charlie (to group): "Hey! Sorry for the group text, but I just got into town for winter break at my dad's, and haven't been ale to get ahold of Alice. Just wondering if any of you have spoken to her?"
dakota (to group): "I saw her Wednesday, and that's it. I'm really worried."
julia (to group): "yeah i have not heard from her at all. anyone else?"
dakota (to group): "I mean, sometimes she skips school, but I usually know about it."
dakota (to group): "I figured she'd catch me up later, but"
julia (to jack): "hey man, is that creepy guy still hanging round your house lately?"
jack (to group): "She's been gone -- she hasn't been home since then. We're all getting pretty worried, tbh."
dakota (to group): "oh geez"
dakota (to group): "She didn't make it home Wednesday?"
evan (to group): "This is bad"
charlie (to group): "She's been.. distant lately. Stuff going on. But I just haven't heard *anything* in a few days."
jack (to group): "Nope. Mom and dad told the cops, like, immediately. But they haven't managed to do anything useful, of course."
dakota (to group): "Oh god. um, don't tell anyone but we were at the old army base wed night. Some guards saw us and we hot footed it away; I made it out through the woods and she climbed a fence."
dakota (to group): "Did they catch her?"
julia (to group): "wtf dakota"
charlie (to jack): "I know things have been rough at home.. any chance she just needed to.. get away?"
evan (to group): "Old army base? I bet they're doing secret stuff there"
dakota (to group): "it was her idea11"
charlie (to group): "Jeez, Dakota."
dakota (to group): "Evan, it's just decomissioned, but sometimes there's cool crap in the bunkers."
evan (to group): "That's probably why the police haven't found anything. The military are hiding some crazy shit"
evan (to group): "Maybe she's on the run from them"
dakota (to group): "Like, I didn't even think the guards were army, just local mall cops"
jack (to group): "Wouldn't they at least call us if they caught her? You don't just keep someone prisoner and not tell her parents."
dakota (to group): "I know!"
charlie (to group): "I mean.. the military is pretty shady."
charlie (to group): "Maybe they don't want her to know. I saw this tv show once..."
charlie (to group): "want *anyone* to know, I mean"
charlie (to group): "not her"
julia (to group): "guys that is super-far fetched"
dakota (to group): "Julia, did you see her later that night? I thought she was going to, um, stop by."
julia (to dakota): "stop it okay"
julia (to dakota): "no need to bring it up"
dakota (to julia): "gah, sorry. but did you?"
julia (to group): "no"
julia (to group): "i tried to get a hold of her, but couldnt reach her"
julia (to dakota): "no"
dakota (to group): "We have location sharing with each other, but I guess her phone's been off?"
jack (to group): "If they did do something to her, then her car should still be there. Unless they hid it in a bunker or something, I guess."
dakota (to julia): "OK, right. Sorry. I'm just so worried now."
julia (to dakota): "i tried to reach her, actually. got no response. i called the parents by they didnt know either"
jack (to julia): "i haven't seen him in a couple days"
julia (to group): "maybe someone should go check"
julia (to jack): "hm okay"
jack (to julia): "Since Alice went missing, I guess :\"
julia (to jack): "oh man"
julia (to jack): "i think we should worry about that guy rather than the military"
jack (to charlie): "Maybe. Our parents can kinda be pricks. I wouldn't blame her if she did want to take off. I'm..."
jack (to charlie): "I'm thinking of doing the same."
dakota (to group): "OK, WTF, David just posted a picture of Alice and him."
julia (to group): "wow"
jack (to julia): "Yeah, that makes more sense. Maybe I should go pay a visit to his house..."
julia (to group): "that jock dude? dave nelson?"
charlie (to group): "Oh? Of what?"
charlie (to group): "Like, the two of them, where?"
charlie (to group): "Is it dated?"
dakota (to group): ""'so much fun last Thursday! Let's do it again.'"
dakota (to group): "What?"
charlie (to group): "Huh"
charlie (to group): "Thursday. Like.. a few days ago?"
evan (to group): "That doesn't make sense"
julia (to jack): "good idea keep me posted"
dakota (to group): "Like, two days ago Thursday? A week ago Thursday? She was with me all that Thursday."
julia (to group): "does it say where they were?"
dakota (to group): "Gah, it's just their faces."
charlie (to group): "Ok ok."
charlie (to group): "Still weird."
dakota (to group): "Jack, there's like metadata in those pictures, right? Can you get a timestamp from it?"
jack (to group): "Sorry, I'm about to get in my car -- I can't just sit here."
charlie (to jack): "Where would you go? Any idea where *she* would go?"
dakota (to group): "It... kind of looks like the coast behind them? Maybe I'll check out the lighthouse."
jack (to group): "There's a kid named Wallace who's been acting pretty creepy lately. I wanna make sure he's not involved in this."
julia (to group): "maybe ill drive to dave nelsons house, maybe i can find him"
jack (to group): "(driving to Wallace's house)"
julia (to dakota): "you have heard the stories about the lighthouse, right? the ghost of the old lighthouse keeper and stuff?"
dakota (to julia): "ha ha yeah"
julia (to dakota): "be careful k"
dakota (to julia): "that's it! She fell in love with the ghost of the keeper."
dakota (to julia): "and now sails the ocean"
julia (to group): "(driving to david nelsons house="
jack (to charlie): "I'd just be getting on the highway and heading east, looking for the next city with any kind of job I can get. But I'm sure Alice is too smart for that. She'd have a plan."
julia (to dakota): "dude"
charlie (to group): "Mhm. I'm still at the train station, waiting for my mom to pick me up. I'm gonna look around."
