The Glader's Log

Day Four & Day Five

        Since the Griever incident, I told the Runners to not go back out there until we had something, something, to help defend them out there. We can't afford to loose anymore people than we have to. I told them again at wake up to not go out there. Thankfully, no one disagreed with the idea, but then again, they didn't look too keen on the idea of going out there again. Then, after breakfast, all of the Runners started looking everywhere for any sort of weapons or anything that looked like it could take down a Griever. I knew Minho would be the best at knowing what could be useful in defending one's self against a Griever, so anything that was brought to me that looked kinda useful, I asked Minho, who turned down almost everything anyone brought to him.

        So, to get to the point, today felt like we made no progress. The only good news I got was from the gardeners, who sent Anthony to report to me that the crops have excellent soil. Apparently the soil was so good, Anthony said they are starting to see the crops pop out of the ground, all green and pretty, as he put it. And the Builders seemed to have collected enough wood to start building the area to slice up the piggies, or the Blood House. So soon we'll have real protein to eat, which made everyone very pleased to hear.

The Next Day..

        Guess who found the weapons? Just guess.. YER BOI MINHO!

-Minho

        And no, Minho didn't just suddenly go into the storage room for the Runners and just happen to find the damn trap door in the corner that led down to the magical room filled with weapons and such. No, it didn't happen like that at all.

        The Runners were obviously not wanting another full day of searching for any sort of weapon to carry around. So I told them to go back to the Map Room and work on the maps, just to keep them occupied. But before they left, Minho told them to go back to the Runner storage room and put their running shoes in there so they wouldn't wear out so quickly. I had never seen the room before, so I followed, and there it was. It was small and could be easily overlooked. Once they were done putting away their shoes, I took a look at what they had going on in there. Which basically meant I went through every box and every shelf, looking for useful things when I saw a glimmer of something shiny in the back corner of the room. There was a big box of packs for the Runners on top of it, so I moved it, exposing a good sized trap door. Almost bursting with excitement, I went down the trap door.

        The room was nice sized, at least a good thirty feet filled with shelves of various tools and weapons. The left wall was filled with Archery supplies: bows, arrows, strings for the bows. There were so many different knives all shapes and sizes. But I knew better than to go blabbing about this stuff to just anyone. If people got shucked up and went crazy or something, they would know where to collect their tools of death, and the last thing we needed was for one of them to wipe out us all and fill the Graveyard to the brim. I left the weapon room and told Nick and Newt, showing them the trap door in the Runner storage room and led them down.

        Nick seemed excited but worried as to the fact that if the trap door remained unlocked, if someone spilled the beans about this place, who knows what could happen.. Thank the gods we had Newt, who spotted a few sets of keys on key chains and locks corresponding with the keys. We decided to hand out the sets of keys to Nick (of course), Newt, Minho and myself. We also decided to not tell anyone except the Runners, who seemed trustworthy enough. But it was already 1 pm, so after I showed Minho the Weapon Room, he told me that they would skip the Maze today.

-Alby

        Okay, so that's basically how Alby found the Weapon Room, but who showed him the Runner storage room in the first place I mean come on..

        After I explained what Alby found to the Runners in the Map Room, we head down to the Weapon Room. Since we all have our own packs, they got to pick out the weapon they thought would best suit them. And I also made them swear an oath saying that they were to tell no one of this room. They all agreed without hesitation. Then I told them to go get dinner early and rest up for tomorrow.

        "Tomorrow," I said, "We go in that Maze and find a way out."
