It's currently lunch time. The class is empty, everyone has already left to eat and play until 1 PM. Mint is still inside because she was spaced out, looking through the window earlier. Now she got her school bag on and ready to go.

>>153228
Pick up the note on the desk and read it.

Read the note on the desk, and then carefully climb out of the window. No-one will expect such a thing!

You kinda look like Tom. So read the note and hug yourself. That'll do it.

>>153228
Take a look at the note, and tell us what's in your backpack.

The note on the desk is actually the class' schedule. Since Mint already has that, it's useless to take another.

The building is not very tall, so Mint could probably walk out by the window. It would actually be different than usual; so, fun. She tries to open it, but it's locked shut.

In Mint's backpack, there is her school stuff. Three pencils; one being a pen, a few binders along with some blank sheets of paper. There's also her MP3 player and her cell phone. Nothing strange there.

>>153248
Go out the door, then.

>>153248
Go get some lunch then. Food is important.

Is that a light switch by the door?

>>153248
>>153250
Take out your cel phone and give David a call. See what he's doing for lunch!

>>153252
That is a light switch. It's currently turned off since it's the day and the classroom doesn't need to be lit. There was a flaw when it was fixed to the wall and now when it's in the On position, it actually is Off.

>>153253
>>153250
Mint decides to go get herself some food then. And while she's at it, why not eat with her best friend? She takes the cellphone from her bag and opens it. She dials the number while she walks to the door. Soon, David answers.

"Hello, Mint." He says. "What's up?"
Mint asks him about lunch, to which he replies, in a very excited tone: "Today I'm going to eat in the computer lab. I've got a very cool online virtual game and I can't wait to test it."

>>153249
Mint ponders if she should join him or not. Guys and their games... While she thinks about it, she reaches for the door knob. Surprisingly, the door is locked. Wait, that's not the classroom's door. There's no window and you can't lock it from outside, but it's the only door in sight.

turn the camera around so we can see the forth wall.

Here we see a picture of a young girl, as content and carefree as any other, with little conflict showing on her brow. A locked door is nothing, you might think. A barred entryway to what lies beyond. But soon Mint will find that it is only the beginning of terror as she finds a way past this obstacle... and into the Twilight Zone.

>>153269
Get a piece of chalk and write "You Just Lost The Game" on the chalkboard.

>>153269
>Wait, that's not the classroom's door. There's no window and you can't lock it from outside,
Pardon? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Let's see if there is anything on the far wall. Also, check the desk; there might be a key for the door inside.

>>153283

He means there is no window "On the door". You know how most schools have windowed doors so you can see what's going on outside (or inside the classroom).

So yeah, show us the 4th wall. If there is nothing there, bang on the door and yell for help.

At first glance, the room seems dark. Mint blinks a couple of times, and soon, she remembers. Oh... That was a dream. She remembers now. She no longer studies at Carolyna Highschool. Right now, it's her sixth... no, seventh... actually, she doesn't know for how long she has been there. It has not been for very long, though. She only slept about six times ever since she was brought there. By who? Why? That, she has no idea. All she knows is that she is in an almost empty room with a single door. Sometimes when she wakes up, there is food nearby. This time, there is not. It feels like a prison.

>>153323
This is no <i>good</i> morning, I assure you.

Sixth or seventh what? Inventory check! Do we have anything?

Give the room a once over.

What are you holding?
What are you wearing?
What is in the room, beyond the bed and door?
What in is the bed?
What is under the bed?

When was the last time you remember seeing David?

>>153324
Can you open the door?

>>153334
Mint has already tried multiple times. The knob just refuses to move. There's no lock or anything either, which makes the task of escaping quite harder.

>>153333
'What are you holding?'
Mint is holding the bedsheets. At least there were some on this crudely fabricated bed.

'What are you wearing?'
Mint is wearing her usual clothes. After all, she had nothing else to put on while in here, so she kept her shirt and skirt.

'What is in the room, beyond the bed and door?'
There is not much else beyond those. Sometimes there is food, wrapped in plastic wrap. Now that she looks around the room another time, she actually notices a little hole on the other side of the room. Some water trickles down.

'What in is the bed?'
The bed is made of durable metal bars, upon which lies a very thin layer of bed sheets. The thickest one is below another, allowing Mint to not hurt her back when she sleeps. The pillow is just an ordinary pillow.

'What is under the bed?'
There was nothing the last time Mint checked, but she had noticed some corrosion in the metal bars a few days ago. Now, a part of it easily comes loose and she can carry it around now. Under the bed, there's also her hidden stash of plastic wraps that she kept after each meal.

