The Fourth Dimension

[Virtual Diary Activated]


Now that the virtual network has been activated over the whole campsite I can make these entries wherever and whenever I want...and its so much more convenient than Maria's pen and paper diary ridiculousness. Where's the audio and video feed? Automatic saving and version control? Forget with it her diary. At least 'my' diary isn't burnable. 


She's been writing another entry in her diary. She doesn't know this, but I had the virtual network take visual screen shots of her entry so I could read it. 


...Yes, I read her diary. Don't look at me like that, I was bored. I have to agree with her, time seems to have come to a standstill. Nothing is happening! At least, nothing of worth is happening. The fireworks? I've counted over a thousand different firework displays. I even had time to walk back into the building, say hello to Maria, then walk back out again and Felix didn't even ask where I had gone. Maybe he didn't even notice.


I haven't decided if I'm still on the good side. What can I say, I like being bad. Nothing wrong with a side dish of evil. 


I saw the transcript of Maria's conversation with this 'Hannah' person. Shocked me to say the least. I know someone like Hannah is pulling my strings as well. I'd guess it's a he. And I would like to ask him why he put me through this hell of 'voices' and why he keeps having me switch sides and all that stuff. 


Sure it's fun, but a guy needs some stability in his life!


Anyway, that's it for this diary entry...I think I'm going to punch Felix and see if he reacts.


[Virtual Diary Deactivated]




Dear Diary
Time seems to be playing strange tricks on my mind. The first few days of this camp seemed to take over a year to take place and suddenly the last hour has been taking over three months! What's going on? Is there a greater being out there that decides how my story should go? And if so, have they forgotten about me!?! I feel so helpless... Why can't I just finish doing what I set out to do an hour ago.. what feels like three months ago.. WHY!?!


Hannah: Hello Mary.

Mary: Who are you?
Hannah: I'm a greater being who decided you would be a part of this story.

Mary: REALLY! Why did you get me caught up in this mess?? And more importantly, why is it taking so long to conclude?

Hannah: Well, I thought you would be able to handle this kind of stuff and yes, that second question is more important. I'm afraid I'm not the only greater being in control of this story. There are three others, one in particular who is in control at the moment is the king of procrastination.

Mary: Why don't you just take control and make something happen?

Hannah: Because that's not how it works. *sigh* But I do have a plan.

*Hannah gives Mary a sly grin and gestures to come closer*

Hannah: You see, all I have to do is scare him and he'll go running to his panic room. Little does he know that... well he does know but there's nothing he can do about it, that I have a secret passage into his panic room. I will corner him in there with a laptop, no internet connection or games and threaten him with... Well it doesn't matter! I won't leave him alone until he writes the next chapter of the story!!

Mary: Wow, you'd really do that for me?

Hannah: Well, not just for you Mary, you might not even be mentioned... though there's just as big a chance you may be mentioned. The point is that the sooner he posts the soon the cycle will come back to me and I can write all about you Mary!

Mary: Thank you Hannah! I can't wait to get back into the action.

Matthew: Hannah! Why are you breaking the fourth wall?


Forrest: Well now that you have joined in I get to say something now, right?


Matthew: Shush you. Go play with Maria. It may be the last time you ever get to see her.


Forrest: Was that a hint? Going to have me betray her too?


Matthew: I haven't decided yet. All of my carefully laid plans may change at any moment. 







Luck: Chloe, the WVR is worse than we thought.


Chloe: WVR?


Luck: Wireless Virtual Reality, it means the HC Organisation can make you see whatever they want you to see wherever you are!


Chloe: WHAT!?!


Luck: Don't freak out! We have a device that can help us decipher the difference between reality and WVR. Here...


*Pulls out sleek looking glasses*


Luck: The *add techno jargon here* and when they activate *more techno jargon* then you can *jargon jargon jargon* which should help *yet more techno jargon*. Did you understand all that?


*Chloe looks blankly at Luck*


Luck: Okay, I'll try to explain it a little simpler. Basically these specially made glasses have been modified to combat the WVR imagery which is visible because of the *techno jargon*... So that when you see any kind of *techno jargon* run!


*Chloe continues to looks blankly at Luck*


*Luck sighs in defeat*


Luck: They're magic glasses Chloe.


Chloe: Wow! That's sooo cool!








Maria: Hey Forrest! I worked out that if we hold hands the head counselor can't interfere with our minds.

Forrest: That's great Maria.

*Maria and Forrest hold hands*

Maria: ...and umm.. I also worked out that if you put your arm around me then I can.. hear the thoughts of people within a 50 meter radius..

Forrest: Really? So you could listen for people in the passage then?

*Forrest wraps arm around Maria*

Maria: Oh and.. I also have this theory that if we kiss then I can... locate.. the head counselor...

*Forrest looks at Maria suspiciously*

Forrest: How do you figure that?

Maria: I saw the head counselor do it.

Forrest: Makes sense.

*Forrest and Maria kiss*

Forrest: So?

Maria: Not sure... I think we should try again.

*Forrest leans in for another kiss and whispers*

Forrest: I know you're making this all up.

*Maria shoves Forrest away*

Maria: You suck! ;P







This has been discussed on the Facebook MSA Group page! A page for outside story character interactions whether it be through interviews, comments, or short stories all in relation to the story so far.




Chloe: So, since there is nowhere to put comments on this page, I have been forced to just start writing here. Someone put something interesting on this page, pronto!!!


Maria: I guess I.. I could tell you about the dream I keep having. Since ten years ago it keeps repeating through my mind but it's too strange to be real... I mean it can't be real, the real things are the people. The people from Camp Woodlands... 

Where to start, I think it starts with a lot of noise, I can see Forrest talking to everyone but I don't know what he's saying. Then suddenly we're running together, running through darkness but there's a glow like a bonfire or something. I look back and a few others have followed but I can't see their faces. Then suddenly we've stopped. I don't know where we are. Forrest and I are standing face to face with the Head Counselor.

Sorry the dream gets really fuzzy from here.

Um... There's a strange piece of technology, the Head Counselor disappears from sight... Suddenly I'm behind Forrest as there's a wave of light or something from the machine thing the Head Counselor left behind. Screams, I think, as I look back. I think I'm falling. I wake up.

Stupid dream.. I'm sorry you had to hear it. It's just that I was scared Chloe was going to punch someone if I didn't say something ;)


Chloe: Yeah, I probably would've... but only because we can't seem to get any decent answers around here. The only peope who were even remotely helpful were Dylan and Tyler and who knows where they are!! Although, now I have Luck to help... Um, yeah, and the others.
To be honest, I remember that day a little different... I was alone when the wave of light hit, but afterwards, I saw someone running away... I don't know who it was or if it's even important, but I thought you should know

Maria: Really? I wonder what other people remember! 
... Dylan and Tyler, that's right. Well, it's complicated. Everything is so complicated!!! I don't know what to believe..


WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS PLACE ANYWAY? It's just a bunch of conspiracy theories. Danger? I don't think I've seen any danger apart from the fights amongst ourselves. What's so hard to believe about a research facility under a camp grounds... Okay, that is weird. Perhaps the head counselor is a bit weird too. Evil though? It's hard to get my head around. I guess the one thing that has made me believe that something isn't right here is this strange ability the head counselor and... I have. Hmmm.....




Chloe: Maria, if I had any idea of what was going on here, don't you think I would say something? I do agree with you though, this place is flipping crazy! I mean, seriously, no normal person would actually do the stuff the Head Counsellor is trying to do, right?
Wait, what's this about you and the head counsellor?? I know nothing about this! Granted, we haven't had much time to chat what with running for our lives and all, but...
Whatever the head counsellor's planning, it's gonna be big. I just hope that we'll be okay when it happens...

Technically, we have been accepted into the agency... what could he do?


Maria: We've been accepted into the agency? I didn't you know you were apart of it too!! There's no escaping him...
