"That was... mediocre." Diego muttered, commenting on how poorly the last area played out for him. He had been talking to himself lately. It made sense though- there wasn't anyone to convince of his sincerity- they all had solid doubts, that could not and would never be alleviated. With nothing to say to others, he couldn't help but speak with himself.
"Damn, damn, I am really running out of options... It might not even be worth it to try the god trick again...tsk." He really was worried, and wasn't going to hide it from himself. Still, he had to make the best of what he had, because it was the only way he'd succeed- that's what he always did, and it always worked. He would not accept his philosophy failing him now.
He looked around. He was in a medium sized room, filled with screens and chairs. The screens displayed various locations, but only from a distance- this room only surveyed the general area. Diego had no idea what a television was, but he was intelligent enough to understand their purpose. He smirked at how convenient his placement was. It almost seemed like he was placed according to his wishes, or what was best for him. Was there some sort of system to placing the contestants, he wondered, or was he just being favored?
Looking at the screens, he scanned for any movement that would allow him to find the presence of others, but quickly realized the futility of this, as the screens all updated periodically, at the same time, making the set of screens a slow slideshow. Begrudgingly, Diego began focusing on four screens at a time, looking for motion. It was fairly boring and slow. He had the inclination the extend his ears around again, but did not want to confuse himself with sound and no visuals. Listening for presences near him would be all for now. Staring at the screen was, unfortunately, the best option.
As he shifted his attentions from screen to screen, he came across a single one which distracted him. It was a dark picture, which, by the positioning of the screens, was located inside of the employee section. While all the other screens were lit enough to see well, this one was the sole dark one. Diego stared at it, forgetting his intentions momentarily. In the picture, while it wasn't clear, was a humanoid shape, it seemed. At least, the fact that it had four limbs was mostly visible. However, the scale of the shape seemed off. The cameras were all roughly ten or so meters away from their targets. comparing the shape to a picture of a door on the next screen, the shape was roughly three times the size of a human. Was it a figurine, some sort of sculpture? It seemed that way, because it wasn't movin- Diego jumped as the screen updated. There was a slight light source on the figure, revealing it's compact, wired torso. Still, upon focusing, it didn't seem like it had moved... He watched for a few more screen updates, and then resumed his search, fairly certain that it wouldn't move.
