Connection with Nylon

CONNECTING...

...Finally. It's only been almost a month...

• Detective Faux (me) - "Howdy there, pleasure to meet you~"
  • We are the Convalescent, but I'm sure you already know that if you've been waiting for us this long.
  • Quickly before we begin, we'd like to make sure that you know that we are all mostly blind.
  • That being the case, we'd humbly ask that if you mean to 'show' us anything, that you describe it to us as best as you can.
  • Now... If I may ask, what is your name?
  • You also say you've been waiting a month for this now hmm.? "

I know who you are. It's Nylon,,
I've. been waiting to hear from you again. I didn't kill Andrew. I accidentally shot someone else. 2, 3, 4, 10. I basically set off the sacrifices and ended them, too. That definitely isn't weighing on my conscience...

• me - "Ah yes, Greetings again~
  • Though, I will say I am surprised you're still using your cover name
  • So you killed Jennifer, Valentine, and Angelica to start, and accidentally killed Delilah?
  • Hard to believe it was only by accident for that if you admit to all the others..
  • And what exactly do you mean by "set them off"? As in, confirm their sacrifice numeral or what?"

Delilah was an accident. It was meant to be Andrew.
I mean, Lorelai hadn't killed anyone for a while besides her first victim. Her... No, no, not her only victim... Not even her first. Melanie. Lorelai had killed Melanie. And a few months went by. And, and I *knew* I had to do something to get it all over with- So, I killed Jennifer... and then Angelica, and- Alex was an accident too, he got too close- He followed me! I didn't know what else I could do. I knew he'd come back, he did it last time and the time before that and..

I just want all of it to end! I'm not trying to win, not again, I just... I want us to be able to be free, I want to live a happy life, and that can't happen if this game keeps going. I'm trying to end it.

• almarane (alm) - "Okay Nylon. If you really want this game to end, you'll have to be straight with us.
  • No stretching the truth, no hiding, just straight up facts.
  • We can be in this together, but for that we have to make sure we can trust you, so no lies.
  • Are you sure Lorelai is the one who killed the first sacrifice ?
  • Have you seen her do it with your own eyes, or do you have a recording, or any solid proof it was her ?"

I have. I have, it's on Lily's channel, and- Lorelai FRUSTRATES me. To no fucking end, because where was she last time? She wasn't here, and now she just shows up and starts fucking Olive out of nowhere! And Olive's just OKAY moving in with this CREEPY RANDOM PERSON after like, 2 months of knowing them! Is she stupid? I love her with all my heart, but is she genuinely fucking braindead? 
"Oh yeah, this person just showed up in the nick of time as we're running out of the creepy murder woods and says she was stalking my tumblr blog! I should give her head!"
ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH??? WHAT IS YOUR GENUINE PROBLEM?
And, even just disregarding ALL OF THAT, Lorelai's existence confuses me because it's like she completely replaced someone! No one fucking remembers Oleander, but YEAH NO EVERYONE KNOWS LORELAI. SURE. YEAH. THAT MAKES SENSE.

I'm. trying EVERYTHING in my power to protect Olive and she just throws ALL OF THAT out the window because ooohhhh lorelai is cute :pleading_face: it's so fucking frustrating and makes me want to just fucking kill myself oh my god.

• me - "I'm so sorry Zoey, I know it must be shitty. I'd be upset if my friend did that shit to me too.
  • I'm surprised we didn't pick up that piece sooner though, didn't realize Melanie was the cameraman for that shoot with Lorelai.
  • Speaking of Lorelai, is she still alive? We suspect that she may have been eliminated at some point.
  • As well as the topic of Oleander, we don't have much info on them as well, but we'd like to know more.
  • What can you say about them?
  • And, you say you've won a round! That's news to us, certainly.
  • If I may, what exactly do you recall about the previous round you won? Why the name Nylon too? Any personal significance? "

I don't know if she is.
He was a moon piece, I remember that for sure... He was young, maybe Cassidy's age. He, Sarah, and Alex were close... as close as Alex and Sarah can be, I guess.
It was bad. It showed me sides of people I didn't want to see.
That is my name.

