Howzit, everyone? Holding up okay, I hope? I heard about the Mrs. Aka situation. I hope #35 is doing okay. Well, I mean, I saw she was doing okay yesterday except for the whole house arrest thing. I don’t know her home situation, but I get it. It seems too simple to say parents don’t understand but… sometimes they really don’t. They can’t. But they still have to balance doing what they think is right, even when it’s wrong because the world outside their home doesn’t care what’s right or wrong. #35 was actually in trouble, after all. I get why they’d want to keep her safe. I’m sure #53 can figure out some sort of way to shill things for her parents, though, right? We’ll figure out something, I’m sure.
I just got word, and it seems like things will be starting sooner rather than later. As I mentioned last week, I acted on emotion rather than reason. I wanted to regain some control, and I felt the best way to do so would be to introduce a healthy dose of chaos. The Open Doors Church has been manipulating things far too easily lately, and win or lose, this will certainly throw a wrench in their well-laid plans. Of course, I can’t understate how important winning is.


As for Mr. Trigano, he’s doing better. He’s started to stir a bit more, though he’s still only managing a few hushed fragments at a time. From what he’s said, it sounds like he’s very concerned about his cousins. Of course, I don’t want to push him about the whole House of Seth business. Not right now, anyway. Though, Mrs. Middletown is still out there and likely still hunting for her next “promotion.” Also, Mrs. Pleasant factors in somehow, I’m sure, though she’s been sticking to the Church like a moth to a flame.
Complexico, the Gameshow Host, brings a strange assortment of quasi-riddles he calls “Complexities.” The first to solve them all wins a prize. Complexico’s prizes are often known to tip the scales one way or the other. I’m hoping that it’s something nice, but not too nice, if we end up losing. Complexico has only been released from his Cancellation Clause for around a week, so I can’t imagine the prize he’s found can be all that good. Still, we can’t take this game lightly. Also, by the by, you <b><i>have</b></i> to play. There’s no saying no to Complexico once he starts a game. That’s a certain way to end up dead.


I’m hoping Mr. Trigano will be more or less back to his usual self in another week or so. Even if we haven’t been able to talk much, it’s been nice spending time with him again. I hope he’ll feel the same way when he fully wakes up. I think in the worst case he’ll be mad that I wasted time taking care of him when I should have been getting somewhere safe. But… I think I’m safest wherever he is.
But have fun! It is a game show, after all, if a bit of a strange one. While Complexico should never, ever, ever be trusted, he is… affable… underneath his oversized question mark mascot head. I wouldn’t have brought him back if he wouldn’t be useful to us. I’ve played his games before, though I doubt my past experience will be of any help. His “complexities” don’t exactly follow any conventional logic, though he’s good at making them seem like they do. Also, sorry we have to solve more riddles so soon after our last bout of life-or-death trivia.


Uh, well, anyway, I’ll send out another update once he’s lucid again. I’d like to know what’s happening with Mrs. Middletown and Mrs. Pleasant’s weird feud.</span>

THE OWNER

I just got word, and it seems like things will be starting sooner rather than later. As I mentioned last week, I acted on emotion rather than reason. I wanted to regain some control, and I felt the best way to do so would be to introduce a healthy dose of chaos. The Open Doors Church has been manipulating things far too easily lately, and win or lose, this will certainly throw a wrench in their well-laid plans. Of course, I can’t understate how important winning is.

Complexico, the Gameshow Host, brings a strange assortment of quasi-riddles he calls “Complexities.” The first to solve them all wins a prize. Complexico’s prizes are often known to tip the scales one way or the other. I’m hoping that it’s something nice, but not too nice, if we end up losing. Complexico has only been released from his Cancellation Clause for around a week, so I can’t imagine the prize he’s found can be all that good. Still, we can’t take this game lightly. Also, by the by, you have to play. There’s no saying no to Complexico once he starts a game. That’s a certain way to end up dead.

But have fun! It is a game show, after all, if a bit of a strange one. While Complexico should never, ever, ever be trusted, he is… affable… underneath his oversized question mark mascot head. I wouldn’t have brought him back if he wouldn’t be useful to us. I’ve played his games before, though I doubt my past experience will be of any help. His “complexities” don’t exactly follow any conventional logic, though he’s good at making them seem like they do. Also, sorry we have to solve more riddles so soon after our last bout of life-or-death trivia.
