It's probably worth a shot, if nothing else.

[applechemist]

Maybe we should have people write down their concerns so that they don't forget them in the moment... [ That way they get addressed properly! ]

[preceptive]

... Don't know how many people would take you up on that, specifically.

[this seems more like a "yell their concern out in the moment" group.]

[applechemist]

... Yeah, you're probably right.

[preceptive]

Though some people here could probably use some writing therapy.

[applechemist]

It really helps. Writing things down, even if you're just writing a report, it can help make things so clear...!

[preceptive]

Well, if all else and we get wiped out, it'd be good to leave a record behind for any future group.

{kagachi is a hit at parties, can you tell.]

[applechemist]

I have to imagine the previous group tried that as well, and that we're still limited to finding things at a certain pace...

[ Which doesn't make it pointless at all, but... ]

[preceptive]

Something in this place is pulling the strings. Polly chose to be a horrible person, but whatever's behind this made it convenient for her.

[applechemist]

How do you mean? Just giving the means to do something bad... It's not like they forced her to do it. Um, did they?

[preceptive]

No. It sounds like her decisions were all her own.

But it's pretty convenient that the one person who could read the book was part of the group that found it—and that all the rooms opened for her as needed.

[applechemist]

Those would definitely be a lot of coincidences...

[preceptive]

At the same time, we're not being set up to fail either. It's strange.

[applechemist]

You're right. If they wanted us to fail, they wouldn't leave us puzzles, tools, and instructions.

Maybe it's some kind of test. [ But then what does it mean to pass? Or to fail? ]

[preceptive]

For what, is the question.

[applechemist]

Could the whole thing be one elaborate ritual...?

[preceptive]

A ritual for what?

[applechemist]

I don't know... I've never been in this sort of situation before. I don't know a lot about, um... Rituals.

[preceptive]

Neither do I, unfortunately. Especially not ones obsessed with sex.

[applechemist]

I guess we'll learn something about them tomorrow... But it's hard to sit around and wait, not knowing exactly what's going to happen.
