it was mentioned that the maps are an erasable white board material, not paper. That said, Whiteboards are indeed flammable, perhaps more durable than paper well.

>>958343 As for asking for cigarettes, I might be wrong, but I believe we only have 5 points, not 10 >>947430, unless I missed and forgot a page where we gained more. We do not have enough points. Best not to ask to exchange points we don't have

>>958565
Sadly we didn't see a coat or gloves or food in the area outside,
but there is a blanket (more than one if we count the curtains on the windows, Millie can wrap herself up in layers), and some wood from the broken table and chairs.

Since we don't have a lighter, we can use the glass bottle to aim the beams of the sun on the firewood (we'd have to do it while the sun is still out, maybe closer to sunset so we have fire for the night). or using friction by rubbing the woods together like they did in the old days to start a fire, maybe even using the broken bottle, or shards of glass from the windows to cut wood if we need to make it easier to start a fire.

But one other idea I have to start a fire is perhaps we can take apart that computer that displays points on our wrist and use anything from that to cause a fire, like a battery, wires, or any kind of circuitry inside or something. Granted we will not be able to see how many points we have, but screw it, we have other jump suits that displays points.

>>947943
We reached 10 points after participating in the vote about whether or not the newspaper article about the "Wailing Lion" was real or not.

>>958638

Ah, thats right. thanks.

Jeez Louise! That's mad. What's up here? Does the bed have a blanket?

>>958725
Speaking from experience, no it’s not worth it. I was under the assumption we would have at least some prep time and could pool resources. But we go in this half cocked there’s a good chance we can freeze.

Alright, I taken note of what materials we have access to and what direct problems we have to overcome and I'm finding myself in agreement with Harbard Grim. We would have a very good chance of freezing to death in this scenario.

As it stands we have these resources accessible to us:
- A bendable whiteboard that we could possibly burn (and markers and eraser), but it wouldn't last for too long and would be destroying a long term resource, assuming that we cant replace it.
- An assortment of broken wooden tables and chairs, good for fuel, but not tinder. I would like to get a rough idea of how many of them there are since it would let us gauge how many hours we would be able to maintain the campfire.
- Some really tattered looking curtains that we could use for insulation or fuel. Again a rough estimate of the amount of material would be good.
- A 'bed' that at least has a few blankets and maybe a pillow. If we're luck their would be a mattress too, but again we need to take stock of what exactly there is.
- Half of a glass bottle and 3 (aluminium?) cans.

For major problems we have to overcome:
- We have no sure-fire ignition method. We could use friction to start a fire, but that is hard to pull off without practice even under ideal circumstances. Or we could use electrical ignition from either the suit's shock collar or point counter, but that would only work if Pink allowed us to damage the suit and even then it would be a gamble because the battery might not have high enough voltage or accessible wiring that we could fray for the ignition process.
- We don't have any good tinder either. The curtains and blanket are too useful for insulation to burn so we'd have to spend time whittling some of the chair/table legs (probably with the have a glass bottle) so that we have some smaller sections of wood to help get the initial fire going.
- We need to find a way to cut down on the crosswind through this building or else most of the heat from the fire will be lost. Meaning we'll either have to find a way to cover most of the windows, or build a smaller structure (like a lean-to) that we can sit inside with a fire.
- Finally, while this building is wooden and would offer decent insulation even with the missing wall (but we'd have to deal with the crosswind issue first), lighting a fire inside would be dangerous. In addition to trying to get the fire lit we would also have to make sure that the fire doesn't spread along the floorboards and causes the whole room to go up. We could resolve this by filling the cans with snow and have them in arms's reach in case we need to douse sections of the floor.

So with that all being said, there are still two unknown factors that I want to ask about before committing fully to a decision:
First >>948313
"Garvin, you mentioned seeing and old burnt down house. Can you point it out?"
In the case that Garvin wasn't talking about the room we are currently standing in, that other house could certainly be used for either fuel or structural materials.
Second
"Pink would I be allowed to take apart my point-counter or shock collar for the duration of this endurance run? You said that I could only use anything available here right now."
Pink seems like the kind of person who would wants to show to the group that he can keep his word. If we can get him on that technicality we would have a possible ignition method. If he gives us a flat 'no' then I would agree that we won't have enough supplies to survive the endurance run.

