WEEK 5.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 5 Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now. It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well. Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you.

[While it looks mostly empty and seems to have possibly been mostly cleared it, it looks like we've got a file folder down on the bottom, with a single word written on the labeling portion of it.

CONDUCTOR]

[ oh shit ...It's the only relevant thing in here, so she'll take it and... let's open it on that table in the center there, like a Real Detective.

What secrets does this strangely labeled folder hold? ]

[There's a photograph clipped to the inside front cover, of someone that should look incredibly familiar.

The first page seems to be text, and it reads as follows:]

He's back again. The man's an absolute cockroach, seeing as the last four times weren't enough.

We probably can't orchestrate another accident for a lot of reasons. He's gone way too long this time without being caught, though, and it looks like he's changed some things around. I don't know if it's because he remembers or just a happy coincidence. He's always remembered a little too much for my liking, and I'm not sure if that's something that can be fixed, but it's possible he just got lucky. Especially since he isn't the sole thing that's changed course; he doesn't have enough power to manage whatever the hell's going on in his world this time.

He'll need to be put down again. Hopefully this time it sticks.

[ ...That sure is Kimblee, and this sure is a lot of text. At least she's being a decent sort and not just skimming over it—she liked the man, for whatever that's worth, the least she can do is learn what's in his file (but his title was Observant, not Conductor...

Guess he died a lot more than he might remember he did. First page implies there's more—is there? She'll take the first one and lay it aside to get to the next ones if there are. ]

He's using his old title again. I'll buy a lot of things as being some sort of coincidence or accident, but this isn't one of them. He doesn't seem to know where he got it, though, so that's a point in my favor.

We'll see what can be done about him, now that we have something of an idea of what's going on. It shouldn't be too hard, all things considered. It's been five years and he's half out of his mind by now.

[There's a fair amount of blank space on the page, followed by: ]

First attempt at neutralizing Subject OBSERVANT failed.
Second attempt set to begin as soon as humanly possible.

[And the next page has this to say:]

Subject OBSERVANT has chosen the title CONDUCTOR for himself; twenty-nine people involved this time. He's utilizing something called the Gate to do this, though the exact method seems to be beyond his specific knowledge or control. It seems that his actions in doing this were not planned, but rather opportunistic in nature. Some sort of "social experiment" with the byproducts of other experimentation carried out by his God and his associates.

The world seems to be largely dead, having been ravaged by war and various cataclysms over the past five years. This is likely the reason behind their experimentation with the Gate, though that has yet to be ascertained. Even if everything seems to be largely coincidental, however, there will be a stop put to it.

[And the final page in the set:]

OBSERVANT/CONDUCTOR has been neutralized by one of his own Participants. However, there's no guarantee that he won't resurface again later.

A more permanent solution needs to be found.

[ ...This is a lot, and most of it doesn't make sense to her; according to Kimblee, he died getting his throat torn out and being eaten alive— maybe there was a Participant (something like their set-up? they're Participants after all—) that could do that, but...?

...

She's gonna put these back in the folder and close it.

Can any of the other cabinets be opened, or is that it? ]

[trustfellows]

[That's it! Go forth, Aligula, there's nothing else for you to find today.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ Great, thanks, she's gonna go forth with her prize!!!

...Don't worry she'll remember to turn the light off. Maybe she'll even think about cleaning up the storage, she's so nice! ]
