Jasper:

"Okay..." I put the knife in the fire until it was dull red, then took it out. His smile wasn't that reassuring, but I wasn't going to tell him that. I went over to Alex with Isaac and mentally freaked out a little when I saw how bad it was. "I have the knife..." I said awkwardly, crouching beside Kludd and Alex. I shakily cauterized most of the worst cuts on Alex's face, trying not to cringe.

Kludd-

"Yeah, I got it. But might as well just cover all our bases while we're here." I told Ilyssa, "But will do. Thanks for the directions, its been a while since i've had to treat massive claw wounds. Much easier to do on another person rather than yourself." I said, half sarcastically and half seriously. Of course, it was true, I had dealt with my own, similar large claw wounds after a certain incident in which I was attacked by and turned into a werewolf.

I was about to move alex back to the room with the fireplace so Issac and Jasper could do their thing, but he suddenly started to stir violently, turning pale. I set him down quickly but gently on the ground, which, honestly I would have preferred not to but I realized very quickly was probably the best thing I could have done as he started reaching for his daggers and fighting with the air. I stepped back, waiting for a moment until I got an opportunity to step forward and grab his wrists, snagging the daggers quickly before stepping back again. I just let whatever was happening happen, because I really didnt know what else to do in such a situation. He started emitting blue light and a random womans voice spoke from nowhere. If I didn't know better, I would think this was some sort of wild trip. Maybe, actually, this all was a dream. But so far there was only about a fourth of the amount of blood present as in one of my usual nightmares, so, it was unlikely.

In any case, eventually he stopped, and I was able to move him back into a more accessible location so his wounds could be cauterized. I kept his daggers with me, just in case he had another fit of nightmares- or whatever just happened. He could have them back when he woke up. Jasper walked up to Alex, kneeling next to him.
"Alright, just be careful, he started moving earlier, so be ready in case that happens again."
I noticed as they were working that they were pretty shaky, so I just did the first thing that made sense, crouching beside them and gently grabbing their wrist to steady their hand.
"You're doing alright," I reassured them, though not exactly knowing what the issue was. I just wanted to be sure they didn't burn anything but what needed to be burnt.

Jasper:

I nodded and did my best to cauterize the the wounds. I finished and looked at Alex's face. It didn't look any better, but the bleeding stopped and hey, I didn't pass out! "Is it okay...? I'm not sure it looks any better."

Kludd-

"Its gonna be a shit show no matter what ya do, but the bleedings stopped, so thats good. Thanks kid." I let go of Jasper's wrist, patting him on the shoulder and giving them a small smile. "If you want, you can go ahead and go down through the crawlspace and start looking around down there. Ilyssa's still down there I think." I told them as I cleaned up Alex's face carefully, just wiping off any remaining blood and such, but trying not to touch the recently cauterized wounds if I could help it. I figured it'd be best to leave them mostly alone for now, until they healed a bit more at least. But I did want Jasper to go find something else to do, this really didn't seem like their thing whatsoever. If anything else needed cauterizing, Issac could likely handle it anyway.

Londyn

I patted his back slowly. I may have had a tough grip but most people said I was pretty good at comforting somehow.
"It's okay, and you can have your daggers back in just a little. You're still in shock, Jasper helped you. Actually, everyone helped you." I said softly, trying to soothe him. "And no, your mum wasn't here. You really are in a crapload of shock." I murmured quietly.

Kludd-

Alex suddenly jolts back to life, bolting upright. I recoil my hands back from where I was cleaning up his face.
"Woah, hey there, settle down," I tell him gently, "You're still hurt, lay back down for a minute. There's a bedroom we can move you too in a bit, but, for now just lay down." I sigh softly as Londyn comes over to start comforting him as well. At least I didn't have to do it alone.

"You can get your daggers back once you've calmed down, I promise. You had a nasty dream earlier it seemed like, but no, I don't think she was here." I told him. I had heard the voice and everything, but I wasn't going to tell him about it yet. Not when he was acting like this, it would just be bad. "We're all here for you anyway, so you can rest easy about that."

