[...

She goes quiet, her brow tightening as she stares down at her hands.]

...I wonder if it really is the same, then.

Are there keyholes on the doors?

[stormsoff]

Oh, uh... I'm actually not sure. What do you mean, Luna? What's the same?

[brokethefirst]

...

I've... done something like this before. Been trapped in an unlockable room, I mean.

I... hope that's what you asked.

[stormsoff]

[ ....

raising his voice a little, to make it easier for her to hear ]

It is. How... what happened the first time?

[brokethefirst]

Um... it was a little complicated.

The person that trapped us set up puzzles that we had to figure out on our own. If we did them correctly, there were hidden safes we could unlock with keys that would open the doors.

[recrypt]

... Puzzles.

[ with this group??????? ]

[brokethefirst]

Yes.

For example. Hasn't anyone noticed how many books are missing off the shelves? Well, um... before the fights.

[stormsoff]

... I hadn't really thought about it at all. You really think there could be puzzles in the rooms? That....








.... sounds like a video game.

[brokethefirst]

I don't know for certain, of course. Maybe it's just a coincidence. But it's not out of the realm of possibility.

The, um... odd story we heard on Monday could have been some sort of clue, perhaps.

[stormsoff]

Right. That story about the house, and the strange things the narrator heard and saw?

I was talking to Lio about it, actually. That story was way too ominous. Especially since they played it for everyone to hear! If it has some significance, then ... it would make a lot of sense for the mansion itself to have secrets and puzzles and stuff. Shoot... I wrote down as much of that story as I could, but my notes are in my room!

[brokethefirst]

I... think I remember most of it, if that helps...?

[stormsoff]

Wait, you do? Really? I know my transcription of it wasn't even close to perfect... you think whenever we get out of here, you could go over my notes with me? I'd really like to get it as accurate as possible.

[brokethefirst]

[that was so many words isaac]

U-um...

I'm not really sure what you just asked, but... sure?

[stormsoff]

... don't worry about it. We can figure it out later.

[ .............. SIIIIIGH ]

Hey, um, Luna? There actually is something I should ask you. I fell on my shoulder again.

[brokethefirst]

Oh no... again...? [She doesn't sound upset, at least! She knows you've been faceplanting, Isaac, it's ok.]

Here, let me take a look. Did anything change with how it feels or moves?

[recrypt]

I could help out too if needed. I like to think I have a pretty good memory. ♪

[stormsoff]

Oh, sure. Actually, what's your name, by the way? I never got a chance to ask.

[recrypt]

UMP45, but I don't think anyone around here actually calls me that.

[ See: Galo, her own roomie, who can't even remember the number. ]

[recrypt]

[

i swear to god if this is something that i missed despite 45 half living in the library ]

Is it substantial, or could it not be attributed to guests ...

[ pause. ]

Both present and previous taking volumes for themselves?

[brokethefirst]

Possibly. But what do we have to prove that? Has anyone looked? I would guess somewhere around fifteen, maybe twenty are empty. [according to the mods at least]

[recrypt]

... I have at least three of them.

[brokethefirst]

Um...

Is there any reason why you're just... taking books?

[recrypt]

[ well, ]

Cookbooks aren't going to do anyone any good if they're never brought to the kitchen?

[brokethefirst]

Couldn't you just bring them back when you're done, though?

[recrypt]

And find them gone the next time I wanted to use them? ♪

It's a library. People are going to take things out of it?

[ or just take them, i guess, since. unless there's some form of checkout desk or something all of us have just been ignoring ]