Currently I am a soft 'yes' on the endurance run, but I am willing to be talked out of it if the rest of you (the suggesters) think that it is a bad call.
I'll be honest, even if we could solve some of the issues above I don't think that we will get out of this scot-free. Best case scenario we get a mild case of hypothermia, but we also could get severe frostbite too.
The losing fingers and toes kind of frostbite.

It was a very hard decision for me to make, but you know what? where there is a will, there is a way. This isn't about the reward, but to show others not to let Pink break our spirits, even if they are heavily against Millie doing it. We might not make it out alive, or in one piece, but it is a sacrifice to make to help others harden their spirits against Pink or else down the line, they could lose hope and cause hatred for one another from low morality, causing in a worst case scenario: death among us from murder or suicide.

>>958985
Well said.

Hopefully we can get a few questions in before the endurance run starts, but if Pink decides to not answer them then I'd say we risk breaking the point counter regardless. Fire by friction would take a lot of time we can't afford to waste.

((Yay! (Almost) everyone is being supportive. Those extra sets of clothes will do more than you would imagine!))

Alright. First task in any survival situation is to assess the surroundings. Right now the snowstorm outside is too perilous to navigate, so we'll have to forget about the burned out building for now.

What supplies do we have at our disposal?

Can we get a layout of the room? We'll have to pick a spot to start setting up and deal with those windows ASAP.

I'd say that we should also try to slip on another jumpsuit if we can. Maximize whatever insulation we can get.

If there is any point where you are not using your hands, be sure to tuck them underneath your armpits to help warm them up and prevent frostbite.

So 5 extra layers of clothing, 6 if we count ours. Maybe when the weather gets better we can determine the location of the building Garvin was talking about and travel over there to see if there are more supplies

>>959017
From what we determined, there are broken windows (we can probably pick up some broken glass from those)
Curtains on the window (can help as extra fabric or blanket to stay warm
a bedding on the floor (pillow, what looks like a blanket or bed sheet I believe)
a pillow sheet
3 tin cans (which are inside the pillow sheet
a broken glass bottle Millie dropped somewhere in the house
broken wooden table and chairs

There might be more stuff around the area hidden, like maybe under the blanket(?) where the bedding is, or under the pile of broken wood which used to be a table

but yeah, I too would like to see a layout of the room since that would be ideal. It would be good to see where we need to shield ourselves from the wind coming inside, like from the windows and especially coming in from the broken wall since that is where most of it is coming from.
That said here is an idea for a shield against the cold wind: Perhaps later we can move that table to act as a shield against most of the wind against us, especially when it gets dark. that table is most likely big enough to hide behind from the wind and may help a great deal. We just need to determine the best place to put it and hide behind.

To start I agree, it sounds reasonable to get dressed in an extra layer of clothing ASAP, maybe even two to start out with until night approaches. We will start with wearing one extra and see how Millie feels before we determine if she should put on a second one.

Also, lets take one of the curtains off the window, and cut it up to make Millie some makeshift gloves (or at least something to wrap her hands around with), and a face cover.

Also, I want to see if Glad is responsive. Try asking Glad if he is still observing us and responsive while Pink is gone to start out with and if we can ask it questions during this trial.

Lastly, be sure to take out the Whiteboard map and markers out of your suit before putting on extra clothes. See if the other clothes has items inside as well

>>959207
>>959209
>>959211
Support to all of this, especially the ideas of using the broken table as a wind screen, and possibly donning a total of two additional layers.

Ideally we try'll to find the balance between mobility and insulation. Put on too many layers and we run the risk of selectively overheating parts of ourselves. The resulting sweat would doom us in the long run, but I think that once were are done with whatever tasks we can achieve before nightfall we can revisit the idea of fully layering up with all of the suits.

>>959419
Okay, okay. We'll figure a way out of this...

Even if you can't wear any of the suits over your own doesn't mean you can't use them for slight insulation. Tie one in a sort of loose sling/turban over your head since you'll lose the most core body temperature from there. Tie another around your shoulders, knotting the arm sleeves, and tie the legs of the suit waist level so that the bulk of the suit is covering your back. Do this again but this time have the next suit cover the front of your body. It'll buy time and we afford the minor loss in mobility.

Luckily we can use the suit's toughness to our advantage. Wrap a sleeve around one of better glass shards to make a shiv and use it to cut into the back of the whiteboard map. (Preferable using maps provided by the others rather than our own, but judging from the current assessment, we can't be picky). Most whiteboards are are set onto a cork-board backing and that should be both dry and flammable.

