WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

WEDNESDAY

[bathymetric]

investigation!

[baitless]

[Seteth is... not having a good time of things, but you know. Panic is useless, and he may as well get cracking on actually doing things. ...also he's kind of curious, all things considered, so he's going to try and investigate the dining area as soon as it opens for service.

Once he's done poking around there, he's going to head to the library, where he's been spending a reasonable amount of time just... trying to figure out what's going on with the world they're stuck in! So he's got a nice pile of books that he's going through. ...it should be noted that there is also a separate pile of books that he's set aside from the rest. If you snoop on over, it might be easy to notice that it consists primarily of illustrated guides to fish...

He eventually takes one of the guidebooks on fish of the Pacific Ocean over to the south tunnel to hang out for a bit and see what he can identify. Why not, right? It's something to do.]

library

[emberserker]

I understand trying to learn about Earth, but what's so important about the fish?

[baitless]

Ah, my younger sister is particularly fond of fish. I wanted to get something positive out this, so I decided to set some of these aside to take back to her when we find a way out.

South Tunnel

[ladygeryon]

[Nira's a bit confused at what he's doing for a moment, before noticing him comparing the book to the fish. Well, she supposes that makes sense.]

Everything match up so far? [She wouldn't put it past the Professor to purposefully give them some inaccurate information.]

[baitless]

It seems so, yes.

[He flips a few pages to see what that particular fish swimming by might be...]

It’s something to do to pass the time while we’re here, I suppose.

investigation!!

[bathymetric]

[ Alright, Seteth! Where do you want to start looking in here? ]

[baitless]

[You know, probably the conveyor belt? What the heck is that, honestly...]

south tunnel

[shieldsister]

[Hey, Seteth. Seeing him staring out at the fish while checking a book is... interesting?? She's not sure what to make of it.]

What are you doing?

library

[thieviusraccoonus]

[Feels like there's someone new in here every day. In some ways it's more fun watching the different people come and go than actually reading the books.]

Looking for a favorite genre in here?

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose is in the dining hall bright and early this morning, exactly at 8 AM. Though breakfast is technically available now, she doesn't seem to have ordered anything: she's just sitting at a table alone, hanging out. As if she was just waiting for company, she perks up when someone finally enters.]

Good morning!

[Later on, she's lying on the ground in the library, holding one of the marine biology books open in the air above her head. Normally, she doesn't really read much; it's a lot more fun to just go out there and see things. But there's not a lot to do here, and at least maybe she can learn about the kinds of fish outside.

At night, she can be found roaming the tunnels, looking wistfully out at the ocean. Sure, you're supposed to sleep in your room, but what does that matter? She's not going to sleep here. The sight of someone else is a bit of a surprise, though.]

Oh, hello. What are you doing up?

dining hall

[fivestagegod]

[You know, he's already been up for a couple of hours so it's not like he's still half-asleep or anything, but at the same time, holy damn, lady. You are awake this morning.]

Likewise. You're in here early.

Library

[ladygeryon]

[Aria follows behind Nira as she enters the library, before blinking a bit at seeing Rose lying on the ground.]

...that's bad for your back, you know. [Mom nature comin' out here.]

night

[shieldsister]

[Rose definitely isn't the only one out this late, though Aela seems only a bit surprised to be addressed from where she's been staring out at the fish.]

Difficulty sleeping. Is that why you're up as well?

Night

[bolderfell]

...I could be asking you that.

[One of these two looks like they're supposed to be sneaking about in the dark, and it's not the eight-foot woman in white.]

dining hall

[baitless]

[...oh, he wasn't expecting someone to be quite as punctual as him, since he is a morning person...]

Ah, good morning. How are you today?

[...because why not be pleasant, really]

investigation!

[emberserker]

[After Anna's attempt and failure to get the calendar, she'll be investigating in the north tunnel. Mostly checking out the floor, honestly, she seems to think there must be something there to start.

Later, she'll be in the meeting room, though she doesn't seem to be there to see Angel. Instead, she's writing something down furiously, barely noticing if anyone comes in.

In the dining hall come evening, she seems to have resigned herself to curry schnitzel, which actually came out perfectly fine due to being normal people food and not Fine Dining. She's changed into the jeans and tacky shirt to eat, though, and is glaring at anyone who comes in.]

dining hall

[fivestagegod]

[Birkin is one of those people who eats when he remembers to (and barely ever actually remembers to), so it's somewhat of a miracle that he's in here at a sane time; he doesn't seem too interested in actual food, but he does notice Anna in all her...really colorful glory over there.]

Well, they do say tie dye is making a comeback nowadays.

dining hall

[shieldsister]

[Aela has obtained food (oh my god that is so much meat) and when she notices Anna she just invites herself over and takes a seat directly across from her.]

You look agitated. [thanks, aela.] What's on your mind?

investigation!

[bathymetric]

[ The tunnel, you say? Well, what's she looking for on the floor? ]

meeting room

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della wanders into the meeting room, but whatever she had in mind goes out the window. Usually you leave people to their own devices when they're angry, but, well, she has a lot of experience with Donald... ]

What're you writing there?

[onefuture]

[It seems like they really are going to be stuck in here for the conceivable time being. At any rate, Lif doesn't seem perturbed; he's mostly had plenty to distract himself with, after all.

And by plenty to distract himself with, I mean he's mostly been living at the library these past couple days. Really, one can find him with pile after pile of books, sitting at one of the tables and reading them cover to cover to pass the time. It's almost nostalgic; Lif remembers passing the time like this back when he was alive, though he certainly never had this much time to devote to it. Save for various needs, he's mostly going to be in here if anyone wants to bug him. (Or remind him to eat, sometimes he gets a little too into a book and he hears his stomach and is like "surely it can wait a few minutes, i'm almost done with this book" and then he...doesn't do that...)

Of course, there will be some point at the afternoon that he takes a break from the near constant reading he's been doing; he can be seen in the dining room, eating lunch--he'll definitely acknowledge anyone who comes by with a nod of the head before going back to eating, but he won't mind company if anyone wants to offer it. It looks like he's just got some kind of vegetable soup and some black coffee going on, lunch-wise.

At another point in the afternoon, though, Lif can be found in the fitness room, apparently having decided that today's the day he's at least gonna try to stop avoiding any and all technology. It goes well for the more simple things; while he looks like he's never thrown a punch in his life on the sandbags, he is getting pretty into it and seems to be getting a little better as time goes on. (The perils of being a Fire Emblem character, you never get unarmed training.)

But of course, the problems come later, when Lif tries to mess with one of the treadmills; it seems like a simple enough process when he turns it on and starts walking, and honestly, it's pretty good for getting out any nervous energy that he totally doesn't have, and it goes well for a little while! ...Until Lif tries to set it faster, clearly underestimating just how fast it can go and--

Well, he falls flat on his face with a groan. Technology: 2. Lif: 0.

Once that's taken care of, though, it's back to the library for the evening, though he's decidedly more miffed as he reads this time. Don't be such a big baby Lif, gods.]

fitness

[emberserker]

...really?

[Anna raises her eyebrows, hanging back.]

dining room

[thieviusraccoonus]

[Prepare to be acknowledged by... this raccoon man, who so happens to have his own lunch.]

Mind a lunch neighbor?

[He's already grabbed a seat.]

library

[reallyhatesharks]

[After about the third time Lif's stomach growls, Nova throws an apple at him. Where did she get it? Who knows.]

Starvation's a slow and shitty way to go.
