Maybe we should be keeping a list of theories we're coming up with. Just to keep track and see what we should keep an eye on. Right now it's ghosts, demons, a psychic, memory loss, and the multiverse...that it?
Memory loss is the time stuff. [No, that's a Junpei-specific problem. But he's taking a clean sticky note to write those down, looking for a spot on the wall to post it. This means he sets the half-empty glass on the floor, gets up, and shuffles his way over. At least he seems more sober.]
We've been here for a few days with no sign of escape or anyone else coming in. Something has to change soon.
Yeah. We've been left to our own devices way longer than I expected already. [ three days without any contact is... odd. ] Hopefully that change at least brings some answers instead of more problems.
[ Maybe they went through this, then had the memories erased...? Anyway please god let their room turn into a crazy conspiracy room, I want to see it so bad. She wouldn't think anything of it. ]
I don't know. Some other people, or... Possibly us...? Have been through this before. Don't you think they would mention it if there was someone in charge, or someone who had come to talk to them about it? Someone besides themselves? [ Except for the potential demon, but whatever! ]
[It's going to happen because she's sharing a room with two detectives while Zia and I cry. There's a nod because yeah, both are possible. Just...ugh. He stares at the wall and his note for a bit longer.]
Not until the time was right. [Why are you so sure of that, Junpei?] We don't know what people among us are hiding information that they aren't supposed to give us yet.
[ it's all sticky notes on the wall from here on in. ]
... Junpei's convictions aside, [ junpei you have so much personal biases coloring your perception dick is tired ] we've already gotten information from the previous group. Even if it's not someone directly speaking to us, I'm sure that's not the only information they left behind for us to find.
If the door opened because you asked for it to, then this isn't something you found, but something that was given to you. In that case it's not surprising that it doesn't tell us everything.
Which is where Dick's point comes in. It doesn't tell us everything, but there's information left for us to find and it's why I want to either check the rooms myself or get that information from someone else who tries. [No.] We've checked everything easily available. Now we have to work for it.
I'd definitely like to explore anywhere that opens up. If you get anywhere else open, please let me know ...! Seeing it first hand is how we'll get the most information.
I'll also see if I can get any doors open with Logy.
Three seems to be a good number. It worked for me Beck and Higekiri, at least. [And C-Team was three people, so...it's a golden number.] People are gonna branch out on their own. We just have to be sure to catch up with them.
[He's not their parent. He's not going to make them swear to take an exploration buddy, but...he finally looks back toward them instead of the beginnings of the conspiracy wall.]
...Prompto has a camera. I might ask if he minds letting us borrow it if we find something else, too.
If we can reach someone else when a door opens, it'd be ideal, but I don't know if we'll have time to get anyone else. It's about making sure no one who can't protect themselves gets into trouble. [ dick frowns a bit as he says it but like. that's fine if junpei doesn't want to babysit, nightwing's entire superhero job is. babysitting. civilians. and for a while it was leading a bunch of teens so you know whatever he's used to micromanaging ]
A camera... That'll be helpful, especially since you said the room rearranged itself afterwards. Having tangible proof of any findings would be good.
Oh! Prompto showed me his camera, that really would be useful, wouldn't it?
Maybe I'll see if he wants to try exploring with us. [ Her and Logy, who she just by default assumes will be with her, apparently. ] But I wonder how else we could get into locked rooms... Should we just keep asking them nicely? Or try breaking them down with weapons...?
Sort of wish we could make the clamshells send messages to each other's profiles. I'm not really great with programming or anything, but maybe someone else could look into it. [That said:] Higekiri already told Beck and I that he wants to come with us if one of us is checking again. Seems like a few people feel the same way.
[Don't send normies in without someone who can fight. Junpei will go if people ask, and he'll do research on his own time. It's fine.] I'll have to see if he has enough power left, and enough memory. The pictures he showed me seemed a little recent so the charge might be good.
[The door though.] Asking nicely only worked on the one door. I don't know if the same trick would work twice. If you can bring someone who knows how to pick locks, that's a start. That was my plan before Higekiri's way worked. The doors seem pretty thick, so...you'd probably need a strong weapon anyway.
If they worked normally, I could probably manage that, but I can't even get into the profiles to edit them as it is. [ he lets out a sigh ] Maybe if I spend more time on it. I haven't tinkered with the clamshells too much.
[ since, y'know. priorities. ]
I can pick locks, but we're short on usable lock picks in this place. I can try going through the kitchen to see if there's anything small enough that might work. I... might have an idea.
[ but he doesn't say what it is and changes? gears? ]
You guys are going to have to tell everyone else this info properly at some point.
[ Escha is totally fine with telling people, but ]
Information distribution has never really been my department... [ So she's not really sure what the most efficient way of doing that would be. ] But maybe we could do a public announcement of some kind? Like an assembly in the lobby?
We might be here for a while, so we can add it to the to-do list. [Can they? Either way, haaa...ha.]
...I'll tell everyone when I have to. Let me think on it for the night. We should be careful how it's done. [It's a lot, it's fine.] But what idea are you getting at?