julia (to dakota): "not funny"
dakota (to group): "God this lighthouse is forlorn."
dakota (to julia): "Alice would have laughed."
charlie (to group): "Oh, christ."
charlie (to group): "Is that blood?"
julia (to dakota): "youre right 🙂"
dakota (to julia): "im just nervous, ok"
evan (to group): "Where"
julia (to group): "charlie whats going on"
charlie (to group): "Hey, vampire boy. How do I know whose blood this is?"
dakota (to group): "what"
charlie (to group): "I'm at the train station. There's drops of blood in the snow."
charlie (to group): "I mean, it's probably some sort of animal."
charlie (to group): "But still. Ugh."
evan (to group): "Weird"
jack (to group): "$^#& you just made me almost rear-end this truck. what are you talking about???"
dakota (to group): "Tracks?"
dakota (to julia): "sorry"
charlie (to group): "I don't see any. It's just like, outside the station, by that big tree."
julia (to dakota): "nvmind"
julia (to dakota): "dont get abducted by ghost pirates"
dakota (to group): "Anything in the tree?"
dakota (to julia): "do my best"
charlie (to group): "Not that I can see.. no bodies, heh."
dakota (to julia): "damn it's cold here though."
jack (to group): "So for all we know this has nothing to do with Alice and is just some homeless guy who cut himself on a broken beer bottle?"
charlie (to group): "I bet someone saw a pretty girl and had a nose bleed, haha. Like in the animes."
julia (to group): "talked to dave nelsons mum"
charlie (to group): "yeah? What's she say?"
jack (to group): "Do not scare me like that man. I'm already freaked out enough as it is."
charlie (to group): "Sorry, sorry."
julia (to group): "she says she saw dave with alice a few times, but cant remember when"
dakota (to group): "Like, since wed?"
evan (to group): "so"
evan (to group): "um"
julia (to group): "yeah"
dakota (to group): "Has she seen Dave?"
evan (to group): "guys"
charlie (to dakota): "Hey, did Alice say anything to you about wanting to leave town. Because, uh, reasons?"
julia (to group): "she says hes at work"
charlie (to group): "Evan??"
dakota (to charlie): "what"
charlie (to group): "What"
charlie (to group): "Just spit it out"
dakota (to charlie): "She would have told me"
julia (to group): "evan dont fall asleep this isnt french class"
evan (to group): "That place by the train station, the tree and everything"
charlie (to dakota): "I figured she would have"
charlie (to dakota): "that's why I'm asking you"
julia (to group): "yeah"
dakota (to charlie): "She did not tell me."
charlie (to dakota): "Ok"
evan (to group): "I don't think she wanted me to tell you guys but"
dakota (to charlie): "And she told you?"
dakota (to charlie): "what"
charlie (to dakota): "Jack says *if* she wanted to,she'd have a plan. And I bet she would have told someone."
evan (to group): "on Wednesday night"
charlie (to dakota): "Things have been so bad at home, I mean."
charlie (to dakota): "Why wouldn't she want to leave?"
charlie (to dakota): "She didn't tell me anything specific."
dakota (to charlie): "no no no"
evan (to group): "she and I went by that tree"
evan (to group): "like, that was the last time I saw her"
julia (to evan): "were you to like together together"
evan (to group): "she wanted me to hide something in the tree"
jack (to group): "What time was it? Was this before or after she was with Dakota?"
charlie (to group): "What was it?"
dakota (to group): "geez, ev, and we went on a tangent about the military but you saw her after!"
evan (to julia): "no!"
charlie (to group): "Where did she go after?"
evan (to julia): "why would you say that"
dakota (to group): "oh, unless it was before"
charlie (to group): "Like, did you just leave her there?"
julia (to evan): "well she didnt tell me that"
dakota (to charlie): "What *did* she say?"
evan (to group): "She said it was okay"
julia (to group): "so what did you hide thereĂź"
jack (to group): "BTW I'm at Wallace's place. His car's not here, so I guess I don't get to punch him. Trying to decide if I want to talk to his parents."
dakota (to group): "@j do it"
evan (to group): "An old lunch box"
dakota (to group): "Wait, the one with the frog princess on it?"
evan (to group): "yeah"
dakota (to group): "!"
charlie (to dakota): "She kept saying she wanted to just.. get away for a bit. Maybe come visit me, but I reminded her that I'd see her soon."
julia (to group): "charlie, can you go find it"
julia (to group): "i have an idea that this might be wallace"
charlie (to group): "(do I need to climb the tree? Also OOC can be in (), btw)"
evan (to julia): "I guess maybe she thought it was too dangerous? She wasn't clear"
dakota (to charlie): "getting away for a bit would be much better than everything else going in my head"
evan (to julia): "I don't even know why she trusted me to be honest"
julia (to evan): "neither do I"
charlie (to dakota): "I don't think she would just leave without telling someone. You, in particular."
julia (to evan): "I mean, you werent really good friends, were you?"
dakota (to charlie): "thx"
julia (to evan): "no offense dude lol"
evan (to julia): "none taken"
dakota (to charlie): "it was hard enough when you left."
charlie (to dakota): "I'm sorry. My parents didn't give me a choice."
evan (to julia): "I guess I was just the only person who was at the right place at the right time or something"
dakota (to charlie): "i know"
julia (to evan): "do you know what was in the lunchbox"
jack (to group): "I think even his parents think he's a creep. They didn't say that. But going out for hours at a time and not telling anywhere where he is and spending the rest of the time in his room with the door locked is apparently *completely normal behavior* for this guy."
