[Guess who has been trapped alone in a building with four sticks of raw sugarcane and a map he wants to copy. All he has available is a tiny ass screen, so we must suffer the limited ASCII together. Fake screen boundary included bc otherwise it's even less decipherable.]

[There's a handy key of what some of this nonsense means if you keep scrolling:]

o start?
* jail (again)

Is this a map?
What does jail "again" mean?
Did you die? Did someone else die? Context matters here.

[ok, the use of text this time is his fault. but it really seems a waste to text with a walkie-talkie.]

Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to...post? [is that even the correct terminology? it feels wrong somehow, but oh well.]

It is based off a map, yeah.

[ Despite himself, Lalo is happy to see a familiar callsign. ] Is that-- Senku! How ya doin', man? Holdin' up okay with the storm?

It's a map! The detective drew it...! What do you think? It's good, eh?

audio; DI481O

[salamanca]

[ Oh, hey! It's the kid who was texting Cohle's device earlier.

Comes sometime after this conversation, like probably a whole day later! ]

My partner drew that! It's a map!

[ :D ]

I've come up with a way to keep notes on here. It's complicated, but I can tell you if you want!

fucking lmao

[1797]

[squinting. is...is this some kind of good cop/bad cop routine? minus the cop part (he hopes) (lol).]

Knock yourself out.

[don't mind him trying to gauge wtf is going on.]

you;re new

headccount? aybody dead or ,issing?

[Sorry buddy, she's outside, and typing in the driving wind and rain is An Experience^TM. Trying to shout over it would probably be even harder, though, so you get this.]

[trialbyliar]

lol wowwww
that's the shittiest map i've ever seen!!
(*￣▽￣)b

[hyakuoku]

Ben! You're not dead! Good.

[ He's teasing but he does sound genuinely glad. He doesn't want people to die, after all. ]

I'd have to see the drawn one, I think, but knowing him it's as comprehensive as he can make it. We have a map here too. Randvi is working on it.

[hyakuoku]

[ Senku can follow suit easy enough. ]

Post is probably close enough.
Guess that's one way to pass the time, making ASCII maps on the devices. You find anything before or during the storm worth noting?

[1797]

[oh, this type of person.]

thank you
(*￣▽￣)b

[1797]

[he makes the suggestion anyway... sorry he got lucky enough to presume no one else is out in this weather. at least not while using a walkie.]

we can switch from texting if that would be easier

[trialbyliar]

[ unfortunately yes ]

so who's dead?
did you find a corpse
ooh or is it like a video game where *you* died and the place you got killed gets marked on the map??

[ichoosefight]

still confused but I like your spirit

[1797]

[taking stock of his inventory... it is really fucking sad]

A computer, but I can't get it to turn on. Though I'd guess whoever was here before tried as well.

[turns to stare at ''''''RE419S'''''' and ''''''ben'''''']

[1797]

[HO125E seems like the type to insist on sticking with text just to be contrary. and internet trolls like their anonymity, so—ren sticks with text without even asking.]

i'd guess someone else found a corpse, but they weren't very forthcoming with an answer

[trialbyliar]

[ you understand him so well...it must be phantom thief solidarity ]

booooo
that's no fun
don't tease us if you don't have any gory details to share!!

[1797]

[Winging it again by switching to audio:]

The real boost to the spirit would be a pen or pencil.

[hyakuoku]

A computer, really? Exciting.

[ He might sound a little mad scientist about this, it's fine. ]

I've been looking for something like that, actually. Do you have any idea what part of the island you're on? I don't know about getting the power on yet but there's gotta be a source somewhere.

audio;

[ichoosefight]

[ Works for Steph, even if there's plenty of background noise from the storm outside. At least she's in a proper building. ]

I wouldn't hold your breath. If you've got something to write on, try charcoal next time you've got a fire.

We've got most of a map together. Our ASCII artist is kinda stranded on the opposite side of the island, though.

[cactusy]

in a tree rn

woullld not be eadier

[salamanca]

Ahhhh, I could say the same to you! [ 😋! He sounds delighted, though. ] You got somebody to go get Miss Shaw, right?

Yeah? If we ever get there, we'll add to it! The dead guy, that's where the cabin is.

idek

[salamanca]

You send me something privately! Can be anything you want. A smiley face! Just whatever.

Then I send it back to you, add onto it if I need to, you send it back to me, we can keep notes that way. We can't save anything ourselves otherwise.

[Important questions only]

There is an airplane near you?

[desperate_times_right]

[Ren can hear rain on another jail in the background, as well as a cat going completely insane running into walls. Chloe speaks with an Australian accent]

Watch yourself southwest of the plane, we got hit at a camp near there.

[1797]

[ok, but someone who can actually do something with this computer? pls.]

Based on the map, to the north? [the weather hasn't exactly given him a chance to check it out himself.] There is a power source in this building, though. I just don't know if the computer isn't working because it's too weak or some other reason.