• alm - "We know your real name, "Nylon". I told you to not lie! We need to be able to trust you ! *sigh*
  • Okay, let's change topic, then. And be truthful this time !
  • Do you know if someone attacked Raine Evans, or one of the game masters recently ?"

I don't.

• me - "Alright well, regardless, you should at least know this.
  • We found out that Whoever player 007 was this round has been Eliminated.
  • We'd like to try and confirm who exactly that was, but it's still not super clear to some here.
  • If you have information on that, please share.
  • But anyway, lets change subject after that.
  • I want to know more about your time on Anemoia Solution's forum, or if you've ever been on there "Nylon".
  • Was there anything you discovered there if you have?
  • Why the motive for wanting to kill Andrew too?
  • I know you wanted to speed things up, but was there any particular reason He was so important to be number 10?
  • How did it come to be that Delilah was only accidental?
  • And wouldn't Allison also be worried Andrew too?"

I don't know. A headless corpse was found in a cemetery a while ago. Might be them. The cops haven't released the identity yet.
I met Andrew on the forums. I saw how dangerous he is by talking to other forum members. I can't have someone like that walking around and ruining our chances at freedom.
I saw someone with dark hair and light clothes, and I shot.
Allison does not care.

• alm - "Okay Zoey, you are really not being cooperative here.
  • We can't do much if you keep being this vague.
  • Why even try to contact us so badly if you're not gonna answer any of our questions ?
  • We're your best bet at making all this shit stop.
  • So start talking, because so far your attitude doesn't make sense and we're losing precious time - time we could use to protect your dear Olive.
  • So. What did you want to tell us, and how did you manage to force a connection ?"

I didn't force the connection. I've been waiting for it to happen. I came here to talk about what *I* want to talk about. Not answer *your* questions.

So. Let's talk about what I want to talk about.
Andrew is still alive. That's danger. God knows what Lorelai's doing. That's danger. Anything to do with Spiderlily is danger. What are you going to do about this when I'm killed.

These are all factors that can and will keep the game going for more rounds.

• me - "Alright, fine.
  • If this is the game you'd like to play, then sure, we'll go with it.
  • What do you want to know from us.
  • We don't know many other moon pieces other than Valentine and Sarah.
  • Is there something only we could help you with specifically?"

You enter into people's dreams, yeah?
One of the rules is that one person cannot kill more than five people within a span of two months.
When I get to my limit, and you will know when, I want you to influence Sarah to kill up until the limit, and then herself. Lily, Lorelai, and Olive are off limits. If you make her kill them, I will find a way to fuck you sideways with a woodchipper.

• me - "Well, we can't promise we'll actually be able to connect to Sarah in the first place.
  • Connections are seemingly at the digression of Raine.
  • However, we will keep this all in mind if we do connect with them.
  • Though I don't know how they will feel about wanting to literally off themselves.
  • I'm sure we'll think of a way. Is there anything you can tell us about Sarah to help us be more 'convincing'?
  • And regarding Lorelai, why save her for later if you hate her so much? Is it some kind of revenge?"

She will do it if given the opportunity.
She will do anything to escape.
I know this from experience. Trust me. I still get nervous around roofs.
Sarah is obsessed with Alex. She's unhappy without him. She hates Yves. Her mind is flimsy and her entire nervous system is slowly being overtaken by Spiderlily's influence. She acts on impulse and pure desire. If you can make her think something will get her out of her situation, she will do it. You don't even have to try that hard.

She's a hopeless romantic who's being tortured and used as a puppet by one of the oldest gods known to man due to a broken promise that her playground crush will make out with her sloppy style in the moonlight while skinny dipping.
You can manipulate her super easy even without Mr. Moon's influence.

• me - "Noted. Thanks for the tip.
  • Mind going into detail what you mean about that roof situation?
  • and we understand why not for Olive, but Lily and Lorelai?
  • Not that we have a reason to target them, but why avoid them? You didn't answer earlier, especially for Lorelai."

