WEEK 2.

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

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.]

[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?

Yeah, definitely. My line of work's got a ton of times like it, which is weird that it's bothering me so much.

[So she's mostly bothered that it's bothering her. What a bother.]

I mean, it's not every day I have to escape from a building blowing up, but it's not like I can't see myself doing it in a rush. Especially with about a billion trolls after me and the little Swede I can't remember anything about.

[Except the fact that he's Swedish, apparently??]

So it felt more important or different than it should, you're saying.

Yup, like I can still feel it at my back. Any other obvious questions?

They're obvious questions because they're important questions, you know.

That's fair. They just seem--

[And she suddenly sits up, feet slamming onto the ground as another detail tugs at her wrong.]

I got it! I got what bothered me! I was wearing this thing in the dream, even though I still have nooo idea where I got it!

[The great clothes she has on now, judging what she's pulling at. They've probably been washed this week.]

He was too! The other one looked like a scout more than a soldier, but if he was with us he was probably a Mage, which makes the Swede a Cleanser. They love their fire. I don't know why I was with them even in a dream, but they feel important for some reason.

So that's all of us so far who have had dreams that could very well have happened, but seem to be connecting our previous lives with the bunker in some way. Put that way, it sounds more important.

If most of us have that kind of experience, sure, but even then they're still just dreams. Really off putting dreams.

[Buuut maybe that's because dreams aren't her area of expertise. That's a Mage's deal too.]

After everything that has happened so far believing those may be more than just dreams isn't so far fetched to think.

[Hmmmmmmmmmmm.]

That is a good point, but...

[She trails off there, shrugging as she settles back into her seat.]

I'll leave that boring deduction work to you guys. This kind of thing isn't anything I'm really into.

Dreams that mean that this place or the person running it is getting into our heads, and that's assuming they aren't real instead.

We're twenty seven-- twenty five people stuck in an enclosed space, what do you expect? And like I said, there's nothing unusual about my dream considering my work, outside the threads and feeling like I should know the two I was with.

It still sounds more important than we might think, if it happened to everyone.

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.

[Oh. Well.]

So you could be dying, or it could be nothing. What a fifty-fifty.

I'd notice if I was bedridden. Whatever it is, if I was poisoned, it's not quite as bad as it was in my dream.

I don't know, I can see you walking off a lot of things. Potential death being one of them. [Like, she wouldn't be surprised at all.] I'm glad you're probably not totally poisoned though. Or that it's not as bad. Or whatever. You wouldn't be fit to eat even if I wanted to at this point.

[Just a joke, obviously, she's glad the shrimp guy's around. Dad fuss is quite touching.]

I'm touched that you would say so.

[He knows it's a joke. It's still weird that they're joking about eating him, but oh well.]

...The other thing about it is that someone was poisoned recently at home, before I came here, so it's not out of the question that it could happen to me.

[His tail is edible, okay. It's literally a shrimp tail. They just cut it off and there it is.]

No kidding? Are you royalty too?

[Please only do that once he's already dead, because that would hurt.]

No, not at all.

[There may have already been discussion ~~oocly~~ about this.]

Someone really important?

Well, actually... Tatsumiya, the other person who was poisoned, is our strongest magic-user - besides Wadanohara, but she's not home at the moment. If you were to go by the strongest person physically... that'd probably be me.

Oh. Yeah, I can see that.

["That" being strongest physically, or "that" being the reason he's poisoned? Both.]

So they'd take you guys out of the picture and then whatever they're planning goes off without a hitch or something like that. Sounds like things are tough back where you live. The sea?

The sea. Things aren't too bad - a neighboring kingdom is hassling us, but we have defenses, so it shouldn't come to a full invasion.

...Hopefully.
