Afterparty 4: Finding Home Meeting is Now in Session

[breakingthrough]

[Although she had wanted to do it from the start-- in Eruna's honor-- Edna enlists Recette and Zack's help in preparing for yet another meeting for the group.

The message instructed everyone to meet at the restaurant. It also told them to leave their phones behind.

There was no telling if they were being monitored that way after all.

There is a difference in Edna, when they all gather for the meeting. Edna now has Eruna's guitar strapped around her, the orange instrument set against her back. It also appears at though anything even remotely resembling a screen or potential listening device has been thoroughly smashed. It... might have been a stove or an oven before. W h o o p s.

...wonder who did that.

Nonetheless-- Edna, Recette, and Zack are all there waiting when people start arriving.]

[crossingout]

If they open something else, what exactly do you think they open?

[breakingthrough]

Maybe they open up a different location entirely.

It was easy to tie them to the other rooms in the hotel, but have we seen any other locked areas in the town? It seems unlikely, but it's possible there's something else they could go to.

[crossingout]

Maybe...

There's that door in the back of the dollhouse, isn't there? But it looks like the thing that opens it is egg shaped rather than key shaped.

[breakingthrough]

Egg shaped... maybe we should look for something like that while we're at it. At this point, if anything is locked... big or small, we have to find a way to open it.

[crossingout]

Well, the phones are egg shaped, for one.

[Besides eggs being egg shaped.]

[breakingthrough]

But I don't think any of our phones would be able to unlock something like...

[Edna blinks.]

...what about Joshua's phone? Do you think maybe it could have gotten in there? He was working with M after all...

[crossingout]

Did anybody take his phone before he... died? Or maybe it's on his body at the morgue?

[breakingthrough]

I don't think so. We should check the morgue later. I want to try it as soon as possible. If we wait, she may change the lock somehow now that he's gone.

[crossingout]

We can do that, then.

[buylowsellhigh]

Maybe we should do it now? Or do you think his body's not there yet?

[Pause.]

If it's not... do you think we could wait for it? I mean... how do they get there in the first place?

[crossingout]

We could do it now. And if his body's not there, we'll check again tomorrow.

[And she shrugs at the other question.]

Maybe they carry it, maybe it's magic.

[buylowsellhigh]

Right! Let's go check now then!

[Pause.]

Though uh... I... don't think I'll be searching his body.

[She's only corpse touched once and that was traumatic enough thank you very much.]

[crossingout]

I don't mind doing it if someone has to.

[zackthekiller]

Hey! Wait up!

[Zack wants to touch corpses too!]
