★ WEEK TWO: FORWARD MOVEMENT ★

[modaphor]

[A lot has happened in a few short days.

Arche has grown a great deal from her interactions with the assembled agents of the facility; thanks to their influence, her chamber has taken on a few new additions, including a rapidly filling curio cabinet and, more recently, an orange and black Maine Coon kitten has come to stay in the facility as well. Thanks to Ginti's advice, he is no longer confined to his transparent tank in Arche's Chamber; in fact, you may see him wandering around during the week. Please be kind to the local wildlife!

On a more serious note, Arche has located one of her missing memory cores, which comes with some...vaguely unsettling information surrounding it. But, since the general consensus seemed to be "yes, we'll help", she is now hard at work securing the gateway to the pocket dimension; if asked, she will approximate that it will take her until late Thursday night to get everything up to scratch.

In the meantime, she's helpfully provided some recommendations for people to work on this week, in preparation for this week. If you need something to think about, you might try working on one of those?

Otherwise, the facility is still available to you, as is Arche. Have a good week, everyone!]


SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[OOC: As with last week, if you want to talk to Arche, please use the subheadered comments! Also, we had some agents looking around for clues last week, so as a way of encouraging and streamlining that —

If you intend to look for clues, please explicitly mention what sort of thing you're looking for and approximately where you are looking, and consider asking for mod attention in the comment header so I can find it easier! Thanks, everybody!]

[Good thing he did, too, because there are two things he'll immediately notice:

One is that there's a handwritten dedication on the inside of the front cover.

The other is that nearly all of the pages have been ripped out, and the ones that are left are blank.]

[Oh my god.

If you don't want people reading your damn notes just get rid of the book, don't shove it in somewhere in the middle of other books about ducks, who fucking does that...

Okay, what's this dedication thingo written on the front cover?]

[modaphor]

[Written in sweeping handwriting, the message reads:

META,

REMEMBER! DON'T WRITE WRONGS, RIGHT WRONGS!

It's signed at the bottom with the letter G with a heart drawn around it.]

[nullorvoid]

[...Huh.

Okay, that's...some really bad wordplay, and something else he'll take to Akane later because this entire thing is more than a little confusing.

All right. Is there anything else among the ducklings here, or is that all in this general vicinity?]

[modaphor]

[That seems to be all! Got some books, got some weird stuff, and there's no sign of those missing pages sitting around anywhere, either.]

[nullorvoid]

[Okay. He'll have to wait to deal with all of that until he can flag down someone who knows what they're doing, but until then he'll probably spend some time in his room looking those books over again.]