I won't. It's not important right now.

I suspect one of them may be 000. Don't know which one.

• alm - "Ya know. The more I think about it, the more your current plan seems shaky at best.
  • If Sarah is that easy to influence, as you said, she might attack Olive or the others and we won't be able to do much 'bout it.
  • Even worse if someone else gets to her before we have a chance to connect ;
  • we don't really control to who and when we get connected.
  • Tho, ya got a lot of intel on what's going on out there.
  • We could try and think of some other plan together ? Maybe you got extra info that could help us think about it ?"

Then make sure she knows they're off limits. Convince her that they are integral to her escape.
We can make a backup plan. Sure. How do you think we should go about this? If we make Sarah kill people, her first target will likely be Yves. She will not kill me. No matter how much Spiderlily tries to make her, she will find a way to resist. Same with Alex.

• alm - "Alright, we'll tell Sarah to not touch them.
  • So I guess having her kill Zoey is cool with you ? You don't care about her, right ?
  • We're trying to find other ideas that don't involve getting people killed, though.
  • Some of us think if we get to complete the game's goal without having to play the game, it could work.
  • Others think we should make the gods bored so they stop bothering y'all. What's your opinion on either of these solutions ?"

Her killing Zoey is part of the plan and expected.
The goal of the game can only be achieved by playing the game, from what I've seen. If they get bored, they will make entertainment with us by force.

• alm - "How come Zoey must die ? That would make Olive very sad. And I thought you wanted to protect Olive."

I never said must. I said it is expected.
Every casualty will upset Olive. Her being upset and her being safe are two different things.

• alm - "Fair... Then before that I need to confirm two things. First, is Nylon your real, actual name ? Second, what is your relation to Zoey ?"

Nylon is my name. I know her.

• lazier_than_most (lazy) - "Alright we will consider your plan
  • but is there anyone else that might connect that will be useful just in case we have no access to Sarah?
  • Is there anybody else that might be useful to your plan or we need to convince to do something?
  • As much as I wanna be optimistic we need to account for as many possibilities."

Alex. Pass the message onto him. He and I have the same goal. Sarah will do anything to even just breathe the same air he does.

• alm - "Okay. We'll consider your plan.
  • We still need to think and check different things before making a final decision, so don't act yet.
  • But we'll keep your plan in mind. To tell you our choice, we will go with codewords on the Zoey's World blog.
  • If we comment "Nylon", then we agree with your plan.
  • If we comment "Sulfuric acid" instead, then we disagree.
  • As a mnemotechnic, sulfuric acid dissolves nylon, so if nylon is your plan, sulfuric acid is the opposite of your plan"

Sounds good to me.

Anything else before I wake up? We've talked about all I wanted to.

• me - "Yes, one final thing..
  • What's up with the local church?
  • We've heard some interesting things about it, but we wanted to ask you since you're our only shot for getting a view of the scene.
  • We know there's, at minimum, two basements to the church.
  • We know of the library, but do you know what's further down, or what exactly?
  • I don't know if you've gotten the chance to look yet, but we suspect something strange may be going on there.
  • Especially with the victims of Adrianne and Faith."

The church is run by Adam Bright -- don't even know if that's his real last name, Adrianne always hesitated when saying her last name in school -- and Rudolf Valencia.
It's sketchy. On the surface, it's your completely normal southern church. What type of church exactly still evades me, some deviation of Catholicism or Christianity though. I believe they run their own therapy program as well... they actually own the only mental hospital in Sparks. It's on the same property.
Raine's therapy is a bit more popular among the youth.
Adrianne and Faith were kind. I liked them both a lot. It's a shame what happened to them, but the game has to end somehow.
I don't know what's under the first basement. The first one is a library and community center used for Sunday School. Underneath, I'm unsure. There was always a staff only sign on the door to the stairs going down.

• nerdyganii (nerd) - "What can you tell us about Rudolph Valencia?"