evan (to julia): "no, but I should have asked"
evan (to julia): "it's my fault"
charlie (to group): "Wait, you mean that's NOT normal behavior? Damn."
julia (to group): "he might've been stalking alice"
evan (to julia): "I didn't pick up on the warning signs or anything"
charlie (to group): "he's just jerking it"
charlie (to group): "Oh shit"
dakota (to charlie): "its just I don't know if I can get into the college you two can."
charlie (to group): "Not ot Alice, I mean"
charlie (to group): "Ew"
julia (to evan): "lets just hope we find her"
evan (to julia): "yeah"
jack (to group): "@taleslinger Yeah. I've definitely seen him in our neighborhood before. If he's done anything to her..."
charlie (to dakota): "Hey, there's always holidays."
jack (to group): "@adri07042 Dude."
charlie (to dakota): "We'll keep in touch."
charlie (to dakota): "Alice and I talk all the time."
evan (to group): "(also, Jack, use the channels please?)"
evan (to julia): "this could still be linked to that military base thing"
charlie (to evan): "(Do I need to climb the tree to find the lunchbox? And will you know what I find, or should I make it up, or..?)"
dakota (to charlie): "sorry i dropped out of that group chat with the three of us. It was just... i dunno. im not good at jsut-text."
julia (to group): "wallace send me a picture recently of when alice and I were hiking"
jack (to julia): "OK. So he's now my number one. But how am I going to track him down if even his parents don't know where he is?"
julia (to group): "that was so fucking creepy"
charlie (to dakota): "No, it's cool. I get it."
dakota (to charlie): "gah typos"
evan (to charlie): "(I don't know what's in the lunchbox)"
charlie (to group): "Yikes"
dakota (to group): "oh geez"
evan (to charlie): "(It's in the roots.)"
julia (to jack): "maybe he has some hideouts or something"
julia (to jack): "that fucking creep"
charlie (to group): "Oh! I found the lunchbox. It's a bit rusty, let me see if I can pry it open."
julia (to group): "j, better find that dude"
dakota (to group): "(Nobody else's card had them put a location/suspect on the board? It's just David for now?)"
jack (to evan): "This has me so stressed out I can't even think straight. I mean, it was bad before, with my parents and everything, but now I don't even want to be in the same house as them."
dakota (to charlie): "don't read the book in it."
julia (to evan): "i dont think so honestly"
julia (to evan): "im 100% its wallace"
dakota (to charlie): "at least not without asking julia."
charlie (to group): "(Evan, was that the train station?)"
charlie (to group): "(the card, I mean)"
charlie (to dakota): "Oh... ok."
dakota (to charlie): "stuff about Julia's sister"
dakota (to charlie): "and [bully whose name I forgot]"
charlie (to julia): "Hey, so. I found this book in the lunchbox. And Dakota pre-emptively warned me not to read it without talking to you.. So, uh."
charlie (to dakota): "(Bria)"
charlie (to julia): "She says it's about your sister?"
julia (to charlie): "does it say anything on it?"
dakota (to group): "This lighthouse is a bust. But it's super super cold."
charlie (to julia): "And Bria"
jack (to group): "(I just got a card that had me put a suspect out -- you can't see it?)"
charlie (to julia): "No, it's just like, one of those composition books we used to use"
julia (to charlie): "wat"
dakota (to group): "(we can!)"
dakota (to group): "(but post-me-asking)"
julia (to charlie): "holy crap, please look in it"
julia (to charlie): "man, malinda and bria? I had no idea"
dakota (to julia): "Um, there's a journal in that lunchbox. I think. About you."
evan (to jack): "Same right here"
julia (to group): "D, no ghosts or anything?"
dakota (to julia): "I told Charlie it was about your sister."
charlie (to julia): "Oh. It's like.. um. Hey, did Malinda tell you Bria was targeting her?"
julia (to dakota): "oh, hah, smart. thanks."
dakota (to julia): "So he wouldn't read it."
julia (to dakota): "man, thanks! but now im told him to read it"
julia (to dakota): "i just want to find alice"
evan (to jack): "But I'm here to help with whatever"
julia (to charlie): "no wtf"
dakota (to julia): "Me too"
charlie (to julia): "Some pretty nasty shit. But Alice tried to protect her."
dakota (to group): "no ghosts, just cold."
dakota (to group): "like, my teeth are chattering"
charlie (to julia): "She's been detailing it."
julia (to charlie): "I feel like driving over to brias place"
dakota (to group): "Pretty up here though."
charlie (to julia): "Be careful. She's rough."
dakota (to group): "I wish I could shine this light and it would just point her out, you know?"
dakota (to group): "Or maybe I'd just turn it on and she'd come to me."
julia (to group): "Okay, I'm driving over to brias place"
jack (to group): "Uh, Charlie? Is this legit? (pastes screenshot of private social media DM to Ryan, Alice's ex, saying that Ryan deserved someone better and is better off without her)"
charlie (to dakota): "Julia had no idea. She's going to go confront Bria, I think. Shit."
jack (to group): "Because if it is, that is not cool, man."
charlie (to group): "(wait, is that something I wrote?)"
evan (to group): "(Charlie, train station, yeah)"
evan (to group): "(belatedly)"
evan (to charlie): "(train station)"
jack (to group): "(It's something Ryan sent me, but it could have been faked)"
charlie (to group): "Jack, you know I would never say that."
dakota (to group): "Why would he lie about that?"
charlie (to group): "I love Alice. She maybe shouldn't have humiliated him like that, but man."
charlie (to evan): "(do you still have the card?)"
evan (to charlie): "(yeah)"
charlie (to evan): "(it should be on the table next to the locations, face up)"
evan (to charlie): "(like that?)"
