DRRP: IC Journal
Jun. 1st, 2016 10:26 am[In one of the provided journals in her bedroom, Aelita has taken to writing notes in it on the current situation. This will contain observations about Monobear's Home for Orphaned Bastards as well as records of investigations and cases. In the event that Aelita is involved in a trial in any way, this can serve as evidence.
The bottom of the pages are rippled, as if the journal had had a brush with a large amount of water and then dried out (pages 1-31 have blurry letters on their bottoms from where the ink ran, but the words are not illegible), and some of the early pages have small buglike bites around the edges.]

2nd - 21st Pages
[Here Aelita has recorded the names and titles of every student in the ESH, as well as made a page for Monobear and added notes about the various others he seems to have employed. These will be updated according to the blurbs in Aelita's CR Chart.]
22nd Page
My Bedroom
A10
Most likely uniform to the others, given how we all ended up with that horrible foghorn for an alarm clock. Has a canopy bed, desk, chair, dresser, pens, paper, notebooks, and a potted plant. The afformentioned alarm clock always goes off at 7AM. There's also a bathroom attached with a toilet, shower, sink, and sanitary supplies - thank goodness! At least the bear is aware of SOME things.
The dresser had my old outfit in it for some reason - where did Monobear get it? Did he snatch it when he kidnapped me? And is there some sort of laundry area to clean my clothes in? Because eventually they will need to be washed in a place that is not my bathroom sink.
There's now a wall dividing the area where the bedrooms are - and the entire house - in half.
23rd Page
Kitchen
Stocked with a lot of prepackaged food. Most of the brands feature some sort of green dinosaur that I assume is named "Reptar", and most if not all of the junk food boasts that it can turn your tongue green. None of that stuff is appetizing.
I think it's American? So an American kidnapped us?
On our side of the wall.How are the others going to eat? We have to get them food somehow! We had our first "challenge", which we lost, but since the others won, they are apparently getting a kitchen now. Question is, will Monobear put food in it?
24th Page
Scullery
A hallway. Has assorted cleaning supplies.Nothing else of interest. Found an extensive list of chores along with them. I hope one person isn't expected to do ALL of it!
On our side of the wall. At least we can clean?
UPDATE: Steven found a lever behind a strange poster that appeared. When pulled, it revealed a trapdoor to an underground room. It...looks to be some sort of torture chamber. We came in on one side of a one-way mirror, and we could see a chair and...shackles...on another side.
From what Sokka I think "Coach" TOM might have been tortured here. I felt bad for the Face on the other side, given how innocent he apparently is, but...how far does Monobear's depravity go?
25th Page
Dining Hall
The chandeliers are very nice for an "orphanage". Nothing but dust bunnies underneath the table - which itself is unusually long. Much longer than what you'd need for twenty people. Jinafire thinks that either Monobear might have intended to kidnap more people or that this place and its furnishings existed before we arrived. If that's the case, then what happened to the previous occupants?
On our side of the wall.
As per our second week here, and as losers of a "challenge", Monobear installed a pedestal with a seemingly unbreakable glass case on top. Within it is a stone slab. It must be returned to its owner ASAP.
26th Page
Foyer
Aside from the ugly Monobear statues, there's nothing of remote interest in here.
There's now a wall dividing this room - and the entire house - in half.
27th Page
Stairs and Elevator
As of the third day of our stay, the door at the top of the stairs is locked and the elevator does not work.
There's now a wall dividing the entire house in half. The stairs have been divided, and it seems that we've been given an elevator in the Waiting Room now. I doubt it works.
28th Page
Waiting Room and Monomono Machine
I am fairly certain no one needs that amount of clocks on one wall. The reading material here seems to be comprised of various tabloids and comic books.Nothing substantial. Zoey found a note behind one of the clocks that seems to be written by someone with the initials "F.F.", telling people to stay out of their cookies. This has to be one of the former residents of the house! Zoey thinks it might have been written by some sort of mastermind that could be controlling Monobear, though. I guess either is possible.
There's now a wall dividing this room - and the entire house - in half. A television has also been added, and on it we seemed to speak to a mysterious man...or robot? He wore some kind of odd suit, in any case. His name is TOM, and he claims to be our "Team Coach". We've apparently been sealed off from half of our fellow housemates in order to create teams and compete for "rewards" and be granted "motives" for killing each other. This is getting to be more and more of a sick, twisted game by the minute...
An update on the wall. There's a talking mailbox installed in it that can deliver messages and small packages across the divide. Considering Ren came through to us, it seems legitimate. The mailbox also has no idea what Monobear is, which is very odd.You would think the bear at least installed it! He claims that he used to deliver mail for a few people before us: someone named Steve, someone named Joe, and then everyone here.
We had a "challenge" in here on our second week of captivity. Our side lost. I think the bear left us one of the game cabinets we were competing on, but I'm not sure if it's still there, nor would I want to play it. That game was absolutely broken!
I have no idea what the weird sort of...prize machine here is supposed to do. We received "monocoins" in the night and found that we can insert them into this prize machine and obtain various objects. Some of them seem rather useless. Others...are just disturbing.
[A list of obtained items from the Monomono machine and whether or not they've been traded with someone else is listed here.]
29th Page
Arcade
Filled with a lot of bootlegs of what I assume to be actual games, but now they all feature Monobear. Sorry, but "Monomon" doesn't seem very appealing when all the creatures you're supposed to collect look exactly like your Monomon trainer - aka MONOBEAR - in different outfits.
If there wasn't a rule against destroying property, it might be possible to use all the electronics in here to make something that could help us get out, or at least send out a distres call.
