>"Okay, but, seriously, what would 'going to check on them' look like? What direction would we start walking?"

> Sam: Have you told them what happened to Grey? Should you all check up on him?

>Sam: Have you told them what happened to Grey? Should you all check up on him?



Well, that's the idea, but now they're squabbling.

"If we just wait around for them and they never show up, what then?!"
"Girls, please--"
"I don't even want to wait around! I just want to get out of here!"



"Ugh, shut up! I'LL go if it bothers you that badly!"
"You guys go down the hall to the black door at the end and MAYBE I'll be back later with--"



"No, I'm going!"
"Wha--"
"If it makes you guys happy so badly, I'll go! I'll be fast."

>Okay, but, seriously, what would 'going to check on them' look like? What direction would we start walking?



"What on earth..."

You don't know! "Up," you suppose. Find every door with some sort of circle symbol and yell into it? If there's a response, then someone's inside. Bam! Perfect plan.

"Wait!"



"I'm going with you."

>Quin: Tactfully explain that this is the opposite of what you want.

> Just go already! You don't care who follows you!!

>Quin: Tactfully explain that this is the opposite of what you want




>Just go already! You don't care who follows you!!



"Fine."





"Welp. Follow me then."
"But what about--"
"Nope! Tired of waiting. They're going to just have to meet us down there."



"But what if the upper floors collapse around them?!"
"They know the risk. But they left anyway. It's their problem."

>Percy: Sam's being callous, but you can't leave him alone.

>Percy: Sam's being callous, but you can't leave him alone.



Ugh, you hate to admit it, but it's true. You also don't like the alarming pace at which he's heading towards that door. You'll have to be his keeper for now.

-we cant
-keep doing this
-forever
-you know

> Helen: "Well, we'd like to help, but... If Mr. Stone himself isn't in a state to even talk to us, there's not a whole lot we can do! Maybe Dr. Grey can, though..."

>Good point! How about let us go?

Well presumably everyone will wake up eventually. So..

"Then stop with the mind games. Let's end this."

>Good point! How about let us go?



-haha no



"Why. Why?! All y-y-you've been doing is chasing us around!"
"You c-can't possibly be getting anything o-out of this!"
-oh but
-antagonizing is all i know
-grade school middle school high school college work
-doesnt matter where
-bullying cheating stealing conning
-being as unlikable as possible while putting on airs
-its just my neverending routine!



"N-no it's not! P-p-people tell themselves they'll never change s-s-so they don't have a reason t-to TRY to change!"
-hmmmmm
-sounds like youre speaking from experience
"Cherry, don't humor him..."

>Helen: "Well, we'd like to help, but... If Mr. Stone himself isn't in a state to even talk to us, there's not a whole lot we can do! Maybe Dr. Grey can, though..."



"We need to focus on getting out of here!"
"But how?!"



"This pl-place is a maze we c-c-can hardly see!"
-heheheheh

I'd say "look for a lightswitch", but if it were that easy, the story would've ended pages and pages ago.

>Reverse psychology! Make him think you don't want to be let go!

Helen: Why not sit here and listen? After all, he seems reluctant to let you go and he's got a lot of things to say.

>Reverse psychology! Make him think you don't want to be let go!



Like that would stop him! He's going to keep talking no matter what!

"Look..."

>Helen: Why not sit here and listen? After all, he seems reluctant to let you go and he's got a lot of things to say.



"Please...whatever you have to say...just say it?"
-heh
-moving here and getting a girlfriend was pretty good
-ditching all traces of the old family
-sort of
-as much as possible
-at least



-im tired!
-just because i never killed anyone doesnt mean im not following dear old dads footsteps
-heheheh
-you know
-temptation is too much to resist
-im getting older
-im tired and its too late
-might as well just surrender and place myself in jail



"But that's not right! You came here to get help, just like we all did! Right?"
-right
-and the first thing he did when he remembered it was all fake
-was try to ruin it for everyone else



-nothing ever changes





"What is this?"

>Quin: "What's it LOOK like?"

> Get to the other side of the door- but don't leave yet, keep listening. You still have places to be, but you're okay for now.

> Stay. Listen.

> Ava: Wait, it's that guy who tried to kill Sam!

>Helen: Tell Ava to calm down.
>Quin: Try to stop Ava, fail miserably.
>Ava: Charge ahead, you've got a lot to say to this guy and he's gonna listen to you and--What the heck?



>Ava: Get captured in a jail of shadows.

> Punch that guy's face in the face

>Ava: Wait, it's that guy who tried to kill Sam!



"Who cares? Hey! Guys! There was an announcement!"
"Wait a second, what?! What's HE doing here? He fell off of the building!!"
"What?"
-ha ha look at that
"Get away from him! He's dangerous!"

>Helen: Tell Ava to calm down.



"Uh...but...what's this about an announcement, exactly?"
"Dr. Grey wants us all in the basement! We're leaving this place!"
"Yeah, over the intercom, didn't you hear it? C'mon!"



"No...?"
"Helen!"
"Look, let's just get out of here!!"
"How did we miss the..."

>Stay. Listen.



-heheheh
-whoopsie
-the room is soundproof

I'm sensing a theme, here.

> Well, door's open. Let's get out of here while we still can.

> You too, Lou. Been stuck in your own head long enough, yeah?

ffffffffthe shadows ARE the rooms

>

>Quin: There wouldn't happen to still be a door behind you, would there?

Helen: Extend a hand to Louis. He too needs to be able to leave this place.