julia (to group): "oh now we're blaming alice for that shit?"
charlie (to evan): "not that one"
charlie (to evan): "(the train station)"
dakota (to group): "nobody's blaming alice, jules"
julia (to group): "charlie totally is."
evan (to charlie): "(I'm confused, sorry)"
jack (to evan): "Now I don't know who to trust. I guess Charlie is a friend, but do you think Ryan would be that much of a jerk to fake something like that?"
charlie (to evan): "You were supposed to pull a location card."
dakota (to group): "she's just saying that Charlie, because he's a jerk, may still be bitter."
dakota (to group): "which would not be cool."
charlie (to evan): "(reveal a location card)"
jack (to group): "You know Ryan deserved it after what she did."
charlie (to evan): "(let's pretend it was train station, I guess)"
dakota (to group): "UNLIKE THIS LIGHTHOUSE"
evan (to charlie): "(oops)"
dakota (to group): "(bah, s/Charlie/Ryan)"
jack (to group): "She was right to stand up for herself."
evan (to charlie): "(I hope this doesn't derail the game)"
evan (to jack): "Maybe Ryan is being deceived"
evan (to jack): "the military might have gotten to Mark Suckerface or something and are editing social media to fit their agenda"
julia (to group): "ok, talked to bria. said she only gave alice grief because of some shit with my little sister. but she said she saw alice put something weird in her locker in school. gonna check it out."
julia (to group): "(driving to school)"
charlie (to evan): "(fixed)"
jack (to dakota): "Julia talks to you more than me. Did she tell you about what I'm planning? Do you think she might be doing the same thing?"
charlie (to group): "I wasn't blaming her.. but I mean, can you blame him for being angry? What if he hurt her?"
dakota (to jack): "Are you leaving? leaving town?"
evan (to jack): "wait what am I saying"
julia (to group): "(picture of a rusty sickle)"
charlie (to group): "She's sometimes not careful about who she pisses off"
evan (to jack): "I'm getting carried away"
charlie (to group): "What the hell is that, Julia?"
jack (to dakota): "Yeah. I wasn't planning to tell anyone, but Alice found out. She wasn't happy I was keeping it a secret."
dakota (to group): "In her locker??"
evan (to group): "That looks pagan af"
julia (to group): "Okay, i found this in alice's locker. now im really worried. i think its from that old red barn? that thing up the road? she hated that place. never wanted to go there."
charlie (to group): "That's creepy"
evan (to group): "or maybe it's a communist Russia thing they planted in her locker"
julia (to group): "why would she put that in her locker? the hell?"
dakota (to jack): "oh god what would i do if she left. she'd never leave, and if she did she'd..."
evan (to group): "it's a setup?"
jack (to dakota): "Part of me hopes that she decided to ditch as well and just too off, because that would mean she's fine. But if she did, then that means this is probably all my fault."
julia (to group): "i ... I think ill go to the barn regardless. gonna check it out."
evan (to group): "don't go to the barn alone"
evan (to group): "that's how people get killed in movies"
dakota (to jack): "did she not tell me because i'd be weird? What's going on that you guys have to get out? The stuff with your dad?"
charlie (to group): "Oh! The power just went out."
charlie (to group): "(for everyone)"
jack (to evan): "Between the lunchbox thing and Ryan/Charlie and that Wallace kid, I'm thinking the whole military thing is a red herring. There's enough real-life &$*# going on that we don't need to be making up anything new."
evan (to group): "wtf"
evan (to group): "that is some spooky shit"
charlie (to group): "They said the police are calling off the search due to this storm."
charlie (to group): "Shit."
julia (to group): "did all the houses just go dark"
charlie (to group): "I bet they didn't search the barn yet."
dakota (to group): "Wait, what sto--gah!"
julia (to group): "and im driving to a creepy barn to rescue my girlfriend. perfect."
charlie (to group): "In the loft.."
evan (to jack): "yeah maybe you're right"
jack (to dakota): "Yeah. It's like he's got our whole lives planned out for us. Maybe Alice can handle that -- she seems to take it better than I do, at least -- but I know I can't."
charlie (to group): "Julia, look in the loft."
charlie (to group): "I know you said Alice doesn't go there, but uh."
charlie (to group): "Just look."
julia (to charlie): "why? do you know anything?"
dakota (to jack): "i'm so sorry."
julia (to group): "this weather"
charlie (to group): "In the wall, there's a small cabinet"
dakota (to jack): "I know what she means to you--if you have to go, she'll understand."
evan (to jack): "what the hell does the sickle mean"
evan (to jack): "maybe the rumors were true"
jack (to dakota): "If she didn't tell me, I guess I'd understand, since she was pretty ticked that I was hiding it from her. But... watch your phone for weird rando numbers. I was planning to get a new number so I wouldn't be traced, so she might be planning the same thing."
julia (to group): "ok, im here. let me find my flashlight and my raincoat"
charlie (to julia): "Alice and I used to hide gifts and notes to each other in there. It was the last place anyone would look, because she was so vocal about hating it. Maybe there's something there."
jack (to evan): "Which rumors?"
charlie (to julia): "She knew I was coming back.."
evan (to jack): "Stupid stuff about Alice"
dakota (to group): "Guys I migth be stuck here. Rain pouring over the road."
julia (to charlie): "okay, let me look"
evan (to jack): "being into witchcraft"
jack (to evan): "Oh, $&#*, I missed Julia's text."
charlie (to julia): "You know I wasn't blaming her, right? I just want her to be safe."
