[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.

Will someone with a phone take a snowmobile and go into town and get Abra? She flatly refused was too afraid to attempt the walk in this weather. I'd do it but I might kill her I only am just now realizing we were gone for way more than a day, and I want to figure out what the heck is going on.

Scotty is Simms' son. Someone apparently told him about Simms today and, to understate, he's not taking the news well. I'm trying to talk to him via PMs now but we probably want to gather and pull him aside for a face to face. Downstairs dining room, 5 minutes?

I need to postpone the house meeting I had proposed earlier. Would people like to plan on tomorrow? I'm feeling really under the weather and I'm trying to get back on my feet.

Okay, house meeting. I can't lure you all with the promise of food like Jack would, but I can at least promise some refreshments if I have to. So let's day day after tomorrow, noon, in the dining room. We'll bring in extra chairs if we need them. I'd really appreciate it if everyone could come, because we have a lot of important things to talk about.

Among other things, one of our goals will be organizing a group of volunteers to search the town on a regular basis, and perhaps even making some of the buildings safer. I'm also going to try to summarize the majority of what we've all been through, and answer any questions our newer additions might have. I think Owen has some things he'd like to discuss as well. And he still needs to introduce himself. If anyone else has anything they want to cover, we'll certainly make time for it.

Again, please be there, and let me know if you can help out in any way.


[Private to Tobias}
There's something I want to talk to you about before the meeting. I know it's kind of uncomfortable, so it's up to you if you want to do that in person or here on the network. I don't mind either way.

[To Marco, Felix, Audrey, Levi - 7:22pm]
So I think I've caught up on the network. You four were the primary group answering questions for the new people, and I need to know something moving forward.

I could be wrong, but it looks like [...] nobody told these people that someone died here. And that They basically forced it. The details of the prison I found in messages were very vague. Of course, that could be something that came up in the meeting you guys had? But. I need to know what I'm dealing with.


[To Owen, Oliver, Kate - 7:24pm]
We need a game plan. I want to hold a house meeting as soon as possible, announce it tomorrow, and I think there's a couple different things we need to go over. We need to make sure the new group is properly informed, and as for the rest... we need to talk about the prison fiasco, and the future of this council, if there even is one. I don't think we can wait for Pam.

And hey. Speaking of. Gut feeling here, I don't think anyone told any of the new people that someone died here. I just PMed the first people to come back to see if any of them told anyone privately, but it really reads like they're in the dark. We need to fix that.

I'm back, for those that know me already. For those that don't, I'm Cecilia. I'm a RN, mostly ER and trauma. I'm kind of the unofficial/official medical go-to here. I've been here since the beginning, and they've never put a medical doctor in here, or another nurse. I have to admit that feels intentional.

There's a lot of stuff I'd like to cover, so this post is gonna be long. I'm sorry, but I'd really appreciate it if everyone could at least read this over.

First of all, and most importantly, to anyone newer to the house, it would be hugely appreciated if you would send me any major allergies. You can do so in a PM. I keep at least one epipen in my emergency supplies for every severe allergy, so I need to know how to update my stocks. Likewise, any prominent medical history you're comfortable sharing with me private. I don't share anything medical you tell me, it's just so I know how best to try to help you if something happens. Because I'll tell you guys right now, very rarely do They intervene. It has happened - and most recently, it happened to me - but a lot of times, the overwhelming majority of the time, they wait and see what happens. I've had to stitch people up here. I've had to try to treat illness the best I can. I've had to set broken bones. The more information you feel comfortable disclosing to me, the better. At the very least, please tell me any drug allergies.

So I'm trying to catch up on the network to see what I've missed, but I see that doors were messed with again, and I just want to say to all the newer people: I'm so sorry that was done to you. I've had something similar happen to me, and I know how infuriating and violating that feels. I know how scary that confusion is of not knowing if it's the people that put us here, or another one of 'us.' It sucks, and in the past we've tried to figure out if it was Them, or one of us. We failed, but we'll keep trying.

To the what are we calling the first groups people that already know me, please, please, please make sure you have introduced yourself on the network. I know we're all still waiting to see who comes back and who doesn't, but we really need everyone acquainted and no one left out.

I'm a little disoriented still, but my door is always open figuratively speaking. My room is on the first floor if you need anything, or you can shoot me a message and I'll come to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need something, or you have any questions. In the very near future I'm going to be organizing another house meeting. I know you guys just had one, but as more people come back I think it's important to keep getting us together and talking things out.

I swear, there are good people here, and reaching out and getting to know each other helps. No one can get through this alone, and I can tell you from experience it's so much more bearable when you learn to lean on your friends.
