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.

Aaaand open

>>154792
While bursting through the door would be more dramatically approrpiate the situation demands stealth. Caustiosly open the door and enter the new room. Prepare for it being your normal school cafeteria.

Check the kitchen

>>154794
Look around the cafeteria throughly. Is there anything beyone tables and chairs? I notice one of the chairs in knocked over.

Check to see if the water cooler is amused.

Check the signs/posters on the wall. What are they? Is there anything that gives the date or location you are at?

What time is it? Is the clock working?

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

The water cooler is barely amused.

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.

The clock seems to be stuck at 8:00.

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>155277
Greet the bunny.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