julia (to charlie): "whatever dude"
julia (to charlie): "you know that thing with ryan was qwfjw4eöäoafg"
julia (to group): "guys"
dakota (to group): "and now my mind's playing tricks on me. maybe I can get this light back on."
charlie (to group): "What did you find?"
julia (to group): "i nearly died. theres a scarecrow right square in the barn."
charlie (to group): "Hahaha"
dakota (to group): "PHew."
julia (to group): "shit. I think this thing is wearing ryan's track jacket?"
dakota (to group): "At least it's not wearing her coat or something creepy."
charlie (to group): "...."
dakota (to group): "gah I was joking"
julia (to group): "Why did you say that"
jack (to group): "OK, look, I know that Alice isn't into any stupid crazy witchy #&$%."
charlie (to group): "At least it's not wearing her head or something creepy."
julia (to group): "Gonna explore some more. if some creeper kills me, well, avenge me or something"
charlie (to group): "I'll get right on that"
jack (to group): "If she put that thing in her locker, I'm sure she had a good reason, but how do you know it wasn't just Bria being a &#*(@ and putting it there herself?"
charlie (to group): "Her locker was popped, so anyone could open it..."
evan (to julia): "do you still have the sickle?"
charlie (to group): "Or at least it always was in the past."
julia (to evan): "yeah"
evan (to julia): "use it as a weapon if you need to"
dakota (to group): "Guys, Ryan just posted a reply on David's post demanding he say where they were Thursday."
charlie (to group): "wouldn't we all like to know"
dakota (to group): "*We* would, but Ryan?"
evan (to group): "The absolute gall of that guy"
charlie (to group): "He has no right to know."
charlie (to group): "Fuck him."
julia (to charlie): "okay, found your present"
charlie (to group): "He's always been so possessive."
julia (to charlie): "it's a train schedule? does that mean anything to you? trains leaving and when?"
evan (to group): "Does that eliminate him as a suspect, though"
evan (to group): "or does he have like a split personality"
julia (to group): "nope, maybe he just wants to check his alibi"
dakota (to group): "Alice never even mentions him."
charlie (to julia): "She kept talking about wanting to visit me."
charlie (to julia): "But I didn't think she made plans."
charlie (to julia): "Stuff at home has been so hard for her."
julia (to charlie): "oh, maybe thats what she wanted to say"
dakota (to group): "David: 'ha ha wouldnt you like to know, gram-dropped loser'"
charlie (to julia): "And I understand what she's going through."
julia (to charlie): "she never talked to me about visiting you"
jack (to group): "First Ryan sends that maybe-fake screenshot, and now he's practically accusing David... sounds sus to me. Like he's trying to blame everybody else."
charlie (to julia): "Maybe it didn't come up?"
julia (to charlie): "maybe"
julia (to charlie): "what did she tell you about life at home?"
charlie (to group): "yeah.."
julia (to group): "maybe we should find ryan"
evan (to group): "Let's go confront him"
julia (to group): "i can say i want to return his jacket lol"
julia (to group): "okay, my cars stuck in the mud"
evan (to group): "Julia, you are a daredevil"
charlie (to julia): "I don't know who else she's told, but there's been a lot of fighting. She's concerned her parents might be getting a divorce."
evan (to group): "oh shit"
charlie (to group): "Crap"
julia (to charlie): "oh yeah, i knew that ofc. but im started to think she kept a lot of secrets from a lot of people"
dakota (to group): "HOLY SHIT DAMN THATS BRIGHT"
dakota (to group): "fINALLY GOT argh finally got the light on."
charlie (to group): "hah"
julia (to group): "why"
evan (to group): "Guys"
evan (to group): "I'm sick of sitting here"
julia (to group): "does that help us find alice"
charlie (to group): "Julia, chill. I'm sure she's fine."
dakota (to group): "ALICE COME TO ME FOLLOW THE LIIIIIGGGGHHT"
charlie (to dakota): "Julia found a train schedule at the barn."
charlie (to dakota): "In the spot we used to hide things for each other."
evan (to group): "(who went to the lighthouse?)"
julia (to group): "(Dakota="
dakota (to group): "(I'm at the lighthouse)"
evan (to group): "(I just drew that card)"
evan (to group): "(but I can't justify going there)"
evan (to group): "(do I draw again)"
charlie (to group): "(does it say to go there?)"
evan (to group): "(yes)"
charlie (to group): "(go and find a reason not to see Dakota)"
charlie (to group): "(work it out with them)"
evan (to group): "(it's a lighthouse, not exactly a easy place to hide)"
jack (to group): "OK, driving around in circles in the rain looking for Wallace's car or Alice's car or &#$(ing anybody out here isn't doing any good."
julia (to group): "jack, can you go to ryan's place?"
jack (to group): "On it. If I can't punch Wallace, Ryan's face is the next best one."
dakota (to group): "(There's a few things going on at the lighthouse--the rain is covering the road; either of us could get separated there)"
dakota (to group): "(You could also see somethign just outside it? Or on the cliffs?)"
charlie (to group): "(snow storm, actually)"
charlie (to group): "(not rain)"
dakota (to group): "(Ah, whoops)"
charlie (to group): "(or both)"
charlie (to group): "(but definitely snow)"
dakota (to group): "(If you need me to skedaddle I can)"
evan (to group): "(still trying to figure out why I'd go there)"
charlie (to group): "(Dakota asks for backup? I dunno)"
dakota (to charlie): "Oh, Alice."
evan (to group): "(she hates me)"
charlie (to group): "(haha, true, but you want to be friends)"
evan (to group): "(fair)"
charlie (to group): "(she doesn't ask *you*, you just offer)"
evan (to dakota): "Hey"
dakota (to group): "(Anything works, just say something and I'll adapt.)"
