Library Book 7843627359-15-B

Hell Hotel is a scary place! This page is potentially triggering for: BODY HORROR, GORE   # 7843627359-15-B is a book found on the library shelves, originally found by Goro Akechi on June 28, 2020 and later by Senlin on July 7, 2020. The amount of content described in the book itself is relatively small, but more was found in the library computers.

Book Contents
The description provided by Lawmaker read:

Goro, your book is not much more informative. It is in the same format- Names and pictures. However, it looks like someone has taken every page and gone over it with some kind of incredibly powerful white-out, to the point where it takes a bit of squinting to tell that the pages aren't just blank. There are only three that are not completely obscured.

A picture of a woman with light brown skin and long, dark hair pulled into a braid. She is wearing white clothing on a blurry white background- Possibly a spiral stairwell? She looks faintly anxious. The name below her picture is "Inaya Bukhari".

A picture of a man with dark skin, and curly reddish-brown hair cropped short on his head. He is smiling directly at the camera, and his eyes look slightly unfocused. He is also wearing white against a white background. The name below his picture is "Dillian Finley".

A picture of an older woman with very pale skin and graying brown hair, also pulled into a braid. She looks stern, if not slightly shaken. She is wearing white against a white background. The name below her picture is "Margret O'Connell".

One more interesting detail. As you flip through this book, you notice that there is one page that looks like it has been violently ripped out. You can not discern any details of what might have been on it. You do get the feeling, however, that it may still be around here somewhere.

This missing page was later found by Senlin and matched to #7843627359-15-B. It was said that the "background, hairstyle, and clothing are also very similar to that of the other pictures."

Computer Files
While looking for the missing page, Goro searched #7843627359-15-B up in the computer's hotel files. The first thing to be described was

DATED [REDACTED]

ORGANIZED BY [REDACTED]

LOCATED [REDACTED]

PARTICIPANTS: 104

NUMBER CHOSEN FROM PARTICIPANTS: 8

FINAL NUMBER: 0

Currently, the precise meaning is unknown.

Beneath that, was a list of files kept in the system, playerdirectory.txt, layout.jpg, Lightreadthis.txt, DELETENOW.mp4, and AURELIA.exe respectively.

playerdirectory.txt
Nothing on this file was found, as the data was shown to be corrupted. The option to delete was given, but not used.

layout.jpg
There were several files to scroll from in here, all depicting "different floors of some kind of grand establishment." Lawmaker states that it can be determined as a hotel, but not the one the player characters are residing in. Some of the descriptions included a spiral staircase, tall collumns an elaborate fountain, and plush rooms. Despite the lack of any sort of labels, Goro was also able to make out "a mess hall, what looks to be a spa, and an indoor garden."

Lightreadthis.txt
While the identity of O is still somewhat of a mystery, Light is one of Second's many nicknames.

Light, I know you will be snooping through these files trying to delete them again. Stop interfering with my recordkeeping. If you keep trying to mask the details from me, and from the others, I will simply ask Eldest for what happened. You know They cannot resist telling a story. Honestly it would not be such an issue if you would just stop being so sensitive about it. Whatever happened in 7843627359-15-B, it certainly isn't worth all this drama. Pull yourself together.

- O

Similarly, Eldest is another of the Powers That Be.

AURELIA.exe
The computer struggled at first to process this file, but eventually showed a video described as follows: [TW: GORE, BODY HORROR]

''' It is an image, or perhaps a very still video. There is no easy way of telling at first. It's hard to focus on any details besides what is directly before your eyes, but I will describe the scene piece by piece, for the sake of clarity. '''

''' You see a woman's face. She is collapsed on some sort of pure white surface, but the "camera" is close enough to her fallen body that she obscures almost all else about her background. She is wearing pure white garb- Something almost similar to what you are wearing, but more elegant and cared for in its make. She has tanned olive skin, and dirty blonde hair pulled into a simple braid. Once, she might have been a very beautiful woman. '''

''' But it would have to have been before the skin was peeled from her face. Before her eyes were nothing but burned out holes, and before almost every inch of her skin was seared down through layers and layers until it reached the pink and bleeding flesh beneath. You could easily imagine how she might have had a few freckles, maybe a beauty spot, before it was all wiped away by whatever flame cauterized her into the horrible and shriveled thing before your eyes. Now she is nothing but muscle and sinew. The blackened sockets where bright eyes may have once laid stare, and you watch as slowly- ever so slowly- a piece of raw and melting flesh peels itself away from her cheek. A little extra damage done by Gravity. '''

It can be assumed that this woman is the same Aurelia mentioned in an unnamed library book found by Senlin. It should also be noted that the narration of this file led to a mini dispute between the Powers, specifically Lawmaker and Second, during which Youngest seemed especially uneasy. "'You will regret this, Lawmaker.' -Second"

DELETENOW.mp4
While this file wasn't listed last, Goro saved it last in fear of deleting everything else. They, forgetting that the computer contains files from other books, decided to click on DELETENOW.mp4. The computer lit up and screamed as it melted away.
