[Entrance Exam] Week One

[lockdownmods]

It would seem that it will be... some time before you're released. Two weeks. That may sound like forever, in this situation. But you aren't left with nothing to do. The Administrator has been kind enough to update the Tasks application on your tablet. There are also now several different tasks that you can accept. Who knows... you might get something good out of it. It's worth checking out at least. There are also several other new applications you can toy with, too.

And you won't go hungry. The staff is here to prepare meals three times a day. Breakfast is served from 6AM-8AM, lunch from 11PM-1PM, and dinner from 5PM-7PM. You'd best make sure you're in the cafeteria in time for those meals, because they won't be waiting around all day for you. They have lives, too. Unfortunately, you won't really be able to ask them about any of that. The serving area is separated by a glass wall, through which they serve you. Even if you try asking-- it would seem they have been told not to answer.

The rest... well. You may just have to see for yourself. At least you're not alone.

[ > USER: VIVIENNE. ATTEMPT #1.

Congratulations! Nobody died.

...Well. At least not yet. It doesn't seem like you're done here, because after a few moments, the screen completely changes...to a puzzle. There's also some text beneath the puzzle that reads:

ENTER 4-DIGIT PASSWORD: _ _ _ _
HINT: FOUR CORNERS
15 MINUTES UNTIL RESET

Good luck. ]

[covertizer]

[ Welp. ]

Is anyone here really good with puzzles?

[escardos]

[ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

The professor would be good at this but...[ shrug ] Four corners of what? Of the world? Or-- oh, wait, what about the room?! Check the four corners of the room?

[covertizer]

I think everything we need is on the screen.

[ He taps the glass, and drags his finger along the rows. ] Do we have to make these add up?





... Although if you find more noodles in the corners of the room, definitely grab those.

[itwasfeyt]

Oh yeah, definitely.

[All the more noods the better.]

Maybe we have to subtract? And what's with those numbers in rows all by themselves?

[coagmentatio]

[ He's great with math, but he's literally never seen a puzzle like this. So... he's just going to squint at it for now.......? ]

[lockdownmods]

[ As Akira drags his finger along the rows, everyone in the vicinity will hear something...odd.

"...Hello...?"

It's faint, and it echoes throughout the room. ]

[escardos]

[ WOAH THAT TAKES FLAT BY SURPRISE ]

Hello?! Who is this?

[lockdownmods]

[ The voice you heard earlier sounded like it belonged to a young woman. But...

There's brief, momentary silence, then suddenly: ]

Holy fuck.

[ That...definitely didn't sound like a woman's voice at all. ] Holy fucking ▒▒!! We did it!

[escardos]

[ ?????????? it's a group of people? ]

Wait, who are you guys? What did you do?

[starswink]

[THAT'S CREEPY.]

Is this puzzle haunted!?

[escardos]

I was totally joking about the ghost thing yesterday but wow! This is awesome!

[lockdownmods]

[ The female voice comes back! ]

Haunted? No, okay, wait--who are we talking to right now?

[itwasfeyt]

Eek! A ghost!

[Just gonna duck behind the person closest to her]

[lockdownmods]

What? Where? ...is ▒▒ talking about us? Wait, you understand what I'm saying, right?

[coagmentatio]

[ HE'S INTERNALLY SCREAMING but this is fine. He'll just... reach back and pat her... head??? ]

[covertizer]

[ Akira snatches his hand back in surprise. ]

Uh...

...

Hello?

[lockdownmods]

Dude...dude.

Hi.

PINGING MODS

[escardos]

[ he stares at it for a couple seconds and then--! ]

I got it!

[ he'll just input the following numbers from how they appear on the corners, clockwise

3227 ]

[covertizer]

[ Whoa. Look at Flat go. ]

[lockdownmods]

> INCORRECT.

[covertizer]

[ Hm. ]

Did you key them in the right order?

MOD PING

[niugen]

[ Nine's been quiet in the back, but after watching the first try he'll push his way to the front to input his own guess. ]

3-2-7-2

[lockdownmods]

> INCORRECT.

[itwasfeyt]

Don't give up! It's just a penalty!
