Despite his apparent lack of findings, Alexander kept looking.
"Come on! There's got to be something to use as clothes, at the least!"

Go back see if he's there and run him over, and drink his gun!

((Sorry! I was in a hurry when I made the post this morning!))
Your search merely turns up the bloody, torn, uncomfortable clothes on the corpses.

"Or not. Hmm... Lets see... What could I possibly do now..."
He decided to go back to looking for a way out of the room.

Alex:
Well, you could always jump out the window...
But no. You spot another barricaded window on the same side as the first window you opened. It looks to be the only other window.

Look through the remaining few foot lockers.

Deciding to just get moving, he tried to jump out the window.
"Oh dear... Alright, let's do this thing!"

Alex:
I WAS JOKING!
You jump out the boarded up window, which puts you on the roof next to it. The crashing and splintering of wood produces a loud sound that turns the heads of many pairs of eyes. You hear something, very faintly over the rain. It sounds like thousands of insects and birds chirping in muted cacophony, punctuated by screams and wind.

Ralu:
The fifth of ten contains a note and an audio recorder.

Alex muttered to himself, and hearing the faint sound, he decided to keep going along the roof, and away from the section he was just in.

Aaktuvus jumps up and vaults through the window after Alex.
"Hey! Don't just leave me alone with all these bodies!"

"It's..."
Ith paused. Would it really be wise to tell Ralu how to make and use a knife, possibly against him? He suddenly abandoned that train of thought. Sure, he didn't appear to be the most friendly of sorts, and possibly the sanest, but he had given him some clothes, accompanied him through this place, and was one of the only three survivors of whatever massacre happened here for all he knew.
"Some sort of book about knives,"
Ith notices his gun.
"Although you probably might not need it, seeing you have a gun already. You might still want to take a look; it's pretty interesting."
Offer book to Ralu, look through next locker.

Inspect book thoroughly.

"Search the rest of the lockers would you? We might be able to whip you up one of these if we can find the parts. I know how you kitties like your shivs. Plus we may be able to figure something to pick that lock with if it's thin enough. Think you could manage that?"

((Sorry bout the wait. Needed sleep for TCAP.))
Ralu:
First, you read the note.
It's in English, but not good English. Some words are in Cêmïral. It seems to be a very short journal entry about hearing loud screams while on duty outside, near the gate. According to the writer, some of their friends have heard these noises as well. The writer states that either it's just a bird or something and nothing to worry about or they're "all Doncoliparex" (doomed) "Donsüyex." (fucked) They lean towards the side of bad things coming their way, but then state that they're known to be jumpy and paranoid about these things.

Then, you put on the recording. It's surprisingly undistorted and not difficult to understand, although, the speaker must be nearby an open door while it's raining. He does attempt to speak clearly, though. Just like the note, it's in a mix of English and Cêmïral. There also must be another guard nearby, speaking to someone else.

"Err... This is Guard Jâlicïr Vhêlîan Io, on Laprion (Late Spring Month, May) 27th, 762. The... kaliârij" (conditions) "look to be poor. They rain and cloud, but they aren't why I'm making this log. The other guards- even my friends- are starting to think I have gone crazy. I swear I saw a Shudova outside the walls. The nïshêmij" (myths) "that scared me when I was a child are what I saw. The problem is that I'm not allowed to find it and kill it. I want to see that thing bleed, because when I find it, I'll find it with its kin. I'll burn the den into ash. But I can't leave the camp yet, and-"

The recording cuts off.

Alex and Aaktuvus:
It's dark enough now to be dangerous to stand on the roof and the rain's starting to sting. You stumble across a metal door, covered in scratches.

Ith:
The next locker is empty, too.
Seventh is filled with more civilian clothes.

Ralu:
The third page is just a practice page, spent drawing eyes, mostly Iloial eyes. Iloial eyes have a slit running from the center of the lower outer eyelid to the side of their head. The flaps can be moved by a muscle in their face. They do two things. One, it looks threatening and unnatural. Two, it opens up more of the inner eyelid to be cleaned by blinking. The final drawing on this page shows an Iloial eye with a hole in it and the slit wide open.
