trustfelled | Week 3.

WEEK 3
Grace and Doug are dead. It seems that there isn't anything more to do but mourn your losses and try to move forward. The Transmitter's rules still hang in every room, a reminder of the only means of escaping this place.

But surely no one else will give into them, right?

Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Once again, however, it seems your efforts won't go unrewarded; another set of corridors have opened up, much in the same fashion as the other new area did last week. With them come new rooms to explore; maybe some of them will be to your liking.

Or perhaps it's better to say that hopefully some of them will; after all, if the Transmitter gets her way, you may be here for a very, very long time.

PATIENTS REMAINING: 26

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Transmitter, you can do so through text or the phone in your room!]

Telepathically transmitted, you mean.

[I mean that's more or less exactly what he said, but putting words to it is nice.]

I suppose so, yes. I asked if it was magic, but she was not willing to elaborate.

I suspect she wouldn't be allowed, no. It's likely key to how this place is run.

Mmmm. It is a common thread in our conversations.

Do you have examples?

[Shrug]

Nearly any question about our situation, really. There are ways that this can end, aside from...Rule Seven...but she could not give me any more details about them. Nor about what their end goal is.

[...ah.]

I didn't ask her that one, but I indirectly asked the Risen. They said they're not sharing.

She did say there was an outcome where we could all return home. But that she hoped we would remain. Something about that was...something they had been working towards.

She also told me that they did not choose us for this. They received us, from someone else. Only the number was predetermined.

[...wait, so--]

There's someone in charge above the Risen...?

Above, or simply separate. I am not sure if they received orders from this other party. She said they had...waited a long time for us, which rather makes it sound as if this were...well, some sort of favor. Or a transaction.

Again with the long time...

[Rin frowns, but shakes her head. She should clarify.]

When I spoke to the Risen, they said "they haven't had this much fun in a long time". They confirmed when I asked that they've done this before with others, but the last time was boring for them.

What is magic to some would be simple science and inborn genetic abilities to others, so defining it in those terms is not as helpful as finding out how it is performed anyhow.

[Good deduction there, man. You, she likes you.]

Whatever it is, I think I can safely confirm the Risen themselves are nowhere on the premises. They may be nearby, but it's unlikely they're in the building.

[And if that's wrong, then they're just lazy as fuck.]

I wonder what the exact reason is that they speak through her... literal mouth....

It might just be a matter of security to not even let us hear even their distorted voices... or it's a sign that we're so remote that wireless transmissions would not reach us. While telepathy does, evidently.

No, I think it's more than that. Even their pet is capable of it on some level.

Oh, I wasn't doubting that.

It's an honestly unfortunate situation... we don't have any one among us who themselves one possessed telepathic abilities, do we? We'd direly need the active frame of reference.

[Rin shakes her head.]

Nothing on that level...

[For her at least.]

I've only observed it being used on others and that isn't the kind of in depth knowledge needed either, yes...

Or simply inheriting the memories.

Given her title, it's likely there's some kind of transmission involved, but it's a method that she wasn't able to explain to me...not because she wouldn't, but because she couldn't, from my understanding of it. I had actually been wondering about this, but, on the topic of transmissions, it seems almost as though she's more of a receiver than a transmitter, does it not? Or, at the very least, a transceiver.

[ ... ]

...Er, to put that more simply, to those who might not be aware. A transmitter and a receiver are two parts of a whole communications device; the transmitter sends messages to the receiver, and the receiver turns those messages into output that we can hear. A transceiver, by comparison, both sends messages and receives them, which seems a bit more like what's happening here...

Couldn't it be that we're the receiver here, though? She's been fairly forthcoming with what she can share.

[ . . . Also PS she's totally sitting next to you and aiming to hold your hand. ]

[ Of course she is. ]

Yes, that's true; after talking to her for a bit, you start to get a sense of what's off-limits versus what she can divulge. But it seems more like she's receiving messages and interpreting them to us, rather than the messages originating from her, in cases like this.

Have you tested her memory before now?

[ She's not making a show of the hand holding this time, more just... holding the hand. ]

I haven't made it a point to, but it might be interesting to try something like that.

[ She's not rejecting her hand, in any case. Nachetanya seemed a bit shaken up at the motive today, but she supposes she can't blame her. ]

[ She makes an affirmative sound at that, but if Tsubasa didn't then she didn't.

... Hand squeeze. ]
