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!]

[blastiarm]

Don't forget he also replaced my arm.

[He holds up his metal left arm in explanation.]

[cherryblooded]

Very good point. Considering however much that must have cost, it would have been much simpler to just let you keep your arm.

[blastiarm]

It's also a blastia. That's apparently just something from my world, so... there's that too.

[cherryblooded]

If he couldn't have replaced it on this world, then he must have replaced it on yours. Which he claims is destroyed.

[blastiarm]

Either that or he took the technology from my world? I'm not sure if that makes sense or not.

[cherryblooded]

Even if he just took the parts, then he would have to have replaced it here - how long were we asleep for?

[There's really no way to tell, is there.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Do you feel any pain or discomfort? Was there any blood on your clothes or anywhere in your room?

[blastiarm]

No blood, but I'd say there's a bit of discomfort getting used to a new arm. This thing's heavy! That's probably why the weight on my profile is wrong too.

[sleepingkogoro]

I see! [Discomfort is good enough. There's never harm on confirming if the wound is recent or old, and all points towards it being new. Mouri writes that on the copies of Zagi's profile he made for himself]

Would you say you are a good fighter?

[blastiarm]

The best.

[That comes without hesitation or any sort of over-the-top claim. He states it like it's a fact.]

Anyone being able to sneak up on me or knock me out is simply out of the question. I was in the middle of a fight, but the guy I was fighting obviously isn't here. So I've got not idea what happened.

[happysweets]

Wait, your whole arm?! W-was it missing before you got here?!

[ WHAT THE HELL, ARE WE DEALING WITH DR. FRANKENSTEIN HERE..... ]

[blastiarm]

Well, not the whole thing. It goes up to about my elbow. The rest is some kind of shield-thing, I guess?

[hell if he knows, tbh

...this is also clearly not all that distressing to him]

[happysweets]

How can you be so nonchalant about getting your arm lopped off and getting a new one?! Even if it is a cool robot one!

[ Says the girl whose top priority was to scrutinize her picture. ]

[blastiarm]

Why get worked up about it? What good is that going to do?

[...but it does help that it's a cool robot arm.]

[happysweets]

...

I guess complaining won't bring your old arm back, but...that's certainly something I'm positive no one would judge you for making a big deal over!

Can you wiggle your fingers with it?

[isafraid]

[nani the heck]

Don't tell me you had your arm before you woke up here...!

[blastiarm]

Yeeeeep. It was perfectly normal and everything. I wasn't seriously injured either, so this really wasn't necessary.

[isafraid]

My condolences then... Losing an arm isn't usually as simple as finding a replacement for it. At least, not where I come from.

[It's actually kind of interesting... after he gets past the freaking out part.]

[blastiarm]

Yeah, it shouldn't be this easy back home either. I don't know what most people do, but replacing an arm with a blastia doesn't seem like something most people would do.

[isafraid]

Can't say it would be. Can't say I'm knowledgeable of a 'blastia' or the like either.

[Why do all of you have these confusing words.]

[pokexplorer]

[Did someone say arm tech--

Colress is just gonna eyeball the heck out of it. Hi Zagi.]

Fascinating...! And you said you recognize that it is intended to have some sort of function other than everyday mundane use?

[blastiarm]

Uh. Well, yeah. I'm a fighter and this thing's built pretty heavily. The extension here-- [he touches the larger part over the forearm that comes up past his elbow] looks like it'd be useful as a shield. Plus, the only way this thing would be functional at all is with a blastia. If it's already got a blastia in it, it'd be pointless to leave it just as an arm and not weaponize it.

...But to be honest, that's mostly just a guess. I don't recognize it, so I don't really know what's going on with it.

[pokexplorer]

I see. So this 'blastia' is the centerpiece to maximize the potential of your new mechanical arm.

[Is this like, a different technology to energize humans?

...


Neat.]

Could you at least see yourself making good use of it? Considering the likelihood that you may not get your original arm back.

[blastiarm]

I don't really have a choice. Either I learn how to use it or I give up fighting and that's not happening.

...Given the weight, it'll take awhile to get used to. I feel a little slower and I'm definitely heavier with this thing, so some of my moves won't be quite as effective, buuuut I can definitely make use of it, especially if it's weaponized in some way. The strengths could outweigh the problems it'll cause, but I can't tell that until the blastia's working again.

[He's stupid as hell but he's put a lot of thought into how this will impact his usual fighting style.]

[pokexplorer]

[Colress nods along to show he's following. When Zagi's done, he can't help but smile.]

I see why you've been given the title of Adaptable! That is a fine quality to have. I look forward to seeing your progress, should you practice with it here.

Is the blastia truly not working, though?

[He's only learning the concept of the thing, so he can't really say if he could help with it...]
