MOURN: LEVEL OBSERVED WITHIN THE BACKROOMS, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS LEVEL 763 N. THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER IS OBSERVED WITHIN THIS SPACE FOLLOWING EMERGENCE FROM TEMPORARY STASIS, WHICH IT HAD ENTERED IN THE PREVIOUS LEVEL IT WAS LOCATED. IT IS ASSUMED THE ACTIONS IT HAD UNWITTINGLY PERFORMED IN PREVIOUS LEVEL FUNCTIONED AS AN ENTRYWAY.
LEVEL STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF INFINITELY INTERCONNECTED ROOMS OF VARYING CULTURAL STYLES. ADJACENT ROOMS ARE CONNECTED THROUGH USE OF TWO OR MORE SLIDING DOOR FRAMES WITHIN EACH ROOM. ALL ROOMS POSSESS CLOTHING STACKED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM. DESPITE THE MESSY LAYOUT, ROOM SURFACES ARE REPORTED TO BE CLEAN OF ANY DUST OR DEBRIS.
CONTENTS OF CLOTHING PILES RANGE FROM CASUAL, FORMAL, SEASONAL, AND UNDERGARMENTS; IN ESSENCE, PILES SEEM TO CONTAIN NEARLY EVERY TYPE OF CLOTHING AN INDIVIDUAL MAY POSSESS. CLOTHING FOUND IS MOSTLY OBSERVED TO BE FOR THOSE OF OLDER AGE, THOUGH CLOTHING FOR YOUNG BRIGHT-LARVALS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. CLOTHING IN PILES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED TO FUNCTION AS INTENDED, BUT AN INCENSE SMELL HEAVILY PERMEATES EACH ARTICLE.
OTHER NON-CLOTHING ITEMS COMMONLY SIGHTED THROUGHOUT THE LEVEL INCLUDE WORN CLEANING SUPPLIES, HOBBY ITEMS SUCH AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND SPORTS EQUIPMENT, EMPTY CONTAINERS UNDERNEATH DISPOSAL BAGS FULL OF CLOTHING, AND PHOTO ALBUMS. FOR THE LATTERMOST OBJECT, ALL PHOTOS CONTAIN AN UNNATURAL BLANK. NO OTHER FURNITURE IS PRESENT WITHIN THESE ROOMS, BEING THE ONLY COMMON FEATURE AMONG ALL ROOMS WITHIN LEVEL 763 N. CLOTHING STORAGE UNITS ARE ALL LEFT WIDE OPEN, DEVOID OF ANYTHING INSIDE. WINDOWS ARE ALSO OBSERVED WITHIN THE ROOMS, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE OPENED.
LEVEL 763 N'S ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS ARE KEPT RELATIVELY COMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT. LIGHT SOURCES ARE ON WHEN ONE FIRST ENTERS THIS LEVEL AND ARE ABLE TO BE SWITCHED OFF USING CORRESPONDING BUTTONS. VARIOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS ARE ALSO ACCESSIBLE FREELY THROUGHOUT THE LEVEL, THOUGH CONNECTION IS EASILY LOST IF A WANDERER HAPPENS TO RELOCATE TO ANOTHER ROOM. FOOD RESOURCES IN THE FORM OF GRAIN CRACKERS ARE ALSO OBSERVED, WITH DRY ONES BEING SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION, ALONG WITH BAGS OF OTHER USEFUL RESOURCES.
PRESENCE OF INTERIOR TYPE DEVIATING FROM PRIMARY ROOMS WITHIN LEVEL 763 N, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS THE CHILDREN'S ROOM. ROOM SHARES SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS WITH PRIMARY ROOMS IN BEING EMPTY OF FURNITURE, BUT DEVIATES IN POSSESSING PILES OF ITEMS MEANT FOR YOUNG BRIGHT-LARVALS KNOWN AS CHILDREN, RATHER THAN ARTICLES OF CLOTHING. PILES ARE STACKED SIMILAR TO THAT OF A SPIRE, PROVIDING ENOUGH SPACE TO ALLOW FOR PASSAGE. METHOD OF STACKING IS UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO CAUSE COLLAPSE IN SPIRE-LIKE PILES EVEN IF A WANDERER IS CAREFUL IN THEIR MOVEMENTS. ITEMS HAVE UNDERGONE VARYING DEGREES OF DETERIORATION, LOSING MUCH OF THEIR ORIGINAL APPEARANCE AND FUNCTIONS.
