CAR WASH

AT THE CAR WASH, WOAH

The door leading into the car wash is locked. You all know that, of course. You've likely tried it yourself, or watched someone make a fool out of themselves trying to break in. (Man, this is going to age poorly if you've all decided to surprise us and just leave the locked door alone.)

But today... well, call it a feeling. A gut instinct, maybe, that leads you to the doorway. This time, you put your hand on the doorknob - and it turns fully, the door swinging open so that you can enter. As you draw your hand back, you'll spot a bloody handprint on the knob - but then you blink, and it's gone.

The inside of the car wash is rather industrial looking, albeit mostly powered down. The lights are dim to begin with, and flicker ominously from time to time; occasionally, they even go out entirely, and it may be several minutes or several hours before they come back on. None of the machinery seems to be working, though there's a faint electronic hum coming from a shelf built into the wall, upon which a radio sits. Strangely, no matter how tall you are or how you conspire to stack things up and climb up to get it, it always seems to be just out of reach - there won't be any changing the channel for you.

It's hard to tell what you're meant to do here, now that you've gotten in. But since you couldn't get in until now, there must be some reason... right?

...only time will tell.

And the right thing is a certain way of murdering people?

Do we know what all of us have in common in terms of how people died?

[youcanreplytothiscomment]

Not all of us even killed people at all. But everybody who did the right thing is someone who made it in here.

[reconnective]

Then I'm even more confused than I was before...wait, okay, who didn't kill someone that's here?

[coinoperation]

[ raises a hand! ]

[reconnective]

[just...squinting a little.]

Why do I get the feeling I shouldn't believe that...?

[coinoperation]

I could not begin to answer! Thy feelings are thine own.

[reconnective]

Okay, well "thy feelings" tell me that we all should maybe be as honest as we can here and help each other out, because if that's the message we got it could be the thing we need to understand so we can all leave.

Unless you'd rather stay dead...? [look, he doesn't know his life. also that's not how you use "thy" but he cares not.]

[coinoperation]

"My."

[reconnective]

Okay. "My" feelings say that we need to be as honest as we can and help each other out, because if that's the message we got it could be the thing we need to understand so we can all leave.

Is that better?

[coinoperation]

It was.

[reconnective]

[he sort of just tilts his head a little.]

You ever think that this is why people keep killing you...?

[coinoperation]

No.

[reconnective]

Okay then.

[youcanreplytothiscomment]

I kind of believe him. He wasn't here before he came back to life. It's the same as you, Sora.

[reconnective]

So...is it possible I didn't murder someone?

[maybe it's just a zombie thing??]

[youcanreplytothiscomment]

[She nods.]

Unless you're murdering people to come back to life? Like how Riku ran over someone with a car or Jester was poisoned and Shamspeare came back? But that doesn't explain you.

[reconnective]

[he's just humming another one bites the dust again before he frowns and shakes his head.]

I wish I remembered. Sorry, Nott.
