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! ]

There absolutely was a reason I stayed behind to work on it.

[You know, after Al kind of vanished into the aether and probably got shot.]

I don't really regret prioritizing my work. That sort of thing is why.

[nothingcanstop]

[ Probably. Who knows with that guy. ]

I'll say. You, your wife... You guys are changing the world.

[fivestagegod]

Of course we are.

[Perhaps he can be forgiven a bit of arrogance about that, because like. Yeah.]

I've had to give up a lot to get there, but I honestly won't say that it hasn't been worth it, either.

[nothingcanstop]

...I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I... I never realized just how...important you are, I guess.

[fivestagegod]

[For a moment, it looks like he isn't too sure what to do with his face at that before he settles.]

I guess that's understandable - most people don't really know virologists by name, you know? It's not the most glamorous profession out there.

[nothingcanstop]

If we're being honest, it actually took me a little while to figure out what a virologist actually does.

[ She's. Della's min-maxed some of her skills, okay? ]

[fivestagegod]

...I...guess that's fair too...

[DELLA...]

[nothingcanstop]

I knew you were a researcher! I got that from the...ologist part, I just mostly hear that and think of like...geologists or psychologists and I took classes on and off at a liberal arts school, this really isn't my forte.
