Just my luck. The first time I get the ability to contact the outside world, and I get stuck on this website. Really shoulda seen this coming. I don't even know why I'm shocked.

On the off chance that any of you actually are the police: I've been kidnapped by a creepy old man for science, save me.

...a creepy old man? What did you do, messere?

[iseedeadpeople]

From what I've managed to pick up from his stupid speeches? I was born. I know, it's absolutely despicable and I'm embarrassed to admit I've done such a thing.

[novicius]

Ah, he is that kind of person. [HE GETS THOSE GEEZERS ALL THE TIME.] My apologies, that must be terrible.

[iseedeadpeople]

I kind of want to try and be magnanimous and say "It could be worse" but I don't really think it could be actually. [Here Ezio, just in case you needed a quick lesson in tempting fate.]

I'm coming up with a few ways to break out at least, but it's a bit slow going because everything in this stupid building has a different access code so I can't exactly just walk out.

[novicius]

[BRO HE DOESN'T NEED THAT. NOT YET.]

...access code? What is that? Surely you can't get someone to do it for you, can you?

[iseedeadpeople]

Nah, I'm pretty much on my own, but I can hack into this one girl's email so in a way she's helping. She just doesn't exactly know she's helping.

And an access code is like a password, just with numbers that I need to punch in to this panel they have next to all the doors to unlock it.

1/?? i am so sorry?

[novicius]

[...what.]

2/??

[novicius]

[Why... would you put numbers by a door. What do numbers have to do with anything????]

3/??

[novicius]

[Okay, no, this sounds really... stupid.]

4/??

[novicius]

[Hold on, he's confused. Well, at least he'll try to understand.]

But how-

5/??

[novicius]

[...nnnnnnnnnope. STILL CANNOT CONNECT HOW OR WHY YOU NEED NUMBERS BY A DOOR.]

6/7

[novicius]

[Oh my god what is this. Is the future or other worlds or whatever way too like. Complex for something so easy?????????

DESMOND WHY DO YOU DO THIS EZIO IS THINKING WAY TOO HARD FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE.]

7/7 done and no, i'm not sorry actually

[novicius]

That sounds... very complex. And pointless. Why don't you just use keys, messere?

[...A++ Ezio. For all that confusion and comment spam, you go with keys. Keys. /face in hands]

ezio............

[iseedeadpeople]

[Can one man truly be this stupid? Is he kidding? Desmond doesn't know the answer but. He wants some faith in humanity so he's voting joke for the time being.]

There's no keyhole in the door for starters. It would be too easy for some poor bartender to find a few paperclips and pick the lock. I bet that's exactly what they said when they designed this place.

welcome to the dumbassery of your family desmond

[novicius]

...papercli-

[And then it clicks.]

What year is it for you?

all he ever wanted was to be born into a smart family ;^;

[iseedeadpeople]

Either 2012 or 1191 depending on what time it is.

... /shooshpaps his head, it's okay, we don't always get what we want

[novicius]

...1191? That is actually behind my time. [Holy shit SURPRISING.]

But for these... access codes. Those are in 2012, sì? That is much further ahead than I am.

sobbing

[iseedeadpeople]

The access codes are definitely in 2012.

So let me get this straight to make sure I'm not confused: You're from the past. As in actually from the past. [Did he hit his head? Fall asleep? Man, fml, this week keeps getting weirder.] So... What year is it for you then?

[novicius]

1476. We are a bit... lacking, compared to 2012.

[iseedeadpeople]

That explains a lot.

Alright, well let me try this again: The people who own this building know that they're kidnapping people who have a certain skill set and lock-picking would be pretty easy for most of us, so they can't exactly use "normal" keys without risking an escape, so they don't. As a result, in order to get out the door I have to solve a puzzle basically.

[novicius]

[...THE FACE HE IS MAKING. He hates puzzles.]

So they do not want to make anything easy. If these "access codes" use numbers, can you study those who use them, to see which ones they put in?

[iseedeadpeople]

I've tried. They make sure I'm safely locked in my room before they leave me alone, and they make sure I don't get close enough to just watch the numbers they push.

And before you even suggest it, there's no way to tell which numbers get used just by looking at just them either. Not without a fingerprinting kit or something like that at least.

I'm working around that by looking through this woman's mail. Her and her boss occasionally talk about security stuff, so I'm hoping they'll let the code slip at some point.

[novicius]

I see. So... [Man he feels kinda bad rn. )8] No one can come get you from here?

[iseedeadpeople]

I don't know. Probably not. If someone were going to develop anti-worldjump technology it would probably be Abstergo.

But it's not a big deal. I mean, it is, but I know I'll find my way out of here. It's just a slow process.

[novicius]

...As long as you have a plan. But be careful.
