I'm around.

Got a note from indeX, all of the capital letters spelled out DUTCHIEE, and the note seems to indicate that we're going to need a key that's currently in Dutchiee's possession and we're going to need to kill him to get it.

Also, I'm guessing you heard a voice in your journal? That probably means that my code actually worked, because I got a voice in my head as well, telling me that the calling will happen very soon, and I'll find what I need inside the central stained glass window, I can just push through it and there will be no resistance.

I work tonight, but I'll be around on my phone and will check in periodically before the phase ends.

That's so weird. No, I heard no voice in my journal. There is a post in my role thread that I call out to everyone about the revote, but nothing else.

I did get a note, the caps also spell Dutchiee.
It says:
Dylan and henry are mine.
UndersTand.
Coded messages.

take care of It now. E.

List for this round?

Put Dutchiee high. Possibly Ari too. Not sure on that...

Alright, I put Helios and Vespis as my top two. Way to completely F things up, Vernon. @_@

What's kind of bizarre is that I have no idea whether he successfully bought the potion or not.

If people are posting a list based on Vernon or what I posted, I hope they would be more likely to vote how I suggested. Guess we will see.

Should say how *you suggested, and I tried to just back that idea. Realized my poor wording as soon as I hit add reply and can't edit.

According to the shop dude, we needed $2000 for a potion and $4000 for a flash grenade. The wallet only had $1,000 in it, so I have no idea where the other money would have come from.

Ari also never answered whether he was at the bank alone, and that makes me think that he's possibly suspicious as well. It's remotely possible that Dutchiee actually did go to the black building, but if he did, he's got unkillable status like Vespis'. If he didn't go to the bank, then he's even more likely to be scum, but either way he hoarded the combination for no apparent reason when he obviously would have benefited by giving it to the group at large.

At the moment, I'm highly, highly inclined to think he's scum and the damned saved him. Obviously he was able to be killed by a trap the first time around, so unless he picked up body armor somewhere along the way he's gained some kind of power by coming back to life, which is why the black building didn't kill him. So either he lied or he's invincible, either way he's hiding something and needs to be a prime suspect this round.

Unfortunately, my attempt to sidestep these exorbitant prices by handcuffing the guy and stealing all of his stock was administratively denied. So no potion or flash grenade for me, I'm afraid, but hopefully Vernon will have had better luck.

That, or the scum will hopefully believe that he's got the potion, and will refrain from killing us. Either way, it'll be fine.

Successfully looted Bryce. He had two paper shards on him, which gave me all I needed to get the password for tower four. It was Ariadne, the name of the girl who gave Theseus the golden thread he needed to make it out of the original Labyrinth in classic mythology.

I think that this might actually be relevant, if only because the keys from the compartment weren't lootable afterwards, because they had nothing to do with the rest of the game. If the shards weren't useful, stands to reason they wouldn't do anything either.

Also, I'ma try going through the stained-glass window, just to see what happens. Looks like there's nothing else to do this round, and I would rather exit and leave the rest behind if I can possibly do so, since I don't feel like dying...

You can leave? How did I miss that!?

I'm not particularly fond of the idea of dying either.

Are you able to get all the way back to the towers?

I wish for the life of me I could figure out what index is wanting me to do, he keeps telling me to take care of it, and I'm his hope. Any ideas?

I doubt if I'm able to get back there, but I do have the capability of leaving. I think my password was the one that triggered the "rise of the fallen" or whatever it was, and that's why I heard the voice. It told me that I have the capability to go straight through the center stained-glass window. Whether anybody else can, I have no idea.

Then again it might just be that something is hidden there. I have no idea.

Good luck! I heard nothing so looks like I'm stuck.......waiting to die? :(
