**Lenka Staneck** is a character in *The Blackout Club (game)*.

## Description

Lenka Staneck, more commonly referred to as just "Staneck" in game, is a rescue diver and a music teacher. She is mentioned in one of the newspaper clippings in The Hideout. Staneck was previously a host to DANCE-FOR-US until DANCE-FOR-US was consumed by HUNT-THE-STRONG.

## History

### Before the Game

Staneck was the first one to tell Bells about the Voices. She would take notes about Bells' "dreams within dreams" and share them with DANCE-FOR-US. Through Staneck and her other hosts, DANCE-FOR-US studied the Old Tongue. Staneck would reportedly wake up, out of nowhere, in a library or a storage locker with recordings and books regarding the Old Tongue.

### In-Game

Since falling under HUNT-THE-STRONG's influence after DANCE-FOR-US's death, Staneck became despondent, but still assisted THEE-I-DARE. According to rumors, Staneck was "dangerous at night", when she hosted HUNT-THE-STRONG against her will. The notes she shared with DANCE-FOR-US were no longer legible to her, due to HUNT-THE-STRONG's meddling. The Pact has tried to decipher the notes.

Staneck reported that HUNT-THE-STRONG did not fall for DIE-FOR-YOU's attempt to lure him away from SEED-THE-GRUDGE or any other member of the Pact. THEE-I-DARE believed that DIE-FOR-YOU or IN-HER-TEETH may be able to help Staneck, though the former was preoccupied with distracting HUNT-THE-STRONG directly. He asked the Club to send prayers to IN-HER-TEETH, believing she may help if she is convinced THEE-I-DARE has changed.

Staneck resists the Hunter during the day, but hosts him at night. Instead of picking up Staneck as a HUNT-THE-STRONG host like they did with Colm Ryan, SPEAK-AS-ONE allows Staneck to “roam free” so they can watch her. They believe she knows where Colm's niece/nephew is, and hopes that by observing her, she will lead her to where the child is being kept.

THEE-I-DARE's hosts are caring for Staneck and gained access to her phone. After finding Devin Esposito's contact information and discovering that the two had been in contact regularly, THEE-I-DARE offers to pass on messages to Devin as "Staneck". After Devin's disappearance, THEE-I-DARE explained that he took Staneck's phone, but it was not far from her because he did not think her capable of taking it back.

While the Unknown Caller was under the control of HUNT-THE-STRONG, he sent Staneck to the Townsend Motel to meet with A.P. Perdichi. She didn't return, so HUNT-THE-STRONG sent his few adult hosts to search for her. Staneck slipped away while THEE-I-DARE's host fell asleep; the host was exhausted, as THEE-I-DARE does not have many hosts to work with. Staneck had not attempted to move since stealing back her phone and collapsing afterwards.

IN-HER-TEETH learned that LAUGH-LAST's host told Staneck how SPEAK-AS-ONE was using HUNT-THE-STRONG. Afterwards, they both disappeared from Townsend.