evan (to dakota): "you're stuck at the lighthouse, that's not too far from where I am"
dakota (to evan): "yup"
dakota (to evan): "COME FOLLOW THE LIGHT, MY LITTLE MOTH"
evan (to dakota): "more like the Mothman"
dakota (to evan): "Mothra"
dakota (to evan): "pick up after yourself; your mothra doesn't work here"
evan (to dakota): "I'm on my way. Good thing it's cloudy"
dakota (to evan): "If you do come, bring a better jacket I'm freezing."
julia (to jack): "(did you draw a card)"
jack (to group): "WHAT THE @*#&"
evan (to group): "Okay, I'm going to the lighthouse, can't leave our detective to freeze"
jack (to group): "IT'S NOT RYAN OR WALLACE"
julia (to group): "wat"
charlie (to group): "What?"
charlie (to group): "Who is it??"
jack (to group): "IT'S DAVID &$*@ing NELSON"
dakota (to group): "they're like our only suspects dude"
julia (to group): "wat? Wha?"
julia (to group): "why?"
evan (to group): "(arriving at lighthouse)"
evan (to dakota): "(arriving)"
jack (to group): "My dad just called me. The cops told them that they got into Nelson's icloud."
evan (to dakota): "The snowstorm man"
dakota (to group): "o no"
evan (to dakota): "can't see shit"
jack (to group): "Ton of texts with him and his #&$^ friends about how they needed to "teach her a less" and &#*$ like that."
dakota (to evan): "where even are you?"
charlie (to group): "Ok, but does that mean he'd actually *do it*?"
julia (to group): "no no no"
charlie (to group): "Shit"
evan (to dakota): "damn if I know"
julia (to group): "i hope they didnt do anything to her"
evan (to dakota): "somewhere near the cliffs"
evan (to dakota): "wait"
charlie (to group): "What did she do to David???"
evan (to dakota): "I think there's something out there"
dakota (to evan): "are you at the fucking bottom of the cliffs i mean come on."
evan (to dakota): "your jacket's going to have to wait"
charlie (to group): "I mean, to piss him off like that"
jack (to group): "@adri07042 How about the one that said "i see her. i have the bag. time to do this thang"?"
charlie (to group): "Oof"
evan (to dakota): "I think I've found something"
charlie (to group): "Fuck, man"
evan (to group): "guys"
evan (to group): "what"
evan (to group): "I have literally not been following"
jack (to julia): "(I "shuffled" the already face-up cards (i.e. spun the spinner)"
evan (to group): "I think I found it"
evan (to group): "on the cliffs"
dakota (to group): "'it'?"
charlie (to group): "What's it?"
julia (to jack): "aha"
evan (to group): "her car"
charlie (to group): "Oh.."
jack (to evan): "I'm on my way."
julia (to group): "holy"
julia (to group): "no no no"
charlie (to group): "Is it locked? Can you look inside? Fuck. I guess it's evidence."
dakota (to group): "Oh geez."
julia (to group): "call the cops evan, dont touch anything"
evan (to group): "bumper's missing, looks like it's been stripped for parts"
jack (to group): "(Jack is now driving to the cliffs. He's blind with rage and pretty much ignoring things like red lights.)"
charlie (to group): "Already? Christ"
evan (to jack): "gotcha"
julia (to group): "i still cant get my car to start"
dakota (to group): "So, what, David's Thursday pic was here after all?"
evan (to group): "the trunk's half open but I can't see shit in this blizzard"
julia (to group): "nobody inside, evan?"
dakota (to group): "I don't think I can aim this light but let me try"
charlie (to group): "who strips a car with a body inside?"
charlie (to group): "their fingerprints would be all over it"
evan (to group): "there's something in the trunk"
dakota (to group): "THERE'S NO BODY CHARLIE; CRIST"
julia (to group): "i dont know charlie im just worried okay"
charlie (to group): "Julia asked!"
julia (to group): "what is it jesus christ evan"
evan (to group): "you told me not to touch anything!"
jack (to evan): "rip tree"
julia (to group): "now i remember why i stopped hanging out with you"
jack (to evan): "guess i'm walking now"
evan (to group): "I can't see what it is"
julia (to group): "OPEN THE TRUNK"
charlie (to group): "We have to know, and the cops aren't doing shit tonight"
evan (to group): "oh, that's not fair"
charlie (to group): "open the damn trunk"
evan (to group): "I'm doing it now I cant' text while ffucking about in the snow"
dakota (to evan): "i can't come down there i can't see it's too much"
julia (to charlie): "do you think bria worked with david"
dakota (to evan): "please tell me its not her"
jack (to group): "Guys my car is wrecked and it's freezing out here. Anyone near Vine St. who can give me a ride?"
julia (to group): "still stuck at the barn"
evan (to group): "it's not a body"
charlie (to group): "I don't have a car here, and my mom isn't home"
charlie (to group): "did you get into an accident?"
dakota (to group): "*breathes again*"
charlie (to julia): "I don't know, I really don't"
charlie (to group): "so what is it?"
evan (to group): "it's a sack of cash?"
evan (to group): "fuck it's being blown out by the wind wtf"
charlie (to group): "(What are you doing with the location cards?)"
julia (to charlie): "(sorry)"
charlie (to group): "CASH???"
jack (to group): "In Alice's trunk?"
julia (to charlie): "(I had to pick one as alice's location ... but I'm here do I take the 10 minute card for myself)"
evan (to group): "who even has this much money"
dakota (to jack): "Were you saving money to get out of town... as cash?"
