WEEK 1.

[trustwellness]

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

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[oyashiromama]

[Sweets are cooking and Hanyuu can't help but investigate.]

Ohhh... Wonderful, I've never smelled anything like these.

[modernmedicine]

No, no chocolate chips? Well, they're -

[Ding! There goes the timer.]

I was going to say almost done, but there they are now. Once they've cooled for a minute, please help yourself.

[oyashiromama]

[Impulse control around sweets, it's zero- no she is a dignified god

Hanyuu will wait the minute for them to cool.]

That's very kind of you... Did you make these for everyone?

[modernmedicine]

I did. I don't have nearly as much time to bake at home, so I thought I'd at least take advantage of the opportunity.

[oyashiromama]

That's so very thoughtful of you. [...hm] But, aah, I hope it's a large batch, if that's the case.

[30 people.....]

[modernmedicine]

[She chuckles.]

No need to worry. I made a double batch - do you prefer going by Hanyuu, or...?

[oyashiromama]

Yes, that I do! ...Though, I'm not the only one with more than one designation. Your information, it said you also go by "Mercy," is that right?

[modernmedicine]

That's right. It's my call sign when I'm out in the field. Call signs are unique, and it's a lot easier.

[oyashiromama]

Call sign... So you're...a war doctor? [Her profile does say "field physician" but she didn't think literally-] My...

[modernmedicine]

I am. My parents died in a war when I was a young girl. I promised myself that if I could, I would prevent that from happening to others.

[oyashiromama]

...That's a respectable path to take. It's far from an easy one. I admire you, doctor.

[modernmedicine]

I was just doing what I felt was right. It's the only choice I could have made, given everything.

[oyashiromama]

Mm, you mustn't sell yourself short. It's not easy to immerse yourself in such a life.

[...are the cookies cool, she...might take one now.]

[modernmedicine]

[Go for it.]

No, it isn't, but I do love my work.

[oyashiromama]

I'm happy to hear it. In a such a taxing position, you have to...

[Well, she'll just take one as she's talking and- oh my god-]

H-haaa...! These are delicious! [...small blush]

[modernmedicine]

Take care of yourself?

[OH NO how cute]

I'm glad you like them.

[oyashiromama]

[Hanyuu "Adorable God" Furude]

It's been so long since I've tasted anything, I keep getting...aah, so very overwhelmed.

[modernmedicine]

[The cutest goddess ever.]

Why's that, if you don't mind my asking?

[oyashiromama]

Oh, aah... I was a spirit for many centuries. I could only eat the offerings given to me, but even then...it doesn't quite have the same experience as eating for yourself.

[modernmedicine]

I see. No, I don't imagine it would be anything close to the same thing.

[Centuries? That's far longer than she would have ever guessed.]