THOUGH THESE ITEMS OFTEN DO NOT POSSESS ANY USE FOR SURVIVAL IN THE BACKROOMS, THE ROTWATCHER WAS OBSERVED TO DISPLAY INTEREST IN THESE ITEMS. A LIST OF ITEMS THE ROTWATCHER HAS DISCOVERED IS PROVIDED BELOW:
BOOKS: EXAMPLES INCLUDE ONES FULL OF PICTURES, KNOWLEDGEABLE REFERENCE WORKS, AND GRAPHIC NOVELS. INSTANCES USUALLY CONTAIN CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS STAINING, FADED PAGE CONTENTS, AND MISSING PAGES. UNNATURAL DETERIORATION IS ALSO OBSERVED IN FORM OF CONGLOMERATION OF BOOK TYPES, SUCH AS PICTURE BOOK PAGES INCORPORATED INTO A REFERENCE WORK.
BOX-SHAPED MASS: CONSTRUCTED OUT OF EDUCATIONAL TOY BLOCKS. OUTER SURFACE IS OBSERVED TO BEAR ROUGH SCRATCHES. INTERIOR OF MASS REVEALS A TOTAL OF TWENTY BONY JAW STRUCTURES, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS TEETH, SEALED IN A SMALL SPHERICAL CAPSULE. TEETH STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR TO THOSE BELONGING TO RECENTLY-BORN BRIGHT COUSINS, THOUGH CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL PIECES INCLUDE COMPOSITION OF HARD EARTH METALS SUCH AS SILVER.
SCHOOLBAG: PORTABLE CONTAINER DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT EDUCATIONAL OBJECTS, THOUGH THE TORN STRAP ON THIS INSTANCE LOWERS ITS UTILITY. SCHOOLBAG IS OBSERVED TO BE FULLY CONTAINED WITH UNUSABLE DISPOSABLE HANDKERCHIEFS.
HOBBY ITEMS: CONSISTS OF FIGURINES AND TOYS, POSSESSING DAMAGED OR MISSING COMPONENTS. UNNATURAL ASPECTS ARE ALSO OBSERVED, EXAMPLES INCLUDING THAT OF A JUMPING ROPE WRAPPED AROUND THE BASE OF A FAKE SPELL-CASTING TOOL AND MISPLACEMENT OF A AUTOMATON MODEL'S LOWER HALF BEING ATTACHED TO THE BASE OF A SPINNING TOY.
CONSOLE: MACHINE ABLE TO PROJECT A FALSE ENVIRONMENT, THOUGH THIS INSTANCE POSSESSED A BLACK LINE STRAIGHT ACROSS ITS SCREEN. EXAMPLES OF FALSE ENVIRONMENTS PROJECTED BY CONSOLE RESEMBLES THOSE IN THE BRIGHT STAGE; HOWEVER, SCREEN IS FIXED ON THE VERY END OF THE ENVIRONMENT, WITH THE CONSOLE UNABLE TO REGISTER ANY BUTTON INPUT. OCCASIONALLY, OTHER LIGHTNING DEVICES ARE OBSERVED TO BE INSERTED INTO A MACHINE SLIT.
SOFT BRIGHT-FAUNA TOY: ALSO REFERENCED TO AS A STUFFED ANIMAL, AS RECENTLY DISCOVERED BY THE CURRENT ROTWATCHER. EXTERIOR IS DARKENED SLIGHTLY, AS IF COVERED WITH GRIME. INTERIOR OF STUFFED ANIMAL IS OBSERVED TO NOT BE FILLED WITH SOFT MATERIAL BUT INSTEAD HARDENED BRIGHT-GROUND PARASITE FRUITS KNOWN AS ACORNS. IT IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN IF THESE ACORNS ARE SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ATTEMPT CONSUMPTION OF ACORNS ONLY IF THERE ARE NO OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE.
REFLECTIVE SQUARE: POSSESSES A BLACK FRAMING AND DECORATED WITH A BLACK RIBBON AND RIBBON-LIKE PAPER FLANKING THIS RIBBON AT THE FRAME'S TOP. UNLIKE OTHER DOCUMENTED OBJECTS IN THIS ROOM, THIS INSTANCE POSSESSES LITTLE DETERIORATION.
CHILDREN'S ROOM ALSO SEEMINGLY POSSESSES A PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT ON THOSE WHO ENTER ITS SPACE, AS MESSAGES LEFT IN THESE ROOMS STATE THE WRITER HAVING LOST THE DESIRE TO RETURN TO THE BRIGHT STAGE AND HAS RESIGNED TO EXIST IN THE BACKROOMS FOR THE REMAINING DURATION OF THEIR LIFESPANS. YOUNG WANDERERS IN PARTICULAR ARE DOCUMENTED TO HAVE LOST ANY DESIRE TO REUNITE WITH THEIR GUARDIANS. COMBINED WITH A LACK OF VIABLE RESOURCES, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID ROOMS WITHOUT CLOTHING IF POSSIBLE.
