Unless there's something in the bushes I see there, I guess you should see what else is back here.

Oh my, looks like Dimitri found something!

It seems to be.... a journal of some form. The writing is extremely crude, almost child like. The sentences lack any formal structure and seem to be mostly random thoughts.

Dimitri flips through and reads certain bits.

"Don't get it. Clarissa promises to explain it all but she explains nothing at all."

"Other maids used knife. Moved it to special drawer. Kept note. 'Masturbation Knife'. That teaches them."

....Dimitri's not sure what to make of this, but each entry is signed "Monday".

>>134192

Wow, strict family. Well, search for a back door. Maybe a window you can open.

Can you give us some more on what it says?

>>134192

Take a look around the house before exploring the interior, maybe. Take the gateway to the left.

>>134193

Or dull knife.

See what happens when you're nice to our guests and hosts? When we're nice, they leave weapons and clues for us.

I can only imagine the horrors Dahlia will rain down upon us for insulting her earlier.

Also, I'd like to point out that we have only six bullets. It would be wise to seek out the knife mentioned in that book to have something else to defend ourselves with. Aside from that, stealth and hiding is probably the best way to get past any dangerous enemies we might encounter.

>Can you give us some more on what it says?
A lot of the entries are really illegible. Not because of age or deterioration, in fact this journal looks fairly new, but whoever wrote this had the writing skills of an 8 year old.

Some of the readable excerpts including the following events.

The author states he/she does not enjoy in-door bathrooms. They continue to state that they've found a good place to urinate in somewhere in the gardens.

...

Another entry states immense dislike for all the rooms in the house. It states, "father leg room best. she there. good friend."

>>134193
>Take a look around the house before exploring the interior.

From where Dimitri is standing. He doesn't seem to notice anything unusual. The house is old and decaying. There doesn't seem to be any mirrors, or any gates leading elsewhere.

>Take the gateway to the left.

That seems to be the best choice. Dimitri opts to inspect the left gate in the walkway.

...

This one seems to be locked. Dimitri decides to climb the gate.

...

Seems empty.

>>134351

Look under the soil in the trench, as well as under the soil where the missing plant is at in that row. Longshots, but could have something useful.

>>134351
I think the author of the journal is the dog.

Dimitri searches the area and finds nothing.

>>134451


I guess try to see if you can reach the side or back of the house. If not, go back inside the front door.

>>134451
Yeah, if we can't check around the grounds anymore, might as well get a better look around inside.

Go back to the main door and try going pass the other gate.

Lets go check out the staff quarters. That diary hinted at there being something in there.

You enter the hallway leading into the staff's quarters. There are three doors leading into different rooms. Which do you take first?

Ready Pistol, check the first door.

>>137425
You'll have to be more specific than first door. There are two on the left, and one on the right.

Which do you choose?

>>137438
One on the right.

>>137449
I second first door on the right.

You enter the first door on the right. It seems to be a sort of dining area. There are some tables, a path leading into an actual kitchen, and an announcement board of some form.

Read the announcements. Also, check under the tables for traps/treasure/excitement.

>>137497
A quick survey under the tables shows nothing. Just some dust collecting.

Dimitri moves to the board. It seems to note a few interesting things.

1. Staff's schedule. It seems that only the female staff remained on site at all times. The rest of the male staff, which included the chef, the servants, and a "maintenance" crew all resided elsewhere. The butler seems to be the only male staff member to reside in the manor.

2. There are a few announcements regarding the staff's personal lives. A few notes here and there regarding do's and don't's. There's also a note regarding a new year's celebration.

"Hey, all. After we're done preparing for the Master's annual party, we'll be going back to Jeff's place for some drinks and a good time. Sign your name here if you're going to need a ride! Directions at the bottom if you're gonna be okay on your own."

There's an address at the bottom. Dimitri's new to the area, but he can recognize where the address is. "Don't think that'll be of any use, though," he says.

3. Another note contains a message from the Head Maid. "To all staff members: Should you witness anything strange in the manor, be sure to come directly to me. Gordon and I won't be able to keep up with all of the complaints unless you tell us what's wrong."