Finally use the shiv to strip off wooden chunks from the wall (preferably as high as you can comfortably reach) most of that should be dryer since it has been kept off of the ground.

((Failing that we can use a table/chair leg to wedge into and pry off some parts of the interior wall. Judging from the damage we can see in image 6 (counting images left to right) there seems to be parts of the wall that we can put our wedge into.))

((I'd post more, but I need to see how the previous tasks progress, as they would modify various priorities I have. I'm sorry Millie that I didn't check if the wood was damp or not, it would've modified my decision, but right now we'll focus on seeing you through this.))

>>959423
sounds like it is worth a try. I support it

Here is another idea:

Let us think for a moment what little history we know about Pink thus far.

this person is obviously somebody who makes people suffer throughout their life, living a life of danger.

But looking at Pink's face under the mask, we can see that it was disfigured with scars and burns, showing signs that this person has had their fair share of suffering as well.

I am wondering if Pink was somebody who started out suffering, and then gradually decided to fight back and make others suffer in return, perhaps gaining a mindset to make others suffer in order to stop their own suffering.

with that possibility in mind, lets think what Pink themself would do in this situation: it is kind of odd that Pink just left Glad deactivated here and didn't just bring it back in the elevator. It is almost as if we are supposed to destroy it in hopes to start a fire in order to survive. Make Glad suffer to stop our own suffering like Pink might have done in their life. That is probably what Pink wants us to do with this puzzle. The more I think about, it feels like a sick test of some sort to try to condition us to be like Pink, like some sort of successor...

What I am thinking is first, pick one of the jumpsuits the other prisoners had given us and remove whatever is in it (like a whiteboard or whatever other items that could be found).

once you have emptied it out, place the jumpsuit over Glad the robot's head so that we can blind it. We need to keep in mind that these robots are programed for self defense if it is attacked, so we might need to blind it with the jump suit while it is deactivated so Glad doesn't attack us.

Next, we should move Glad somewhere that won't cause the whole cabin to go up in flames. Fire is good, but we don't want to burn to death. Maybe somewhere with less wind blowing as to not get fire on the wodden walls. We should probably consider using the round table as a shield against the wind

After Glad is in place, grab some wood from the pile and place them around Glad (not all the wood though, we'll need to save some)

lastly, grab a blunt object (maybe a long piece of wood from the pile) and use that to attack and KILL destroy Glad the robot from behind with your weapon. Hopefully, it won't see you if it activates from being attacked because of the jump suit blinding it, and maybe with the weird things on the jumpsuit like the shock mechanic and point system and the electricity from Glad the robot getting destroyed, we might be able to get a fire going for warmth.

...

lets just keep in mind that Glad is just a robot and not a living thing when we do this. Robots don't have feelings.

>>962362
I agree the direction that you are going with the analysis of Pink. Something to keep in mind, Garvin said that he saw another burnt-out building outside, and that might have a more direct connection with Pink.

I support the idea of emptying out the pockets of the other jumpsuits, we need to have a full picture of what materials we have to work with.

And I support covering Glad's head as a precaution, but seeing as it is a robot, its cameras might not be situated in its head.

I don't think that we will be able to destroy glad with pieces of scrap wood. It might be a lot more fragile than those security bots, but Glad is still made from metal.

Ideally we could use Glad's claws and shoulder spikes as proper cutting tools to both tear up the jumpsuits into more manageable strips and possibly expose the wiring of the point counter.

I'd like to hold off on destroying resources until other viable options are exhausted, but I would say that we could keep the plan of destroying Glad as a solid Plan B.

Alright, lets start by trying to pry off a single panel from the interior wall. Make sure to keep the section in as much of one piece as possible, like peeling bark off of a tree.

If we're able to do this and keep the external section of the wall intact then we might be able to make a fire and possibly a secondary shelter using the scrap wood.

If our attempt causes significant structural damage to the exterior wall, or if we aren't able to pull off pieces in sizable chunks then I would recommend that we smash Glad and see what components we can salvage.

>>963132
This,

though I still think destroying Glad may be the best option in this scenario to salvage circuitry or cause a fire. If we go that route, don't forget to cover Glad with one of the suits to cover its vision and higher the chance of causing a fire with both the circuits of the suit and the circuits of glad. Who knows, maybe glad might activate the shock of the suit closest to him causing more of a chance of a fire.

