Thanks, everyone who showed up at my room last night. If you didn't get a chance to make it and you're still interested in helping, that's fine. Just let me know by leaving a note here or stopping me at some point today.

Those of you who are interested in learning about our false lives: the best way to do so quickly is to find your files in the first floor file room or head up to patient possession storage. Quite a few of you expressed interest in that, so if you'd like to do so and don't have obligations to a club, post here and we can assemble a group.

Those of you who are interested in how patients are chosen: The best way to find these answers is to get our hands on the discharged patients files from the room on the second floor. Presumably, Landel discharges us when we're no longer of use to him. Answers to the questions below may also prove of use. I fall into this group, so if anyone would like to try to make it to the second floor file area with me tonight, leave a note. [added] I may not be able to do so this evening. I'll post later with a definite answer. If not, we can try the following night.

Those of you who are interested in the science of how the institute works: Aside from collecting data from other patients, I can't think of any way to further investigation. If you have one, I'd be interested to hear it.

Questions:

1. If you know someone who disappeared and you don't mind answering questions, let me know.

2. I've been told that this is the second incarnation of Landel's Institute. If you have any information about the first one, I'd like to talk to you in person or on this bulletin.

3. If you remember the answers to any of these questions, please post with the information.

An estimate of how much time passed between nightfall and when you lost consciousness
How many people you traveled with, if you left your room
Where you traveled
Any monsters you encountered

4. If you are a new patient, a detailed explanation of the institute should be posted shortly if past experience holds true.

5. If anyone has any other questions or concerns, leave a comment and I'll try to help.

Presumably, Landel discharges us when we're no longer of use to him.

I believe the blunt way to say that is 'when his mental conditioning has taken hold'.

I encountered no monsters last night, and traveled with first one companion and then three.

I don't believe that to be the case. People have vanished in the middle of the night, in the midst of traveling with groups. If he discharges us, he uses the same method he uses to bring us here.

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

The detailed explanation has been posted.

Also, I'd like to continue our discussion from last night at some point. I feel it's best to discuss it privately, however.

Also, as to last night:

- I'd say about 3-4 hours.
- Two different people at different times.
- To room M3, and we were on our way to patient possessions when night ended.
- No monsters.

Thank you. I'd like to continue our discussion as well, though you're right, privacy would be appreciated. Let me know a time that would be convenient for you and I'll make myself available.

I'd like to help with the second floor file area. I just need to talk to a few people first.

I just remembered that I might not be able to do so tonight...I have a previous commitment earlier in the evening. If you need to take care of things too, though, we could start late and see how far we can get before the night ends. Let me know what's convenient for you.

I didn't really get anywhere last night, but I hope the things I dropped off were helpful. I just went to a friend's room after I met with you and we stayed there for the night. I think it might've been an hour? Maybe a little longer. No monsters last night though, I was really relieved!

[same anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that you didn't encounter any monsters. I only had a chance to glance over the items in the box, but I should be able to look at them more thoroughly during dinner. If you leave me your room number, I'll drop the box off first thing after nightfall.

[same anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

I only had a chance to glance over them before the shift changed, but I'll be able to give them a better look at dinner. If you'd like, I can come drop them off at the beginning nightfall.

[stalksperverts.livejournal.com]

I... I woke up here. I don't know how much time passed. I travelled with someone yes.

We tried to get my things back, but I don't think we made it very far. There were no monsters, just some injured people and a fight on the floor above.

What is this place? And is there any way I can find my friend?

This post should explain the basics of how this place works. What's your friend's name? I may be able to help.

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, Nightshift ended before I could make it to the room in question; however, I am still very much interested in taking part in this endeavor.

1. I have had four roommates so far, all of whom have vanished. However, I'm not sure how or when, precisely, they left the Institute.

3. About three hours.
I traveled alone.
I went to the men's bathroom nearest my room, moved into the female block to drop off some items, and was on my way to the meeting when Nightshift ended.
I encountered one monster: a scorpion the size of a large dog.

Thanks for the info. We can certainly use you...all help is appreciated.

Did you notice any change in your roommates' mood or behavior before they disappeared?

[secret-orchard.livejournal.com]

I've been interested in many of these questions, but honestly, I'm not that much help in a party.

[same anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

I doubt that's true. Combat isn't the only thing a group has to be ready to do.

What are your skills?

[toxicspiderman]

Did I mention the squirrel the size of a German shepherd? If not -- there was a squirrel. The size of a German shepherd. In the soccer field. Just FYI.

Unfortunately, you're in for more of the same.

From what I've seen, the animal ones have the same nervous systems as their non-zombified counterparts, so you know where to aim.

[diamondstorm]

My night was rather long last night; it was almost strange. I'd estimate five to six hours, perhaps?

I traveled alone.

I left the female wings to head to your room, then upstairs to the labratory there, then across the hall to the janitor's closet. I then headed back downstairs to my room in the female wing. I stayed there for awhile, then left to go to the Arts & Crafts room.

Nothing was encountered until the Arts & Crafts room. There were two glowing monsters with seemingly impenetrable skin except in a certain place on their back.



I'll most likely be asking about numbers one and two as well. I'll tell you any information I find.

[human-sponge.livejournal.com]

I'm interested in learning about my false life and also in getting a hold of those discharged patient files, so I'd be up for going with you.

My brother was here. He was discharged a few days ago and came to see me as a visitor yesterday. If you need to know anything else about the disappearance, I guess let me know.

[lighthearted]

About the second incarnation thing, do you mean the way the building changed around way back? Because I know about that.

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Thanks for coming forth, it doesn't seem that many people were around for that long. Is there any time you'd be free to talk about it?

[Usual anon for this bulletin]

[atoyboxworld.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I missed the meeting last night. Something urgent came up.

I don't know if I'll be able to talk to you today, but could you pass along any important information? I'm probably not the only one interested in hearing what was discussed.

[same anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

I plan to be busy today. Perhaps at another time.

We discussed various theories about what's happening. Most people were understandably interested or concerned about visitors. Others were interested in how patients are chosen, and what exactly Landel wants from us. The most interesting thing I learned is listed as #2 above, but now that we all understand each other's goals, it will be easier to help each other by focusing on concrete objectives.

I'm planning on getting to the kitchen and gathering weapons and other fun things. I could bring some back if you'd like, or meet your group on the way back down.

I was awake for how ever long we were talking, and maybe an hour besides. After the meeting, I met up with someone else and got tackled by some kid in the main hallway. Wow, his head was big. I don't think he was a monster though.

Either would work well. Thanks for the effort. I plan on going to the file room tonight, but later today I'll put up a post for people to assemble groups for specific tasks if they're not otherwise obligated. Are you planning on going to the first floor kitchen or the second?

[meitantei.livejournal.com]

I'm new here, but if you would be willing to share some of your findings with a fellow investigative mind, I would be very appreciative.

-Kudou Shinichi

[same anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

Certainly. I'm busy all day today, but if you're free we can meet tomorrow or discuss things on the board.

I assume you've read M.E.'s notes?

I know that Sora offered to answer your questions, but I was also a part of the first incarnation of the Institute, if there's anything I can help with. By the same token, I know people who have disappeared; depending on what questions you have, I may be able to answer them.

As for the other questions... about one and a half hours, I was traveling with one other individual, and we went up to the second-floor kitchen. No monsters that I saw.
