Interesting how white is asleep, but the rest are unconscious.
What's our goal here, Crow?

Our objective is to help other people accomplish their objectives without giving away our objective while other people also probably don't want to share objectives.
Our alternate goal is to kill everyone except one person with an easy objective.

...Uh. Okay.
So why are we in this room?

Iunno. I was curious what the other challenge rooms were like.

Cursory examination of the other challenge rooms, see if anyone's slacking off.

Next you decide to go to the Challenge Room of the Stomach. As you go, you check the timer.
21:18
You'll need to allow for about 12 minutes to get back.
Naturally, the walls are decorated with delightful depictions of digestion and other grisly images. There's a bowl of unpleasant looking slop, a virtual reality headset, a single boxing glove next to manacles, and bowl of bubbling acid with a hook on a pole chained to it. Judging by the size, one would still have to dip part of their hand in it in order to fish anything out.
Looking more closely, 'Call yourself' is written on the side. Around the tub, are three phone numbers on plaques with hooks.
You have an advantage here, being resistant to acid.
You jump into the tub, and see, along with thirteen other plaques, a small switch. Getting closer, the words "...Your powers are known, ..." are visible.
It's not glowing, so it hasn't been flipped yet.
Do you flip it?

You flick the switch, and feel as though information has been added to the menu. Role | Power | True Power | Deep Power | Win condition | ??? | Able to make decisions on behalf of group in night action. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to switch where passageways lead between rooms of the same ring in night action. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to sense where people are if they are being injured. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to give skills to others once per day. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to use the inherent abilities of dead people. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to amplify own voice and perceives glowing footprints of contestants that fade over time. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to interrogate any CORE contestant in night action, also able to give detained electric shocks and jail them. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to record and send messages to any contestant number. Also able to stop sound escaping own helmet. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | At day 5, is able to unionise fate with any contestant.
| ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Can see skills and whether someone has fulfilled their objective. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to traverse facility freely during own phase on Day 0. Able to continue surviving if any contestant dies during this time. Able to kill any contestant by making a connection between any of the three categories: name, role, and number. Every result is broadcast through the speakers. Every ten days, contestant is given guesses equal to the percentage intactness of initial victim's corpse (rounded down.) Also has an invisible skillslot. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to escape 3 escape rooms without doing puzzle. This does not complete the puzzle, and therefore the puzzle will not count towards success points. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Able to see entire facility and broadcast messages to screens at will. Forced to elaborate on certain rules when questioned, and to deliver messages upon CORE contestants fulfilling certain milestones. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Starts with an extra thousand, can see bank totals, and transfer own money to others. | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Starts with five open skillslots. | ??? | ??? | ??? |
This information could be useful. Very useful. However, it might also help the Betrayer. Do you attempt to memorise the information and then turn the switch off?

I guess we should switch it off for now and just keep it in memory. We seem to have a good memory.

You flick the switch off again, and feel the mental table disappear. You then hurry back to the Challenge Room of Scent, and then head down the chest to your own room.
It takes about five minutes of lying on your bed to sleep. You stare pointedly away from the Alias Mask. You don't need a crazy moose dream in your life.

Your indistinct dreams about a sitcom you used to watch but didn't remember watching until now flicker into lucidity. Everything seems distorted as if you were underwater, and the indirectness of the entire experience reveals it to be something other than reality.
There is a body, far below. They are wearing a jumpsuit and helmet, like yours, but very much distinct. The design is distinctly lovecraftian, and the colours on their suit slowly change, with sudden changes every so often.
Let me wake up.
There is no voice, but words that inject themselves directly into your mental narrative.
Help me. It is becoming difficult to differentiate the voice from the narrative, I was left behind, am I alive? Thoughts and message blend together where in am an I indecipherable tell jumble me, and Mongoose, the please! itwordshurtsaresonomuchlongerIdistinctwasfromreadyeventootherdiewords.I'mYetsorryforIsomedidn'treasonmeanyoutokeepkillonthem!readingIevenjustthoughwantedmosttopeoplegetwouldoutprobablynothaveevenalreadytogivenliveup.anymore.

Day 2
It's a brand new day. You're suddenly fully awake. You look at the back of your hand:
'23:59:54'
What do you do?

Track down May and give her a hug. Ask if the binder was too hard on her last night.

You leave your room and go to the CORE hall. Mu, Twomato, May and Limelight are already there.
You approach May and give her a quick hug, asking if the Binder was too hard on her last night. She is rather nonplussed.
"What are you talking about?" she asks you, clearly uncomfortable with the hug. Your hugging addiction is really going to get you into trouble one of these days. "If you're talking about being jailed, that wasn't me, that was Four!"
What do you do?

Pretend that didn't happen and that someone hadn't messed up a detail and go check on four instead.

You socially disentangle yourself, and go over to Foursight's utility door. There's still a black screen, and it's still unlocked.
What do you do?