But also remember we have drapes on the windows that we can also use, they are probably wet though. If we can at least start a small fire, we can dry them up and cover ourself with them along, along with drying the wet blankets

...
In hindsight we probably should have stripped our jumpsuit off first and maybe dressed Glad in it so that he would have shocked himself, but that probably would have been asking too much considering the bitter cold, and Glad probably had another defense mechanism in store in case someone actually did strip off their jumpsuit before attacking... Ah well, at least we're somewhere warmer, but hopefully not a out of the frying pan and into the fire kind of warmer.
Considering we are now in a straight jacket, I do not think we are in any position to be arguing with Pink and should just listen to where they are going with all this.

hm, considering the green liquid Pink is drinking, I wonder if Pink is drinking Absinthe, that is our brother's favorite alcoholic beverage wasn't it? We should probably stop thinking about our family and focus on what is going on right now.

That said, did Pink just say Glasshrauder, as in the same last name as Dervan Glasshrauder, the same lawyer with the devil horns who gave you that cake in the bar?
We might need to keep our meeting with Dervan a secret from Pink if that is true, not show our cards this early on. But instead for small talk to get the conversation going, maybe at least ask if Pink personally knows those people they mentioned and if one of them was the friend who provided Pink with the robots around the facility.

Arguably this isn't the worst outcome we could've gotten.

>>965382
This is a good line of questioning, as the question 'What now?' might have unfortunate consequences for us.

Ridiculous. You're offering me a chance to hang out with you? How is that any kind of a prize? You've kidnapped me and thwarted my free will. I'm not interested.

This is another test. Pink wants to see if you are willing to abandon the other prisoners in order to save your own hide.

((I would guess that the cynical part of his brain is guessing that we'll be selfish.))

We should return to the others, show that we didn't die in a blizzard.

Wait, so when you say those peopld pink mentioned were the closest thing to heroes your world has, does that imply your world is a cruel place full of terrible people? Or is that just an over exaggerating way of thinking?

Hmm, as an officer of the law, has Millie ever done undercover work? probably not since she is new to the police force, but one idea I had was accepting the proposal Pink offered to stay with them and work undercover if only to try to get a better understanding of who Pink is, their motive, and where this location is. That way when the opportunity arrives to escape and get back to civilization, we will have all the information needed for their arrest.

but if we are going back to the facility with the others, we should be more careful with how we do things because since Pink now identifies us as a so-called "hero", they will be keeping a closer eye on us in the security cameras. We will have to be smarter about how we operate, especially if we want to find hidden rooms Pink doesn't want us entering.

Also, I wouldn't yell or criticize or argue or get angry at pink considering we are in a straight jacket. Pink will only view it as us challenging their authority and make our stay here more difficult than it needs to be. lets keep our opinions to ourselves for now and lay low.

I am still interested in who Pink got the robots from though. Maybe tell Pink that since their identity doesn't matter in this facility as they already showed us their face, there should be no qualms in telling us the identity of the friend they got the robots from.

There is a lot of subtext behind those worlds. If Pink really sees us as 'uninitiated' then I shudder to think what these 'lessons' would be.

But we chose to stay out of that bunker for a reason. Namely to get something to benefit the group, if we abandoned the other residents for this private tutoring then we would be going back on all we've been trying to stand for.

Again, we should go back to the rest of the group.

It would be dangerous to engage with Pink's fantasies, we need to shut this down, firmly.

"Back. Off."

I would say Just let pink get it out of their system...

But i think it will be funnier if we leaned back on the chair and have both of you tumble downwards since he has his weight against the chair. Might even hurt pink

not sure if leaning back to make Millie and Pink fall is a good idea, but if we go that route, Millie will need to make it look like an accident to not make Pink think it was on purpose, and make it very sudden and quick to catch Pink off gaurd and to not have Pink fall right on top of her but instead past her.
like, as Millie pushes her feet against the floor to lean back towards the floor, she should yell "AH SHIT!" as she and Pink falls backwards. Also, brace for impact on the floor, (or the wall, there might be a wall)

"I asked a stupid question because i got freakin' startled after that fall right now, and i am trying to calm my nerves by keeping this casual with my question."

I wonder if this Pink and the Pink we saw take their mask off when they first met is two different people

>>968857
((Good thought! We'll have to keep that in mind!))

We should express concern, help calm the situation.

"I was just surprised is all. Are you okay?"

