transmittable: (Static)

Taking Responsibility.

Despite the lack of a body this week, you've had more than enough to explore and investigate; some of it may have answered some questions, while the rest...well, the rest may have just raised more.

However you feel about it, the fact remains that as soon as you all step out of that new section above the third and make your way back toward one of the primary hallways, the lights quite suddenly go out, casting the hospital into complete darkness.

Several seconds pass before something seems to happen and what sound like backup generators kick back on; the lights struggle their way back to life, only to immediately flicker and die again.

It happens twice more before the power seems to stay on for good - they're feeble, but they're on, and at least it's enough to see by. It seems the power is stronger in one place in particular, however, and it shouldn't be a surprise which it is; the courtroom remains just as illuminated as ever, the seats ringing the old operating theater remaining as starkly unoccupied as they always do, and the podium circle that awaits you seems to have been set up in its final configuration. Sakura Kashima's portrait has joined the ranks of the deceased, her podium draped in black cloth. A final reminder of all you've lost here.

Perhaps it's upsetting. Perhaps it'll only serve to make you more determined.

The public-address system remains eerily silent, even after you've found your places in the circle; once in a while the quiet is broken by soft bursts of static, by a heavy, electric-sounding humming noise. Occasionally, whispers can be heard; whatever they're saying, it's probably not for you. Regardless, however, one thing is obvious: this is the end of the line, wherever it may have taken you.

Eight Patients remain.

Good luck.

Do you mean the radio waves?

[ He thinks back to the chalkboard. Most of it was nonsense to him and he didn't get a good look at it (what do you mean he could read the notes she took here), but hmm. ] ]

Oh! There was a radio in the bedroom, as well! [He'll take it out of his bag for people to see - it's a handheld model, small in his paw.] But it is broken.
preciousking: huh, what, looks kind of dazed, looks kind of depressed too (♚ that's deeper than my pride)

Radios and waves seem to be a common theme, here. I was thinkin' it related to the Transmitter's title. Just in case, might as well ask.

[ He tries and fails to remember what's already been said about the chalkboard Lovecraft and Wheatley found. He looks at Lovecraft! ]

What'd your chalkboard say again?

[Lovecraft is here with answers!]

There were two sets of notes. One set seemed to be notes about how many games would be needed? A minimum of four. There were a few numbers listed as well, a few crossed out... I believe they may have been considering the number of participants per game? They did not seem to find it as efficient as they would like.

The second set is the only one that contained any mention of waves: wave displacement. The notes also had the phrase "let them soak" and the date, as mentioned earlier.

I am not sure what that term is referring to in this case, exactly...other than "displacement" typically means the movement of something. [...] Forcefully, at times.

[ Taking this in and slowly considering it. ]

Focusin' on the wave displacement first. Usually "waves" refers to sound, but the notes QQ found detailed how the human body can give them off. Also mentioned effects the waves have on them. Technically, we could put those together and get the general concept for how we were brought here.

[ But that could be reaching. He's not sciency, he doesn't know shit about shit. ]

This shit's stupid. Who the hell's left that knows about this?

[Lovecraft is starting to get a little overwhelmed too, but...]

I suppose? We all had to get here somehow... Many of us were brought from different realities and worlds.

[..."Displaced", one could say.]

But we were not brought here by the Risen. They may be connected to radiowaves, but we don't know if this is true of the party that gave us to them.

I assume that party is who created the game and allowed the Risen to use the format.
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-08-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be my guess as well. The Risen didn't create this game. They're just using it for some strange purpose.
georgeous: (:|)

According to Rin's notes, the room selection mechanism was also provided by the third party. They also clean up the bodies.
ossifragant: (⊗ here's where we all get ahead!)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-08-04 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
....That's kind of disturbingly efficient.

Experimentation for diseases maybe? The chalkboard in our room talked about radionics. It was saying something about how certain waves can be used to diagnose and treat them.
cthulwho: (☁ nnngh)

[personal profile] cthulwho 2017-08-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... That is a good point.

[Hmm.]

Then is this case of displacement more related to...them?

If they were in the submarine when the nuclear reactor did... whatever it did... then that would be plausible. It would certainly impact them.

Normally, the impact would be complete death, of course.
preciousking: dry, it looks like he's drooling but thats a cigarette (♚ forever i'll fight)

[personal profile] preciousking 2017-08-04 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ always refresh when you go to eat ]

So the Risen were in the submarine, somethin' happened, and the Transmitter showed up later.

[personal profile] positivespin 2017-08-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
And if some of them were her friends before? Probably means the Risen just keep growing and growing. But for some reason, they treat the Transmitter differently. Doubting it's her old friends' influence though.

QQ has a small radio too. Mikoto handed it over [ rudely ] after using it to open a door.

Oh. Perhaps this could have opened the armoire.