'When was the last time you remember seeing David?'
She doesn't know exactly how long it has been. She estimates the time of her capture to be one week ago. To her knowledge, David is still alive and studying at Carolyna Highschool.

>>153328
Sixth or seventh day. As for her inventory, she has plastic wraps along with a broken metal tube she just got.

>>153345
Investigate the hole.

>>153345
What is on the 4th wall this time?

How exactly were you captured?

Have you looked between all the bedsheets? What about under the pillow?

>>153349
There is absolutely nothing. Mint only sees darkness before her. Her eyes allow her to see the empty wall nonetheless.

>>153346
The hole is much darker than the darkness that fills this room. She can't see or hear anything, even though water is clearly trickling down the hole and onto the floor, slowly. Very slowly. Maybe that's why she can't hear the sound of water.

>>153352
Mint woke up in this bed after drifting off to sleep in her bedroom. She has no idea what happened that got her there. The first days she yelled for help, but nothing happened and she gave up afterward. She spent the other half of the time searching the room over and over, including the bed, and nothing useful could have been found. She did not notice the hole beforehand, though.

That's because it's new.
What are the walls made of? Try stabbing them with the metal spike to find out.

knock loudly on the door then hide next to it so anyone looking in can't see you. get a plastic wrap ready, and when they come in to check leap on their back and put the plastic over their face and suffocate them.

>>153357
There seems to be a slot on the door. Do you have some way of opening it, or looking out?

Have you had the dream of being locked in the Carolyna classroom before? Was it the same, or were there any changes this time?

>>153357
Stick your hand in the hole. Drink some of the water.

Mint could never do this with her young figure. She had seen enough movies to know kidnappers are buff and strong, she'd stand no chance. She had already knocked on the door before, and nobody answered. Before she tries again, though, she wishes to look at the new hole first.

>>153379
As far as Mint knows, this water probably runs over a long distance. She looks at the water carefully. She can pick up a strange smell that usually does not belong in water.

>>153360
The walls look pretty much made of a very bland stone blend. They look a little like bricks, but stronger, and the blend is so well-made that from afar it doesn't look like there's bricks at all.

>>153362
Mint doesn't recall this dream anytime before. Usually to have dreams she thinks about good stuff like cakes so she doesn't have nightmares. This time, it did not work it seems.

As for the door...

Mint takes a peek through the little opening, which seems to be placed there for air. It's very small, Mint could fit her hand through it, but that's all. She can't turn the knob either, it looks stuck.

Uh oh... Wave hi.

>>153608
Shout "Hello! Can you hear me?"

Mint waves, but there is no answer. She can't see anything else in the room other than that either. The word "Hi" seems to be engraved in the wall. Speaking doesn't yield new results either. Mint's voice echoes through the room, but nothing happens. When she tries to listen to see if there is any answer, she can hear the very faint sound of metal clank. It's very faint though, probably comes from another room.

Stand on your tiptoes, can you see any more of the figure?

>>153615
Try to use your third eye to look around the room.
Then try closing your eyes and using your spirit vision to look around the room.
Then try using your Psychokinesis to knock the door down.
Then try hypnotizing the guards to open the door.

>>153608
That's odd. Try to move your bed over to the door so you can get a better view.

The bed is stuck to the floor. When she first awoke she felt fear and tried to block the door so she could be alone. The bed didn't move.

Mint doesn't have any psychic powers. She doesn't believe in the supernatural either, she has read enough to know what is reality and what is fantasy. Magic and spirits? Nonsense!

Probably Mint's little voices in her head that suggest possibilities of action.

>>153628
>>153631
Mint already tried both, and none of them worked.

>>153632
The metal fragment is actually not that sharp. It's empty too, almost like a little cylindrical container, but nothing can be stored in it since it is open on both sides.

>>153633
Mint bends down to look in the water hole once again, only to see darkness. However, a finger touches the water already dripped down this time and she suddenly pulls back. It burned, as if it was acid. She sits down against the wall to rub her hand slowly to make the pain go away.

Look at door.

That does not look good. What is he doing to the bunny person?

I don't think attracting his attention right now is a good idea. Watch and see what happens.

Wrap some plastic on the flat end of the metal tube to form a seal.
Use the metal fragment jar to collect some of the acid.
Pour the acid into door's lock and the view slot.

Not the view slot, not attracting attention is a plus right now.

Using her PLASTIC WRAP and the METAL TUBE, she fabricates a very crude SMALL CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER! Using it quickly, she gathers the acid and let it drip around the knob. There's no lock, so she pours it on the base.