>>968888
>>968857
These are safe choices. I Support.

Alternatively, I'd say if Pink pushes for a better answer if they dont like the ones we give, say something like "well Pink, as our host, since you took priority in checking to see if your mask is alright instead of asking your guest she was alright, yeah, I think I might be a little bit obligated to ask that dumb question... oh yeah, Im fine by the way... despite the headache, thanks for asking!"

The idea that this pink and the pink we saw at the start of the quest seems plausable, but one theory I have is that while it was safe for Pink to show Millie without their mask, maybe when they said they couldnt afford to be seen without their mask, and that proximity was an issue, maybe it means that Pink cant be seen without their helmet around the robots Glad and To Help. They are in the area, and if he was alright with showing Millie their face, maybe he cant show the robots his face or they may try to kill Pink for some reason.

That said, i am starting to not trust those robots more than i dont trust Pink. If the robot for example was indeed activated AND If Pink didnt activate Glad to knock out Millie in the snow and truly thinks it was a malfunction, then either the robots have a mind of their own... or somebody from the outside may have activated Glad to shock Millie, like maybe the original creator of the robots.

Im really tempted to ask Glad and To Help if they ever seen Pink without their mask, but I also worry what Pink might do if we ask the robots that question. Thoughts?

I think the main one to change would be 'not getting onto the Wailing Lion.'

Let me answer that question with a question, ever heard of the butterfly effect? Scary shit there man.

(Ooh, did Millie die? I dont know how we could of avoided that outcome if she did)

(I Dont trust this person, this fake Millie and this dream could be a construct created from Pink's drug trying to condition Millie into thinking what Pink wants her to think. Pink said that drug was made to "cure" her symptoms, so this could be a way to brainwash her.)

"Of course. I'm tough, talented, and intelligent. All that'll stop me is if circumstances really screw me or if I just stop caring."

>>968991
Good point, will keep that in mind. It feels like one of those scenarios where tribes or cults take hallucinogens or drugs to have "spiritual journeys" to find themselves when really they are just destroying their brain.
that said, this looks like this may be an attempt to try to take advantage of Millie's past misery to condition her into thinking that the only way to escape from her low points in life is to submit and join Pink and their "utopia" or something. Also, this doesn't really seem like a good time to be asking existential crisis questions when Pink is probably physically abusing and/or raping Millie's sleeping body in the waking world as we speak.

>>969001
support. I'm sure everyone at one point in their life asked that question if they'd amount to anything, but in the grand scheme of things and how big the universe is, why worry about that? Nobody's perfect, life is too short to be too worried about such things because then, you'd be ignoring the precious things in life to appreciate, and you'd also forget to appreciate what you already have. Just set goals for yourself, even if they are small, if you want to amount to things. Plus, didn't Millie just become a detective before going on this cruise? I'd say she already started to amount to things, especially at the age of 24 when she became a detective

My action: Check the inside of the trash. One person's trash is another person's treasure.

>>969001
Support.

I'd rather live in the present than dwell on the past, dwelling on the past for too long is unhealthy and you cant change what has happened. 

If we are absolutely forced to choose, let make it the recent past since it is closer to the present, though this still feels like a trap to me

Millie 2 doesn't seem too happy to be here.

Is it possible to not make a choice so we don't fall deeper into this drug trip Pink forced us into? if not, I guess recent past is what I would choose.

>>969206
But yeah, priority will have to be to try to get a grip back on reality

Far past. We might get to learn about her family and her life as a detective leading up to here.

>>969115
Support.

Something i realize, It could be possible that we never woke from that freezing test of endurance after glad shocked us and Pink never took us into that dining room and drugged us. Just a possibility but i dont think it is likely

If Pink did indeed wake us up in the dining room, I'd say less than a day passed (i cant imagine pink waiting days just sitting at the table just for Millie to wake up.) And after Pink drugged us, I'd say 2 days passed (because imaginary Millie is holding up two fingers)

The distrust for imaginary Millie comes from how Pink said before drugging us that the drug was used to cure us from our symptoms we're suffering from.

>>969290
Agreed. Recovering from hypothermia takes time, even with the wonders of technology.

We'll play along and take what happens here with a grain of salt, just to keep things going. 

As of now It has been 5 days since Pink drugged and stomped possibly now broken face: >>968958 
june 4th since face got stomped by pink, june 9th as of now, going on day 6 soon, june 10th 

So yeah, less than a day since passing out in the snow and waking in front of Pink, and 5 days passed out after being drugged. 

