WEEK 4

[bathymetric]

Another trial, another week, and still you're probably running lower on answers than you'd like. And on people - you lost three since last Sunday. By the end of this week, you'll have been here for nearly a full month, yet still the days crawl on.

You wake up Sunday, again with no memory of Saturday, but this time with a simple message on your devices: You may resume requesting items, if you like. Enjoy. Guess it really was just a stealth motive after all, but at least it's being communicated that it's over! That's something, at least.

And when you leave your rooms on Sunday, there's another new area to explore! This one is... certainly more ambitious in its construction than the last one, to say the least. But hey, you have a pretty neat place to host parties, if you feel so inclined! That's... fun...

Hey, you gotta find the fun in situations like this where you can! Silver linings, right?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 4! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! ]

Waterpark

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose isn't really as bitter about the waterpark as Mira seems, although she's not incredibly excited either. This just isn't the sort of thing she's really done. Plus, well...]

Can I ask you a question?

[philoxenia]

Hm?

[ She looks to her and nods. ]

Of course. What is it?

[lovelikeyou]

Why do humans always make the water so...gross before swimming in it?

[what's the point of chlorine mira]

[philoxenia]

Oh.... Do you mean how it smells?

[lovelikeyou]

And what it does to your hair...

[all of her is made of light but it still does bad stuff]

[philoxenia]

It's true, it can do seriously bad things to your hair even if you wash it... But they put chlorine in the water to kill germs. There are some pretty serious illnesses you can pick up if the water isn't treated.

It's not unsafe, but it certainly doesn't smell nice.

[lovelikeyou]

Is that why?

[does rose quartz know anything about germ theory





probably not huh]

What are germs?

[philoxenia]

[ Oh boy. Oh no, she is not the person to ask about this, but boy is she going to try. ]

Um... they're microorganisms that are too small for anyone to see, but they can cause diseases. And they can be absolutely anywhere.

[lovelikeyou]

Oh, really? I know humans like to have things clean, but I just thought that made sense.

[Nobody likes dirt!]

[philoxenia]

Germs are part of the reason... and it's just nice to have things clean, really.

[lovelikeyou]

Gems usually keep things very clean, too.

[it's because they've got a lot of slaves]
