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!]

Library

[cherryblooded]

[Cherryblod's taken a look already and is pretty sure the library contains only novels, but that doesn't mean it's not useful in its own way.]

Enjoying your reading?

[He can't help but joke around a little. But who knows, maybe she did find a good book to settle down with.]

[prismbloom]

[ She looks up, managing to give him a smile. ]

Cherryblod. It's nothing particularly informative, but it's interesting.

[cherryblooded]

That's what I'd expect from a novel. Doubt we'll find anything too helpful here.

[prismbloom]

Everyone who's been in here has said the same, but it's still worth investigating.

[cherryblooded]

Thank you for your hard work, Aqua.

[prismbloom]

Everyone's been working hard in their own way. I'm only doing what I can.

[cherryblooded]

Still kind of you. I'd like to appreciate people contributing even when they don't think it's much.

[prismbloom]

Thank you for your appreciation, then. I only wish I had more to show for it.

[cherryblooded]

It's the thought that counts.

[prismbloom]

[ She nods, clearing space for him next to her. ]

Would you like to join me? Two heads are better than one.

[cherryblooded]

I'd love to.

[He has a seat next to her, and reaches for a random novel.]

[prismbloom]

I've never even heard of some of these before. Strange--the library back home was extensive.

[cherryblooded]

If you believe that we're on another world, it's not too surprising.

[prismbloom]

It's not that difficult to believe, is it? Out of all the worlds I've traveled to, I've never come across any place like this. And the fact that he claims our worlds have been destroyed...

I have to wonder just how he brought us here.

[cherryblooded]

There are people who could do it, in my world. A powerful enough sorcerer could manage - or a strong enough demon. Nobody I know personally, except Chlomaki, but she's out of the question for a few reasons. Not least of which being that she doesn't sound like that.

[prismbloom]

A demon...

[ She mulls that over, turning another page in her book. ]

Somehow, he knows us well enough to write those profiles. He clearly has incredible power to bring us here and seal our abilities.

[ Is it really so far-fetched that this Kingmaker could be a demon, then...? ]

[cherryblooded]

Exactly. Doubt he's fully human, or if he is he has abilities you wouldn't see in an ordinary one.

[prismbloom]

[ She nods. ]

Do you believe him--that the only way out is to take someone's life?

[cherryblooded]

Not in the slightest. Nowhere is escape-proof.

[prismbloom]

Many others I've talked to agree. If we all work together, there's no reason we can't find a way out.

[cherryblooded]

Exactly. So there's no reason to get down about it just yet.

[Or to consider murder.]

[prismbloom]

[ She holds up a book. ]

With books like Downtown Tabby, it's hard to stay down for too long.

[cherryblooded]

Haven't read that one yet. Maybe I'll get to it after Pride and Jaundice.

[prismbloom]

I'll have to pick that one up, after I've read Ruby Stick.

[cherryblooded]

What's that one about? I haven't seen it yet.