(Im wondering, it might be true that Millie needs help, but she didnt seem depressed and seemed to try to be productive with the cards handed to her so far, but I am wondering if the Millie wearing blue needs more help than Millie does and is the one that is lost? She doesnt seem all that enthusiastic compared to how Millie is taking things. Maybe we should ask if there is anything she needs help with? Only asking because this Millie in blue is in some way may be a part of Millie.)

>>969366 6 days now

wasn't 60 days the amount of time needed to pass in order to be able to leave? Well at least after we wake, we can just go back home (that is, if we ever do wake up) But that was a dick move of Pink to just take our free will away for something as simple as asking Pink if they were certain they had control over the robots.

Who is Ethan, and why is he writing about us? Is he another imaginary person like the Millie in the blue suit and this imaginary place? And if he is real, how did his diary end up in our dream?

and can we kick that trash can over to calm our nerves?

I dont even want to know how much pink ruined Millie's life during that long period after the drug incident. How could we have prevented that in the first place i wonder? Feels kind of unfair that we didnt get much of a chance to defend ourself before we even got started.

I guess maybe we should ask that before first waking up in the prison, we had a weird dream about a strange figure with different colored feathers or leaves on their head and a brown mask of some sort with a wine glass, and a triangle instrument and talked about conditioning. During that dream, we also had a vision of Garvin in his white jumpsuit, before we even met him. What was all that about?

So what are the flaws Millie has that this apparition says Millie needs to iron out? Granted everyone has flaws, but Millie's cant be too large of a flaw, right?

The truth is irrelevant at this point, with no way to corroborate what is being said anything could be anything.

Just take it as possible information to be inspected later. Panicking over what might or might not be real doesn't serve a purpose here.

Blue teddies in the trash kind of makes me think that Millie had to discard her childhood early in life, so maybe she never had a childhood in some way to begin with.

Well, If Red Millie wants to fill in the missing pieces of her memories, I suggest that Blue Millie hand over Ethan's book to Red Millie and let her write what she thinks happened. Got a pencil?

I imagine the worst possible thing happened to Millie. I think after Millie was drugged and woke up again, Millie was like a brain-dead zombie, the perfect condition Pink wanted her to be in so that Pink can brainwash Millie into becoming Pink's successor despite Millie rejecting Pink's offer to follow Pink in their shadow.

While Millie was in a zombified state, Pink probably filled Millie's head with their sick and twisted ideologies and even trained her to become stronger like Pink is. Also, Millie was probably raped by Pink most likely.

I imagine that Millie in her zombified state unfortunately may have hurt or even killed the other prisoners along the line but with Pink's favoritism over Millie, gave her all sorts of advantages to protect her from the prisoners in case they revolted.

I wonder if Pink also had control over those robots like they thought they did. What if the robots killed Pink?

Jeez, I hope Millie wakes up from this, but if not, well, at least she can enjoy this eternal vacation in her mind. Where's the beach?

But hey, here's an important question: how is blue Millie so sure Pink is a woman or not?

I think after pink stomped on millie's face, it broke her face and pink had to have their robots give her a facial reconstructive surgery. Except now Millie doesnt have the same face she had before.

I do not think Pink let us return with the others

Hey, What if red Millie just remembers things by herself and not tell Blue Millie what she remembers?

Hey, do you remember if there were bandages of some sort on parts of our face from when Pink stomped on us?

Anyway, i think we searched the room to see if we had our whiteboard and markers with us somewhere in the room, and if the garbage we collected from outside was in our room as well. Also, took a peek inside the present.

one (or rather four) of the things in the present reminded you of your brother and how he used to play a certain game at the bars you frequented at with the family. He was really good at that game and would sometimes spend too much time playing it leaving everyone bored as they waited for him to stop playing.

You also remember that there was a law against possessing sharp objects after looking at some of the things in the present.

The main thing you did though was get dressed, and think of how to figure out what time it was and if everyone was in bed or not.

We put the sledgehammer and darts back in the box, considering to bring it to our work office as confiscation tomorrow since we can't have sharp objects as per the new law, figuring you'll figure out what to do with it tomorrow.

I think we went to the shop...

but we ran into one of the other prisoners on the way...

He pretty much asked what those small pieces of memories Millie had those past five days.

