass this off to you would you be cool with passing it off to her? I'd kind of prefer it if she didn't know who it was from. I don't want her to mistake it as incentive or anything.

OMG LEVI is GAY and he and his BOYFRIEND pretendeded to LIKE me just to SCREW ME OVER!! His boyfriend readed my messages and than INSULTED me!!
Why is EVERYONE so MEAN?!

Help Me.

[PM to Tobias, 5:30pm]

Hey, I wanted to check in with you. How are you doing? Has the medication made any difference? Is there anything you need? [...] Sorry for disappearing. They pick their timing well, I guess.

I think I'm more or less caught up on the network and what happened while I was gone or drugged. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. I feel awful for not being there when [...] things went down.

[PM to Scotty, 5:38pm]

Hi. I wanted to reach out to you and say [...] I'm sorry for your loss, and all associated with it. That you had to find out the way you did, and you have to deal with your loss and grief here. It's a new level of cruelty for them, in my mind.

Is there anything you need?

So, there's a few things I really wanted to get out there. A house meeting probably would have been better for some of them, but to be honest every time I've tried to schedule one since my last return They've interfered, and so I really feel the need to just get everything out in the open.

First, I understand there are some new people here I didn't get the chance to introduce myself to. So, hi. I'm Cecilia, I'm a registered nurse, specializing in emergency medicine and trauma. Everyone here is always welcome to come to me with any medical concern they may have, and I'll do my best to help you. And it helps me out a lot if people could let me know if they have any pre-existing medical conditions or allergies, just in case of an emergency. I don't know if it's been made clear to everyone, but the people who put us here don't always intervene when it comes to emergencies a need for medical attention. I also have access to prescription medicines at the pharmacy. It's my understanding that newer individuals are getting their daily doses automatically, but if anyone wants to manage their own medication, let me know so I can get it for you.

Now as I said earlier, I've tried several times to schedule a house meeting, only to have it blocked or delayed due to various issues. Each time I've tried so far I've either been drugged to incoherency, or just flat out removed from the house. There were a couple of things I wanted to discuss at these meetings, but I also think it's a good idea to get as many of us as possible together, as frequently as possible, to get to know each other and share concerns and ideas. Maybe we can figure out a regular communal meal or activity to do on a somewhat regular basis, circumstances permitting.

Another thing I wanted to put out for discussion is the security council. This would really be better in person but, as I said, I no longer feel I can justify delaying it. Quite a while ago, They told us to vote for a figure amongst ourselves to be our head of security. We voted for Owen, under the condition that he create a council to serve as opposed to just one individual. Other votes were held for the members of that council, with Oliver, Kate, Pam, and myself being voted in. TPTB said they would support us in whatever measures we attempted to take. They lied.

It is my feeling that everything we have attempted to do was either negated or undermined. I believe they put us in this position specifically for the sake of shifting blame, blurring lines, and creating division among us. I'd like to call for a house vote as to whether or not this council should continue. I am no longer convinced it is beneficial, and am curious to see how others feel about it.

Pam mentioned there was some trouble with a newbie named Joe, and that I should ask you for the details? Would you mind getting me up to speed? Thanks.

[PM to Edwin]
Oliver said I should reach out to you about Joe? I'm just trying to get brought up to speed.

fuck this shit see you guys in the batcave
