after vivarium!

It may have been weeks, months, or even years, but finally, everyone makes it out of the warehouse just fine. The authorities have broken in and let everyone out, or maybe the characters managed to escape on their own. Either way, Zero and Calhoun vanish without a trace and they still haven't been caught to this day. It's infuriating, but the important part is that they're now free. What exactly entrails after that ending though? How to Play: ✖ Make a top-level comment, either blank or filled with some info/prose. ✖ Tag others, whether it's shortly after the escape or much later. ✖ Action, text, video, whatever, it's all good. ✖ Have multiple threads? ✖ Done!

you know i can't make you any promises

and changing what subject? i'm just curious what you're going to do each time i turn a year older

[ Jake is totally doing this on purpose now, he's just being a shitlord not because he doesn't want to reveal his birthday but because how persistent Hershel is. Calm down, man, it's just a birthday ]

[puzzlinglad]

I know, at least you'll be the one dealing with her if you can't...

Probably send you well wishes. You know, happy birthday chap, here's to another year alive?

[He'll get this information. He's determined.]

[fairsfair]

piece of cake

sounds better than trying to buy me a present, so all right. then when is your birthday?

[ then they're going to be here all night. ]

[puzzlinglad]

I admire your bravado in this.

I can get you a present too, you know. And I asked first!

[are they 12 right now]

[fairsfair]

comes with the job

just stick to christmas presents, it'd give you less of a headache on what to pick and i asked second. does it really matter who asks first?

[ they're legit 12 year olds right now. they're so mature when they're stuck together ]

[puzzlinglad]

It should! It isn't polite to answer a question with a question, you know.

It's January 12th, by the way. Now will you answer?

[have a date just out of my ass thanks for all the info you give us layton series]

[fairsfair]

since when did i ever give off the impression of being polite?

maybe. i'll give you a hint: i'm a scorpio.

[ for all the backstory they give about layton, they sure don't want to tell us things like his bday or what year it takes place but there, let me also pull dates out of my ass idk horoscopes but scorpio seems okay ]

[puzzlinglad]

Can you blame me for dreaming of such a strange, impossible world?

Oh lord, Jake, are you really going to do this? Also from what I know of Scorpio that does make sense. October or November?

[My sister's a scorpio, they're assholes it's kind of perfect.]

[fairsfair]

maybe not, but you should get your head out of the clouds if you're going to keep up with school

hey, you like puzzles so this should be fun for you, and october.

[ hal, have you ever considered that your sister just might be... jake?? ]

[puzzlinglad]

Why would I need to worry about such things when you're more than happy to police my study habits?

You're impossible. Guessing is hardly a puzzle, at least give me one last clue.

[so my 5'5" tiny sister is actually jake muller. yeah alright i can see it]

[fairsfair]

you should probably actually pay me for this service

c'mon, i thought you were suppose to be good at puzzles, even guessing games. there are only eight days in october for scorpios but fine, one hint:

add the two numbers of the date and it will have the lowest possible sum compared to the sum of the other dates

[puzzlinglad]

Jake, hold all these thoughts for a moment.

Did you really just give me a puzzle? I never thought I'd see the day, this is utterly delightful.
