I am as confused as ever. There doesn't seem to be anything we can interact with using any of our tools, including the three robots. We "don't need" the crane "yet"; the floor panel is still impassible, every other machine is "strange", and the three robots are polite, asking us to set up the bomb timer to zero seconds (and calling us stupid for not doing so), and rude; and the colored machines are all acting like they're bombs too, even though I see no red or blue balls in them. And we still can't even pan to the apparent drawer on the front of the hi-volt connector. Heh, finally got to see the bomb timer display. Can't set it, though. I try examining the inventory...no help. I'm thoroughly out of ideas. I'm quite certain I've clicked everything with every item. Ah, well, the advantage of this fragmented storyline is that I can just give up and try another fragment if I ever decide I'm stuck.

Heh. Third time's the charm, they say. I return to the rec room, and after getting 1-3-5 and 2-3-5, I get 1-1-1. Junpei's deliriously happy to be alive, while the other two seem stunned. And we get our first typo. "Let's blow this popcicle stand." Junpei's getting drunk in the lounge. But I've still got a bad feeling about this, because not only did five out of the other six...oh, wait, Akane knows that this didn't happen on the first try. She specifically says what the odds would be if they'd done it three times, though she doesn't get it exactly right...though that close to 0%, the additive version isn't that far off. She's got some weird analogies, like a 100-round rock-paper-scissors tournament. The anthropic principle...the one who lives on does so due to circumstance.

So as I was saying before Akane used her esper powers, not only did five out of six of the others die on this timeline, but the survivor came from the team that Team C didn't vote for. So they could suspect that Team D betrayed Team Q. Sure enough, there goes the announcement. But the X-Passes are all different! Eye, Kill, Fool, Moon, Fate. If I'd been paying attention before, I wouldn't have even needed to guess; there's a board that displays all of the deaths and the X-Passes. Eye is Q, Kill is Mira, Fool is Eric, Moon is Diana, Fate is Sigma. Hmmm...Mira is Kill? Not Eric? Ah, well, Eric didn't actually kill Chris, he just helped cover it up. Anyway, we're back on the team selection screen. I jump to another of D-Team's...this one has a three-way split. There's a pistol...in a lock? "Fire", it says. Trash Disposal Room. 18:06...ah. That's close enough...Phi's already missing. She survives because she's not here. Oh, wait, there she is. Locked in...something? The incinerator. Wait, THE INCINERATOR? Oh motherfucker. You know what, let's call it a night. I'd been drinking, too, before I came back up here; I'm surprised I got as far as I did although I feel like I'm sober now. And admittedly I only solved about half a puzzle room. Everything from after the solving of the dodecahedron (as in, I'd finished the puzzle, but had yet to see my reward, when I was called away.)

Night, all.

Edit: Ah, wait, I just realized I screwed up. 18:10 is the one where D-Team all dies. This game is so damn annoying, because you can't play any section without knowing how a couple of others will end. Maybe. Mira died at 18:10 when I was playing Q-Team, but not C-Team. So if I'd actually finished the Pantry on the first try, I would've been surprised by Mira's death.
