"Uhh..."
Mei looked like her head would explode if she tried to think any harder.

Fox thought hard, scratching his head.
"Is it FF?"

"Yep, you got it!"
Nona smiled.
"And FF means 255 in Base 10. Since you include 0 in that, it means that each primary color has 256 possible values. So, one last question just to make sure you got it... What color do you think the code FF00FF would make?"

"Would it be... Magenta? Cuz' red and blue is magenta?"

Fox nodded confidently, that was the answer he suspected as well.

"Uh-huh! Good, sounds like you both get it now."
Nona looked a little relieved that she hadn't come off as some crazy nerd.

"So uhh... we're supposed to be adding 'R + G + B' in Hex, right?"
Mei looked at the screen again.
"...Then 0 + 0 + 0 = 0."

"I guess you're right... Derp."
Nona looked a little embarrassed.

"I'll bet you're on the right track though Nona"
He smiled warmly at her
"Maybe we just need more information?"

Post by Mei Kasonoda on Jun 21, 2013 15:00:53 GMT -5
Mei's eyes hung low.
"Well, where do we get dat information? Haven't we checked pretty much everywhere?"

Fox glanced at Mei
"Well we haven't tackled the chess board yet have we?"

Suddenly, Mei's eyes flickered brightly.
"Aha!"
She pounded her fist in her hand, as she exclaimed in a moment of genius.
"Yo, gimme dat chess piece!"

Fox was startled by Mei's outburst. His surprise gave way to excited hope when it seemed Mei had an idea.
"Sure"
He handed her the black king.

Grabbing the king out of his hand without another word, she kicked off the wall, making a dart for the door to the dining room.

Fox exchanged a bemused look with Nona, then took off in pursuit after her.

"Outta the way stupid monkey!"
Mei pushed him to the side.
"Where's the board at!? Lemme see that shit, I got this figured out!"
Overexcited, it took Mei a few seconds to realize that the board was right next to her.

"Don't look at me. We were discussing a key for a code we found when we worked out how to use the TV when Mei was suddenly struck by inspiration and zoomed off. "
He stared at Mei expectantly.

"Okay, get this!"
She floated up a few feet to get everyone's attention.
"What's da code for white in dis HTML stuff?"

Fox looked around for Nona, this was her favourite topic.
"White?"
He thought for a moment
"Well, in Hex it would be "FFFFFF" right?"

"Yeah! You got six 'F's in a row!"
A smirk formed on her face, as she explained the next part.
"So? What about with black? What's da code for that?"

"You know it!" She looked back at the table. Particularly, the plate inscribed with 'defeat zero'. "So, Zero? You masked fucker. What ya gonna do now?" She slammed the black King piece right on the one tile where escape was impossible.  "...Cuz it looks like we got your ass surrounded! Checkmate!" |

*beep*
The black piece stuck to the board like a magnet. A short moment later, the board flipped over onto its side, revealing a secret compartment below. What they found inside the compartment was a...
Nightlight:
- The bulb of it had a greenish tint.
- A small plug stuck out of the back. Seemed like it could be plugged into a wall.

Mei snatched the nightlight out of the compartment.
"Hell yeah! I just solved the shit out of that puzzle! Guess who's a genius? I'm a genius!"
She smiled ecstatically, as if she'd just won a game show.
"So now what? Where's my Life Card?"
