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...

[ ooc: Welcome to Peace Week! Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, office hours for The Professor's Assistant are over here if you're interested, while regains can be deposited over here! ]

...Huh. I didn't think of that. If I'm from somewhere ahead of you, there's a distinct possibility someone else is from somewhere ahead of both of us.

[bolderfell]

That... Anna girl, maybe. She said something about the devices they gave us being old.

[precognit]

Anna... [her nose wrinkles for a moment, trying to remember.] ...Oh! The shouty one?

[bolderfell]

That's her.

[Memorable, isn't she?]

[precognit]

[Extremely!]

Well, I'll have to bug her for a few answers next time I run into her.

[and then she realizes—]

Sorry, I completely forgot. I'm Alice.

[bolderfell]

...Therion.

[Even in this situation, he's reluctant to introduce himself. Ah, well.]

You know they've written little notes about each of us. On those devices.

[precognit]

[Alice arches an eyebrow.]

I've been a little too preoccupied to memorize all twenty-four of you, sorry.

[bolderfell]

[All right then. He shrugs.]

At least you know about it.

[precognit]

Well, it'd make for a pretty poor investigation if I hadn't explored all my options!

[wink!]

[bolderfell]

[Heh.]

So you're not from so far behind that most things here are strange to you. Hmm... would you say that's true for most of the people here?

[precognit]

Hmm. I'd say most people I met are familiar with most of this? In a fictional capacity, if not in real-life experience.

[bolderfell]

That seems like an unfair advantage.

[precognit]

Not if you try your best to understand it!

[bolderfell]

[:\]

In the time some of us have to take to learn about glass squares and key-cards, others can do anything else they want. Still looks like a disadvantage to me.

[precognit]

Only if you think of this like a game, instead of as a problem to be solved. I'm sure nobody here is actually going to try and kill anyone.

[bolderfell]

That's a lot to take on faith.

[precognit]

That's all I've got right now, unfortunately. Doesn't mean we can't be careful, though.
