Good morning
[11:52 A.M.] Reanna
good morning
sleep tight?
i trust the bedbugs didn’t bite?
[11:55 A.M.] The Unknown Sender
I would trust that a facility of such high technical caliber doesn’t have bedbug infestations
But yes, I slept well. No bites
[11:56 A.M.] Reanna
good soup
oh hey you know how i broke that taylor swift cd yesterday?
with the couch? and the saucepan? and the birdcage?
[11:57 A.M.] The Unknown Sender
I remember
[11:57 A.M.] Reanna
well it got replaced overnight!
im so happy
these overlords seem to have a watchful eye over everything that happens
you havent spotted any hidden cameras around have you?
[12:00 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Not so far
I imagine whatever tech they use to brighten the rooms without any visible lights can also be implemented to hide cameras
[12:01 P.M.] Reanna
thats true actually
didnt think about that
do you think its why their so adamant you dont break the walls?
ALERT: ANY ATTEMPT TO FORCIBLY BREAK OUT OF YOUR ROOMS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. FAILURE TO ABIDE WILL MEAN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION FROM THE GAME.
[12:01 P.M.] Reanna
you know, like that
[12:02 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
One could reasonably assume
[12:08 P.M.] Reanna
so are there any plans for today?
[12:10 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I've had some ideas
150 days can easily slip past us, so I intend to make the most of every day I have here
[12:10 P.M.] Reanna
i mean not all of us are making it the whole 150 days
[12:12 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I have my doubts about the authenticity of this so-called elimination process
[12:12 P.M.] Reanna
how do you mean?
[12:17 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
It's just instinct for now. The game's opening message from the system was very carefully vague and open to interpretation.There are any number of ways it can be twisted in the future. For example, it said that after elimination the player would get their memories back, but it didn't detail anything that happens afterwards. It doesn’t specify if we’re free after that point.
I just can't trust the process until I've seen it
[12:19 P.M.] Reanna
you mean until someones eliminated?
yeah i guess we wont know until we know, thats certainly true
oh yeah and weve got these cameras on our phones too
have you tried screwing around with that
[12:20 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I'm unsure how much "screwing around" can be done. It is just a camera
[12:20 P.M.] Reanna
but we can do photo tours of our places
[12:20 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I would rather not do that
[12:21 P.M.] Reanna
pfffft whatever
ill find someone who does then
[12:24 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Godspeed

[12:49 P.M.] UNKNOWN SENDER
Hiya! The name's Celyn Sheppard, but you can just call me Sheppard. She/her and everything. Nice to meet you in this bizarre extravaganza we're stuck in
[1:00 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Oh, bizarre abso-fuckin-lutely. Still wrapping my head around it all on the second day! Call me Donald, neighbor to all by circumstance. It's a pleasure to meet ya.
[1:01 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Hiya Donald! Pleasure is all mine, clearly. Having one of those days, are we?
[1:04 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Yea, you know how it is, waking up in some apartment you can’t escape with no idea how you got there. At first I thought I was just hungover or tripping on some shit, but nope, there’s really no doors and the damn walls are glowing!
[1:04 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Damn, felt for real. It’s sure a crazy fuckin situation. Have you browsed the news out in the real world lately and wondered how this place got such advanced technology?
[1:09 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I haven’t! That’s an interesting point you raise. I’m just sayin, we don’t know for sure whether this place is some kind of government experiment or not. Or aliens! Be honest, did that alert message yesterday morning sound like it was written by humans?
[1:10 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Well, I would certainly like to believe that it was. Haven’t seen any aliens on TV yet, besides the ones in District 9.
[1:11 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
LOL. Yeah, s'pose I only know as much as anybody here. Met any interesting folks since we've been here?
[1:11 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Oh, it's quite the tapestry in this club we've got
Of course, I can't just introduce myself to all 145 of them, I'm trying to cultivate a sort of close circle of pals that I can hopefully carry on through the game until my [Time Comes]
Or maybe by some miracle I survive to the finale. Anything can happen!
[1:14 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Totally! I can't imagine how stressing its gonna be as that one dude going five whole months worrying every night he might get eliminated ??
[1:17 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Oh god I didn't even think about that, being one of those survivors at the end of the game has got to be like the most PTSD experience ever
Surviving that many eliminations and praying all the time that you aren't randomly picked off
Ngl I might have a panic attack on the day the eliminations start??
