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...

[Oh, that's...

Hm, maybe he shouldn't have said that. Lif's expression doesn't really change, but he does look up to see Alice after she speaks up.]

He is. There's no denying that.

[...]

Are you quite alright?

[precognit]

[Alice is taken aback by the question, and glances up with wide eyes for a moment before schooling her expression. Relaxing her shoulders.]

...I'm fine. Just some bad memories, that's all.

[onefuture]

...I see. My apologies if I contributed to that.

[It really isn't Lif's business to pry, at any rate. If that's something Alice wishes to keep to herself, then he won't pry into it. But he does at least sound apologetic; he may have been dead for a while, but he can at least apologize if he's done wrong.]

[precognit]

No, no. [Alice offers a weak smile, clearly trying to move past the subject quickly, for her own sake as well as Lif's.] No harm, no foul.

[onefuture]

[That's...good, then. Lif will gesture over to Alice's book, then, in any case.]

Have you found anything of particular interest, in terms of reading material?

[precognit]

Nothing I haven't seen in most libraries, honestly. [Alice lifts a shoulder in a light shrug, grateful for the change in subject.]

But I'm still grateful to have something to look at besides fish. Not that fish aren't great.

[onefuture]

[Ah, yes. Let's Nerd.]

You're certainly not alone in such a regard. It's much the opposite for me, however; many of these books are rather unfamiliar in subject, so it's easy to lose track of time while reading them.

[Oh, but speaking of that--]

So, these books are commonplace where you come from, then.

[precognit]

That's lucky for you. A whole treasure trove of new books!

[She nods, splaying her fingers over the cover of her book.] Most of them I've at least heard of.
