CURTAIN ROOM: SUB-LEVEL OBSERVED WITHIN THE BACKROOMS, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS LEVEL 0.1 N. THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER, ALONG WITH JJ, HAS BEEN OBSERVED WITHIN THIS SPACE FOLLOWING A NO-CLIP INTO THE WALL OF PREVIOUS LEVEL.
that was a no-clip? i just think of it as falling, to be honest. So, this is a sub-level?
LEVEL STRUCTURE SHARES MANY CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS PARENT LEVEL, INCLUDING CEILING LIGHT ARRANGEMENTS AND LACK OF STRUCTURAL STABILITY, BUT DEVIATES FROM LEVEL 0 N IN ITS NON-UNIFORM CARPET PATTERN AND BROWN CURTAINS COVERING EACH WALL.
JJ IS OBSERVED TO APPROACH THE CURTAINS, SEEMINGLY DUE TO CURIOSITY, AND GRABBING AT THE BOTTOM EDGE, ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE CLOTH UPWARDS. RAISING THE CURTAINS REVEALS A DARK SPACE BEHIND IT, HENCEFORTH REFERRED TO AS THE ABYSS. THE ABYSS'S COMPOSITION IS UNIFORM, WITH NO LIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE SPACE. IT IS ASSUMED THIS DARKNESS IS INESCAPABLE IF ENTERED FULLY.
DESPITE APPEARING CONTINUOUS, CURTAIN EDGES ARE ABLE TO BE RARELY OBSERVED WITHIN THIS LEVEL. UNLIKE STANDARD CURTAINS OF THIS LEVEL, HOISTING THESE EDGES UPWARDS REVEALS AN ACTUAL WALL, UTILIZING THE SAME WALLPAPER CHARACTERISTIC OF PARENT LEVEL. FOLLOWING CURTAIN EDGE TO ITS ENDPOINT DOES NOT LEAD TO THE AFOREMENTIONED ABYSS BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
oh? i can feel something beneath this curtain edge.
PRESENCE OF ITEMS EMBEDDED INTO THE WALL CAN BE OBSERVED. DUE TO THEIR POSITION WITHIN THE WALL, MOST OF THESE ITEMS ARE RENDERED UNUSABLE. A LIST OF ITEM TYPES DISCOVERED BY THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER AND JJ IS DOCUMENTED BELOW.
ALMOND LIQUID: USUALLY OBSERVED WITHIN EMBEDDED BOTTLE AND JAR CONTAINERS, THOUGH HOLES IN THE WALL DRIPPING WITHIN THIS LIQUID HAS ALSO BEEN NOTED. ONE TESTIMONY EVEN REPORTS AN ALMOND LIQUID-DISPENSING MACHINE BURIED WITHIN THE LEVEL'S WALLS. COLLECTION OF THIS LIQUID CAN BE ACHIEVED IF THEIR CURRENT FORM IS EMBEDDED IN A CONVENIENT POSITION, THOUGH CAUTION IS ADVISED AS OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE REPLACED BY A LIQUID CONTAIN CORROSIVE AND TOXIC QUALITIES.
uh... i don't think i need to drink for a while. do you need it?
THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER IS OBSERVED TO SUSTAIN ITSELF THROUGH MINIMAL RESOURCES ENCOUNTERED DURING ITS EXPLORATIONS. AS OF CURRENT DOCUMENTATION, THE ROTWATCHER'S HEALTH IS IN STABLE CONDITION, WITH NO NEED FOR RESOURCE GATHERING.
okay, good.
LIGHTNING OBSERVATION DEVICES: INCLUDES BOTH STATIONARY SURVEILLANCE DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE WALL AND PORTABLE RECORDING DEVICES EMBEDDED WITHIN. MOST OBSERVED INSTANCES LACK ANY POWER, THOUGH OCCASIONALLY ONES WITH SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS OF LIGHTNING IS OBSERVED. THESE POWERED DEVICES MAY OCCASIONALLY CONTAIN FOOTAGE DATA, THOUGH MOST OF IT IS INCOHERENT.
and loud. there's voices too, and most of it's a lot of frightened screaming.
NOTES: DESIGNATION FOR EMBEDDED PHYSICAL WRITING, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL NOTICES, SIGNS, AND NOTEBOOKS. MOST ARE ILLEGIBLE ON ACCOUNTS OF THEIR POSITION, RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE FULL TEXT ON THESE NOTES. THOSE THAT ARE LEGIBLE OFTEN CONTAIN NONSENSICAL MESSAGES. IT IS POSSIBLE THESE NOTES ORIGINATED FROM PRECEDING WANDERERS WITHIN THIS LEVEL; IF THIS IS TRUE, HOWEVER, THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THESE NOTES IS NOT UNDERSTOOD.
'hold your head from here'... hey, do you think it has to do with this guy over there? i thought they were a human, but...
EMBEDDED COUSIN: DESIGNATION FOR BODIES BEARING PHYSICAL SIMILARITY TO BRIGHT COUSINS, THEIR HEADS OBSERVED TO BE APPARENTLY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE WALL. THOUGH A PULSE CAN BE DETECTED FROM AREAS SUCH AS THE WRIST AND NECK AREA, IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHETHER THEY ARE LIVING ENTITIES OR NOT; IN ADDITION, IT IS POSSIBLE THESE BODIES ARE REMNANTS OF FORMER WANDERERS. AN EMBEDDED COUSIN MAY DISPLAY SLIGHT PHYSICAL MOVEMENTS IN REACTION TO TOUCH AND SURROUNDING SOUNDS. RESOURCES CAN BE OBTAINED FROM EMBEDDED COUSINS THAT CARRY SOME.
don't think i can pull them out... what a shame.
found a granola bar and a flashlight. better than nothing, i guess. so, what next?
THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER IS ABLE TO OBSERVE A SLIGHT INSTABILITY IN THE WALL BEHIND THE CURTAIN'S EDGE. THIS MAKES THIS SPOT CAPABLE OF PERFORMING A NO-CLIP INTO, WHICH WILL LEAD TO LOCATIONAL EXCHANGE TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
okay, sure. grab on.