PRESENCE OF ENTITY NATIVE TO THIS LEVEL HAS BEEN OBSERVED, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS CLEANERS. ENTITY APPEARANCE RESEMBLES THAT OF A SPHERICAL SURFACE-CLEANING GOLEMS MADE OF DEAD METAL, COMMONLY FOUND IN HOMES ON THE BRIGHT STAGE. MODELS VARY BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL INSTANCES, THOUGH ALL ARE UNIFORMLY BLACK BARRING ONE EXCEPTION.
STANDARD BEHAVIOR IS CONSISTENT WITH STANDARD SURFACE-CLEANER FUNCTION, DESPITE THERE BEING NOTHING TO CLEAN WITHIN THIS LEVEL. REPORTS OF CLEANERS COLLIDING INSISTENTLY INTO CHILDREN ROOM'S PILES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED. WHEN A WANDERER IS DETECTED IN ITS PRESENCES, CLEANERS WILL INTERRUPT STANDARD BEHAVIOR TO APPROACH THE WANDERER, EMITTING A LOUD WHIRRING NOISE. CLEANERS WILL THEN PROCEED TO REPEATEDLY RAM ITSELF INTO THE WANDERER'S LOWEST EXTREMITY; HOWEVER, AS CLEANERS OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES ARE AS LOW AS ITS BRIGHT STAGE COUNTERPARTS, THE WANDERER EXPERIENCES NONEXISTENT DAMAGE FROM THIS ATTACK. AFTER A WHILE, CLEANERS ARE OBSERVED TO CEASE OFFENSE AND RETURN TO STANDARD BEHAVIOR.
UNUSUAL INSTANCE OF CLEANERS HAS BEEN DIRECTLY OBSERVED BY THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER. EXCEPTIONAL INSTANCE APPEARANCE DIFFERS FROM STANDARD CLEANERS IN BOTH APPEARANCE AND BEHAVIOR. COLOR SCHEME UTILIZES CYAN AND MAGENTA RATHER THAN UNIFORM BLACK, AND SIZE IS COMPARATIVELY MUCH SMALLER THAN USUAL CLEANER INSTANCES. BEHAVIOR IS COMPARATIVELY MUCH MORE ERRATIC AS WELL, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT MANAGED TO DETECT THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER'S PRESENCE. WHEREAS STANDARD CLEANER INSTANCES WERE OBSERVED TO RETURN TO USUAL BEHAVIOR AFTER CIRCLING AROUND THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER, THE UNUSUAL CLEANER WAS OBSERVED TO CIRCLE THE ROTWATCHER CONTINUOUSLY. SOUNDS EMITTED FROM THIS UNUSUAL CLEANER ALSO DEVIATES IN BEING REPLACED WITH INSISTENT BEEPING NOISES.
BASED ON ITS BEHAVIOR, THERE IS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT THIS UNUSUAL CLEANER POSSESSES A HIGHER DEGREE OF SENTIENCE IN COMPARISON TO STANDARD INSTANCES. THEREFORE, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE UNUSUAL CLEANER'S BEHAVIOR IS A FORM OF ATTEMPTED COMMUNICATION WITH THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, THE ROTWATCHER WAS OBSERVED TO BE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH PROPER COMMUNICATION WITH THE UNUSUAL CLEANER. IT IS ASSUMED TO BE DUE TO THE ROTWATCHER'S INABILITY TO CONNECT WITH DEAD METAL.
UNFORTUNATELY, FURTHER STUDY INTO THIS INSTANCE IS INDEFINITELY HALTED DUE TO THE SUBJECTED ROTWATCHER'S RELOCATION TO ANOTHER LEVEL. THIS LOCATIONAL EXCHANGE WAS OBSERVED TO NOT BE INTENTIONAL ON THE ROTWATCHER'S PART, AS IT WAS STILL EXPLORING THE LEVEL'S LAYOUT. HOWEVER, AFTER IT CHECKED A CLOSET WITHIN ONE OF THE ROOMS, THE ROTWATCHER WAS OBSERVED TO EMERGE FROM THE CLOSET INTO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT INTERIOR, THE UNUSUAL CLEANER NOTABLY ABSENT. THE MOST PROMINENT CHANGE IS THAT ITS WINDOWS WERE NO LONGER SHUT, ALLOWING VIEW OF A ROAD. THEREFORE, THE ROTWATCHER CONCLUDES IT HAD UNDERGONE LOCATIONAL EXCHANGE INTO A NEW LEVEL.
