[network/shadownet] @Spoiler; DREAM INFODUMP [open] Evening 124
[ Video ]
[ Steph waves, a tired smile on her lips. People keep dying, but we carry on. ]
Hey guys. So, I've been doing some math in my spare time - which is pretty much all the time. Anyway, the last day I remember being in Gotham was the 16th of December, 2015, which was a Wednesday. So according to my internal clock, today's Monday. Figures, right?
Today is supposed to be January 14th, year who-even-really-knows. But by my calendar, it's April 18th. Which means in 19 days it'll be May 7th, which is my birthday! Which is apparently now February 2nd, thank you time travel.
[ She shrugs. ]
That's probably not how it works, but I'm totally willing to cheat to make it to my 18th birthday.
So in way more immediately significant news, I went through everything on the network about the dream stuff that happened a few days ago. Here's the summary.

What We Learned In Dreams - the Cliffnotes version
Characters:
Motifs:
Summary:
There is something under the town, something massive and terrible. It ate the previous residents, and will eat us given the chance. It is the only thing that knows the session number (?). It is trapped, and wishes to be freed. It may be the subject of the warning, "Every day the ice gets thicker. Every day it gets closer." This Horrorterror is in charge of the town - @ADMIN is an aspect of the thing or its collective. It can be killed - this may or may not be necessary. It is not the one that wants us to "dig deep".
NIMA (Nanomachine Injector MAchine) is responsible for healing injuries and reviving the dead. It does this using nanomachines in our blood which create waste, resulting in MN poisoning. The symptoms of MN poisoning include depression, mania, pain, etc. There is a cure, but it may not be accessible with the town in the state it's in. MN poisoning is the reason @ADMIN terminated the previous sessions.
The anomalies that we have been dealing with were inside of the previous residents. The previous residents are not the current anomalies. There are anomalies inside of us, too - we are not, nor will we become anomalies.
Shelley Derricks is with the Horrorterror, though she doesn't know why - likely this is related to her and others having been 'eaten'. Residents claim that they are not ghosts.
We have a limited amount of time, NIMA and food. We have used about half of our time, meaning that we have a total of around 240 days. Today was day 124. Escape is the only way to survive, but we can leave the same way we came.
We need to dig deep, keep moving and get to the center of the town. In order to do this we should find spirals, make a spiral, find keys, open doors. We have been advised to get to the other side of the wall, that the town is a spiral and we are in a corner of it.
We may have missed something in the clues and information we already have. The town has rules, and there should be a path. We shouldn't need to use force - like a metal puzzle game. The route may be hidden by a landmark or a locked door.

We need to test this. Thoughts?

Nineteen days until your birthday, huh?
Maybe we could all hang out around then.
We could grab strawberries and cream :)

Would offer the amaretto but it's almost gone. Zack wants to help us finish it off.
