Is everyone alright?

Stay together. I'm sure we've all noticed that teleportation is a fucking thing. Don't let it separate you.

Has anyone found out anything helpful?

This is what we've got.

Stay together and watch out for each other.

I don't know how helpful it is, but Levi found a butterfly pinned to the wall behind one of the portraits in the sauna. And I found one of those puzzle boxes too, but it needs a five digit code instead of four. It says: "SHe ReMiNDS THiS TeaCHeR oF HiMSeLF. i See iT Too."

That's a bullshit clue. How are you supposed to know which teacher that is? Other than going with the obvious Elmasry.

Why do you think Mr. Elmasry is the obvious choice? Just thinking about the male teachers with five-letter names, there's: Thorn, Karim, Oakes, and Nayan. I haven't found a cipher that works for any of those yet, though.

[...]

Jaime thought it might be Mr. Elmasry too. That the clue might be referring to Addy.

Because anon is obsessed with Elmasry. Elmasry is the only teacher young enough for anon to have any kind of personal feelings about.

I think your clue's about Addy, but did you find it? If this is all geared toward us specifically, it makes sense that your clue would be for Diego, doesn't it?

Cecil and Addy are also close, I don't see why it shouldn't apply.

Because that implies that it's not geared to us specifically. There's more of us out here looking, than there are that are taken. So either big brother is throwing clues deliberately at us as a group, or at each of us specifically. I'm just trying to narrow that method down a little.

I'm just fucking spitballing

If we're discussing who these boxes are intended for, it's just as reasonable to give Cecil a clue pertaining to Addy as one to Diego. Even though we woke up gifted with certain people's belongings, it's not as though we've been designated specific people to find.

What if we are designated specific people to find? What if us failing to find those specific people means those people die? That's a fuck ton of accountability to put on teenagers. Do I look like a fucking power ranger?

Don't fucking say that.

I just feel like we're going too slow. I can physically feel time disappearing. What if we don't save everyone how the fuck am I supposed to explain to my mother that Ryan died because we saved everybody else first

I mean, we're obviously going to find Sy.

Obviously I'm going to try every possible permutation of numbers on this box and find Sy. And every other fucking person on that chalkboard.

You don't fuck with my our people.

We've been sent to God-knows-where to find our friends under the threat of them becoming literal wormfood. The culprit doesn't seem to care about 'accountability.'

I only woke up with Ty's sweater, but I'm ~~fucking~~ going to look for whoever I can. Just because I didn't have anything of Jesse's or Addy's doesn't mean I'm not going to try.

Let's hope they don't decide to actually force us to make that choice.

[...]

I'm gonna try to save Ty or Avery or Ramirez or fucking apparently half the sophomore class too. But I woke up with Ryan's wand. Just kinda hoping his life doesn't actually depend on me, so I don't have the potential to fuck it up.

I don't agree with the way you're approaching this because I don't find value in talking about whether or not we're those who decide between life or death, but as long as we're both looking that's all that matters right now.

I'm glad we've reached the point in our relationship where we can freely state when we disagree with each other's behavior.

[...] To be fair, disagreeing has never been an issue. It's the agreeing to disagree, because you're so often wrong.

I don't agree with the way you approach me being right all the time, Quinn.

Don't take this the wrong way because I do love our banter, but [...] I have more pressing matters to attend to.

It relaxes. I feel better.

I don't think we can assume that all of the clues work the same way. Some might be aimed at particular people (like Tess' seems to be) and some might not. We don't have enough information to know. All we can do is focus on the clues in front of us.

at least 1x anon told someone "you remind me of him" or some shit & then said "karim karim karim" so thats a legit direction there

whatd the butterfly look like?

The wings are bright blue with black along the edges. [...] I've got it in a protection orb and I'm bringing it with us. Just in case.

Does that mean anything to you?

mostly sounds like it aint poisonous so you could eat it if you got hard up

butterflies show up in myths a bit dont they

[...] I'll keep that in mind.

Some cultures associate butterflies with the soul or with rebirth. But I don't know if there's any significance to that. When I saw it, though, it felt [...] familiar in a way I can't quite place. I just wish I knew why.