evan (to group): "it's got to be fake"
charlie (to julia): "(it's the barn? Yeah, probably you)"
charlie (to julia): "(nobody else is heading there)"
jack (to group): "How much? Is it, like, "college fund" kind of levels of cash?"
julia (to group): "SHIT
julia (to group): "guys did everyone get that"
charlie (to group): "What?"
julia (to group): "i got a text from alice, shes here, somewhere here"
julia (to group): "going inside now"
charlie (to group): "Oh shit, no"
charlie (to group): "Ok"
dakota (to group): "WHAT"
evan (to group): "where?"
charlie (to group): "Be careful"
dakota (to group): "tell her we love her"
jack (to dakota): "Yeah. We both had college funds. I was going to empty mine next week."
charlie (to group): "I hope it's really her.."
julia (to group): "cant find her, shit"
julia (to group): "she said she was hurt but noch much more, some typos"
jack (to julia): "WHERE'S HERE, JULIA? WHERE IS SHE?"
dakota (to group): "Alice typos or someone else's typos?"
julia (to group): "can anyone get here? this place is huge cant find anything"
julia (to jack): "thebarn man the fucking barn"
dakota (to group): "Alice would reverse her th's in 'the'."
dakota (to group): "But not much else."
charlie (to group): "Ok, my mom just got home. I'm going to head over."
julia (to group): "guys I cant really type"
charlie (to group): "What's wrong??"
julia (to group): "can you guys look for david and bira and whoever? i dont want to be jumped by them if they are here too"
charlie (to group): "Are you ok?"
charlie (to group): "Yeah, I'll be there in a bit. Just hang tight."
julia (to group): "im fine but i havent found her. going upstairs."
jack (to group): "I'm calling an Uber."
charlie (to group): "(driving through the storm to the barn)"
dakota (to group): "I've lost track. Jules, you at the barn?"
jack (to julia): "I'm trying to get there but you gotta find her."
julia (to group): "charlie, does the book say anything about the barn"
evan (to group): "what book?"
julia (to jack): "hard driving in this storm"
julia (to jack): "im in the hayloft now, still no trace"
jack (to charlie): "Sorry, man, about the thing with the screenshot. I guess I know it was just Ryan being a jerk. I shouldn't have flung it out there in the group chat like that."
charlie (to group): "Why are there so many cars out in this storm? Shit. I don't remember. I only skimmed."
dakota (to group): "The lunchbox book."
charlie (to group): "There was a book in -- yeah, what she said."
julia (to group): "still havent found her. maybe it was a hoax? maybe you guys should check somewhere else. better safe than sorry."
dakota (to group): "Ok, think think think"
charlie (to jack): "It's cool, really. We're all upset."
charlie (to jack): "We'll find her, ok?"
jack (to charlie): "Yeah. Yeah."
charlie (to group): "Ok,we're moving agian."
dakota (to group): "David's private chat with buds says he's probably grabbing her."
dakota (to group): "Posts a picture that might be here at the lighthouse, claims its from Thursday."
dakota (to group): "Says something about 'doing it again'."
dakota (to group): "Ryan gets mad."
julia (to group): "nothing here either! i think she might not be here after all"
dakota (to group): "Alice drops off her lunchbox/book at the tree at the station... before this goes down, probably."
charlie (to group): "So I should or shouldn't come?"
julia (to group): "better check the lighthouse again or something, i dunno"
dakota (to group): "Evan and I are here and there's her car and nothing else."
dakota (to group): "Maybe there's a cave in teh cliffs?"
dakota (to group): "damn that's alice's typo"
charlie (to group): "But the book was about Bria, not David."
charlie (to group): "Are they friends?"
dakota (to group): "Right, so that's.. unrelated, I guess? alice is just going through some shit."
julia (to group): "can someone try and text her cell maybe? she doesnt answer me, but I have bad reception in here"
dakota (to group): "David's nice, acts comforting, he's popular, Alice lets her guard down."
charlie (to group): "(I imagine the car is moving so slowly that I'm just texting the whole time, haha)"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "what 10 min card?"
evan (to group): "(what 10 min card?)"
charlie (to group): "(Julia)"
charlie (to group): "(I didn't know who would have it)"
evan (to group): "(ok)"
dakota (to group): "(someone gave the 10 minute card to someone else)"
julia (to charlie): "(this says the face-up suspect is the culprit, but ther are two? Are they both it?)"
dakota (to group): "I'm sitting here under this sweeping light and the shadows are freaky and i'm scared"
charlie (to julia): "(Dropthe card on the table and I'll read it)"
evan (to group): "you're lucky"
julia (to group): "Guys I found her, she hid. handing her the phone now"

dakota (to julia): "Alice i love you im sorry if you need to go its ok but stay safe"

[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "And that's game 🙂"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Woo!"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "I need to take a break, but we can debrief ina bit and share our voicemails."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Yay, she's alive!"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "Yay!"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "yayy"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "We can spoiler away now, right?"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "Sure"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "My secret was the army base thing."
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "So, I had to flip a coin to see wether Alice and Jules or only Alice make it out alive, and it was SUUUUUPER close"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "BURY YOUR GAYS TROPE: averted"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "phew"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "did the coin land on an edge?"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "before then slowly falling"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "or did a rat steal it"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "No, but the coin simulator on the page was close"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "My secret was that someone send an anonymous message, and that it was super creepy (it was a pice of Alice and Jules hiking)"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "My secret was that Alice asked me to help her hide a thing (the lunchbox)"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I was really glad that the lighthouse card came up in the game since I was there the whole time."