4. The last note seems to be from the person who's diary you found near the Dog house... It's the same style of writing and is signed by the same person. It states: "Fallopian tubes."

....

Well, then. That's all the notes here..

Can you make out any of the text on the note that has it's body torn off?

Upon close inspection.... Dimitri notices something peculiar about the note...

>>137555
Take it with you. It's going to be important later on, I can smell it.

Smells like importance, by the way.

Take the scrap and head into the kitchen.

Take the fallopian tubes scrap as well.

inspect everything in the room

EVERYTHING!

>>137555
Take both notes and check the backside of them as well. Is there any kitchen linked with the dining area? If so then go in there and check it out, maybe take a weapon as well. If there isn't one then check out the next room, which should be the first one on the left in the corridor.

Dimitri takes the notes.

Both of them.

He looks around the room, but there doesn't seem to be anything of importance in there. He moves on into the kitchen area of the dining room. There are quite a few things here to examine. What order should Dimitri examine things in?

1. Broken service elevator
2. Oven
3. Cupboard
4. Trash

Check them in the order of 4, 2, 3, 1.

>>151210
The trash is filled with items that have long gone rancid. The stench is enough to drive Dimitri away from it.

Dimitri opens the bottom oven. It seems to have seen heavy use, it's empty. The top oven, however, contains a tape player of some form. Unlike the bottom oven, it seems to be quite clean. The tape player has a tape inside of it. It's been added to your inventory.

Dimitri checks the cupboard. Inside he finds a knife with a note attached, a pair of gloves, and a golden key.

The service elevator seems to have had it's "roof" collapse on it. The door is damaged and fallen inside, but there doesn't seem to be anything of interest in side. Simply a decayed old elevator.

Should Dimitri examine the items, or do something else?

>>151218

Listen to the tape in the player

>>151221
Seconding.

>>151218

Check the tape and player if they are rigged\messed up before listening.

You can never be too careful!

>>151170

Äre there any food around? Such as pizza ingredients?

Dimitri lays down the tape player on a nearby table and examines it thoroughly. Nothing suspicious about it. Just seems to be your average tape player. Dimitri decides to listen to whatever the tape might contain.

It's the voice of an old man singing. While the singing is terrible, Dimitri can't help but feel a bit more relaxed when he realized normal people used to live here.

As he realizes that the people that once lived here are now gone, and that whatever forced them out is most likely still here, the singer stops his singing to leave himself a bit of a reminder. "Note ta' self! Remember to set up ol' Higgins's VCR. Old man's been crazy to see his daughter's tapes."

>>154679
It's been quite a few years since this place has been inhabited. Anything that was edible has long since gone bad.

Read the knife note.

Dimitri wakes up in a different room. He's not sure where he is right now, but his head is in extreme pain. He glances over to his watch, five minutes have passed, but he could swear he was out for a month if not more.

More importantly, visions. Dimitri has seen something. Not just that, he's heard something. A ticking clock. As if the two "beings" he ran into before weren't enough, it seems that there are more dangers hiding inside this mansion.

What should Dimitri do?

Look around. Examine inventory. See if anything has been taken away.

Look for something to wield. A piece of wood to use as a club or a metal bar for preference.

>>190253

If he's still carrying that gun, that would be a better choice.

>Examine Inventory.

It seems that Dimitri has lost everything. All he has left is a small towel, a watch, and the map from his friend.

>Look around

The room is in complete disrepair. There are damaged beds, most of them broken in half, layered about the room. There's a mirror in a far off corner of the room, Dimitri decides to take the time to clean up a bit. Other than the damaged beds, there seems to be a collection of random books placed neatly next to the bed Dimitri was sleeping on. To the side of the room, a small cabinet is positioned neatly away from all the damaged beds.

>Look around for weapon.

There are a lot of broken pieces of wood, mostly from the damaged beds it seems. They are, however, very old and moldy. Would they make decent weapons?

>>195000

Look at the books that have been laid out for you.

Also, let's go check that cabinet afterwords. Bring a moldy piece of wood that you can heft well. Even if it smashes on the first swing it's better to hit someone with that than your fist.
