Ingame
You are inside a classroom of Pridmore Way School, a high school. Every wall has shelves built to the ceiling, every surface a book on it. Both make narrow walking corridors of the classroom floor space. Lamps hung from the ceiling make buzzing noises as they sectionally light the room. Also here is Ross (55HP).
Somebody has written the library has no organizational structure onto the door, to borrow or lend is theft or generosity onto a shelf, and answers are administered to questions irregularly onto the floor. Many are signed as the management, some crossed-out, others not.
- You say, "Better to hang back, observe. Could we radio them?" Perhaps this group could connect with that group, and both would be safely out of each other's reach, for the immediate moment, if one group antagonizes the other. To go out and around, at a distance, and get new angles on the other group, is another option. They would certainly see anyone leave here, however. They may become agitated by this movement, and alter their regular observation of Pridmore. You suppose they could be doing more than just observing, and agitating them could be the right thing to do.
Or you could stand on the rooftop of Pridmore, hold up a whiteboard (it is a school) and marker in a message. Then assume they have binoculars, can read what your whiteboard says, and have a way to write messages large enough to read with binoculars from over here. You tell Ross about this plan.
Since your last turn:
- • 28.63 MHz: *static* (2 minutes ago)
- • Ross says "We'd have to guess their frequency, assuming they have radios." (1 minute ago)
- • Ross says "Way back, many years ago, people would scan through radio frequencies in the hopes they would find one that would elicit a response." (1 minute ago)
- • Ross says "It stopped because the frequencies became too quiet. It was unresponsive." (52 seconds ago)
- • Ross says "I suppose it's worth trying, anyways. You could bring it up later." (40 seconds ago)
- • The lights buzz and oscillate in brightness. (27 seconds ago)
- • Ross says "We should give your whiteboard idea a try. It would be interesting to know whether they reciprocate." (25 seconds ago)
- • Ross says "At some point we need to leave, though. We can't stay here, since there's no food storage. We can't wait or observe perpetually." (10 seconds ago)
Possible actions:
- "How is everyone doing?" "Are you certain Sam is coming back?" "Why is Doug sick?" "What's your opinion on Volker?" "Why are the lights flickering? Who's on the radio?" "What's your opinion on Pridmore?" "What kind of place is Latrobe, exactly?" "Why are there so few dead around?" "How did the world get like this?" "I'm done asking questions."
Inventory:
- You carry a knife; a journal and a notebook; a bloodied radio and a flare gun. You have a shotgun (2), a pistol (12) and three spare magazines inside your vest pouches. You are wearing a tactical vest, blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of shoes.
