HESTER
Bro I just figured out something super fuckin trippy
[6:13 P.M.] Me. Myself.
???
Do tell
[6:14 P.M.] Sinclair
Turn off yoru lights
[6:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Come again
[6:14 P.M.] Sinclair
Turn off all your lights
Completely darken your whole room
[6:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Why
[6:14 P.M.] Sinclair
BECAUSE
YOUR ROOM WILL NOT BE DARK
!$!$@!!!$)*(&*@!*$[]\:[:{}}"
YOUVE GoT NO WINDOWS. NO EXIT. YOUR JUST IN A BOX.
BUT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF
IT ISNT DARK
[6:16 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hold on what the hell
[6:16 P.M.] Sinclair
HOW DOES THAT WORK!??!?!
[6:16 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Are the walls glowing or something?
That's super weird
[6:17 P.M.] Sinclair
I dont have a fraction of a fucking clue bro
But there are definitely wizards behind these walls
[6:17 P.M.] Me. Myself.
They did have the technology to wipe our memories, so I guess anything is possible here
[6:18 P.M.] Sinclair
You know what would have been much cheaper and easier
Do you have any idea what would have made more sense to light the rooms with other than glow in the dark walls
[6:19 P.M.] Me. Myself.
?
[6:19 P.M.] Sinclair
FUCKING WINDOWS, HESTER
THEY COULD HAVE ADDED SOME MFING WINDOWS
[6:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Speaking of, where in the country even are we?
[6:21 P.M.] Sinclair
Utah
Idfk
We could be in a bunker under the english channel forall i fucking know
[6:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What if we're in North Korea
[6:22 P.M.] Sinclair
Those ALLERTS did seems like they were written by a kidnapped guy…,
And all this food shit? Is there where it goes instead of to their people?
AER WE IN THOSE EMPTY BUILDINGS THEY KEEP ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER???!
AND IS OUR REWARD AT THE END FREEDOM??
ARE WE WAR ORISONERS, HESTER??
[6:22 P.M.] Me. Myself.

Hey Thiago
[7:06 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Thiago
[7:10 P.M.] Me. Myself.
THIAGO
[7:11 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
If you’re going to say something unprompted then just fucking say it
I have nothing to reply to when you haven’t fucking told me anything
[7:11 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Turn off your lights
[7:12 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
No
[7:12 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Trust me just do it
[7:14 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
How about you just tell me what that’s supposed to do and skip the drama
[7:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.
That’s less fun though
Turn all of your lights off you won’t be disappointed
[7:19 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
You have guaranteed that I will be disappointed just by saying that
[7:19 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Stop being stubborn
It's really cool and weird
[7:21 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Then why are you pulling my teeth
[7:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Because its better if you see it for yourself
[7:26 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
I'm keeping my lamp on. Now what am I supposed to be looking at
[7:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
TURN THE LAMP OFF
[7:27 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
You are not making me turn the lamp off
[7:27 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Yes I am
[7:27 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Fuck off
[7:27 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Not fucking off until you turn the lamp off
[7:36 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Congratulations, you have achieved having me sit in dark room. Now what
[7:36 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Don't you see how there's still light in the room
[7:37 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Is that seriously was this is about
Do you really think you're the first person to figure that out
[7:37 P.M.] Me. Myself.
No?
[7:40 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Great job then
You're an incredibly slow human being
[7:41 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Thanks
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Jae Hamilton[133-239-0082]
[8:11 P.M.] Me. Myself.
The first big elimination is only a few hours away
Will you be staying up to watch it
[8:13 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
Like a sports event? No, probably not. I’ve been awake since 4 am
[8:13 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What if it’s you though
What if it’s ME
[8:13 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
I think my odds are solid
I’m not fretting over a 0.007% chance I fall tonight
[8:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.
But everyone else has those same odds
[8:14 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
That’s still a 99.993% it won’t be me
[8:15 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I suppose
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Sinclair[133-898-0111]
[8:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Bro what the hell did you know we have a music cabinet
[8:21 P.M.] Sinclair
HUH?
Elaborate I want the tunes
[8:22 P.M.] Me. Myself.
See that cabinet by your tv
[8:22 P.M.] Sinclair
The Cabinet is present yes
[8:22 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Check the top
[8:24 P.M.] Sinclair
Do you take me for a fool
We’re you really so jealous I found that light thing first that you felt the need to taunt me
[8:24 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What
[8:25 P.M.] Sinclair
If so, hats off to you I was very excited there
[8:25 P.M.] Me. Myself.
