WEEK 1.

[trustharder]

WEEK 1 As much as this sounds like a bad joke all around, it looks like one thing is being played completely straight: you're not going anywhere. After the Kingmaker has answered your questions (or, well, perhaps it's more accurate to say he didn't answer them, at least as far as most of those little Q&A sessions went), you'll be left up to your own devices – feel free to continue exploring and getting to know your fellow Survivors for the next several days. Should you want to eat something you're free to use the kitchen before 10PM, but after that the doors will be locked and no amount of fussing with the locks or trying to break them down will get them to budge. And no, the robot cannot punch them in for you. Notably, though, starting bright and early on Monday morning (or maybe just early, since there aren't any windows) you'll be treated to the most unholy damn noise – it's very definitely an electric siren of some sort, probably some kind of klaxon, blaring out over the PA system. It only blasts once, but really, for something that loud, once is enough. This will happen every morning at 7AM and again in the evenings at 10PM. You'll be able to hear it no matter what room you're in. There isn't any punishment for sleeping through it, but you don't want to waste the day in bed, now do you? (Unless you were out exploring all last night. In which case, go back to bed, damn.) SURVIVORS REMAINING: 27

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week one of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

There are also two new posts for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]

Kitchen

[cherryblooded]

Good morning.

[Cherryblod's definitely pleased to see that nobody has burned anything down yet, particularly the kitchen. They sort of need it, if that vending machine doesn't turn out to dispense snacks.

He's making pancakes for himself, but he's making enough to either have leftovers or share with others.]

Sleep well?

[blastiarm]

Mm, yeah. The bed's nice. I don't usually sleep in one.

[zagi you can't just say shit like that and not explain]

You?

[cherryblooded]

[Probably travels a lot and camps? Maybe?]

As well as I could expect. Not used to sleeping alone, but the bed is nice.

[blastiarm]

[Got it in one!!]

Oh yeah, you're married. You miss her, right?

[...zagi has the emotional competence of a rock, so that's an actual question.]

[cherryblooded]

Of course. But she's a tough woman, so I'm sure she'll be alright.

[She's definitely not dead along with his daughter and the rest of the world. Nope.]

[blastiarm]

So you don't believe that guy about our worlds ending.

[Zagi pauses for a moment, staring up at the ceiling while he thinks.]

...It definitely doesn't seem like it could happen.

[cherryblooded]

There's no proof of it - he could be lying to try to get to us. Of course, he could also be telling the truth - right now I can't prove him wrong.

I'd rather believe it's a lie, if I don't know either way.

[It's simple optimism. There's no reason for him to drive himself into despair.]

[blastiarm]

Huh. Yeah. I guess I can see why.

[He shrugs a bit before continuing.]

It doesn't really matter to me. If my world was destroyed then that sucks, but I can deal with that. Adaptable, right?

[cherryblooded]

Your title certainly does seem to suit you. I have to admit, I admire that kind of practicality.

[blastiarm]

It's just something I've always done, I guess. I don't really think about it.

[He's done with the eggs, so he dumps them on a plate and tosses the pan in the sink. He'll clean that later, maybe. Until then, he's going to hop up on a counter and watch Cherryblod cook.]

[cherryblooded]

[The pancakes are coming along well! Cherryblod could probably make pancakes in his sleep. He doesn't mind being watched, either.]

Most people's virtues are like that. Things they don't really have to think about.

[blastiarm]

So yours would be... what, devotion? If your title's to be believed, anyway.

[cherryblooded]

Well, I have been with my wife for a few hundred years now, I suppose most younger people would be impressed.

[And even some people their age.]

My family's the most important part of my life now. Not terribly surprised that's what he thought to title me after.

[blastiarm]

I can't imagine caring about someone else that much.

[that's probably because you're fuckin' crazy, zagi]

[cherryblooded]

I think I must have said that at one point myself.

...Not that I'm saying you will, just that it can come as a surprise.

[blastiarm]

Huh. Well, if I ever start developing feelings, maybe I'll end up like you. I guess that wouldn't be so bad.

[...]

I can't even imagine it though.

[cherryblooded]

[Was that a compliment, because that sounded like one.]

It'll happen if it happens. In the meantime, you might as well enjoy the life you have now.

[blastiarm]

[zagi is not good at compliments...]

Yeah, exactly. And since I doubt anything actually happened back home, I'll continue to enjoy it once all this is over.

[cherryblooded]

[That was a pretty good one! For the emotionally stunted.]

I plan to do the same. The first thing I'll do when I get home, after I kiss my wife, is take a nice long swim out in the open sea.

[blastiarm]

Heh, sounds fun. Though apparently I dislike drowning, so I probably won't do the same thing.

[cherryblooded]

Don't most people who can't breathe underwater dislike that? Seems strange to specify it.

[blastiarm]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they would. And I'm pretty sure I would too, but it's never happened before, so I've got no idea why it's on there.

[cherryblooded]

Huh. Strange.

[But he doesn't really have more to say about that, so...]

...So what are your celebration plans?

[blastiarm]

I don't have any yet. I'll probably be fired by the time I get back, so I guess I'll be looking for a new guild to join. But I might just leave town and wander for awhile. That sounds kinda fun.

[cherryblooded]

Guess they won't take kidnapping as a legitimate excuse for absence from work.