Victory! The knob comes loose, and a new ray of light comes from the other side, indicating that the knob on the other side also came loose. Sadly, the container consumed itself in the process, along with the many plastic wraps (only one couldn't have be sufficient to hold the acid) but she probably could open the door now.

Look through the opening again, check to see if there's anyone else.

Open door, examine new room

>>153669
Carefully open the door just enough so that you can see into the other room.

>>153669
Pick up the knob and the remnants of the shard and wipe them off on the bed.
Then open the door and look outside.

also cover your mouth so you don't scream.

>>153669
Wrap one of the bedsheets around yourself like a toga.

I hate to say this, but taking a sheet and pillow case might not be a bad idea before leaving. a Makeshift container and extra cloth couldn't possibly hurt, considering you have an empty inventory now.

Loot room, then go through door, be ready to run!

Scared shitless, Mint heads back in her room after dropping the items clumsily, breathing heavily and keeping herself from screaming.

Get back in there. There is only one way out and it's not through staying in this room.

Take a moment to compose yourself, then go back out there and collect your items.
Then take a look at the wedge.
Then head to the left.

That's odd. How is the torso staying up like that with straight arms? Whoever did it must have spiked it to the wall as well but there is no visible spike. Must be one on the back that is probably inserted into the skull to keep the torso up.

Anyway, scary room confirmed. But it's also the only one with doors in it so Minty is going to have to go back in there and test those doors.

now you HAVE to get out or you may be next. jam that thingy on the floor under the door to the right then exit left.

That won't do anything if that door opens outward.
At this point we want people to not know she's missing, which means closing the cell door behind her and not touching anything in other rooms.

Mint re-enters the room after taking a breather and composing herself. It's not a simple dead body which is half missing that will scare her... She's only a teenager! And she saw a dead body with blood pouring out of it!

Upon closer inspection of the room, and after getting her DOOR KNOBs, PILLOW CASE and BEDSHEET back, she notices the blood is actually dry. It has been some time since this bunny died. The door on the left is a sliding door that is not fully closed. The door on the left has some very thin planks nailed over. The object on the ground is a little case, oddly shaped for sure, but a little case nonetheless. Mint wonders what it could contain. It looks made of wood.

Mint's Sanity Level: Mild

Sorry, corrections, door on the RIGHT has thin planks over it.

Can you open it?

Strange. Check the contents of the case, then.

Does it look like you could take the case with you?

Open case. Prepare for cut off penises.

The case is stuck to the floor. It looks like some sort of strong, very strong substance is holding it there. It cannot be opened, as well, since there's a little lock only visible from above or the other side onto it. Mint has never seen a key that could fit on there.

After a quick look through the left door which reveals that room to be some sort of dining room, Mint tests how hard the planks are nailed. They are indeed small, but they are nailed hard, and without a hammer or a MANLY PHYSIQUE, she won't be able to take them down. She begins to dismiss the possibility of the tough-looking dude leaving through this door considering how blocked it is; but then again when he left, he definitively left on that side.

Mint decides to make herself a weapon first so she can defend herself in case anything happens. She takes the other door knob and stuffs both inside of the pillow case. It is too large to be wrapped tight around and used as a stick, but she can swing that cloth around with the two knobs inside, making a PILLOW FLAIL. Then she checks the left room once again and prepares herself to enter it.

>>154619
Well, see if you can't pillow flail at the wooden planks on the right door. Maybe we can open it!

I don't think attracting a lot of noisy attention to ourselves at this point is such a good idea. I vote for exploring the cafeteria further.

Mint checks if she can, but she doubt she could do it. After all, even if she didn't mind making noises, such an impact could potentially tear the cloth and destroy her PILLOW FLAIL. She likes the odd weapon, so unless it is absolutely necessary, she won't use it.

Speaking of absolutely necessary, now she prepares herself to enter. She checked first and there was still no sign of life, but in case someone is hiding, she readies her PILLOW FLAIL.

It doesn't seem so. Or if there is, then it is hidden.

The water cooler is barely amused.

>What are they? Is there anything that gives the date or location you are at?
The poster on the wall is the menu from before. It gives the date, March 29th, along with some food orders we can get here. The list isn't very long.

>What time is it? Is the clock working?
The clock seems to be stuck at 8:00.

Mint decides to take a look in the kitchen. She goes cautiously as before and peers inside, however, right now, all there is that contain things is a cupboard and a fridge. The cupboard is open and there is nothing inside.

>>154820
Just a quick check: assuming you have been gone for 7 days, is March 29th the correct date? Also,

>>154824
Hide in kitchen!