Anyway, the key and detector was bought., bringing the points down from 110 to 10

Was initially going to get the coat to travel outside and investigate, but it was remembered that the coats all come in the prisoners' color, implying that there is plenty for everyone and can be bought later... unless someone buys more than one coat for some reason.

Couldn't help but feel like to Help was trying to hint that you buy the gun when it kept persuading you to buy something more expensive when Millie inquired about the key

Millie overslept. Pink was quote-unquote "nice" enough to decide to use the television to make a loud noise to wake Millie up instead of sending a robot to drag Millie out of bed.

Pink planned another meeting for this morning, wanted to reintroduce Millie back to the group... with a sinister twist.

Millie didn't really care if Zizzy wanted to be the leader or not, as wanting to compete for power is just a brainwash maneuver by Pink to get everyone to want to stay here. But Millie was wondering if Zizzy's time here was already brainwashing Zizzy into wanting to stay forever.

With that in mind, Millie asked Zizzy if she was planning on staying after the 60 days (Millie did not voice her concerns about the place brainwashing Zizzy. But thought that maybe perhaps the question would get some of the prisoners wondering about Zizzy's intentions here, and their own intentions here. Maybe hopefully have Zizzy rethink things a little what is happening here)

Also, after Zizzy gave her answer, she also tried to intimidate Millie by pounding the table angrily accusing Millie of avoiding the question, so Millie simply responded by saying she didn't really need to as she thought the answer was very obvious and logical, but calmly answered Zizzy's question anyway with another question: why would Zizzy be worried about Millie being a spy if Pink already had cameras and robots spying on us, like, everywhere?

Huh... I thought Millie asked if Zizzy was staying AFTER the 60 days, not DURING... maybe I remembered that part wrong...

Anyway, this next part is a doozy

Millie politely refused Pink's help, thinking it would show she wasn't looking to take advantage of anyone and wasn't a threat. Pink respected our decision, but they were still impressed enough to reward Millie points for showing bravery over a frightening situation by refusing the help. It wasn't a lot though, just 5 points bringing the total up to 15.

However, Zizzy saw Millie's refusal of Pink's help as a moment of weakness that she could take advantage of.

with that in mind, She said that one of the laws that were passed was that if somebody lost their job, they are deemed a liability and a hindrance to their society as they would not able to contribute and provide to the team and would have to be imprisoned to not get in anyone's way.

And seeing as Millie did not have her officer job, and thieving was not a viable job, and that there are no other jobs in this place for her, she is to be arrested and sent to the prison cell, and have her belongings confiscated.

Pink again showed their disgust on everyone's treatment of Millie, and told Millie very sympathetically to "hang in there" before Pink cut the broadcast leaving the meeting.

Zizzy ordered Vivlly (the brown guy) to keep us held back and ordered Sioko (the woman in orange) to check us for all our belongings to hand over to Zizzy.

As Sioko was checking our pockets, she did feel our key, and our detector, but surprisingly and curiously, she did not take them from us. But she did take our whiteboard map. She lied and said that the whiteboard was all Millie had and Zizzy took it to look at what we have drawn (like the security camera placement) and whatever we wrote

Zizzy ended the meeting by telling Millie that even though she didn't have any suspicious items on us, she will be going into our room to investigate for any suspicious items that might be deemed illegal enough for us to be thrown out into the cold (like sharp objects.

After everything was said and done, Vivlly and Sioko both forcefully took Millie into the cell, and locked her up. after they left, Millie was struck with anxiety as she worried that Zizzy might find the hammer with the sharp end on it, and the dart gun, sealing Millie's fate to be thrown out into the cold.

(it doesn't help her anxiety that there was a skeleton in a purple jumpsuit in the cell with her)

Millie saw Gavin as a true friend at that point. She almost cried a little, but she was strong willed enough to hold back the tears.

In return for his kindness, she remembered that Gavin tends to sneak in and out of places and decides to give Gavin her detector since she thinks it might help him sneak around, but she told him that she doesn't know what the detector detects, and that it needs batteries since the pink robot didn't let her have batteries. She recommended that Gavin could probably get batteries from the pink robot if he'd buy the flashlight since flashlights have batteries, or find some other way to get batteries.

Millie kept the key though. She had a feeling she needed it.

Millie also asked about Eidenly, the woman in black. She also believed in her and was in favor of keeping her here as well as the job.

