I think you may be right about that. I also suspect that Alice--the dame in the first video--had those powers too, and that... whatever happened in Hall 5... was her fault, whether accidentally or on purpose. What was that one note, something about being careful because they "don't want another Alice"?

... Hypothetically, of course.

[he notices that in turn, and though he doesn't take very much advantage of it, or mention it, his tone is that much warmer.]

Yeah. But it'll be over soon, and we know nothing bad's going to happen to them.
scanninggaydis: (for you I'd do anything)

[personal profile] scanninggaydis 2013-07-17 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't see Hall 5 at all. Something happened? And yeah, that was the same note as the one about the weapons.

The joint was trashed. All the furniture and fixtures thrown around, blood everywhere. Chalk outlines of bodies on the ground, too. Which may be fake, but it certainly looked like something bad had happened there. There were these programs lying around for an event that Alice was speaking at, and the first video we found showed Alice speaking in a room that looked like that one--but tidier, of course.

So I figure, the scientists were studying telekinesis and they wanted to use it as a weapon. Alice was their first subject, but either she couldn't control it or they couldn't control her, so when she gives her speech in Hall 5, it ends with her wrecking the place--and the unfortunate people in it. So the scientists go looking for new subjects and find Allen and Elise... but that's as far as my speculation goes. I'm still not sure what happened with them. Kinda sounds like Elise was always a little screwy, though.
scanninggaydis: (I'm surprised it got that far)

...I wonder...whoever was writing all the notes says they feel "unsafe" with Elise and MJ working together, and that they think Elise is a punk.

The last piece of the puzzle is who the notes belong to. I'd say it was the second woman in the photograph - "me", except...hm. For that one note that talks about Alice not wanting for an anniversary. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a romantic anniversary, or some other kind. Since Alice seems pretty cozy with MJ in the other photo.

I have...observed it in play, before.

We should play sometime.

Ah... Yes, all right. That does sound like a pleasant pastime.

Well, Elise, Allen, Alice, and MJ are all mentioned by name in the notes, right? So it can't be any of them. I think the second woman in the photograph is probably the most likely. Which, come to think of it, would be easy enough to back up by comparing the handwriting on the photograph label against the notes.

Or we can find other stuff too.

Yay.

It is a board game, not entirely unlike your chess, as far as I can understand the game.

Huh. Sounds neat.