[1:20 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
LOL well in that case, pray that the band-aid gets ripped off quickly, cause for sure it'll take some nerves of fuckin steel to last through this whole thing
[1:21 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
I'm sure you will do just fine then, Donald! You've certainly got the right attitude
[1:21 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
We'll see ??
It's only day 2, mind you
[1:29 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Aaaah, man
Well, as long as we all have fun??
Let's try not to lose our sanity too quickly
[1:31 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
There's the spirit!

Oh by the way, completely random change of subject, have you by chance gotten a visit by some dude saying he's the music collector?
[1:35 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
The what? Whosit whatsit?
[1:36 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
I don't even know, it's some weird guy who just DMed me and two other of my contacts to ask for lists of all the albums that we have
[1:38 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Ah. I suppose that that's… an interesting experiment
Can't say I've encountered this fella, though
[1:38 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
It feels like some federal agent is collecting dirt on us??
We don't even know this guy's name
[1:49 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Oh boy, you know that as a redneck I ain't one to play around with federal agents
[1:49 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Oh christ I hope this guy isn't an agent for his own good
[1:50 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
If any fucks out there try to datafarm me, they'll learn firsthand that I can stir up shit like it's tomato soup, and will dump it down their throats just the same
[1:51 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Uhhh, is this a bad time to mention that I work for the FBI?
KIDDING NO I'M KIDDING
[1:53 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Don't worry, I wouldn't be so numbskulled to think a young nice lady like yourself would be spying on me
Unless you are. Then I'll break your neck.
[1:55 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
I'll relay that message to the music collector person if they come my direction again
[1:56 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Good on you. We'll do well to keep this place in check
[1:56 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
And I for one would hate to be waterboarded with tomato soup
Yeah, you can be like our security guard for any shady folks that come around!
It'll be a bit weird over text, but we can do something
[1:59 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
We're just building out our own little world here
Gotta blaze through the months somehow
[2:01 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Yeah! We're just bringing a little color into the system to keep our bearings in order, k'ynow
Holy shit how did I mispell y'know like that
[2:04 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Happens to the best of us. Spellcheck can't always be there to save us
Well, it's been great getting to meet you Miss Sheppard!
We'll check in along the road
[2:05 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Sure will, Donny
Does it matter if I call you Donny?
[2:08 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Don, Donny, Donald, Ronny, whatever you want, it's all the same to me ??
[2:08 P.M.] Celyn Sheppard
Great! Cya then, Donster!
The Unknown Sender[133-743-2123], Damarae[133-306-5075]
[1:26 P.M.] Damarae
Omgod dude this guy just texted me how much do I have to scream to linkin park songs before somebody calls the police ??
[1:40 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
HAHAHAHA
I can't believe people are losing their minds this quickly
[1:40 P.M.] Damarae
You don't even know dude
It's CRAZY out there
The game masters here pulled like some of the weirdest fucking people off the face of the planet
I literally don't know where these guys come from
[1:41 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Girl this literally feels like the worst college dormitory of all time texting each other
There’s like one normal person I’ve met all day??
[1:42 P.M.] Damarae
That’s SO TRUE
I refuse to believe everybody here isn’t just a bunch of insane college students
I sure hope they don’t discover alcohol too??
[1:49 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
DUUUUDE getting drunk texted by those people would be an absolute NIGHTMARE
[1:52 P.M.] Damarae
OH PLEASE DON’T PUT THAT THOUGHT IN ANYONES HEAD
Oh my god and I didn’t even tell you what I saw happen this morning!
[1:53 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
WHAT HAPPENED? SPILL!!!!!
[1:53 P.M.] Damarae
Okay so it was in that group chat I made yesterday, the one where we trolled that poor guy Samuel
[1:54 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Oh no
[1:54 P.M.] Damarae
Oh YEAH
They’re always yelling about something crazy
And just when I thought it couldn’t get ANY WORSE from the chaos of yesterday
Hang on I need to read it over again it’s SO funny
[1:55 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
ACK!
[1:57 P.M.] Damarae
So this Charlie guy had woken up and was working on a crossword he found on his table
And we were all like
Where the frick did this guy get a crossword from? None of US got one overnight
[1:57 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
A CROSSWORD?
Like from a newspaper!?
Is there some stash I’m missing somewhere??!
[1:58 P.M.] Damarae
I DON’T KNOW! NO ONE DOES! I ASKED LIKE 4 OTHER PEOPLE AND NOBODY ELSE HAS ONE!
