Kinda sick of this now.

[ And... that's it. That's the post. ]


[ooc | Map is coming! I'm posting this now in case it's needed for IC beacon decisions. ]

[He skipped the survey at first because he doesn't like her.

He still doesn't like her.

...but he trusts @ADMIN even less, and these are useful statistics that he would probably contribute to if they weren't posted by someone annoying.

Tough choice.]

America encountered one on day 52 in the eastern tunnel coming out of the hospital. He was alone at the time.

Then America, Sealand, and I saw one on day 66 near the petrol station.

[spoileralert]

[ Wow, England. Intel is life, bro.

...Then again, that's a very effective method when it comes to Steph, so she's a little impressed. ]

Which of you has the beacon on?

[keepscalm]

[Intel is life but so is spite, okay.]

Sealand. Turned it on a while ago, I believe.

[But in the middle of typing that, recalling when the Beacon app first showed up, he remembers something he tries to keep out of his mind in his waking moments. How unfortunate. But he adds it, regardless.]

He ran into one on his own. I don't know exactly what day, just that he came back on day 27.

[spoileralert]

I think it was 4 or 5 days later that I [ ... ] un-died, so I'm going to guess day 23.

[ She should... probably re-run the numbers or something. But uuuuuugh. ]

[keepscalm]

I suppose I could ask, but I'd rather not dredge up that memory needlessly. Any time between days 23 and 26 is a safe estimate in this case, I imagine.

[In this case...]

video, @hawke

[fictionalised]

[ too long, did not fucking read ]

Mind condensing this to a form that doesn't make the eyes glaze over?

[ Well, it's not like nobody in this stupid town has ever seen her hideously disheveled before. Her nose is a little more crooked than it used to be, though. ]

A bit, yeah.

[fictionalised]

[ Looking....... good......... ]

"A bit, yeah, but I'll do it anyway because you asked so nicely?"

[spoileralert]

[ You try being homeless for 6 months, see if your nose doesn't get broken once or twice. ]

By all means, go ahead. So nice of you to offer.

[fictionalised]

Blah, blah, blah, researcher data-y things. Numbers! Docs and gifs? [ Pronounced like jiff. ] Names and symbols and oh, look! More numbers.

Did I cover everything?

[beanstalk]

[ TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO PROCESS and pretty damn clueless as to what it even means to begin with but he can get the jist of it between 'anomaly' and 'attack'... ]

The 'anomalies' you mentioned, they the monsters I've been hearing about or something else? [ Partially curious. Especially considering the weird ass centipede he encountered his very first night here... ]

[spoileralert]

[ Oh man, did Steph miss new arrivals? She really needs to get back on track with that stuff. ]

Yeah. That's what the Admin called them, so.

[ She feels weird calling them 'monsters' when Frisk says his friends are all monsters. ]

[beanstalk]

[ He's a total greenhorn to this environment. Though he's found himself adjusting quickly. ]

So you followed suit. Great. Good to know I wasn't hallucinating my first day here, then.

[spoileralert]

I wouldn't rule that out entirely. "Hallucinating" is still pretty high on my list of possible explanations.

[beanstalk]

I've seen much worse than a giant centipede trying to mess with my head. Much worse.

I thought I answered this... But, there are two in our group--if you want to call us that. First one of us had the beacon on, then both of us did. After the shadow monsters first appeared, we haven't been bothered by them since.

Is it possible the even number of beacons or even the size of the group might have something to do with it?

Re: Text | @Summoner

[spoileralert]

Did you? Sorry, my notes aren't what they used to be.

It's possible... I don't think we have enough data to say anything for sure, and I'm not sure how exactly to run the numbers if it's based mostly on size. There's probably a way... but I've been staring at numbers for a while now, haha ^^;

[ Wow does she feel like a mess. Maybe she should try to get a full night's sleep at some point. ]

Re: Text | @Summoner

[ninjainviolet]

Not your fault. It just might be a case of me thinking I answered because I wanted to, but hadn't.

But even though the data is small, is there anything you can get out of it? Not right away--like this minute. If you've been doing this for a while, you need a break, Stephanie.

And...I think you can start by telling me what that little symbol is. Please?

[ And that's her plan; relax you enough to get some sleep. Although, she can't really guarantee "good". ]

[spoileralert]

[ Good, because her head is already swimming from trying to keep up with everyone else. She's just so tired all the time these days. ]

It's an emoticon, it's supposed to be a little face. Like :) if you look at it sideways it's a smiley face

[ninjainviolet]

[ Sheena knows the feeling. Except in her case, always achy which sometimes gets worse. ]

An emoticon? A picture of an emotion? [ A moment as she does what Stephanie suggests. ] Oh, hey! I can see it now!

That's pretty interesting! Are there others?

[warriorscribe]

[Because he can totally make perfect sense of this when he's about to go to sleep. He tries anyway.]

So it seems as if larger groups don't attract them at all, quite the opposite. That makes sense, if they are preying on us as animals would. Smaller groups are more vulnerable.

And yet, the largest group drew the largest amount of monsters.

[spoileralert]

It makes sense, if each person brings a 33% chance of being attacked then once you're in a group of three or more it's basically guaranteed.

[warriorscribe]

And yet the most attacks seem to have happened in the smallest groups.

[spoileralert]

There are more small groups than there are big groups.

[warriorscribe]

True. And yet, it wouldn't seem to be so inevitable - I've rarely been without at least two others and went days without seeing one, as you have written there.

I wonder if there's something overlooked here. The largest groups should never be left alone, by this reasoning.
