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...





MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ 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! ]

[philoxenia]

Mm, fair enough.

[ Hmmm. ]

Really? Do you use coins, then?

[bolderfell]

Sure. [...] You use paper money for real, where you're from?

[philoxenia]

Mm, there's paper money and coins... but lots of people use a card. It's like the key cards we have, but it has--

[ ... Ah, but before she dives into a whole Thing-- ]

It's a bit of an explanation, if you're at all curious.

[bolderfell]

...I think right now I'm better off concentrating my education on things that matter down here.

[He leans forward a bit, though. Puts one elbow on the table, rests his chin in his hand.]

Do you know how the key cards work? Not just how to use them, you showed me--but what the mechanism of it is?

[philoxenia]

[ Huh. ]

No... I'm sorry, I don't know the specifics of it. [ She pauses. ] ... Angel might, though.

[bolderfell]

[He lifts his brows a bit.]

What makes you say that?

[philoxenia]

Well... she'd know this place better than any of us.

[bolderfell]

It's not common knowledge, how locks work?

[philoxenia]

Ah, well... it's a little sophisticated than a regular lock, I think. I think it follows the same idea, though... The key card is unique to a reader, so they have to match.

But... I don't know the details, honestly.

[bolderfell]

Hmmm.

Guess it's worth looking into. I've been meaning to talk with her, anyway.
