It's a—wait, hang on a sec...

To the south of the mess hall lies the ruins of what must have once been some form of barracks or living facility.The building, however, has been gutted by fire, leaving only ashes and blackened timber—the result of improper safety precautions in storage of explosives that eventually led to the abandonment of the entire island as an unsafe workplace. The building was clearly rather large, with the wreckage indicating a number of distinct rooms. The entire place is quietly ominous, a situation not helped by the fact that the layout of the ruins makes it impossible to keep an eye on the entirety of the surroundings at once.

((Keiji continued from The Noose of Time))

It was probably a long shot, but Keiji needed a shower, so he'd started to make his way there.

He had his head mostly in his map, trying to work out where he was going wrong. They were left of where he'd been, but he'd walked like a lot and still wound up not getting there.

So then he'd pulled out the compass and used that, except that wasn't really pointing left either—though if it was going up then maybe he should walk to the left of the up, but then it changed direction so he changed direction and—

Okay, this should be it!

Keiji looked up from the map, beaming proudly.

...

There was a mostly destroyed building, scorched and black.

...

He'd just been here.

"Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh," he opined, and went back to walking.

((Keiji continued in Oh, come on!))
