[ZEX's handwriting is worse than usual, but he's putting effort into it]For Those who are Not Human,
I did some preliminary investigation regarding the doors upstairs. For our newcomers, I believe that these doors could conceal the stairs to the third floor, where I believe either our bodies are kept, or the method with which we are changed from our natural form to a human one is housed. The doors, as I suspected, will not be moved with brute force from any one human or even a group, so that leaves us with two options.
- An explosive or incendiary of some sort
- Finding the keys
My knowledge of chemistry is fragmentary at best, and your atmosphere may be differently composed than mine so what I do know of explosives might not apply here. There is that and I am still unfamiliar with how human locks work. However, I doubt many things could withstand the force of a good explosive, and an incendiary could melt the handle of the door if they function here as I think they do. I've spoken with someone who says they would be willing to construct an explosive as long as they are given the materials. I'm going to be searching for these myself, but things will progress much faster with more people. I'd recommend that if you are interested in investigating the doors on the second floor, you might help with this search (I am hoping that some of you will have more information about human society and materials than I do.)
[Here ZEX copies the list Rude gave him earlier]bleach, metal pipes, a hot plate/heat source, a battery hydrometer, large steel containers, beakers, a balance to measure chemicals, potassium chloride, glycerin, sulfuric and nitric acid, alcohol, mercury, powdered aluminum, iron oxide, gasoline, glass containers, a snake bite kit, a solar ignitor, wire or string, batteries, sulfur, sawdust, charcoal, electric tape
I believe most of the chemicals (I assume a lot of these are chemicals) can be found in the laboratory areas. I already have a metal pipe, so that is at least one thing. This list may be removed at a later date, depending on how strictly the staff watches this board, so please copy it if you can. If you need a copy, I can make one for you if you contact me.
The keys are a more difficult matter. I do not know where they might be located, or who might have them. Since the staff at times can assume monstrous forms at night, they might still carry them when they are changed. This may be our last resort if the doors withstand a bomb blast.
If you would like to investigate the doors upstairs yourself (particularly if you have some knowledge of human locks), I advise you exercise caution. I would be interested in hearing any new information you may find, however.
Again, you do not have to assist me with any of this as I will try to do it myself if it comes to that, but things can be accomplished faster with teamwork. I would hope that if we share a united goal, we can work together to achieve that goal. I am sure many of you want to be yourselves again, and this seems to be the key to doing so.
I welcome any other suggestions as to how to get through these doors, if you have them.

[ooc: I went and googled up how to make some simple explosives to make a list of stuff Rude might want, so that list should pretty much cover a lot of various bombs and a basic combo that makes gunpowder. I hope it's okay that I went and just threw a bunch of possible stuff together (cause it'd be a bit hard to look for stuff when I don't know what I'd be looking for :O) and man I hope the government doesn't come after me for being a terrorist now]
