Exploration Zero Tracker:

[dyingmoments]

Contains: Thread lists, handwaved actions, and possibly additional monologues when I feel like it.

Day 1:

First day at the manor. Woke up with no idea why he was here, but calmly went about investigating, keeping most of his questions to himself. Did a cursory exploration of the first two floors and ran into someone at the storeroom. After that, he realized it would be check if there was an exit first and spent most of the day outside.

While outside, he had a video conversation with Hope about things they both observed about the manor, and Hope mentioned that there might not be a way out. Kangai's not ready to believe that, but he knows he needs a battle plan before heading into that forest. Even if it didn't feel... off, going into an endless forest with no supplies was not a good idea.

Neither finding a reasonable exit path nor knowing if any of the Invesitgation team is around, Kangai has no choice but to go back inside and stay in the manor for the night.

Other things of note: He grabbed a copy of the "note" that was on the kitchen, but didn't realize that there were other copies until Hope mentioned he heard about it too. Other than the kitchen, the only other room Kangai knows much about so far is the storage room on the second floor.

Hope: about the manor
Robin: at the storeroom

Day 2:

The blank notes from the kitchen suddenly have words on them today: What makes a flower, what makes a weed? We are always someone's flower, and someone's weed. Is it need?

Apparently he wasn't the only one who noticed-- in the morning, a post shows up on their watch networks, and the girl he saw the other day is asking what everyone's opinions are. Unfortunately, the conversation doesn't go very far. Just confusion over everyone having the same note, and wondering how and when this mysterious writer got ahold of their notes.
 

Handwaved: Kangai decided to explore the higher floors, but the bloody mess on the fourth floor has made him unable to explore it. He's only had a blood reaction once, but honestly? That's enough for him to avoid blood if he can. Another problem with blood is that it's really easy to come into contact with accidentally. He doesn't doubt the possibility that he might discover something important, but that doesn't mean he's going to just go around touching the walls without deciding what he's going to do with that information. He manages to explore the fifth floor, but he avoids the operating rooms for the same reason.

Day 3:

In progress.
On the third day, someone finally suggested a forest hike to figure out what's going on. Kangai tagged along, but all they found was a whole lot of forest.

Alex: hike through the woods
 

Day 4:

In progress
Kangai's fed up with being uncertain, so he finally decides to be "social" and ask who's in the manor. At least he finally knows that Aki and co aren't here now. Later on in the evening, he explores the house to try and catch the mysterious note-writer. Instead, he comes across a glowing crystal tear.

Day 1

[dyingmoments]

....just ten more minutes? This bed is--

Since when did he have a bed? Kangai groggily tries to roll over and check his surroundings, but his body takes while to comply. How long had he been asleep? Everything felt sluggish-- a part of him wondered if he had been drugged.

After a couple minutes of forcing himself to get up, his body started to do what he wanted. He grabbed the curtain next to the bed to open it, and another new item came to his attention: a watch that looked oddly futuristic, emitting a soft light due to the display's holographic nature.

I really hope I forgot something like Aki decided we should go to space camp and not what the pessimist in me is trying to tell me. So far, he couldn't see anything other than sheets around him, so his current predicament was unknown. All he knew was that everything was unfamiliar, and he had no idea how he got here. He rolled his eyes at the possibility of being captured by mad scientists-- he had enough of that with EU's grad students.

But when Kangai opened the curtain, he was greeted with an antique almost cottage-like room in hues of orange purple, and yellow. A weird contrast to the impression the watch gave him.

"Anyone else here? Aki? Naoki? Li Mei?" Kangai cautiously stepped out of bed, calling out to see if the others were here. The last thing he remembered was heading home with the investigation team, so naturally he assumed they might be here too. But there was no answer.

The room seemed empty aside from him. On a desk across from the beds, he found his wallet, his MP3 player, and his notepad. He flipped through his notes in case there was a clue, but... it was all gibberish. He couldn't read a single thing.

But it was his notepad. He could tell from the coffee stain on one of the pages. How some of the "words" were scratched out because he found out something else. And this page right here? It was when he realized who the murderer was in that one case.

He hastily scribbled something down on the latest page: "Where is this?" Thankfully, he could read that, but comparing it to his old notes, they looked completely different. The letters of his old writings looked simpler, but he still couldn't read it.

But there were other things to worry about now. Where was he? Where are the others? Is he supposed to be here or not? Where's the exit?

Only one way to find out.
