A New Friend (?)

[foundationnpcs]

[It is well into the evening on Sunday by the time a strange message pops up on everyone's tablets. It's from an unknown sender, with only a little skull icon to identify himself by.

And this new person has quite a bit to say.]

Well I'm not really sure what the fuck just happened, but that dog bastard is gone so I'm going to assume it went well. Good job, it only took you three weeks to finally make some progress here.

Not that I'm blaming most of you for the complete failures of the previous weeks, all the adults who are supposed to be wrangling the rest of you are too busy wrangling each other's dicks. I expected the love-dodecagon smoochfest from the teenagers, but I expected better of the rest of you. Seriously, priorities? Have you heard of them before?

Anyway, I'm sure you have questions, and I'm in a good mood tonight since you finally got something done. So ask away. I'll be around, until you get too annoying.

It sounds like he’s still responsible. But that all of this is because of his mistakes.

[She’s starting to be convinced of this more and more. The more she sees of the Outsider and the more she sees of everything around him.]

Cinque... Doppelling said that you’ve been talking to the monsters. Can you confirm that?

[resortghosts]

He won't take responsibility for it, though. We'll have to make him.

... I have been. I've suspected, ever since we found that note, that the monsters are not our true enemies.

Except maybe the Barghest, it was a total fuckwad.

[latebluemer]

I think we all feel that way about the Barghest.

[Worst dog ever, let us hope that we can raise its puppy right. And that with it gone there will be no more pup murder cameos.]

Do you know why the monsters are killing us, though? Is it all part of the game?

[resortghosts]

Yes, based on what the Doppelganger and the Jorogumo have told me.

[latebluemer]

All right. So that means we need to somehow get the Outsider to listen to us, make sure we’re on the same page with the Jorogumo and the Doppelganger, and then... is there anything else? Though the first part might take us another three weeks.

[It’s progress, even if she’s frustrated, because she has a feeling more people will have to die if all of this is true and the Outsider is just a stubborn stowaway.]

[resortghosts]

Find out who is responsible for this stupid Mafia game in the first place.

But yes, that is the long and the short of it, Miss Aoi.

[latebluemer]

So this game isn’t created by the Resort as another immune response...?

[resortghosts]

It could be... but why make the Guests fight one another?

[latebluemer]

Maybe, because all of us are kind of... the same as the Outsider, it just identified all of us as threats too? I'm not sure. I think we might need to look harder in the Resort for more information.