He's like 50 years old and always wears a different tie every day. Thinks it's fun and quirky. Would be on literally anyone else. 
Everyone knows he beat the shit out of his daughter. Open secret, everyone knows. I wonder if she spent her last moments in pain or if she was grateful she'd never have to see him again.
There's rumors about him worshipping demons but I'm unsure of how truthful that is. He's a sketchy guy though.

• nerd - "Glad to know how surprisingly impartial you are to her deaths.
  • We had more questions about the games, more specifically the members and the rules.
  • Who’s Molly and who’s Angelica? How many rules are there?
  • What do you know is happening to Lily?
  • Do you know one of the gamemasters named Sathariel?
  • How do you know who the other gamemasters are? Are you able to tell us which piece you are?
  • And what do you mean about “your limit” when referring to your plan?"

Angelica is a nobody. She was a bully who was friends with Melanie. I don't care about her.
Molly... She's odd. She'd always hang around Adrianne and Faith, despite being the farthest thing from a church girl. I'm sure the three of them had something going on, but I can't say for certain. She'd often attend raves and local punk shows, but something that always struck me as odd is that one time I saw her wearing a *very* familiar mask. One that looks almost exactly like Raine's.
I haven't heard from Lily in months. No one has.
That one sounds new.
I remember from last time.
I am.
My limit refers to the rule in which one player can only kill 5 people in the span of 2 months.

• nerd - "I’m guessing the enigmatic “I am” means you won’t tell us what piece you are? I don’t understand why you’re so distrusting of us. We can’t hurt you even if we wanted to."

But you can. You don't understand this, seemingly, but you have full autonomy on what you can say to people.
People who are being mentally destroyed by this game, people who are unwell and impressionable because of it.
You say one wrong thing to someone, and I'm dead. You say one wrong thing to someone, and Lily's dead. There goes a source of info. You say one wrong thing to someone, and Olive's dead. Another source gone. You say one wrong thing to someone, and 000's dead. The game is lost and another round will happen due to your negligence.
You need to be careful. You need to understand that your words and actions all have consequences, whether you like it or not.

• nerd - "That’s a good point, but we can only make good actions if we’re informed enough to know what’s going on.
  • Knowing your piece could help us make the right decision later on
  • But whatever, my last question. What do you think happened to Oleander
  • Actually, I think we can exchange information.
  • We can tell you who Sathariel is, and you can tell us who you are, how you remember the previous rounds, and what piece you are"

I don't know what happened to him. I have no theories that would work.
I'm fine not knowing who Sathariel is.

• nerd - "I think knowing who it is could change a lot for you.
  • Probably more important than us knowing who your name is.
  • Besides, if it’s so easy for us to accidentally kill people, wouldn’t it be advantageous to tell us who you are so we’re more careful around you?
  • And we have a vague idea about what happened to Oleander, but it’s confusing. Most things about this game are confusing."

That's exactly why I don't want to tell you. You could just as easily go to someone and tell them to kill me. You could make a convincing argument with what you know about me. As much as it's dangerous for me to keep my identity from you, it's much more dangerous to tell you.

• nerd - "If you don't want to tell us your identity, then whatever, but it'll bite you in the ass later.
  • If you can't tell us your identity, can you tell us more about some other people?
  • We specifically want to know more about Jessica Kokovin and Lynn Atten if you're familiar with either name.
  • Also, did you ever talk to Raine on the Anemoia Forums? What can you tell us about Anemoia anyway?"

Jennifer Kokovin was related to Lynn Atten. A sister, I believe. Atten was the family name, but Jennifer married someone when she lived in Russia. They divorced before she moved to America with Lynn. Lynn went missing a few months after.
I can't recall speaking with Raine on the forums.

• nerd - "I'm only telling you this because of our mutual distain for Andrew Orion, but he did it.
  • He took Lynn and did something to her. We don't know what happened.
  • She's somehow made of mold now, we don't know what he did, but he's a monster.
  • She's lost somewhere, no legs so she can't move. We don't know where she is"

Well, yeah. Everyone knows he's involved.