No they’re in the small drawer below the movie shelves
[8:25 P.M.] Sinclair
Tell me where they really are Hester
Oh
Oh there they are
[8:25 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Yeah
What albums do you have
[8:26 P.M.] Sinclair
I have no idea
I don’t know who any of these bitches are
I think it’s just a bunch of alternative boy bands or something
Where’s a cd plater at
[8:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Should be a radio by the dvd player
[8:27 P.M.] Sinclair
Alright let’s see what these “bastille” characters are like
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
[8:27 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I have a weird mix of country and rap music
Like I have the Black Panther soundtrack and and 3 Chris Stapleton albums
[8:36 P.M.] Sinclair
Holy s
What the fuck
This band
[8:36 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Enjoying them?
[8:38 P.M.] Sinclair
This is
What the Fuck
Who’s the singer
Dan Smith
Yeah I’m going to be here all night don’t talk to me I won’t respond
[8:38 P.M.] Me. Myself.
You’re welcome
[8:39 P.M.] Sinclair
Don’t get cocky I wouldkv found it at some point anyway
[8:39 P.M.] Me. Myself.
And I’m sure I would have found the lights thing anyway too
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Schofield, Kumari[133-732-0256]
[8:44 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hey did you know too that the whole room is glow in the dark or was I just really slow
[8:46 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
Yes? I haven't had lights on for most of the day
And you're using "or" wrong there. You can't say "Did you know about this or did I learn about it late" because those two statements in essence mean the same thing
[8:46 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I guess I was late
And apparently not good at comprehending grammer
[8:47 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
Grammar, with an A
[8:47 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Our whole relationship the next few months is just gonna be you correcting my bad spelling
[8:47 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
If it has to be
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]
[8:59 P.M.] Me. Myself.
The first elimination is coming soon
What do you thinks going to happen
[9:09 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
I don't fucking know
I think somebody will get eliminated
[9:09 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Of coures
But hwat kind of criteria do you think they're hiding to pick us off with
[9:14 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Whatever it was the alert said about our activities during the day
[9:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What kind of activities would they be gauging on our first day though
Something like how much TV we've watched? Or how much we've texted people?
[9:20 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Probably one of those
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Jae Hamilton[133-239-0082]
[9:19 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Have you wondered what the elimination criteria might be
It's only the first day, I wonder what activities they're eyeing?
[9:21 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
They also said the criteria is randomly selected
And they also have enough of them to eliminate all of us
So it may get really weird
[9:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
But how weird
Like how much toothpaste we used this morning?
[9:22 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
Could be
Can you even name 144 activities we could engage in
[9:24 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I'll think about it
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Schofield, Kumari[133-732-0256]
[9:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I've been talking to some other people about the eliminations
What are your thoughts?
[9:26 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
Thoughts about anything specific or broadly?
[9:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Just in general
Like what you think the criteria theyre tracking is
[9:28 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
Error #14: you asked for thoughts broadly and then asked for something specific
But yes, I have a few thoughts to provide concerning what the elimination will look like, though nothing even remotely conclusive because we haven't seen one yet and the alert was very vague
First, there are any number of ways the criteria can be measured and how it can be used for elimination. The criteria could involve how much of one activity we engage in—like cooking with the stove or watching TV—or if we engage in a certain activity at all. Maybe we could be eliminated for being the only one to sleep past noon, or it could be for spending the most amount of time on your phone, or the least. I wonder if they could use both the "least" and "most" of the same variable as two different elimination criterias. This could certainly put more interest and strategy into the game as you would always want to keep yourself square in the middle.
My main concern however is what happens if there's a tie in that scenario. Maybe the criteria is watching the least amount of movies, and two people haven't watched any. I wonder if that means either they both get eliminated, or there's a runoff and the two are matched against some other random criteria
There are lots of ways this can be done, to put it shortly. We'll find out soon enough
[9:32 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Yeah
I guess we will
Thank you for your big brain
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]
[9:34 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Have you talked to Kumari at all
[9:38 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
No I dont know him
[9:38 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Damn you should meet him
The guys like a supergenius
He has a whole running theory about the game he's been cooking up
He seems like the perfect partner you'd want to go through the game with
[9:43 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Great
I;ll write his name so I know who to look for in my 140 UNKNOWN SENDERS
[9:44 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Oh his number is 133-732-0256
[9:55 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Great
I'll do great things with it
[9:57 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I have no doubt
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Jae Hamilton[133-239-0082]
[9:58 P.M.] Me. Myself.
So according to someone else's theory, elimination criteria might either be whether we've done something the most or least of everyone or if we've done something at all
Like if we've watched the most tv or if we're the only one to not brush our teeth
[10:05 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
I guess that could kind of narrow it down
[10:05 P.M.] Me. Myself.
But I'm still confused on what they're going to pick one of us off for on the first day
Like we've barely had time to do anything
[10:21 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
Yeah
Sorry I am very tired right nw
You know, awake for 18 hours
[10:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Oh yeah sorry
I'll let you rest
[10:23 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
I wonder if we could ask the system what the criteria is
[10:23 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Would it respond?
