Survival is Key V-1.1 (Open Partially-Started)

"Alright. I'm stumped."

Louis wipes the blade clean with his shirt and closes it. He slips it back in his right pocket.

He walks back to the bathroom and rinses the blood off his hand with icy cold water. He grabs a hand towel and lets it soak under the faucet. He wrings it out and wraps it around his hand, applying pressure for about twenty minutes.

That should stop the bleeding.

He goes back to his room and looks at the canvas.

"I'm missing something."

He thinks back to the card.

Put Passion On My Canvas

He thinks the phrase over. It takes him a while to realize. Maybe he's putting too much thought into this.

"... It can't be that simple."

Louis gets to work. He sets out a dry spot above the hand-print and carves the word into the paper with his knife.

Never Twice

*Failure to comply will result in failure I'm afraid. I can drop a hint but I dock 20 points

The canvas is now very messed up and nigh but impossible to do anything to from here on involving writing/painting/ or generally art work. It was hard pressed to write it in for that matter.

<spoiler=WYS>Kirelia hears a small explosion come from the closet, and goes to investigate. Huh, so the vault was booby trapped. She thought to herself. Probably a good thing I didn't play with it any more, otherwise this hole would be where my legs were. She picked up the mouse, to make sure it was ok. It was a little burnt, but otherwise unharmed. It should be alright in my inside coat pocket... There's quite a bit of room, and he should be comfortable in there.

She decided to do a quick double check of the room for anything she missed, including leafing through the bible for any info on her location that someone may have forgotten in it, before worming her way down the hole.

*Down The Rabbit Hole... In the second floor (I assume you pocket stunned mouse) to the first, there's not a sign of moisture to quench your thirst. (JK)

Wood, lots and lots of wooden boards are there on the first floor room, everything is blocked off or removed with wood. It is a tight fit but you can just make it to the door covered by! guess what! Wooden Planks and nails, thanks to a keen eye though the hinges look rusted and it could easily fall outwards given some wear/tear.

You never mentioned we were being scored. And you never mentioned we couldn't do anything twice.

Can we get some rules or something? This game is getting vaguer by the minute.

 

[Malyc]

Kirelia made it down to the first floor without a hitch. Jeez, it's almost like this guy doesn't want us leaving... She checked the hinges, and noticed that they had been a while without oil. Well, let's just see if we can't break this door down, shall we? She worked at prying the hingepins out with the spine of here knife, saving the blade for when later, before attempting to kick the door down.

<spoiler=I'm Joking about points>And every room has a unique or different puzzle. I don't do things twice. Here's the hint _________ Passion. Freebie.

*FREEDOM!

The door falls down and you are free to leave. Read the round one post for what is outside, you are on the first floor by the way.

<spoiler=Gone for Now>I Gtg people back in some hours around 3 pm going by West Coast US.

 

[RaNDM G]

Spoiler: You were...

Spoiler: ... joking?

Spoiler: Ha... Ha ha ha...

Spoiler: A ha ha ha ha ha...

Anger boils inside his chest and bile rises in his throat. Louis screams at the top of his lungs.

[HEADING=2]"YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!"[/HEADING]

He chuckles to himself. That line was classic.

Louis walks back to the bathroom and tosses the towel on the floor. He cleans the blood off his hand and wraps a bandage around the wound.

Okay. If it doesn't have to do with the painting, it's gotta be something else in this room. The question is...

"What?"

A loud bang. Maybe not loud, but definitely surprising. The noise scares the metaphorical shit out of Louis, and he loses his footing. He holds on to a doorknob and catches his fall.

Sounded like a bomb. Someone must be stuck here too.

A grim thought comes to his mind. Now you really gotta get out.

Christ, I could really use a miracle right now.

Heh. Like you expect prayer to work. You've dealt with some fucked up shit in the past. Kidnapping, rape, serial murder, terrorism. Matters of national security.

But even when you could see when and where, no matter how fast you acted, no matter how many crooks you caught, no matter how much you begged the Lord, you could never do anything to stop them. You were always a second too late.

