[Private to Edward Nygma]

Very funny. Is there something I need to bribe you with to get this door open?

[Private to Chromie]

Did you talk to Martha yet?

[Public - Audio]

There's someone in my cabin. The door isn't just stuck, or locked, it's being held shut. [Jim sounds uncharacteristically distressed by this. Possibly even a little

I'm talking about the door you're holding shut. If you want me to think you're not behind there then you need to stop twisting the doorknob.

[There's a slight thud on the audio, as if someone's just rammed their shoulder into a door. Jim grunts slightly.]

What's this about? Are you bored again already?

[Private]

[raisedinabox]

It's not broken, you're holding it shut.

[The bit where he accuses Jim of ramming it is the bit where Jim pauses, because he's pretty sure that if Eddie knows he isn't doing that... it counts as a lie...

And Edward doesn't lie.]

Where are you?

[failedcreator]

This is a flood? Many seem affected.

[raisedinabox]

I don't know. Edward seems to think it's just part of the season.

[failedcreator]

Perhaps. But you have to admit, it seems rather strange.

[raisedinabox]

It does. I don't even know if it makes sense to blame this on a flood, it's just... way too weird.

[doctor_j_crane]

Again? It sounds like a magic user has gone of the rails to me.

[raisedinabox]

Maybe. Or it could be some kind of mass hallucination.

[POSSIBLY CAUSED by FEAR GAS. JONATHON.]

[doctor_j_crane]

Caused by a magic user, yes. It could be.

[raisedinabox]

It could be caused by almost anything. A magic user, a timelord, a flood, the admiral, a scientist run amock...

Someone in your room?

Can I come and have a look, even if they've gone?

[raisedinabox]

They didn't take anything, but feel free.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

I'm more interested to see if there's any evidence left behind.

[raisedinabox]

There's nothing that I can see right now, but you can come over and double check if you like.

Private

[strangehstorian]

Yes, I did. She said her concern was not to have you relying on something you wouldn't be able to acquire at home, but, well, you can just take this with you if you need to, it isn't a consumable. Where is your cabin?

Thank you. I'm on Level two, room twelve.