As for the blue robot, Millie fulfilled its request by spinning the robot's head like a basketball on her finger as she spoke with Gavin. She did drop it a few times, but she came up with an idea in her mind that maybe the blue robot can be useful with some things, like give her information about certain things it is allowed to reveal, and be used as a self defense mechanism. If someone threatens her life with a gun for example, she can potentially ask the robot to give the attacker a non-lethal shock to knock them unconscious, it's her trump card, but will need to keep it secret. Though she'd imagined she'd have to fulfill the robot's sick fantasies once in a while. She kept all that to her thoughts.

but then, a contradiction arose: the robot is damaged, yet the last time we saw that robot, it was at the date with Pink, and it was not damaged and had a maid outfit on. Millie wondered if that was all a dream, if that was another blue robot, if her memory was scrambled, or if Pink fixed it but then damaged it again to put things back the way it was before Millie fell unconscious.

Naaaah, don't worry about it blue suited Millie. It's fine...
Because That wasn't the stupidest thing Millie said, that part comes many days later,
she said something much worse to an ally, something that was enough to burn bridges with them forever. I don't remember who it was, or what, but I'm sure I'll remember as we continue exploring through Millie's mind, but I know it was a really really bad situation...

as for what happened next, Gavin was about to say something, but then there were some kind of loud argument between two people outside. Gavin took this as an opportunity and as a reason to get away from Millie quickly, But before he exited the door, he gave us a look not of anger, or sadness, or disgust, but of disappointment. But he did say not to let this place corrupt her, like the others.

Only time would tell if he would return with the stuff to tinker with the robot or not. I'm not sure just yet, but maybe it'll come to us when it happens. I hope he does, but if he doesn't, well... I'm sure something good happened to Millie later.

I think after Gavin left, Millie put her ear on the wall to try to hear what that argument is about.

It was... day five... no, seven! A week passed since the first day. Glad had been keeping track of the days. Surprisingly, he's been super helpful for Millie during her time here as the days will go on. You'll see later.

And yeah, Gavin did bring the stuff, as well as a message. It said he discovered something interesting and to meet him near the area on the map with the fish symbol during curfew tonight... and it had tips on how to avoid the guard robots. Oh yeah, and it also said that there will be someone else that will be with him tonight.

Millie flushed the message down the toilet to destroy it, just in case

We used the tools to open up Glad's head and discovered something really pleasant that would help her which made Millie happy,

but also something disturbing... (a human brain connected to wires)
Luckily, Millie was a detective, or it would have made her scream, but she kept her cool dispite being disturbed. She took the nice thing she found from inside Glad's head, and put Glad's head back together when she finished.

Millie was wondering about the contradictions. She thought Pink dragged everyone out of the ship and into the facility after the ship was destroyed, and that Pink killed everyone on the ship, but now Pink is saying she found everyone in this facility.


Sioko, the girl in orange, broke down crying uncontrollably, and saying she misses her family.

Boliston the blue guy had a panic attack and started running out the room, kind of like how he ran away when we first saw him on the first day

although Sioko was still crying, she chased after Boliston after he left since it is her job as a psychiatrist to keep stability in people's mental state.

Vivlly, the brown guy, was really angry, he did not believe anything Pink said and was pounding the desk. He even threw a chair at the monitor.

Gavin was quiet, and pondering hard about something.

Zizzy... we couldn't hear her, nobody saw her but us as they were all distracted doing their own thing, but we saw her... quietly laughing.

regardless, Zizzy then calmed down Vivlly, and then let Gavin and Vivlly know what they will need to do next for survival in this facility

Millie tried to explain that it sounds like Glad went through the same situation that Millie is going through and wants to help Glad regain her memories before Pink, or somebody mind whammied her brain and put it in a robot.

to help jog Glads memory, Millie showed Glad the map, and pointed to the empty cyan room none of the other prisoners were using and asked if that was Glad's room.

Gavin, the guy in white had been in the meeting room for quite a while. Millie decided to check in on him again. When she switched cameras to the meeting room, it looked like Gavin was talking to someone on the large monitor. But the split second Millie took a look to see who was on the montior, the monitor turned off.

Millie wasn't sure, but it didn't look like Pink on the monitor, and instead, the only thing Millie could make out on the monitor was a figure that she thinks was wearing a long blue skirt, yellow shirt, and a large blue ribbon on their chest.

Millie wonders if she was seeing things.
