I don't think so, no. I don't see his face on the post, but that doesn't mean much. Could be that he missed it. Or...maybe he was never here at all. I dunno, mate. I know I don't like it, though. TERMINATED is a pretty strong way to say someone's not here any longer, if he was ever here...
Yeah, that's my concern. Their verbiage is a little too intentionally foreboding if you ask me. Nobody was saying anything or claiming him as having woken up with them or being a friend or anything, so maybe he was never here at all and it's just to make us uncomfortable. I'm really hoping it's just that.
So you think maybe just ignore it and hope it goes away sooner rather than later? Did you hear anything about or from this guy? If he was really here, I feel like we ought to go look for him, because that can't bode well for the poor guy. If he's here and that means what it sounds like it means, then if nothing else, he deserves a proper send off, which I doubt these people, whoever they are, would've done...you know?
I donno about ignoring it? I don't think we can ignore anything that happens in this place. We need to keep an eye on things more carefully, really. I think another check in might be needed too. Make sure everyone is still here. See if anyone actually knew who he was.
Yeah, he's right fit, I'll give you that. If he was here and it's not just to upset us, then I wonder what happened to him, too, and whether the verbiage is intentional and literal...or just a poor choice of wording...
I hadn't seen him, either. That doesn't mean much coming from me, though, since I haven't left my group much, just to be safe, and I don't get on here a whole lot.
It's hard to say if we need to be doing more check-ins or if he's just someone that didn't want to be a part of it - if he was really here - too.
All we can really do is speculate, but being in groups and doing everything to keep safe is kind of a given here, so I don't think anyone can fault you or anyone else there.
Could be both - I don't think more check-ins would hurt either way...
No, I'm not - that's how I wound up in that padded room with Ben, actually. I was alone and laid down for a nap and then woke up there. I got separated from the guy that I woke up in the dining room with pretty quickly and just have tried to not get even more lost than I already am. I haven't physically met up with anyone since then.
I'm starting to wonder if we should choose a de facto leader to be in charge of that sort of thing.
...and then I think that'll probably only invite drama we hardly need right now.
Oh, that was you? I woke up with Ben. My friend Cleo and I stay with him and his brother, Klaus, and the man that Cleo woke up with, Derek. You really should make sure you're round someone else. If nothing else, at least someone will know to look for you if you go missing.
( Which makes her wonder whether Dean had been on his own if he had, in fact, been in this place at all... )
Honestly, that's my only worry with it - we could maybe try for a handfull of volunteers to do it, but there has to be a away to access the list of people and anything notable at the same time.
Yeah, unfortunately, it was. And I've been thinking that, truth be told, I just need to find someone who is open to creating a group or teaming up to have one another's backs. The longer I'm here the more I realize you can't really go at anything alone because there are just so many things happening in this stupid house.
[And, honestly, if something happens to her she wants someone to know, not to just wind up a face on a screen]
[she still can't help but worry about other people in the house - and she's considering when would be a good time to do another sort of check in too anyway.]
I think I lucked out in the padded room that Ben was there. I'll find a group, or someone to team up with. I know that the guy I arrived with has to be alone here somewhere too, honestly, I haven't seen or heard from him since. And he and I might not be the only two that wound up that way.
Ben's really useful to have around. He's a good guy.
...yeah, that's a point... I suppose I hadn't thought of that. I know Ben and I got separated for a bit, but found one another again. And Cleo and Derek said they got separated almost straight away, but they found each other again, too.
Well, he's had thoughts that opened up the possibility of how the walls are moving here. One idea was that they might be mechanical - someone mentioned that - but he's offered alternatives based on in-the-moment observations, namely a supernatural/magical sort of option. I know it kind of requires a suspension of disbelief, but when you run out of possibilities you kind of have to look outside the box
Have they ever moved in a way that seemed almost purposeful way? I mean the doorknob biting you, even if not a wall, kind of fits that.
You would be surprised how easy it is for me to suspend disbelief, mate.
( It's hard not to be good at it when one is a human girl one day and then the next, she's a mermaid. Plus...Ben has tentacles and has been dead for years until now, so... )
Yeah. There was that. There's something else that happened when we were walking down a hallway. It was like that whole first day was trying to force the two of us to sort of...overshare...with one another, in a way drown us at every turn.
It does make me wonder if there's any sort of awareness in the house itself or observation and manipulation going on with some of the purposeful things. Then again it could just be reading too much into it too.

You really can't. I'd have probably been done for the first day if not for Ben.

Sounds like it's more common, and maybe even something the house does on the regular, which I didn't realize before. That's good to know, actually.

Well, the walls sort of move of their own accord, seems to me, so it makes sense that it would happen more often than we'd prefer.
