Every nine-to-eleven days we have new arrivals. The food situation remains stable, but everyone please be aware that our medication stocks for ALL medications are critically low. I had this correspondence with the Admin regarding medication stocks and a means to obtain NIMA certification. She stopped replying to me after a certain point, unfortunately, but per usual.
Day 330, the majority of the population was knocked out and moved to a featureless white room with a pit at the center of it. Our tablets were non-functional, and there was an unnatural influence that seemed to be compelling us to jump into the pit. The room resembled similar ones we've seen when moved underground. It was upward of 21-22⁰C, and the room and the pit itself expanded as time passed. The pit had no bottom that we could identify. Those of us who jumped into the pit or who were pushed against our will by people like the Joker blacked out after falling some undefined distance.
Everyone was returned to the surface a day later, based on the messages from those left aboveground. The people who went into the pit came back with something extra: red marks that have slowly been expanding since the day we returned. The marks don't appear to have a uniform pattern, progression, or location, and they're almost certainly perception-based. Angel noted that they cover some of her existing tattoos and black out where those tattoos are meant to glow.
To anyone new, PLEASE AVOID ANYONE YOU MEET WITH THESE RED MARKS. Past experience has taught us that we may well be divided up into opposing groups against our will based on marks on our body. That may mean that people with red lines could suddenly and inexplicably attack you. Or you may feel compelled to attack them for no reason. If you cannot avoid each other, please take the time to seriously discuss contingency plans to incapacitate each other if needed. Be aware that certain malfunctions can result in individuals becoming seemingly impervious to pain. Please do not count on your ability to hurt someone being enough to stop them. Consider restraints or, if necessary, breaking bones. We'd rather have a few fractures than a few deaths. Please avoid head trauma where possible to reduce the chance of concussion.
Day 332, Joker has issued a blanket threat to kill people in an effort to get to Harley Quinn. The Joker is currently in the Radiation Zone. His last known location was the funeral home (Building 295 on the communal map). Please avoid him at all costs and provide no or false information if you do encounter him and he demands Harley's whereabouts.
Peter noted this day that the red marks were progressing.
On a lighter note, Tess offered her culinary skills and food-fetching. If you are meeting up with Tess, please note whether you have the red marks so that any unfortunate conflicts can be avoided. I would also urge that arrangements with her be made privately to avoid anyone stepping in on that meet-up that you don't want.
Day 334, Peter offered a game to play. Some people are still intereacting over there, so feel free to join in.
Day 337, Dr. House announced the results of some experiments he's undertaken at the power plant. He was able to melt some of the high entropy alloys used to build the buildings here in Norfinbury. He and the others also discussed what the fabric the heat suits in the power plant might be made of to be able to withstand the temperatures in the reactor core. "Micropillars" were discussed, particularly, as a likely explanation for why the suits can shield the wearers from the heat.
Day 338, Castiel noted that he was in the vicinity of the bunker in the southwest corner of Residential Zone 3. He's made inquiries about what he can do to test things here given that we're still waiting on the other pieces of the puzzle to open up the bunker.
Squalo announced that he and his group had found a secret tunnel entrance below Building 295 in the Radiation Zone. So far, none of the efforts to open the door there have been successful.