[10:25 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
No harm in checking
Hey ALERT people, how are we going to be eliminated?
[10:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hm
ALERT: CONTESTANTS ARE WONDERING WHAT THE ELIMINATION CRITERIA WILL BE
[10:28 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
…
Nope
[10:29 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Not feeling chatty today I guess
[10:30 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
ALERT I want to break down my wall and find the elimination criteria
ALERT: ANY ATTEMPT TO FORCIBLY BREAK OUT OF YOUR ROOMS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. FAILURE TO ABIDE WILL MEAN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION FROM THE GAME.
[10:30 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
Yeah thats whatI thotught
Fuck you too
[10:30 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Wow
I didn't even know it did that
[10:33 P.M.] Jae Hamilton
Whatever goodnight
[10:33 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Cya
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Sinclair[133-898-0111]
[10:36 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Still jamming out to your Bastille album?
[10:42 P.M.] Me. Myself.
I'll take that as a yes
[10:45 P.M.] Sinclair
Idiot I told you "dont message me i wont respond"
[10:45 P.M.] Me. Myself.
But you're responding now
[10:46 P.M.] Sinclair
No I'm not
[10:46 P.M.] Me. Myself.
K????
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]
[10:51 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Did you find the stash of CDs yet
[10:53 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii have not
[10:53 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hint: it's in the top cabinet by the tv
[10:54 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Wow llook at tjat I found cds in there just like you said
[10:54 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What albums do you have
I have a bunch of stuff by Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Black Eyed Peas, Rise Against, and Johnny Cash
It's a really bizarre selection
[10:59 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Dead kennedys
The julie ruin
Sleater kinney
Team dresch
Eminem
Enter shikari
Destroy boys
Bikini kill
[11:00 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Huh
That's charming
And I've only heard of one of them
[11:05 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Good for you
Truly
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Schofield, Kumari[133-732-0256]
[11:02 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Since you seem to have everything figured out
What do you think we're supposed to do to stay occupied the whole five months
[11:04 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
We'll figure things out as they come
We always have each other
Perhaps the overseers will leave behind extra activities for us every other day
Or we could try requesting certain things with the sticky notes, if that counts
[11:04 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Wait would that work?
I didn't think about that
Damn I wish I knew what I liked so I could ask for it
[11:05 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari
I wrote a request for something I saw in a TV ad
I'll see if it works in the morning
Until then, I need to get sleep for it to work
[11:07 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Oh yeah it is getting pretty late
But wait aren't you at least going to stay up for the elimination?
[11:11 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Eh. Sleep well
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], UNKNOWN SENDER[133-786-2362]
[11:16 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hello there stranger
Just checking in to see if you’re still awake
[11:17 P.M.] UNKNOWN SENDER
You caught me
I am awake
Though not for very longer
[11:17 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Damn
Everybody is falling asleep and the first elimination is just minutes away
[11:17 P.M.] UNKNOWN SENDER
Wait that’s tonight?
Shit I must have misread the alert
Know what? I'm missing it anyway, my eyes are barely hanging open right now
[11:18 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Oh well
See you tomorrow then
My names Hester btw
[11:18 P.M.] UNKNOWN SENDER
Codie
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Sinclair[133-898-0111]
[11:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.
How many times have you replayed that album
[11:33 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Were you even planning to stay up this late
Theres just half an hour to go
[11:39 P.M.] Sinclair
Dude
What are you still doing awake
It is well past a respectable hour for this
[11:39 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Now there's LESS than half an hour to go
[11:41 P.M.] Sinclair
GO TO BED
STOP MESSAGING ME
[11:41 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Fine
But don't come whining to me if you get eliminated
Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]
[11:47 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Hows the night going
Dying of anticipation?
[11:50 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
.
[11:50 P.M.] Me. Myself.
?
[11:51 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Hester
What the fuck are you doing
[11:51 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What do you mean
[11:53 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WHY ARE YOU MESSAGING ME 50 TIMES AN HOUR
[11:53 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Well I know you didn't miss the fact that we're gonna be here for a very long time
I just noticed that talking to each other is really the only way to get through the months
[11:56 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
There are 145 fucking people and yet I'm the target of all your message bombing
This is not an indication that you're just "talking to people to pass the time" that tells me you're a fucking emotional train wreck desperate for attention
[11:56 P.M.] Me. Myself.
Well
I just want to keep tabs on the people I already met because the elimination is in a few minutes
[11:59 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
The elimination. Is that seriously what you're hung up on
Did you read the alert
You know they're not eliminating people until the second week
[11:59 P.M.] Me. Myself.
What
[12:02 A.M.] Me. Myself.
…
I guess I'm an idiot then
[12:03 A.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed
Jesus christ
Go to fucking sleep
[12:03 A.M.] Me. Myself.
*sigh*
Yup. Will do