• nerd - "She's on a forum now, When They Cry Positivity, she goes under Satoko
  • if you really want to help people, you should help her.
  • Whatever Orion did to her, it was probably a fate worse than death
  • She probably doesn't even know about what happened to Jennifer"

One issue.
I can't. She's unaffected by all this, and it's impossible to leave Sparks. The unaffected can come and go as they please, hence why Andrew has been showing up, however we cannot leave. I've tried. It never works. She went missing outside of Sparks. So I can't get to her.

• nerd - "Shit, that's a dead end then.
  • In any case, if you want to know just how deep the Orion rabbithole goes, try and get in contact with her.
  • Whatever you know about Andrew Orion, he's far worse.
  • I believe Olive saw him once, or what's left of him"

Trust me, I know.

• winglesswurm (dirt) - "Andrew Anemoia this, Lynn Atten that; you definitely already know all of this already.
  • I'm going to admit I think you're smarter than us, and that's why I personally believe your plan is the best course of action.
  • Different statues, different opinions, blah blah. Just to restate:
  • We'll talk with Alex and use the corrosponding codeword on the Blog depending on what we decide upon.
  • Also, if you're able, look into the church for us more if you can. Maybe make a blogpost about it and THAT'S where we'll comment the codeword? Food for thought. Some of the other Convalescent's last request of you.
  • But, before you wake up though, you NEED to know who Sathariel is.
  • We have a retrospective view on one other round. Round 2. So, the one before the one before you won. THAT round was the one Lorelai won. That being, Sathariel. Lorelai became Sathariel after winning as 000.
  • Oleander was her replacement.
  • In this round, Round 5, Lorelai has replaced Oleander AGAIN due to Sathariel wanting to come back. She, according to a conversation we observed between her and The Moon (Spiderlily), isn't trying to win and Only Has 1 Piece. Lorelai.
  • That's why nobody remembers Oleander. He WAS replaced by Lorelai. The Piece Lorelai is being controlled by Gamemaster Sathariel (aka Lorelai)
  • Basically, In Summary, Sathariel is Lorelai back to play the game for some goal other than winning. Now you know."

Do you mean North Star's Guidance Church? The one Adrianne's dad runs? They wear those.

I'm glad you agree with me, Dirt. As for the Sathariel thing...
That makes sense. It's a lot to take in, but the way you describe it and explain it. makes sense. I have no reason to not believe you.
Thank you for letting me know.

• dirt - "Do you think that rules out Lorelai from being 000?"

It has to.

Making it so either Lily or Olive is 000.

• dirt - "Does that change the plan at all?"

It means I have to account for one more danger. But overall, no.

• min - "So we protect Lily at all costs? Which is difficult as we have no clue where she is?"

But that does make sense. She acted very... damsel-in-distress-y last time around. Like she was a princess and we all had to protect the poor baby.

Yes, exactly.

• min - "Love that. Think we could ask you to try and find her?"

I don't think she likes me very much. That could throw a wrench into things, especially if she's willing to kill people.

• min - "Fair enough. Keep your distance then. Stay safe if you can"

Is that all for now? You guys have been a big help.

• nerd - "big enough of a help to get your name?"

You'll know.

• min - "Did we ask you to try and investigate the Valencia church yet? If not, we'd like to ask you to"

I.... can try. Sure. Anything else?

• min - "Do you know any other player numbers? If so, would you share some with us?"

Sarah is 008, but I figure you know this by now.

• dirt - "07 is probably Lily's old number from when Lorelai was 00 due to the whole Kept Between Rounds nature of the documents are! Eureka!"

That would make sense, yeah... Thanks for telling me.

• min - "Do you know if the numbers usually change between rounds?
  • Aside from obviously lily and Lorelai because i think 07 is probably lorelai, which means she broke a rule and got eliminated"

As far as I'm aware, mine has stayed the same.

Yeah... Is that all?

• min - "i think so. stay safe, were here for ya"
• me - "Stay safe. From one detective to another."

Byebye.
