[network] @Spoiler; Event Summary [open] Day 168 Post-event-reveal

[spoileralert]

[ Video ]

Guy- uh, Guy-brush threep-wood? Wow, that's a mouthful.

[ Zach slides in behind her- ] That's what she said! Eh, ehhhh? [ He grins. Steph turns around to make finger-guns at him, then turns back to the camera as though nothing happened. ]

Anyway, Guy found an SD card yesterday morning. Since the video didn't get posted until today, I'm guessing that wasn't the only one out there. The one he found was orange, hot to the touch. Hot enough that I thought it was going to burn our fingers. I'm pretty sure he was running a fever after we uploaded the card, but no other symptoms.

So how many cards were there? Were they all orange? And did anyone else have any weird side effects after using them?

And everyone else - thoughts?

[ Text - Added ICly as the information becomes available ]

Red - Hospital morgue, blood spattered, taste of blood
Orange - House 100, hot to touch, fever
Yellow - Church graveyard, cold to touch, hypothermia
Green - Museum, grass smell, seeing Spring
Blue - Hotel lobby, made of glass?, intensely pale skin
Violet - Police station, made of metal?, tin foil mouth
White - School, eye symbol, no symptoms

Oh oh oh! I found a blue one! It did something really weird! I'm okay now, but I took a selfie.

[She attaches a picture that shows her skin turned so white it's practically translucent, her veins showing through underneath. She looks absolutely like a corpse--but then, she's making a really cute surprised expression for her selfie, so maybe that cuts out a bit of the creep factor.]

Orange and blue are my favorite colors. I wonder if anyone found a pink one!

[spoileralert]

Jesus!

[ Sorry Ginger, that scared the bahoozits out of her. ]

Nothing else, just the, uh, makeover?

Where did you find it?

[lacecase]

In the hotel lobby downtown.

[Sorry for the fright, friend!]

Nothing else! Just like, my screen turned blue? And I was like oh my gosh, oh no, my tablet died! But then it came back and it was fine! And I felt like it was Halloween all of a sudden!

Did you just call me hot?

[spoileralert]

Actually we just insinuated that your name is a penis.

[ JUST FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, OF COURSE. ]

[mightypirate]

Hmmm... Is that really so different?

[swatsflies]

[ He's snickering at the joke, even with the whole topic of the depressing video. ]

We found one in the police station. I'll let Kunsel share that experience.

[ If he's not too busy remembering how things taste without the metal flavor. ]

It was violet though.

[spoileralert]

Violet? Okay, so far they have nothing in common with each other.

[swatsflies]

Man, how many are even out there? Normally it's just the red, blacks, and blue ones, right? [ Maybe at some point there used to be all colors of the rainbow. Or Sam just really likes rainbows. ]

The card I found felt like it was made of metal, and it was a lot heavier than any other SD card I've found. It's gone now, or I'd show you.

Made me feel like I was biting tin foil the rest of the day.

[spoileralert]

[ That one makes her shudder too. ]

Yuck, I've done that before. And this was the purple one, right?

[deus_ex_phs]

Right.

...should I ask why you've got that kind of experience?

We found one in the museum when we went back for supplies. I didn't think to take a picture because I didn't think that it would disappear like that...

In any case, it was green in color. Had a smell kind of like trampled grass or torn leaves. Definitely a plant smell. When used with the tablet, the screen became green for a short time, before the device turned itself off and then on again.

After that, I started to see things that my companions assured me were not there. Flowers and grasses, sunshine. It seemed like the tunnels were overgrown with living plants. No one else seems to have seen anything.

[spoileralert]

Yeah, I know the feeling. [ She definitely wouldn't have let Guy use the card if she'd known it would do something weird to him. ]

It looked the same, but overgrown? Not like it was the past, but maybe summer?

[imgonnatouchit]

Not like the past, no... At least I don't think so. I highly doubt this place was ever covered in plants following whatever disaster leveled it. It looked more like spring, or summer, yes. As if things were simply growing out of the walls and floors of the building here.

It wasn't unpleasant, but I did nearly all into a hole.

You mean one of those plastic squares?

[ He holds up his thumb and index finger in the nearest approximation of a square that is possible with two fingers. His hand is shaking because you know what does not look good on Jack Sparrow? Alcohol withdrawal does not look good on Jack Sparrow. Why was there no rum.

The only reason he hasn't broken into a sweat is because it's so bloody cold all the time. ]

Aye, I found one. Weren't orange, though.

[spoileralert]

[ Ha ha poor captain, he looks awful. But she saw him all about rum, so she had an idea what's wrong with him. ]

Yeah, those. Phi is working on a guide about them.

What did it look like?

[pistolproof]

White. Had an eye on it. [ He makes a circle with his index finger and thumb, putting it up to his own eye for emphasis before. ]

Put it in me ... [ He pauses, looking decidedly uncertain before picking a word and moving on with life. ] ... device and [ He waves his hand vaguely towards the tablet. ] that video started playing.

@LELRIC; audio

[armoured]

I found one too, Steph!

[He sounds a strange mix of disgusted and excited.]

It was in the hospital morgue, red and covered in splattered blood. It made me taste blood too.

[spoileralert]

Blood? Yeuch. How old was the blood spatter, and what did it look like?

audio; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

Looks like someone has a colorful sense of humor.

[ Look at the rainbow of SD cards. Seriously. Look at it.

You know. And how incredibly screwed up this all is. At least... At least Kunsel didn't get the worst of it. But that doesn't really make him feel any better knowing other people have suffered these symptoms.. ]

[spoileralert]

"Colorful" is definitely the word for it. Some of the symptoms make sense for the color scheme, but some of them are just weird. Like, why is purple metal?
