Two people have died so far this week. It's about as many as one can expect to lose per week around here and it isn't even the weekend; furthermore – whatever those two may have died for – it wasn't for the sake of Rule Seven. That much remains untouched, and as such, so does the incentive, begging the question of whether you're prepared for what may happen in a few days, if no one moves. Are you ready? Are you really? Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it; the clock chimes, the doors to the kitchen unlock, and there's a heavy silence that's settled over the building. You aren't even being awakened by Jericho this morning, which may seem like a good sign until the realization settles in – after all, that means the timer hasn't wound down. In other words, someone is definitely dead. Thankfully enough, as far as corpses go, the first two floors seem to be clear; that doesn't mean that nothing is amiss there, because some things may be, but at the very least there aren't any bodies here. No guarantees for higher up, though. Explore?

[Not at all, actually. This place looks untouched. Where do you want to start looking?]

[hesperos]

[ Let's try looking at the boxes first! Through trial and error he's bound to find someone something here, right? ]

[trustfellows]

[That's a fair assumption to make! Is there anything specific you want to check first?]

[hesperos]

[ How about the ones on the shelves first? If nothings there, he'll look through the boxed of rations, supplies and paper next. ]

[trustfellows]

[Up on the shelves you'll find that there's one box of matches missing!]

[hesperos]

[ Well then, he'll make a note of that. While he's searching up here, anything else missing?

If not, is there anything else going on in this room? Such as any of the cleaning supplies missing? ]

[trustfellows]

[The cleaning supplies are untouched, but there is something else missing: rope! It looks like someone took a large amount of the rope here.

There's one more thing to note about the missing items.]

[hesperos]

[ Someone sure got roped into this mess! Okay, jokes aside, how are the blankets looking? Those all in one place too?

If not, what's going on with the missing items? ]

[trustfellows]

[I just made the worst noise, oh my god.

The blankets are all here! The thing to note about the missing items is that nothing else was moved. It looks like whoever went in here knew what they were looking for.]
