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...

[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?

[lovelikeyou]

I just didn't try. But I don't need to.

[And there's not a lot of point in it, without Greg.]

Are you alright?

[shieldsister]

You don't have to? Your kind doesn't require sleep at all?

[Let's talk about that instead!!]

[lovelikeyou]

No. I can, if I want to, but I don't like to do it alone.

[are you......gonna answer her question, or.....]

[shieldsister]

[nope!!!!!!!!]

I see. I'm used to having my shield-brothers nearby, and it's difficult to relax without them to watch my back.

[Not that it's really a necessary in Jorrvaskr, but she definitely sleeps better having them around.]

[lovelikeyou]

Oh. I see.

[She does sober at that, at least. That makes sense. The Crystal Gems never experimented with sleeping unless they were sure it was safe.]

As long as you don't fall asleep outside your rooms. I don't know why the Professor would care, but I don't want to see what he'd do. He's already done so much.

[shieldsister]

I don't understand the purpose of that rule either. Most of the others make some sort of sense or have something to do with his "experiment", but I don't know what to make of that one.

[Aela shakes her head. The Professor's reasoning behind it isn't something she's going to be able to work out now, anyway.]

I imagine he would punish any rule-breakers severely, though I'm not sure to what extent. Killing them seems as though it will only hurt this experiment, but it would work well to get us to cooperate.

[So maybe if we're being particularly chaotic.]

[lovelikeyou]

A common enemy.

[He's that already, but an actual murder would probably help a lot.]

If someone slept outside of their rooms, they would be easy to kill. Maybe he's trying to prevent that.

[shieldsister]

Ah, a fair point. Perhaps that would tamper with whatever it is he's trying to test with this experiment.

[Something about what makes people tick and what would make them decide to murder or something. She doesn't know a damn thing about psychology, but she can kind of get the idea.]

[lovelikeyou]

It sounds like he wants the murder...he must just want it to be harder than that.

[That's something White would do.]