Now on the other side of the wall.
30th Page
Downstairs Bathroom
[The words here are, strangely enough, accompanied by a stray smudge of pink, almost like dried blood. But that can't be right, can it?]
There's a broken tile underneath the bathtub that WILL cut you should you touch it, it's that sharp. Don't touch it.
Now on the other side of the wall.
31st Page
Office
Everything is locked.Nothing of note here. Steven says he and Beatrice went investigating here on our second day, and found a plaque underneath one of those that are on Monobear's paintings with the name Mr. Herriman on it. He could have been the previous owner of the house! I feel so bad that he and whoever was staying with him got...run out of it. I hope they're still alive. I hope...they're out there, trying to get their house back. Then maybe we won't be stuck here for too much longer.
He also said Beatrice was able to look through the eyes of the portraits in the office, and saw a hidden room very briefly before the lights in it went out. The paintings also cannot be removed from the wall. Lastly, Steven found a carrot taped underneath the desk. All very interesting stuff!
Now on the other side of the wall.We're never going to know what's locked up in that office at this rate... Cat and Zoey are investigating the secret room in the office in our stead.Sokka
[There's signs of a few pages being ripped out of the journal here, probably for a short message sent over to the Nick side, or for some silly fun.]
32nd Page
Someone's killed Panda. He was found dead in the kitchen. I didn't think anybody would...that they'd even...
I guess it doesn't matter what I thought. It happened, didn't it?
Panda was definitely attacked in the kitchen. I think it was set up as a trap for him. The culprit tampered with our food by stuffing peanuts into as many things as they could and lay in wait for him to come up to the kitchen for...a midnight snack, I guess. They must've known he'd have an allergic reaction because his mouth and throat are swollen. But that didn't...do the job. He also had a blow to the head and several cuts around it. One of his paws had blood on the claws, so we think he may have tried to fight back before he
There was also blood in the sink, and Panda wrote a "D:" emoticon on the floor in his own blood.
I fell asleep in the trial. So stupid...
Daffy killed Panda and then Monobear
[The rest of the page is too shaky and scribbled to make out.]
33rd Page
We have a second floor now. The door's been opened up.
Media Room
Contains ten old computers (really old, like from the 90's maybe?). There's no internet, but I'm not surprised about that. There'sa couple of games on them a few more games were added after we won this week's "challenge". They're all pretty boring.
There's also a TV on a rolling media card with a VCR. The TV doesn't get any reception, but when I checked the VCR, there was a pre-recorded tape inside with some sort of...children's programming? It starred a girl named Lauren and she treated her audience like they needed to think for half a minute to come up with the simplest of answers, so if it IS child's programming, it's very insulting.
Will have to see what I can do with the computers here. Did a cursory sweep of the files, nothing interesting.
34th Page
Laundry Room
Very normal. Nothing of note here. Glad to finally wash my clothes properly.
Update: the detergent is missing. Why is the detergent missing? I'm going back to the sink.
35th Page
Gymnasium
The rock wall reminds me of Kadic. I never thought I'd admit it, but I miss Jim.
There are a lot of different types of sports equipment in here - including swords and other things that could be fashioned into weapons. It makes me nervous, but then again, if this WAS a former home for orphans, they certainly got a diverse physical education.
The other side has an identical gymnasium.
36th Page
On the other side
I've been told that instead of a Media Room, the folks on the other side of the wall have a Library filled with really terrible romance novels.If it's the same as on the I heard it also has a giant plush ear of corn? I can't think of as to why.
37th Page
Cat Noir's profile is gone. It was replaced with one for a boy named Adrien Agreste.Maybe Cat escaped, Monobear noticed, and kidnapped this poor boy to replace him? I can't believe I was so stupid! They even look alike - Cat Noir - Adrien - is dead.
The other side had the trial, and we were stuck in some sort of observation room. We were allowed three objections, but we didn't need them during the case. I had wanted to say something when Sokka accused Jinafire of the murder, since his reasoning was fairly baseless, but...
But she killed him.
She said she and Cat had agreed on a gamble of a duel. They would fight, and if one killed the other, they would go to the trial and hope to not get caught. If we didn't catch them, we all would have died - but they wanted to be able to get out so they could get help, to revive us somehow and stop Monobear and save their homes - they were seeing videos from home of awful things happening. Since everyone's from different worlds and times, they must have believed it was possible to do this, even with the risk being so high...
I wish I could have...said something to them. Helped them believe this wasn't the only way. I don't believe for a second what Monobear showed them was real, he - he just wants us not to trust each other, and to kill each other. But if we do that, we're playing right into what he wants, and we'll never be able to beat him. We need to work together. We need to trust one another.
We need to get out of here.
38th Page
There's stairs in the second floor entrance hall now. This is sickening. It's like he's rewarding us for murder every time we catch someone. Here, you apprehended a friend and watched their death, have another floor to explore!
Monobear is beyond any insult I can think up.
Music Room
There's a lot of instruments in here. I didn't look too hard at anything - found Steven in there playing the ukulele! He's really good! He said his Dad was a rock star before settling down with his Mom, so that's where he learned it from. I didn't see any turntables, but that's alright. Hopefully when we're all out of here I can find some and see if anyone would want to give some mixing a listen. And a promised Lapis I'd show her how it works!
39th Page
Dance Studio
Nothing much in here.
40th Page
Art Studio
Lots of art supplies.
41st Page
Casino
Most of us can't even gamble why is this here.
42nd Page
On the other side
Has something called a "Sponge Room" that now we also have tacked onto our side.
It feels like it's laughing at all of us.
