I woke up inside the Chapel and stepped over a slumbering
Momoko as I left toward Trip's Pad.
Hillary Clinton was already in the Waiting Room when I walked inside, but the crystal was not. Hmm. There were a couple of things I wanted to check on the terminal again, and I confirmed my suspicion that the progress bar did *not*reset along with the island. It's up to 70% now - I wonder what will happen when it's done? Nothing good for us, I imagine.
Cooking Mama and
Ainsley Harriott passed through to the Bedroom as I finished up.
After that, I felt like I needed to get my muscles moving, so I started a Manderville Mambo by the Fountain.
Fink walked by and interrupted my dance to hand me...a small, plush version of myself? I wonder if she's an admirer. I continued to dance as
Trip and
ASMR Youtuber approached from House Oliva and watched me for a while, with Madam Clinton also joining us soon after.
Suddenly, Momoko appeared and attacked Trip with a knife, but the boy gave her what for with the swing of a pipe! With his newfound gusto, he's showing the potential to become a real Manderville man. The Big Daddy also ran by, covered in some sort of red substance. and yelled "OOGA BOOGA" at us before running away. I guess he had all his fun already last night? My audience decided they'd seen enough Mandervirility for one night and headed north.
Shoey passed by soon after.
Satisfied with my exercise, I headed to House Bishop and passed
Mother Goose on my way in. The stage was covered in the same red stuff that coated the Big Daddy, and I saw
Grell heading into the Coatroom.
I intended to spend the rest of my night in solitude by fixing the Vault's lock and heading into the Underground Pier, but to my surprise, someone had beaten me to the punch and the door was wide open. Even more surprising was the sight of an
Ape frozen solid in a block of ice, floating in the water of the Pier. I also saw a crate floating off into the distance.
I opened up one of the crates still in the Pier, and the contents confirmed my suspicion about the creature that attacked me on the previous night: an
animatronic zombie lay motionless within. I also noticed that the nailgun here seemed to have been used recently. Peculiar.
I spent the rest of the night meditating as I watched the dark ocean, trying my best to ignore the frozen simian bobbing up and down beside me. What I couldn't ignore, however, was the pair of glowing
red eyes that peered from the darkness of the tunnel at one point. They glared at me, as if annoyed that I'd noticed their presence, then retreated from whence they came. This wasn't the first time I've seen those eyes, either.
As for the individual who wrote the note that Bigfoot found, I appreciate the offer but I'm happily married.
