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! ]

...I think that's a fair thing to question, but if he's genuine about this being a valid experiment - one that he's planned for and set parameters for, one he's gone to such extents to secure this location for, even - then I don't know if he'd pick an assistant that he thought was going to run the risk of tainting the whole thing.

I realize I'm also trying to apply rational thinking to the person running the sadistic murder experiment, but this is just how I'm seeing things right now.

...We are just trying to play mental chess with a straight up sociopath, aren't we?

[fivestagegod]

That is exactly what we're doing.

[birkin my dude]

I admit I'm not crazy about the idea of dying if I mess it up, but at least I'm willing to see it as a challenge for now.

[nothingcanstop]

...You gotta do what you gotta do to keep sane...and that includes considering all this a challenge.

[ Unfortunately? She gets it. ]

[fivestagegod]

Excellent, you understand me.

I do think it's a winnable one; we just don't have enough information yet. Once we've got a better idea of the full picture, things will start falling into place a little better.

Unfortunately, it's largely a waiting game for now. Not entirely, but largely.

[nothingcanstop]

I'm no stranger to taking horrible situations and framing them so they aren't so horrible.

And if he's not going to give us pieces of the puzzle himself, we've got to be proactive in trying to find them, even while we wait.

[fivestagegod]

Definitely. I have some experience with guys like this, unfortunately; there's probably all sorts of stuff to find if we start looking hard enough.

[nothingcanstop]

Yerp. [ Is that- is that a way of saying yes- okay, moving on. ] Experiment or not, this is still some sort of weird underwater facility, and those are always crawling with secrets just waiting to be unearthed.
