trusthell | WEEK 1.

WEEK 1
Now that you've had a chance to yell at the Wordsmith, one thing is very clear. He wasn't lying. There's no escape from this place. You can explore all you like, but there aren't any ways to leave. It seems like there isn't much to do but settle in and get to know your fellow Apprentices. You're free to go wherever you'd like for the most part, but come 10PM the doors to the kitchen and the mail room will shut and lock and nothing you can do will get them to open.

While you might be tempted to sleep in, you'll find that the clock in the foyer goes off every morning at 7AM and again in the evenings at 10PM without fail. You'll be able to hear it no matter where you are; it seems it's being broadcast over the PA system. You're welcome to go back to sleep after you hear it, but surely you don't want to spend the whole day in bed?

(Unless you were out exploring all last night. In which case, go back to bed, damn.)

APPRENTICES REMAINING: 30

When?

[ The library is cramped, and as such there's not that many spaces in it to contort yourself into a perch. But Elda has managed it... sort of. she's on top of one of the shelves and sort of crouched down.

Ceiling vampire or something.

But still weird wording, ok ]

Ah!

[ Alani jumps a little. ]

Yeah, when. Everyone here is from pre-space-travel, it seems like. ...Whoever it was who said that.

[ Wait what.

She leaps from her perch, getting down into an easy (and shoeless) crouch at Alani's feet ]

What's that mean?

[ Everyone here is so weird!!! ]

I'm an alien to most of you, probably. From space.

You're another space alien?

[ There's MORE THAN ONE??? ]

Another?

[ There's MORE THAN ONE??? ]

Yeah, that huge orange lady's an alien plant-rock gem-thing.

[ Sorry Jasper ]

Ohhh, she's from space too. That makes sense.

[ Her education on Earth was not. The best. ]

Wait, isn't that Bun-ee an alien? I thought humans were the only civilized life on Earth.

Yeah, she'd have to be. Or from some other di...mension.

[ Still a weird concept, sorry Hanyuu ]

Earth just has humans and vampires.

... Earth had vampires?

Has, mmhm!

[ A sage nod ]

That's... new information. There are no vampires anywhere I know of.

[ HAHAH HAH ]

I guess space aliens aren't as all-knowing as some people think they are then!

[ excuse!! ]

I never said I was all-knowing! I'm a monk-in-training on an isolated planet, there's a lot of stuff I don't know.

-! Aliens have monks too?!

Of course. Religion and spirituality aren't exclusive to Earth.

[ In the back of her mind she can't help but make a silent prayer (hah) it's not quite the same as Earth. ]

I never thought of it like that! I figured aliens would be more about... well actually I just figured there weren't any!

[ Luckily they're not the Jesus type of monk. ]

I guess so, but to be honest there isn't a lot of belief outside of our planet. We're just relatively isolated on Akopos. So I understand your thought process.

What's an Akopos?

[ This seems like a relevant question ]

The name of my planet! We live in peace and worship the Bluemother. It would honestly look uninhabited from space if you didn't know better.

[ HA HA HA.... ]

[ . . . What the hell does that mean?

In fact, a flat look that asks that ]

... just think of the Bluemother as our god. Unless you want me to get into more details, but no one has so far.

I get that part! I meant how no one would see it!

Oh! We live underwater. In caves, mostly, though there are some buildings.

Then why aren't you drying up here?

[ She does seem sort of watery to be fair . . . ]
