WEEK TWO - Investigation

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (2)

friday (?) survivors Friday comes again, but this time it's much more gentle. There are no songs ousting you from your rooms, no — instead, you are allowed to sleep however long you would like as long as it does not breach any rules. If you attempt to open your datapad, however, you will be greeted with a video and accompanying music, of a different sort of persuasion from the music played previously — this one is not a jangly easy listening style tune, but rather a haunting and dreamlike elegy. Turning off your datapad will make the video disappear, but restarting the datapad will only bring the video back up again. Despite this, nothing out of the ordinary seems to occur. You have lunch, wander the garden, and have a drink with the companions you have made in the past two weeks. Soon, mid-afternoon comes. ENTER COMMAND_

[It's not their fault they're clumsy wilting flowers...

BUT. FINE. Is it possible to collect the pieces to at least try and jenga them together? Or tape them together, if there's tape in the office.]

[al2955]

[ When Jason picks up the pieces and turns them over, he'll notice that the other side is a navy blue. There are raised parts that are a more pale beige. It will take him some time to put the pieces together. Thankfully, there's some desks in the office perfect for a little jigsaw puzzle. ]

[antagonize]

[Good enough. Don't mind him, then, as he settles down to put whatever the heck this is back together. Will he eventually succeed?]

[al2955]

[ It looks like some pieces are missing. The may have disintegrated or flew away somewhere. Either way, he can mostly make whatever it is this is. It has an oval shape, and looks like it has some skillfully done paint on certain pieces. ]

[antagonize]

[Like... an oval vase? Maybe a tray or something? What the fuck is pottery???????

Anyway — are there any other details of note? And is it possible to guess which room(s) it could have come from, based on the design and/or usual purpose for this sort of thing?]

[al2955]

[ It's much smaller than a vase, about three inches in diameter. The design seems decorative. ]

[antagonize]

[Oh, jeez. That is tiny. Are the paint colors and raised dots the only noteworthy design details, even after the lights are switched on?

Also: If he examines the door again, is it possible to theoretically jam an object of that size somewhere in it?]

[al2955]

[ They aren't exactly raised dots, but rather embossed areas.

It looks like it's just small enough to shove in the corner of the door, right in the track where it slides. ]

[antagonize]

[NICE.

Is there a big enough gap for someone jam it into that corner while closing the door from the outside, while using a string or something along those lines? Whoever put it in there doesn't seem to be in the room, after all... maybe.]

[al2955]

[ Someone could feasibly slip it in from either side, or slip it in before closing the door on it. ]