And Josiah was so jealous of it that he started threatening Charlie
Despite you know not being able to leave his room
And he said he was looking for his SCISSORS so he cut CUT UP the crossword because Charlie didn’t deserve it
[1:58 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
OOOF
Ngl i would be jealous too
[1:58 P.M.] Damarae
But Josiah can’t find his scissors!
So Charlie’s like “I eated them”
That’s exactly how he said it
[1:59 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
“EATED” HAHAHHA
[1:59 P.M.] Damarae
IT GETS BETTER
So we’re all talking about Josiah’s scissors now
But Charlie ate them
So ROSE, out of NOWHERE, SHE JUST SAYS TO CHARLIE
“Shit them out”
And IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT EVEN BLINKING, CHARLIE GOES “No, I will retain my shit”
[2:00 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
OH MY GODDDD
WHAT???
[2:00 P.M.] Damarae
AND THEN
AND THEN KEANU COMES BACK
And he used bad word but I’ll substitute it
HE SAID LIKE
“Wtf is going on I can’t leave for five minutes without coming back to some *stupid* shit”
AND JOSIAH IS LIKE
“My bowels got down syndrome, when I take a deuce they call it *stupid* shit”
WITH THE 100 AND FIRE EMOJIS
I NORMALLY DONT LAUGH AT STUFF LIKE THAT BUT IT JUST CAME TOGETHER SO FUNNY
[2:00 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
HHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA
OH LORD I’M GOING TO HELL FOR LAUGHING AT THAT
[2:01 P.M.] Damarae
IT’S SO BAD!!!
AND THEN ITS JUST LIKE 20 MINUTES OF EVERYONE SHITTING OUT THE SCISSORS INTO EACH OTHER LIKE ITS THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE AND LIKE
I THINK ROSE CALLED IT “SHITCEPTION”
WHICH IS THE FUNNIEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD
[2:01 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
SHITCEPTION OMGGGGGGGGGG

The Unknown Sender[133-743-2123], Rohan[133-378-3077]
[3:42 P.M.] Rohan
hey weaver
whats good
[3:48 P.M.] Rohan
Answer me cunt
[3:50 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
Forgive me but I’m preoccupied
[3:52 P.M.] Rohan
What could possibly be preoccupying you
What interesting fucking thing did you find that’s taking so much of your focus
[3:55 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I’m performing an experiment
[3:55 P.M.] Rohan
uh hu? ya? An “experiement”?”””
Fuck you
tell me what youre doing
[3:59 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I hope you can understand the importance of not disclosing the specifics of this experiment in a closed environment where information can fly fast to all corners
[3:59 P.M.] Rohan
Are you fucking joking right now
scrape my crusty balls with a toothbrush
what kind of fucking fbi shit are you talking about
[4:07 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
It’s nothing that serious. I just need to keep some information limited from circulation for the sake of playing the game right. I’m sure you understand as well as I do that we can only look out for ourselves in this game. I am just trying to keep hold of all my cards.
[4:09 P.M.] Rohan
what the fuck are you cooking right now
what is on your grill
[4:11 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I’m only grilling an early victory plan. Until more game information comes out, of course.
[4:12 P.M.] Rohan
whatever man
at least you sound like youre figuring shit out
[4:14 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I’m trying to. The hosts haven’t given us a lot to work with strategically.
[4:14 P.M.] Rohan
no shit
if this is some game show its the worst fucking one anyone ever came up with
[4:14 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
This feels more prisoner’s dilemma
[4:15 P.M.] Rohan
the fuck is that
[4:16 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
You’ll find out
[4:19 P.M.] Rohan
You cryptic motherfucker
what, am i still not trustworthy to you
[4:20 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I’m just playing the game, Rohan
[4:29 P.M.] Rohan
you know you seem like a smart guy
i have something of my own experiment going with a few friends this morning
trying to strategize and stick together through the game
it’s very exclusive so you cant just join right away
But maybe one day if your loyal enough ill add you and you can help us win the game
[4:33 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
So it’s like an alliance? That sounds like an interesting idea. I didn’t think of that
[4:34 P.M.] Rohan
Well i did think of that bozo. shitstain. that’s why im leader of the pack
I’m gonna be in charge of this game before you know it
[4:37 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
We’ll see, I guess, barring the random eliminations.
[4:38 P.M.] Rohan
you will see. you may even get to be a follower if you prove yourself.
[4:40 P.M.] The Unknown Sender
I will do my best
[4:41 P.M.] Rohan
fuck you
