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! ]

I don't know why the other ones aren't interested in humans.

[They're so interesting! Rose glances sidelong at Sly.]

Oh, were you at the "water park"?

[thieviusraccoonus]

Seems a little close-minded of them, honestly.

[He wears a tired, vaguely annoyed smile.]

How could you tell? Although, this? Not by choice.

[lovelikeyou]

Some species are just like that.

[she can relate]

Did you fall in?

[thieviusraccoonus]

You know how there's a rule about not running around a pool? They don't point that out enough.

[Casually shakes a little. God, he hates this.]

I'm not even much of a swimmer. I sink like a rock. ...No Offence.

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose giggles.]

No, it's true. We do. We can swim if we try, but it's hard to float like humans can.

[thieviusraccoonus]

[At least she's in good spirits about him looking like a drowned rat. It earns a chuckle out of him.]

It's hard to float in general. Too bad I never learned to swim... might make it difficult if this place starts flooding.

[lovelikeyou]

You could learn now!

[She sort of doubts it would help that much if the walls broke, but it's probably still worth doing.]

[thieviusraccoonus]

I... think I'll pass on that offer.

[Rose, please don't start flooding the base. Though that's obviously not what she means.]

I'd just look like a fool.

[lovelikeyou]

I'm sure nobody would mind.

[well okay she's not, some people here are jerks, but - ]

It might be important to know.

[thieviusraccoonus]

How about instead I'll just, uh... hold my breath?

[And walk to the shore???]

[lovelikeyou]

How long can you hold your breath for?

[thieviusraccoonus]

Llllllllong enough?