Isaac:
"He's not bleeding much anymore, so once we move him some of us should explore to find resources now that critical situation is taken care of. We might want someone to keep watch of him, just to be safe. Since the sink gives us a source of water we don't really have to worry about that, but we should find a cup of or something for Alex. Next I'd focus on food primarily then medical supplies. Though I'd like my knife back now, it's a very lovely knife."

"Yeah, here ya go..." I handed Isaac back his knife and stood up. "I'm gonna go with Ilyssa..." I informed everyone, going into the little crawlspace to find Ilyssa. The place was so weirdly designed. Ilyssa was in the bedroom, if you could call it that. "Erm... Need any help with anything...?"

Ilyssa:
“Not really, I’m just exploring. Unless you have a map of this place, than yes.” I opened another door, deciding to just look in. That turned out to be a good idea, as there was a giant fall after the door, which I couldn’t see the end of. Quickly closing it, I scratched a little ‘x’ onto its wood.
“Suggestion, don’t go in there.”

Kludd-

Issac was discussing plans for what we should do next, which they had pretty good ideas about, actually, so I nodded as they spoke.
"Yeah, that all sounds good to me. We can probably take turns watching Alex, unless someone wants to make that their fulltime job. I don't mind to do it most of the time, but I would like to do a bit of exploring. I think I could probably find us some food if nobody gets to it before me." I offered, as being a werewolf did come with some perks, such as enhanced smell, that would be useful for that sort of thing.

I turned back slightly to check on Alex, and finding him looking in a bit of pain, I gently took one of his hands in my own. Mostly ust for comfort, but he could also squeeze it if he felt like that would help deal with the pain.
"Just tell me when you feel like moving down there. You should probably just rest here for a minute, but once you're feeling up to it, I can help you down to the bedroom."

Alex thanks us for keeping him alive, I guess.
"Don't go almost dying again and I'd say we're all even," I try to keep a joking tone, but stuff like this isn't exactly in my program so I'm unsure as how I came across.
Oh well, these things can't be helped, probably. No time existential crisis though. We got surviving to do.

Fillan:

Everything moved around so fast. I decided the best I could do right now was keep out of the way, people didn't need me messing them up, especially not when the situation was so dire. I had pulled a math packet out from under my shirt. I always kept packets on me. I grabbed my mechanical pencil out of the small pocket on my shirt and started working, trying to keep my mind busy on other things.

The young man, who had the mysterious gash on his chest and face, suddenly bolted up and was talking? It didn't look like he was talking to anyone of us however. I thought it was really strange and maybe just a little unnerving, but soon enough he fell back asleep, or unconscious I suppose. Was this something he did regularly or...?

That wasn't all though, as I tried to refocus myself the guy suddenly sat up and started talking about his mother. I wasn't paying the closest attention to any of this, but I'm almost certain that his mother had nothing to do with any of this. The others seemed to act accordingly, settling him down and telling him to lie still. Things seemed to calm down after that and even Kludd and that one girl were working together to help the poor guy. It was a nice scene– the fact they were working together, not that the guy was bleeding out and had potential head trauma based on the things he'd been saying.

I decided to make my approach when everything calmed down. I really didn't want to mess anything up after all, so it was probably best to wait until the chances of me getting in their way were low. I turned to Kludd,
"Maybe we could um, look for food together?" I glanced around the place as I spoke, "I would like to um, explore the mansion as well but it would probably be um, best if we went in a group." I looked back at him,
"If that's alright with you, of course."

Kludd-

"No, absolutely not, I'm just going to leave you here and go off on my own." I said to Fillan, voice absolutely dripping in sarcasm, before laughing slightly. "Nah, im kiddin'. Of course we can go together, don't be silly." I told him, reaching over and patting his shoulder reassuringly. "We'll go as soon as I get this wrapped up."

I waited a while, and when Alex told me he was ready, I took him down to the bedroom we had found earlier. I made sure he was comfortable and settled, before going to talk to Londyn. "Hey, would you mind looking after Alex and keeping him company? I'll be back to take over soon, but I'd appreciate it if you could do that while me and Fillan go look for some food."