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "ha ha"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "it was kind of awkward when I drew the 10 minute card with the location I was already at and had to stall"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "amusingly, it was your nemesis, Nosferevan Holwell, who came to the ligthouse"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I thought the point of the card was that it's for someone who's already there."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Was the sack of cash something that got made up as on-the-spot worldbuilding?"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "It's for whoever most recently said they were going there or is already there"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "put it on the table"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "improv"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Because it fits perfectly with the idea that she was ditching town."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "(initial idea was a severed limb, but that seemed too clichéd)"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "(went for something more flexible)"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "I think David just interrupted that plan"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Emptied out her college fund and was already on her way when David got to her."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "Catching up."
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "and david is still at large DUN dun DUN"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "the Sickle Sicko"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "My motive was to crack jokes and make people worry less, and my secret was that she was acting weird and had a reason for it."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "So I said her parents were fighting a lot and she thought they were getting a divorce"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "i think David either murdered Ryan too or Ryan was in on it"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "my motive was to to fear the worst, come up with conspiracy theories and feel guilty"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "My motive was to ask questions and figure things out."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Well, Dad is a controlling jerk. Maybe Mom was just finally realizing it."
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "My motive was to find the one responsible"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "appropriate for a love interest"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "Debriefing: How do we feel, is everyone ok? Are there any loose ends we want to tie up? And the questions I hate: what would you like to take or leave from your character."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "Also voice mails!"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "My motive was to defend Alice if anyone said anything negative about her."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: ""Hey, sweetie. I know things have been rough for you lately, but you know I'll always be here for you. We should get together and watch some horror films and eat Chinese food, and it'll be just like old times. I promise everything will be all right. Anyway, I love you, and I'll see you soon.""
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I liked my character arc--it turned out I was broken up when Charlie left town and was more clingy since then, so Alice didn't tell me she was planning to leave, because she thought I couldn't handle it."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: ""Alice, I'm sorry. This was between Mom and Dad and me; I never meant for you to get stuck in the middle of it. As soon as I get my new phone I'll give you the number, I promise.""
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "Voice mail : "Hey Darling, I got this weird message and I'm really creeped out. They said they know about us and then they send a pic of that hike we took last week. I'm really, really worried? Just text me or whatever, okay? Thanks.""
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Voicemail: "Hey, Alice! I made it out through the woods; sorry I left you at the fence. I haven't seen you *not* scale it before; I'm sure you made it. But, uh, call me back. Great hanging out again; can't believe you talked me into it! Hope you and Julia still had time to hang out afterwards. She's so good for you. Especially after Ryan. Anyway. See ya!""
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "So a loose end is - Did David work alone yay/nay? I think both scenarios are plausible"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I think it's plausible that Ryan involved himself today and got killed and/or killed David himself."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "At the beginning of the story, I don't think I really liked Julia much, and I thought that she really should have been with Evan. But by the end, when Julia saved her, I completely came around."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "Trying to find it, but what was Jack';s secret?"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "It's lost in the scrollback somewhere if you siad"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "said"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "My secret was that Alice had found out that I was planning to leave town without telling anyone, and we had a big fight over it."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "ah"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Which, I think, might have given *her* the idea to suddenly leave like that."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "Last voice-mail: “Hey, it’s me. Evan. I hope I’m not bothering you or anything? But there’s a special Tim Burton movie night happening on Friday, so I was wondering… you know, if you haven’t got anything else to do, maybe it’d be cool to go check it out? It’d be a chance to see Sweeney Todd on a big screen… Anyway. Just let me know whether that works for you, or not, I guess.” (so mundane, I know!)"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "aww"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Sorry, Evan. As great a boyfriend as I'm sure you'd be, I'm on Team Julia now."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "hehe"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "lol"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I was kind of watching for a way for the story to take a genre left-turn into something supernatural, but it didn't end up going there in the end."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "I'll become a Hollywood film composer and win oscars, nyahh! wait, Danny Elfman already did that"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "I didn't want to see a literal ghost at the lighthouse if nothing mechanical ever came of it, so I left it at 'extra cold'."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "I'm curious what stuff David and his friends were up to that was so terrible that they were willing to stab Alice to keep it a secret."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "witchcraft!"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "or communism"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "Probably something supernatural at the Lighthouse"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Communism was a red herring."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Communism is a red herring!"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Ha!"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "lololo"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Yeah, witchcraft at the lighthouse makes sense."
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "Well, what was David's connection to Alice again?"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "what?"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "She knew about something he'd done that he didn't want the police to find out about."
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "#tangent Another thing I liked about this game was not fixing my typos."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "haha"
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "So possibly "sacrificing neighborhood cats to Satan" or the like."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "did you notice my last words were deliberate typos due to frostbitten fingers?"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "yes"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "And having been stabbed, yeah."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "That was Alice"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "The stabbed"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "I was not stabbed!"
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "Except emotionally"
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "awww"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Ha"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "I think there was satanism at the barn. That is why Alice took the sickle."
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Oh, wait, right. And yes."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "My last words weren't on the group chat; they were to Julia's phone, telling Alice we'd have a lot to talk about. And then telling Julia to stop snooping."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "so the rumors were partially true! she wasn't into witchcraft, she was investigating it"
[setup-and-debrief] julia: "(Narrator: Julia kept snooping)"
[setup-and-debrief] dakota: "Nice."
[setup-and-debrief] evan: "Snooping saves lives."
[setup-and-debrief] jack: "Also, no one mentioned it earlier, but I assume marc was playing Alice at the beginning."
[setup-and-debrief] facilitator: "ha"
