Crotchety Piece Of Software!

"Do you know this person?" Aquina asked.

"Oh yes, better watch out, she is an extortionist at heart and will use everything you have to get you to do things for the klutz. Not only is she the biggest gossip, but she is a walking time bomb of Murphy's law just waiting to go off. Maybe we could just pretend like we didn't see the note…"

WARNING, LOCKDOWN IN PROGRESS

SURVIVE THE REMAINING 4 ROUNDS INSIDE THIS HOUSE TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND
