Week 3

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

It's a strange sort of feeling, waking up on Sunday. Not the least because, well... you fell asleep on Friday, didn't you? Whether you sleep or not, none of you remember Saturday. Everything, by all accounts, seems to be Sunday. Weird.

It's not all bizarre feelings of lost time that you have to show for your efforts, though - it seems that another wing of New Rapture is ready for you. Perhaps there's more information to be found about your situation there... and maybe more about the history of this place, if that interests you.

There are still 23 of you left... Keep getting to know them. There's regains to get, after all!




SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Ah, I take it you know from experience.

[ it's not a murdergame until an unassuming teen girl bullies a grown man ]

So your school was lucky enough to have its own library... my, you must have attended quite a distinguished academy.

[Brett just laughs; he wouldn't have said something like that at all if he weren't willing to low-key bully himself.]

No, it was just a public school. They all have libraries, though they aren't all good ones. My sister and I were living with our grandmother, at that point - she didn't exactly have money set aside for raising kids in her retirement.

[honeyedtea]

Public school...?

[ She very quickly puts all that information together and looks completely baffled for it. ]

That is to say – it's a school anyone can attend?

[inaclearing]

Yeah. The government pays to run them. Not always enough, it depends on the area, but -

[But this probably isn't the time or place to get into that kind of thing...]

Yeah, anybody can go. You actually have to send your kids to some kind of school, if you aren't teaching them at home.

[honeyedtea]

Anyone can go...

[ This sounds like a completely foreign concept to her - and really, it is. She'd heard of the crown prince setting up something similar, but that had still been quite like the academy - only the richest could go, with a handful of the crown prince's favourites handpicked for scholarships.

She can't imagine a school just anyone could go to - much less one everyone has to go to. ]

What sort of things are you taught there?

[inaclearing]

There's basic stuff - English, math, science, history. Usually they'll make you do a little bit of a foreign language too. Then there's extracurriculars you can choose whether or not to do, like sports or music. I did a little bit of band and theatre.