>>154824
Step into the kitchen and hide to the left of the door. Transform pillow flail into pillow garrote and be prepared to use it if anyone walks through the door.

Mint doesn't remember what day it was when she last slept at home. She knows there was still snow, so that board might be wrong; but snow often stays late in march, so it might not be wrong either.

She steps inside of the kitchen and hides against the wall. Footsteps are heard outside but nobody is walking inside. A little peek confirms that whoever was coming in the room from whatever direction entered the room with the dead bunny.

>>154834
Now that she thinks about it, there was something odd about that. She will check it next time she can.

>>154842
Go check out the fridge and brace for mind fuckery.

>>154849
Are there any other cupboards in the kitchen?

For that matter, where the heck did the other guy go? He went into what is effectively a dead end, and hasn't sounded an alarm despite your cell being open. Prepare PILLOW FLAIL, and check the cafeteria and previous rooms.

She checks the cafeteria. Nothing new here, apart from the sliding door being closed. She can hear some little quiet sound on the other side... kind of like someone humming a little tune.

>>154856
Hmmm, place door knob in the middle of the pillow, then twist the corners of it and create a pillow garrote.

Lets not disturb him while he's cheerfully humming in the same room as a bisected corpse. Lets check out the upper floor instead.

Agreed on checking the upper floor. Also, is that clock moving backwards?

>>154860
The minute hand twitched slightly.

Go back and check those drawers at the bottom of the fridge. If they're empty, close the refrigerator doors on the way out, but leave the cupboard open. Also, look in the sink.

Mint is still intrigued by the fridge since it hadn't been fully explored before. To her surprise, in one of the containers there is an ODD KEY! The other is empty. As for the sink, there is a tap for water, but there is no way to get some flowing: the controls are missing. It looks like someone pulled hard on them and ripped them off.

Check on the status of the musical man.

Close the refrigerator back up, then make sure the cafeteria is still clear.

Upon noticing that the cafeteria is still clear, she opens the door just a little, juuuust a little to check on the man. He's apparently crouching down and fixing some tape on a note on the wall. There's also a bunny guy near him, watching him fix it.

Something is seriously wrong with this picture...Go up the G-17F stairs. Your only other obvious path is blocked.

Agreed. It must be obvious that you're out, but he's casually taping something to the wall? Let's put as much distance from the two as possible, at least until we have a better idea of what is going on.

Upstairs, and keep your eyes open for a place to hide.

You did remember to close the refrigerator, right? If so, look around the stairwell. Don't go up just yet. There might be a place to hide there.

Mint decides to let the two guys alone for now. She peers around the corner and notices the staircase is really small in width. Nowhere to hide. Making her way quickly up the stairs, she finds herself in a new room which apparently only has this door as an exit. The staircase was really long to ascend, even if she did such quickly.

>>155066
Enter and close the door as quietly as you can.

>>155066
Enter and hide behind the open door.

Wave at the bunny person behind the glass.

Mint hides behind the door, noticing a lot of interesting things about this room. She remembers that bunny guy from somewhere... her memory is a little jogged... A wave was given in his general direction, but he seems asleep. She closes the door after she discovers that the handle can be locked from this side, locking it, and thus giving her an invincible hideout to hide in.

Mint moves over and presses the buttons in the order shown by the middle diagram. Nothing happens. She then steps back a little to consider this puzzle. There are two diagrams with different button pressing orders, and four buttons that are real.

She tries both combinations. Then she tries other combinations, all at random, that don't work. Yellow, blue, gray, red; red, blue, gray, yellow; yellow, yellow, blue, blue, red, red, gray, gray. Nothing works. Meanwhile, the bunny guy there seems to be awakening.

>>155277
Greet the bunny.

yellow blue red grey. seriously, it's so obvious.

>>155277
Well let's pull that lever that says "No" and set it to "Yes," and then try again.

Also say hi to David, even if that's not his name.

>>155335
Pulling levers without knowing what they do strikes me as a bad idea.

>>155341
So was hitting random buttons on a wall, and we've been doing that for a while now. A lever won't be any more dangerous than the buttons were.

>>155342
And we were lucky enough not to trigger anything dangerous. Let's at least ask the bunny kid if he knows anything about it.

Remember Tom? If we hadn't used caution back then, we might have electrocuted or gassed him.

Talk to the bunny before pressing any buttons.

>>155277
Stop pressing puttons and pulling levels. Greet the bunny person and ask his name.

While we're on the subject, would he happen to remind you of your BEST FRIEND David, by chance?

