A game of clues

[andeatit]

[So far, he had been very, very unsatisfied with his progress. Normally, things worked much more smoothly but being dropped into highly tense situations with people who seemed sure of their own paths hadn't made for a cohesive team. While he still felt they were safer in groups of three, it was time to do some real exploration.

The first thing was first: physically searching for clues. He'd stay in the house of course, as he still felt the surrounding land brought on too much threat of danger for the moment and he wanted more clues, or even a clue, toward the locked door in the laundry room. The bedrooms were his first step, as he wanted to look through the computers for potential clues and try to once more assess how many people had appeared. He would knock before going into each. If there was no answer, he would go inside and begin his searches, starting with the computers to see if any held any unique information. The rooms themselves would also be searched for anything that might hold numbers - he was fairly confident that while it was meant to be a difficult puzzle, it was meant to be solvable. Coming from Bedroom 2, he would move to Bedrooms 5, 4, and 3 before moving onto the Master Bedroom.

From there, he would move onto the middle and opposite sides of the house. The Dining Room, Great Room, Kitchen, Office, and finally the Laundry Rooms would be explored. There was no time for sloth.]

[ooc: basically, Light's looking through the entire house. If you want to avoid him, you can have hijinks ensue and have your character move between rooms while he's looking in other rooms; he also won't find any characters that are outside.]

May I keep yours afterwards?

[andeatit]

We could trade.

[takethecake]

That would be meaningless. They're identical.

[andeatit]

Which is why I'll be keeping my own note and map after.

[takethecake]

Pa~ss. [He says in a drawn out childish tone, hooking his thumb into his lip and dragging it down again and looking as blithely unreasonable as humanly possible.]

[andeatit]

[Light would agree with that assessment.]

Then at least do your part to help us open the laundry door. If we try to open it forcibly, it will cut the power. There are 20 spaces. There are 5 people. I'd like to try the birth year and the year everyone believes they are from.

[takethecake]

Six.

[andeatit]

I assume you mean the other mentioned in the note. Have you met... him? her? The note makes it seem like another species.

[takethecake]

The real culprit was never caught? For the crime you were suspected of.

[andeatit]

Not yet. We were investigating the case.

[takethecake]

What kind of case?

[andeatit]

I'm not here to feed you information. It would help us all to get into the laundry room, so if you'd answer those two questions, I'll leave you to your solitude.

[takethecake]

[Utterly unfazed by the unanswered question.] Which room have you been using the computer from?

[andeatit]

Considering our alliance elsewhere, it pains me to say that I can't trust you enough to say. As far as I know, you're the one behind this.

[takethecake]

I only want to meet where a camera can stream for security. Is that unreasonable?

[andeatit]

Not at all. Both of us would have to walk through the great room to get anywhere else, so that would serve as a good meeting place.

[takethecake]

Then we can discuss what we all know there?

[andeatit]

As long as you're willing to answer some questions as well.

[takethecake]

I should be able to answer the question of what's in that room at any rate.

[andeatit]

You know what's inside the locked room? How?

[takethecake]

I'm a detective.

[andeatit]

Who seems to have been hiding in the closet. Unless you've been working with someone, your only clues have been the note and the intranet. [Both of which Light had searched.]

[takethecake]

That's a reasonable deduction.

[andeatit]

The Great Room then. We'll continue our talk there.

[takethecake]

The time?
