I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me [ Week 10, Thursday]

[chiseler]

[It's about 8pm when Luke sets plans into action. Initially, he'd kept things between himself, Adam, Grell and Dorian. He hadn't anticipated that Dave would also be contacted by someone from the other side, nor did he anticipate the other things that had happened this week.

It takes a lot of convincing. It takes convincing the others and vouching for Dave, ensuring that no, he's pretty sure Dave isn't an alien and yes he does understand the risks of bringing someone in. But he feels like it's important that they all talk and start to put this puzzle together.

It doesn't hurt that all of them had also explored different sections of the top deck, too.

So it's Thursday evening shortly after dinner that he rounds up the group and tells them to wait in the chapel for him. The doors lock once they're all inside and the lights are low, but at least they can all fit comfortably in here and it's less conspicuous than the viewport. Like on Tuesday, Luke's leading the discussion and he leans back in one of the pews, looking at the other four thoughtfully.]

We are gathered here today because...well, a bunch of dead people are talking to us. [That's about it.] We should compare notes further and see if there's any sort of answer we can come up with. Who wants to go first?

I'll pass. Much like evisceration via alien, it's a fate I have some pride in avoiding for this long. Besides, I find myself rather unattached these days.

[Just a slight bitter edge to his words when he speaks. No harm meant by the comment, but the person he was seeing did die only two weeks prior. It's astounding sometimes how little anyone seems to remember.]

I don't think so, I don't think they're in the game. The Bull made it sound as though they're watching us via some sort of surveillance device. The place they are is called the Cradle; I think he would have said if it was a quaint little town in a game somewhere.

[chiseler]

...I can kinda confirm that, actually.

[tevinteriscoming]

Oh? Do tell.

[chiseler]

I, uh, kinda had a conversation with somebody myself the other day. Confirmed a couple of things for me including that the monitors go dark on Thursday nights and they can't see in our rooms. Whatever the monitors are, anyway.

[tevinteriscoming]

They can see into our rooms. But they can't see everywhere at all times, no.

[Not elaborating on how he knows this, but he sounds pretty certain.]

Who did you speak to, then?

[chiseler]

[...that's unfortunate. But ah well, he just shrugs.]

Lavi got in touch on Tuesday. Adam already knows, too. The conversation was pretty short but I got a couple of things out of him before he got cut off.

[parodeity]

Hey, you're legit a club member now. ...Also, picturing them watching us on security cams now. Semi creepy but at least we like them so they can keep it up I guess??

[chiseler]

I don't know how I feel about being watched all the time. You'd think they'd get bored after a while. But it also raises a question of where they are if there're monitors everywhere. Lavi didn't have enough time to tell me that part, either. What is the Cradle?
