Zero Divide - Episode #1 - "Looking Glass"

[Hammerhead]

Outside

"Tomorrow Haven might be the one filling us in, while the rest of us are acting clueless. So let's be nice, alright?"

"What we know is that someone is taking away our memories. The last thing I remembered, before the blackout, was a stranger called Mira coming in and telling us about the outside world. And I'm with Dee...I don't trust Vanessa, but killing her...or anyone...is off the table." For now. And if we are still being monitored, better they think they're safe.

"Also, I think I remember something of who I was. I was involved in a lawsuit against a company called 'VSC,' does that ring any bells? If I don't remember anything tomorrow, try and jog my memory with that."

"Anyway, we need to get the hell away from here. If this world isn't real, then it must have boundaries. And if it is, well, we're free. We can come back and help Alan later, once we've figured out what's going on here. Haven, you think you can do something to get us out of here?"

While talking, Michael's duplicate walks towards the wall, pulling the butter knife out of his sleeve and scratching into the stone, forming the word "REMEMBER."

Upstairs

Michael heads upstairs when Vanessa calls for help, putting his strength against it, trying to set it right. While doing so, he looks around the room, trying to ascertain something of its function or character. "Just redecorating," he asks casually. "Or are you up to something more sinister: trying to get us to start reading?"

 

[Victim]

(I'm not sure if we'd have reached the wall yet, but if so

Ashley grabs a rock and launches it up and over the wall - at least that's where she's aiming. "Hey, are you the real Michael, or a copy?"

 

[Hammerhead]

Michael pauses for a moment to create another copy, who walks forward. "I'm certainly not the real one. What's the plan?"

 

[Shalimar]

"So our memories are being wiped out everyday at the the end of the day to keep us continuously foggy and in the dark?" Haven asks.

"Thats just not ool, I mean what if any of us got togeter? Would we just all forget it the next day? That is so wrong." the blue haired teen said, sounding serious for the first time.

"Do you want me to just rip the wall out of the ground? I can do it and we could walk out at any time."

 

[Shayuri]

"It seems more like they blank us when we start to challenge this place, or when we seem to learn, or remember too much," Facade says. "At least, that's what it seemed like this last time."

 

[Velmont]

"Wait a second... what magazine are you talking about? And who is Mira?" asks Ian, confused by all these inputs. "And why Vanessa would be working against us... or on us. She's been helping us since we arrive. She tries to help us remember. It make no sense she want us to forget."

 

[Vanifae]

"Wait a second... what magazine are you talking about? And who is Mira?" asks Ian, confused by all these inputs. "And why Vanessa would be working against us... or on us. She's been helping us since we arrive. She tries to help us remember. It make no sense she want us to forget."

His words make sense to Haven, Vanessa has never been any but nice to the group, it just does not make sen for her to be doing this...

Dee looks at Haven, "You really are an idiot, do you think that ripping the wall down and walking out of here will solve this, by the time you break the threshold see some freedom we will be right back in our beds. Perhaps then none of us will remember... and we will right back to where we were. I am surprised that something has not happened already. Maybe it is a defense, it relies on actual action, I mean let’s assume that they can hear us… they know we are conspiring but unless we act on it, the defense will do nothing.”

When Ashley throws the rock over the wall, it sails over and lands with a soft thud on the other side.

When Michael mentions VSC, it rings a bell for everyone… though you are not sure why. But the word/name sounds familiar. Maybe it stood for something?

Dee nods, “Yeah VSC sounds familiar to me… not sure why though.” Dee then adds with a look to the Estate, "Maybe it isn't Vanessa... maybe it's one of us..."

 

[Vanifae]

"That sounds rather sudden? Why?"

On a lark, he sees if he can dismiss the offending bookcase the same way he can objects he knows he's created.

The bookcase is still there.

Vanessa shrugs, "I just felt it would be better moved over there," she gestures, "people rearrange their homes all the time."

 

[James Heard]

Alan laughs.

"At least we know you're a fully functional female. The next thing you'll try to sell us on is that "three hour shopping trips are completely normal, even if we don't buy a single item."

Alan shakes his head in amusement and goes to help everyone moving the bookcase, dismissing his impromptu supports when everything is in place.