Mint notices the male wakes up. He reminds her of someone, but she's not quite sure. Of course, she saw the name David up there, and he indeed was a bunny. It might be him... So she waved at him. He replies with a wave. Seems friendly enough. She is still curious about those buttons and the lever, but she's unsure what to do with them, so she lets them off for now. "David?" She names him. He blinks, surprised. "How did you know my name?" Even though I can somehow recognise him, he does not seem to recognise me. It's a good thing there are these holes in the glass, that way we can speak through, though they are too small to for either of us to reach to the other side.

Tell him it's on the door. Ask him where this place is.

Is your head bleeding?

>>155438
What? You're not sure if this is your best friend? Mint, do you even know what your best friend looks like?

Anyways, tell David that his name is written on the door. Ask him if knows where the two of you are. Also, ask about the buttons and lever.

He kind of looks like David, but he's different. After Mint was kidnapped, he probably changed a bit or something, having lost his best friend. That's how things go. The bunny downstairs definitively looked like him too, that is why she was a bit surprised when she talked to him earlier.

While David explains that he hadn't seen his name on the door before, there were heavy steps heard from above them.

>>155462
Ask him what he knows about the things on his side.

The power of love will propel you upwards! FLY.

Or just pull that lever and see what happens.

>>155462
Move to the corner next to the door, so that anyone from above won't notice you immediately. Listen and try to make out voices.

Before Mint has even time to do anything, something falls into the water from the hole in the roof. She only has a glimpse of the thing. It looked round, as if it was curled up. The water, oddly, did not splash.

>>155477
Okay, NOW ask him what the things are.

if the water didn't splash then the water or the thing were not real.

>>155477
Is it... floating? Did it sink to the bottom? Ask David to check the pool to see if he can see the thing.

Also, check if you can see anything about the floor above from where you are standing.

David nods and heads close to the pool cautiously. The thing sank down: it looks endlessly filled with water. However, he can notice it slowly getting back to the top of the water hole. He still has no clue what the lever and buttons do.

As for Mint, she moves over as well to look up at the hole in the ceiling. She doesn't see much of the room above except a calendar that says the date is March 30th. The fact Mint moved as well reassures David somewhat; he seems at ease when there's someone with him, even if they are separated.

>>155505
What about the two items on David's side? What are they?

>>155505
I, uh, don't think that's a good sign. Don't freak out, though.

Ask him about the rest of his side of the room. It looks like he has a glass, plate, and some kind of hatch behind him. What does that do? Does he know of anything else in the room?

While he's doing that, let's examine that key from the refrigerator.

>>155508
Also ask him to keep an eye on the thing in the water. We may need to move quickly if it is hostile.

Mint quickly asks him what the chute is for. He says it's for food, and before it comes, usually a little rock drops down to announce it. The plate and glass were in this room when he woke up, probably to take water when thirsty or catch the food as it comes down.

Mint also quickly looks over the key she found earlier. It looks like it could fit in the locker from the second room, if only she could get back there now.

Mint doesn't freak out.

>>155515
...
Position thyself by the lever. The buttons didn't seem to work last time. I have the feeling we will need to get David out of there quicking sometime soon.

>>155515
Get over to the lever and be ready to pull it in case the thing in the water tries something.

Or you could push the buttons in the order of red-blue-yellow-grey. Because adding up the numbers, that's 3-4-5-8.

Ruby and Tom what the fuck are you doing here

>>155522
We also haven't tried the obvious red-yellow-blue-grey.

On another thought, the 1100100000 from the earlier room. That could be 11 00 10 00 00, or 30200: or 34244 if we're cycling. That's a bit of a stretch, though.

>>155531
why is that obvious? I really don't see why.

As the THING walks out of the water, it actually is the buffed up man from earlier. He leaves a trail of water behind him. Mint hurries over to the button and tries this sequence, which makes a click sound and something appears on the lever. David obviously freaks out more than Mint, even though Mint's Sanity Level has lowered to mild, and he falls back against the far wall in a vain attempt to get away from the THING.

Mint flips the switch a few times, that way she makes sure the man is dead. David rises up afterward, a look of fear still on his face, but he rises up either way. Mint asks him about the lever: he prefers it ON. He wishes to have a better look at the man too. Mint presses her hands on the glass while she watches him hug himself, helpless to comfort him much. He has to make sure the man won't rise up so he can calm down.

oh god! another symbol appeared. it may have one shows up every time someone dies in a room.

Let David know you are happy he is safe, but you aren't sure how to free him right now. You need to check on some of the other rooms first.

Unless anyone else has any better ideas, arm yourself with the Pillow Flail and head back downstairs. This was the only room on this floor, correct?
