You are likely to be eaten by a grue

[Kaz]

You sit down and open the notebook. It seems to be a diary. Not a very safe thing to keep a diary in...this "Jennifer" must not have had anything better to write in. Most of the entires seem meaningless...tidbits of her personal life as far back as about a year ago. You flip the pages until you're almost to the last page, when something catches your eye. An entry from yesterday.

Dear Diary,

I don't know why they're still keeping us here. They keep telling us that the grues have all gone...so why are we still locked in here? I can't see how anyone profits from this. And we can't survive forever, what with our limited food supply...

And just what the hell is a grue anyway? I never saw any of these supposed monsters...I've heard of them, but I thought they were just part of a fairytale. I hadn't heard of any victims or anything like that before they hauled us off to this shelter.

I don't understand what's going on here. Nobody does. And we haven't seen the mayor since he first holed himself up in his office, so nobody's been able to find out anything about what's going on...those soldiers won't tell us anything.

I'm scared, Diary.

There are no entries after this one...

You feel that this entry is very important, and you begin to wonder yourself what's going on here. You put the notebook in your backpack, as it may pay to have some paper, and that entry might be worth looking at again.

You walk over to the fish on the counter and take the knife, cleaning it off first and then wielding it as a new weapon. You also place a slice of the fish in a little sandwich bag you found in one of the drawers in the counter. It may not be suitable for eating, but it may come in handy as grue bait. You put it in your backpack.

You shine the flashlight on the ceiling. It's...uh, a ceiling. Nothing interesting stuck up there or anything. The fan is still moving slowly...it must have been on high until the power went off.

You decide to press onward, wielding your knife in one hand and the flashlight in the other. You slowly push open the big double-doors and step into a new hallway, this one much nicer-looking. You shine the flashlight around and notice that there's several doors in this hallway. You check all the handles...and most of them are locked. But there's one near the end that isn't. It reads "Residence B211."

You enter the room and your eyes are immediately assaulted by something you didn't want to see. A woman hangs from a noose attached to a very large hook that seemed hastily drilled into the ceiling. She's naked and bruised all over.

Catching your breath after the initial fright of seeing the woman, you sit down on a chair and put your head in your hands. Thoughts rush through your head...what the hell is going on here? Why would she kill herself instead of trying to survive until the grues had left?

Notebook, knife.

It's obviously Bluaki's notebook about how he wishes to be female, by the way.

:D
Examine the rest of the room, look for a note, and check her pockets.
UNLESS SHE'S NAKED.

She is naked. I already said she is.

The first floor of the shelter churns heavy breaths from my mouth? Waaaa

I'm not even going to bother.

My point is that sentence is ambiguous; you should bother, sweety.

I know it is. I just don't feel like fixing it.

You might create confusion in your reader, sir.

I should really learn to read one of these days.

This girl is the one in the diary, isn't it?
look around for clues. There might be something useful.
Keep the knife in hand. Maybe she killed herself before the grues decided to have her for a snack.

Then why haven't the grues eaten her yet?
Also, what if this girl Jennifer killed the person in the office or whatever? HM?!

[sonicdude164]

Are there any other doors that aren't locked that we haven't been through already?

[Jono2]

thats because there are no grues, btw.

uhh, search the room, is her hair done up?  check the floor for more hairpins, the washroom for small metal objects to use as lockpicks.

look at the back of the door you just opened.  are there windows?  look out the windows.  move the furniture around, check for secret passages, check the map to see where to go next.

Okay, so my post just erased itself somehow, and I'm not going to write all of that again, so let me just summarize the findings here:

There are no hairpins or anything else useful to be found in the room. The girl's hair is straight and not done up with hairpins.You search the room for anything...and don't find anything until you realize the floor under a small rug creaks unnaturally. You discover a trapdoor under the rug. You open it and can't see anything inside, so it must be a rather long drop...and there's no ladder.

Will you chance dropping down inside?

Are there any other doors that aren't locked that we haven't been through already?

Just the trapdoor right next to you and the door inside the boiler room that we can't get to anymore (because the boiler room door is locked).

inventory check

We can drop something worthless down there to see how far the drop is.

[Jono2]

shine the flashlight down there before dropping anything, duh.
