WEEK 2.

[trustharder]

WEEK 2 Two people are gone from the group. Zagi and Kamui are dead, twenty-five of you are still alive, and the first week in the Vault comes to a close. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning, those klaxons are as annoying as ever but at the very least there aren't any bodies to be found. It can be assumed, perhaps, that you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... However, those weird dreams aren't the only new thing around here; one of the previously closed-off section near the vending machine has opened up, revealing a spiral staircase leading up to the next floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 25

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Comments

[cherryblooded]

I'm alright.

[But there's something that has been concerning him, so he needs to air it publicly.]

Has anyone had any strange dreams lately?

[lackinginfaith]

Not unless you count something that seemed strangely realistic.

[cherryblooded]

That counts. Would you mind sharing what it was about?

[sleepingkogoro]

Dreams? I'm not sure I can call it that. It feels as if somebody had passed a video at max speed in my head.

[Which is to be expected since he got, what, almost 200 manga/anime episodes crammed into his memories in one single night?]

I don't even remember all that very well. I can now recall cases and people I don't remember meeting, but other than that there's nothing particularly weird.

All I can say for sure is I dreamed I got famous through all Japan.

[cherryblooded]

...That does seem unlikely. For your detective work, I assume?

[Yeah guess who doubts that a little...]

[captainobnoxious]

It's strange that I have dreams in the first place, but like what the snow queen said: It was just totally realistic.

[That's you, Caren. The snow queen. Sigrun kicks her feet onto the table and crosses her arms, messing with her red scarf a little.]

Nothing out of the ordinary as far as my life usually goes, but... I didn't recognize the faces of the kids I was with and I felt like I should've. I can put it down to that since I've done something like it before of course it was real feeling, but it's been bothering me since I had it.

[Like a nagging feeling. Something important in the dream itself, but it's still not all there.]

[lackinginfaith]

[Caren seems to startle at the nickname, actually, a hand going to her shell pendant, but once she realizes what Sigrun means, she just frowns at her.]

So it was something that could've happened?

[cherryblooded]

There's no one in my dream I didn't recognize, but...

[He sighs. Might as well come clean with it.]

I've been feeling weak since I arrived, and Saturday night I had a vivid dream that I was poisoned. Right now I can't decide which one led to the other.

[amygdalae]

[While everyone else is discussing their dreams Bruce stays silent through it all, trying to let the sound of their chatter drown out the dream that plays over and over in his mind. He still doesn't know if its truly real or not, but its hard to ignore how every part of him seems to react the moment he recalls it.

He didn't think he could feel like this again--this loss, this fear, this despair. It's terrifying.]

[devastation]

[Guess who's also not actually in a particularly sharing mood about their dreams right now either. until Stan mentions zombies

In fact, you might be getting interrupted from your thoughts here as Megumi holds out a cup to him.]

Would you like some tea, Bruce-san? [Maybe it will be a welcome distraction from whatever it is he's thinking about right now?]

[goodforsomething]

Yeah, that happened to me, too. It was kinda like I picked up where I left off at home for a few hours. I thought it was just 'cause of what happened here, with the zombies and all...

[cherryblooded]

So it could have just been a dream. But it felt a little like a memory?

[Concern.]

[bloodisthicker]

That's... basically what happened with me, but I can't really say it was connected to anything that happened on Saturday. Basically, shortly before my last memory before waking up here, I was planning to meet someone for dinner... and in the dream, that meeting actually happened. It involved people I was aware of and that I'd at least seen photographs of, but I had only really met one of them in person beforehand.

[devastation]

... Zombies? [uh] You had a dream about those too?

[Because that's what has gotten Megumi's attention here, of all things...]

[ratingspoint]

Well, I had the sort of dreams I usually do, if we're going to be honest! It wasn't anything weird, it's not like there were any electric sheep or anything.

[...Mettaton, did you really.]

Maybe my dreams are just weird overall, though. That's possible.

[cherryblooded]

[He chuckles at the electric sheep joke, so apparently he's read that story.]

That's worth noting, too. Thank you.

[happysweets]

A-ah! Misa-Misa thought she was the only one! But it was just a dream, right? Misa-Misa just thought she was probably, like, just feeling really stressed out...

[ Hearing so many other people with them is...less than reassuring, though. ]

I, um, got into some trouble...

[cherryblooded]

...Well, you're alright now, so even if it did happen, it can't have turned out too badly.

[Is this reassuring at all?]

[garudynamic]

[After hearing everyone talk about their dreams, the hope that it was just a dream that echoed what happened is vanishing.

Knowing it was true is kinda worse. But he can't not say anything]

Yeah, me too.

[notjustawriter]

Yeah, I had a strange dream.

Dreamt I really hurt a guy for no particular reason-- I was hidin' out in some actor's dressing room and I tied him up.

[wokeupdead]

I had a dream too but I had chalked it up as complete nonsense.

[Except it did feel very realistic despite how there was no way it could be true.]

[isafraid]

[slowly nods.]

You'd already heard about it from me. right now, I'm not sure if I could even call it a dream.

[Speedwagon looks... uneasy.]

I dreamed that I was under attack by a monster, a bloody monster with red eyes that tore through a group of coppers like they weren't anything! And I can't recognize anything from it... except...

[goingdigital]

Yeah, one that doesn't make sense. I thought it was just from the stress of the other day.

[pokexplorer]

Hmm, so it seems this happened with nearly everyone? That in itself is rather strange, isn't it?

I did have a dream myself, though it was nothing drastic. I entered a Pokemon tournament for the sake of testing my research, and I once again came across the trainer I had just met before my arrival here.

It seemed...like a natural progression of things, I suppose? Since I had planned on entering that tournament in the first place.

[prismbloom]

I had a strange dream as well. [ ... ] But I agree with Caren--it seemed so real.