Londyn nodded. "Of course." She replied and walked over to Alex. "Hey. You feeling any better? Sorry about, well, everything. Losing my temper, exploding the wall with a diy bomb..." Londyn's voice trailed off.

Isaac:

Welp now that no one is currently dying we really should go find like food and stuff cause we haven't done that. Maybe I should go do something about that, well when in doubt wonder off in a random direction that no one else is going. Which means that hallway without any doors but several holes. And down the hall I go, there's bound to be something here. And sometimes I'm right, there's a dip in the wall. I use my knife to tear the wallpaper around it and there's a door like expected. It's missing the handle, but I use the hole it's supposed to be in to shift the door and it begins to open. Of course, just my luck that it leads to another hallway, though at the end of it is three different paths. I can go forward, left, or right. The right looks to wind around to somewhere else while the left is short with a door at the end. The way forward turns to left after a bit, I'm guessing the hall goes around whatever is connected to the door on the left. Well, might as well start at the dead end.

This door still has its handle and thankfully isn't lock like most doors so far seem to be. Though once again I'm in a hallway, not a dead end then. But this hall goes directly to the right and since I'm here I might as well follow it. The hallway seems to pass through the hallway the forward path had made. But that makes no sense unless it was actually a staircase, but even then that would have to be an incredibly steep staircase and it would most certainly not be up to building regulations. Something is terribly wrong with this place, other than it being housed in a void that apparently likes to go solid and intangible randomly. But regardless of the creepy building that seems to defy physics and the space-time continuum, we still need to find supplies if we want to survive long enough to get out of here.

Going down the hallway there's a door on my right, it's where the hallway in the other path would have led. I wonder if I open this door I will see that hallway? Only one way to find out. I open the door and rather than another hallway there's a small room with only a desk, chair, and computer. The computer is incredibly high tech and I don't think it was from the future with how it looks. It feels out of place in here, everything so far looks like it came from the 1950's, so what is a futuristic computer doing here? I move forward and turn it on. When it finishes booting up it seems to run some sort of program on its own. I guess it was set to turn on at startup.

The program boots up and I person appears on the screen. Their eyes are closed while the bar at the bottom loads up. When it finishes the person opens their eyes and looks right at me and speaks, "Hello! I'm Mirror, it's a pleasure to meet you #IO2288."

What. The. FUCK! "How do you know my model number? Who the hell are you?"

'Mirror' smiles and tilts their head to the side, "I'm an AI known as Mirror. My creator had programmed me with the knowledge of you and the six others that have woken up here. I was designed to assist you seven in your test. I'm sort of like a walkthrough, though I not going to be that helpful," Mirror's voice is light and playfully. Accompanied by a giggle, it makes me feel whoever designed them was trying to hard to make them seem happy and welcoming. Mirror continues to speak, "Though I don't think anyone wants to repeat themselves so if you want to learn much of anything from me you're going to need to get the others. But I can tell you at the very least where the hallways split if you went right instead of left you'd find a kitchen area and it would still be stocked with food since this building realizes it's no longer empty. Goodbye for now," Mirror turns themself and the computer off before I can ask them to explain what they meant but the building knowing there are people inside thus having the kitchen being stocked. I would try turning them back on to ask, but I don't know how long the others have gone without food so that takes priority. I leave the room and go back through the halls to where Mirror had said the kitchen is.

There are several doors in this hall. And though I sort of expected something like this, it's still strange to see there's a kitchen knife carved into one of the doors. And opening it proves that this one is the kitchen Mirror had mentioned. I go through and check the food to make sure it wasn't actually expired. And long and behold all of it is fresh. I pick up an apple and scan it.
[IO2288] analyzing object . . . 80% water, 10% carbohydrates, 4% vitamins and minerals. contains about 40 calories. contains traces of cyanide in the core.
[IO2288] analyzes complete . . . object falls under the label of "apple"
So that proves it's also real, not some fake plastic or manipulated material. So it's probably safe for consumption. I bring it with me as I head back to the others. Walking in, I throw the apple into the air, "I do believe I've found something," catching the apple in one hand as I finish the statement.