All because of that stupid book.

Shut up.

Whatever you say, mate.

Wait... Book.

Louis heads back to the nightstand. He takes the bible from the drawer and turns to the Gospels.

Tristan looks a litlle bit confused.
"well i might as well do wat i am being told".
he grab's the things that he found and start's to try to do what he is said.
After he is done he put's the things back in his backpack.
"WELL HOW IS IT !!"
(It looks kinda alright not really beautiful but also not ugly Tristan has some expirience with these kind of things.)
(He tries to paint the Mona Lisa and underneath paint's the word masterpiece).
now that i think about it i wonder who this Leon is i don't think i know a Loen what happend yesterday i can't remember.

OOC: are we in the same building so if we escape the room we meet each other or are there like 5 building each with 2 people ?

 

[ShindoL Shill]

James looks around. Why is there a blank painting? Unless... maybe it's one of those trick ones you heat up to see the image.
He grabs the deodorant, a cotton bud and the lamp bulb, which he smashes off the wall. He turns on the lamp, and sticks the cotton bud in the spark until it ignites, then sprays deodorant on it.
He holds the stream of fire near the painting, heating it up slowly (it wouldn't actually be hot enough to ignite the paper like this).

"Fuck!" Richard tossed the mangled piece of metal aside.

Appearantly disposable razors don't make good screwdrivers, who knew?

Richard searches the room for anything that could make a good screwdriver.

 

[LavaLampBamboo]

Connor has grown bored of waiting for something to happen, so he starts looking around the room for anything to do. He re-reads the card a few times, briefly explores the bathroom, then discovers the vault in the closet. He tries to open it.

He briefly investigates the painting and the plaque, but nothing comes of it. He rubs the painting hard with his hand to check if it's been painted over.

*Piper is almost finished her Snickers bar when a revelation hits her...*

You know, it might be a while before we get any food. Maybe we should take it easy and save some for when we really need it. Who knows how long this Leon guy is gonna keep us here anyways...
"...then again, I'm almost done the Snickers... so I'll just leave it here, search around and then come back and eat it! :3"

*She places the Snickers on the deck of the 2nd floor and walks off, following the 2nd floor deck around the building*

"Lets start by getting to ground floor...I mean, there must be a staircase to the first floor right? We are in a hotel, and people usually build hotels with 'People getting to the first floor from the second' in mind... Right!?"
But let's not forget, this guy is a crazy bastard. I wouldn't put it past him to block or destroy the staircase down just to be a prick

After ripping the blank canvas away from the wall with anticipation.. Josh was confronted with nothing.
I don't like this place..
Taking another look at the letter that was left for him...
Just that plaque on the wall to go..
After staring at it for several seconds he noticed it was held on by screws.. Taking out the shank from his back pocket he began to get to work.

*The explosion was a shaped and rather quiet charge dude, sorry if that was unclear in typing.
If anyone wants to help him out feel free, this is really one of the easier puzzles and the clue _______ Passion is like fill in the blank here.

*A Faint beep has occurred, you have gotten the key, this was one of the "Literal-ish" puzzles so congrats. Read round 1 post to find out what is what on the outside.

Down the stairs leads to the parking lot and the path to the back alley, the sound of muttering is heard around the corner near the motel's sign. "Amibie adefuo grgse eeida. Nuts! hmmmmmm Sweet." And the rest is babble from the male voice.

On the Second floor a mouse is happily eating the bar.

You heareth foot steps to thine right. From a staircase, and the distant clink/muttering.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

*Happy that the stairs aren't mangled and are actually climbable, Piper returned to grab her Snickers only to find a small mouse-thing snacking on it. She slowly approaches it.*

"Well hello there little critter! What are you doin up here?"
And what the hell do you think your doing eating my Snickers you rodent bastard!!!"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

James looks around. What the fuck is wrong with this guy... he must be hiding something...
He sets to work wrecking everything. He takes a large shard of glass and cuts open the mattress, then smashes the other table into the wall, then throws the painting at the wall. Then James moves into the bathroom, and takes the lid off the toilet tank.
