Manor
- Owned by the Balfours (have only met Portia; concerned with appearances)
- Giles in charge of maintaining the house (not to be confused with another Giles?); helpful
- Rooms (unknown number) that change location
- The library appears to have sentience
- The house as a whole also seems to have sentience
- From Silco's information:
"Once upon a hush,
In a house made of drawers,
The House felt a hurting
Beneath all its floors.

So it whispered into the wind
And the wind brought people.

They didn’t come by accident.
The House called them, one by one."

"They came because I called them,
Each one, small or tall.
They guard because they’re needed —
I needed them all.

For a House with a heartbeat,
A House made of fears,
Chooses friends like a child
Who has waited for years.

They guard me from breaking,
I guard them from harm
And the ones who guard hardest
I keep in my arm."

- It can be assumed that people were sought out on purpose and brought here
- People brought here from many different places, including from Duplicity (me, Max, Alec, Grace, Michael, Theo Price, Bucky Barnes). Someone came from a village after being brought there from homeworld (Koby). Apocalypse World mentioned (Dean).
- "House with a heartbeat" — alive?
- "House made of fears" — do people's fears make up the house? Keep it alive? Why it needs people — to use their fears?
- Reality-alterers — do they make this happen?
- 'Superheroes' mentioned on network — role?
- People with powers lose them sometimes; no predicting
- Constant surveillance; watch for Voyeur (not as frequent as Finder, I'm hearing, but similar purpose)
- Death not permanent; people who die come back. Come back 'wrong' (look more into this; similar to Duplicity or different?)
- Manor burned; rebuilt (apparently in a matter of months; reality-alterers? magic?)
- Many after fire left for commune (low technology, run by Shepherd, now deceased)
- Werewolf happened at commune (and once before, not at commune)


Werewolf
- 'Game' that has now happened twice so safe to assume will happen again
- People assigned to be 'wolves' without their knowledge
- Others have different roles assigned in 'game' (can talk to dead ('necromancer'), bring someone back ('witch'))
- To 'win', catch killers, have more members on your 'team' left alive by the end than others, or be a killer who doesn't get caught
- Several bodies found each 'round', people vote for who they think is a killer
- Most recent 'game' had 'alpha', 'wolf' in charge of other 'wolves'
- 'Game' appears to change each time it happens
- Finding information work in progress. Will update as I find more; records from network take time to piece together
- Probably no real way to prepare for 'game' except to learn about people here and know what they are capable of. Figure out who can be trusted. Prepare for possibility of being killed, make plans for that.


People
- Angelus: claims to be something that can be killed with a ruler (?). Self-labeled 'evil'. Probably mostly for show but generally unpleasant. Calls himself a vampire(?). Has a personal collection(?). Conclusion: Do not trust.
- 'Qimir': (I don't think that's his real name) Uses the Force. Got into my mind, knew my name, what I did. Seemed sorry, mentioned being hunted. Conclusion: ????? Keep an eye on
- Yennefer of Vengerberg: Confident in her charms, seems used to using them for her ends. Good dancer. Conclusion: Keep an eye on
- Thresher Shark: Mentioned reality-alterers. Thinks something bigger is happening at the house (based on evidence, I think she's right). Conclusion: Potentially trustworthy
- Jessica Jones: Also interested in learning what's happening in the house, and seems to be approaching this in a reasonable way. Conclusion: Potentially trustworthy
- Grace le Domas: Max knows her and trusts her. Conclusion: Trustworthy
- Lestat de Lioncourt: Surprisingly helpful. Conclusion: To be determined
- Hawkins Fuller: Straightforward. Conclusion: To be determined
- Michael Burnham: Was also from Duplicity. Conclusion: Trustworthy
- Gabriel Lorca: Not the same one who was in Duplicity. Conclusion: To be determined
- Oberyn Martell: Identified on Voyeur as being someone who is also dead in his world. Conclusion: To be determined
- Alec McDowell: From Duplicity; remembered who I was. He's Alec. Not much more to say.
- Silco: Runs the Hex Club. Shares information. Good priorities. Conclusion: Potentially trustworthy
- Kate Bishop: Mentioned knowing about other worlds. Seems helpful. Conclusion: Potentially trustworthy
- Koby: Kind to Max, mentioned the village, ran the broadcast. Will follow up. Conclusion: Potentially trustworthy
- Theo Price: Also from Duplicity. Need more information to make a conclusion.
- Wanda Maximoff: Mentioned other universes, crossing between them as 'dangerous' magic. Power? Conclusion: Keep an eye on
- Peter Parker: Mentioned multiple 'universes'. Questions about black holes.
- Dean Winchester: Was in Apocalypse World with brother. Don't know much else. Will follow up.
- Bucky Barnes: Also from Duplicity. Max knew him. Don't know much else. Will follow up.
- Embry Moore: Have not spoken to him, but has apparently made a lot of people angry. Allegedly poisoned someone and left them in a bathroom for dead, according to the network. Conclusion: will follow up, but if this many people have a problem with him, it's probably for a reason.
