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.

I see.

They're not. And I don't say that due to a 'conclusion I've come to'.

But as you seem so very set in what you've come to believe....

As I said, I can only conclude based on evidence, and it's quite possible there's evidence I haven't found yet that would contradict and change my findings. I'm open to other possibilities. Why do you believe they're not?

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't 'believe', I know.

I've been here longer than any other patient left in this place. I was here before even the doctors they parade us in front of, and before we even knew the name of our little-seen captor. I've gathered a great deal of information about this place in that time.

But I don't give it away for free.

How do I know that your information's reliable?

Tell me something that can be substantiated by more than just your word, and maybe we can work something out.

[a_sin_for_him]

Because a great deal of it came from the doctors themselves. Before they...disappeared and idiots were brought in to replace them. Oddly enough, that happened the very day after that one fool broke his silence. I doubt that was a coincidence.

It was simple enough to validate what I had learned after that.

Work what out? That's not how bartering works. You know what I have to trade. What do you have?

[same anon anon]

[cnflctofintrst.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'm intrigued.

As for trade, I'd need to know what you're interested in. Most of what I possess is chemical or medical supplies.

[a_sin_for_him]

I'm not interested in any of those things. I have more than enough of my own supplies - with plenty left over to spare.

What are you interested in, then?
