[This is getting.. a lot mushier than it should be.]

C'mon. Aren't you mine? You couldn't be lame if you tried.

[averytinyparticle]

[That's debatable.]

Good joke.

[But he grins.]

Anyway, did you have anything you wanted to ask? About Norfinbury or anything else? I'll try and answer everything I can.

[fiftheclipse]

[That's a good change of topic.]

Yeah!

You've been here over 300 days, now? So I bet you know a lot.

[So... Where should he even start?

... "Start"... That's the problem itself. He's missed so much. So...]

I kinda get where we're at now. I think.

That area by the highschool, where I woke up, it's only been around for.. two months? Well, "open", I guess. The town's probably not just putting itself together and expecting us to wait around for it. So I don't think we'll ever reach the center, either, unless we do something. And that something's probably gotta happen over there.

But how does that stuff work?

I don't know where everyone started back at.. "Day 1", let's call it. You came in pretty close to then, right? How did you guys find new parts of town?

[averytinyparticle]

Right. I woke up on day 13.

[He pulls out his tablet and brings up House's map. It'll help explain with a visual.]

If I'm remembering correctly, they got the ice tunnels open first. That was through this building here, but I don't remember how they got it unlocked. Then after that, they got downtown through the post office. That was locked by a cypher that needed to be decrypted. Someone found the key hidden in one of the houses, then consulted the network to help solve it.

[He points at each house as it's applicable, then waits and glances back up at Junpei, making sure he's keeping up.]

[fiftheclipse]

[He offers a nod when Quark looks to him.]

So, if it's all through buildings, we're looking for locked doors.

[That's definitely familiar.]

Do you know of any?

[averytinyparticle]

There are three that I know of right now. There's one in this area, building 68--that was why I made a bomb. We haven't been able to figure out how to get into it--and then two in the newest residential area that was found, over here.

[He goes from indicating the building marked 68 to the chapel and bunker.]

I haven't been there myself, so I'm not totally sure if that's still accurate. Just what I've heard being talked about.

[fiftheclipse]

[... The bomb didn't work...? That's a tough door. Still, if the other two are so far away, 68 seems like the right one to focus on.]

It seems weird that it's right there on its own. The others look like they could lead into something, you know? But that's just...

[There has to be a solution nearby, right..?]

That spot next to it. It's labelled as a grave. Has anyone checked if there's something hidden there? Like maybe where you'd put flowers. There could've been some other kind of offering, buried under the snow.
