[previously unknown secondary uses for windsock hoodies: impromptu scarves, which John has wrapped around most of his face, because what even is this. Admittedly it doesn't help the arm situation much, but that's what he's trying to find a jumper for.]
Okay, it wasn't this cold last time! It can't have been that long. [with a glance at the ceiling] Seriously, what is this place's deal?

well, yeah, if he's not looking after the place!
so he's never been here in person?
no subject
In fact, throughout that whole ordeal he kept making fun of me.
It took outside interference for us to manage to get everything up and running. And then the person in charge murdered our outside assistant.
I don't think he's here, but he may have been at some point.
no subject
oh. that's not good. is there some way we can get control of the system?
when?
no subject
It's not like we had a vote or anything - I think he may have infiltrated the place and messed with it while I was the only one living here. I had tried to make everything pleasant and welcoming in case I got any visitors, but that was far from what I had in mind.
Unfortunately I don't know how to regain control of things. I thought I knew, but I was proven wrong.
no subject
basically he's sneaking around behind the scenes. got it. when was this? have there been other things he's changed?
so we need to find another way to crack into the system. what was the way you did know, though?
no subject
The first sign of something strange going on happened in the 6th or 7th month, when I received a strange message. I didn't do anything about that message because it promised that I would finally be getting some visitors, which I was excited about after such a long time by myself.
That was something like 4 months ago.
Since then, let's see...
Well first of all, people started showing up again after such a long time of no activity.
I got locked in a laboratory with one other person.
I sent distress calls to a particular device which used to serve as an emergency contact, but found that it was stolen by Mystery Asshole.
A set of sundials in town which had been broken before were somehow restored.
Our life support systems started shutting down.
Some friends of mine who had gone to another planet to look for someone came back with a guy who we think used to work with Mystery Asshole.
Said guy helped us reset the life support systems.
Somewhere along the line something went wrong and the generic townspeople were toggled on. Which would've been fine except they were zombies.
The person I was locked in with shot me in the face to keep me from turning into a zombie.
I finally got to leave the stupid laboratory.
We all had our memories replaced, but they came back somehow.
Mystery Asshole murdered Proctor, the guy who was helping us.
It started getting cold for some reason.
I and a few others finally broke the only rule I was given about a year ago. I was to never permit entry into a certain room, but given the circumstances I condoned it.
That was where I thought we could regain control of things or at least send some people home. Neither of those ended up being the case.
And here we are now.
no subject
holy shit.
and… i guess that's not entirely over yet
what was supposed to be there?
no subject
Aside from that all we found were some empty picture frames, which
Oh
Oh god
I'm such an IDIOT.
no subject
what? what did you think of?
no subject
When I first got here, I thought that someone was taking an embarrassing photo of me coincidentally at the same exact time I was somehow transported here.
But now I believe that someone taking a picture is exactly how we got here.
The room that I was supposed to be guarding once contained a collection of photos of everyone who was brought here in the same manner.
It wasn't any kind of machine that I was supposed to protect, it was those pictures!
I don't think it has anything to do with controlling Luministi as a whole, necessarily, but I think that it has everything to do with what happens to all of us while we're here.
no subject
which means there's a photo of each of us somewhere
so… basically, it's kind of like… voodoo or something?
and this asshole probably has them.
shit.
no subject
He had told me that there was a clue right in front of me while I was in that room, and the only thing there was a table with the empty picture frames that used to have all of our photos in them.
I can't think of anything else he could possibly have been referring to.
no subject
was there anything on the picture frames?
no subject
no subject
there has to be some way to find this guy.
no subject
Before I forget, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ichijou. I came here in the same manner as you and everyone else, but unlike the rest of you I don't plan to go back to where I came from.
no subject
nice to meet you, ichijou! i'm john.
why not?
