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!]

No, nothing in particular. [Not right now, anyway.] I'm mostly trying to see the full collection of books that are available here.

[And then maybe reorganizing them... possibly... if he thinks its needed anyway.]

Is there anything you're looking for yourself?

[happysweets]

I see, I see! I'm mostly looking for the Gothic romance, myself. They're my favorites. But all the stuff here seems kinda gaudy compared to what I like...

[amygdalae]

[Gothic, huh...

Well, considering her dress, he supposes he shouldn't be too surprised.]

I don't mind helping you find something. There are a good number of fiction books, after all.

[Surely there should be at least one or two that suits her tastes.]

[happysweets]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm sure there's at least one thing in here I'll end up liking, but it's kind of tough to make sense of it all...we still haven't figured out why there are so many of these fake books to begin with, after all!

[amygdalae]

[A hint of a smile here.]

Its not as if we're lacking on time right now. [As long as nothing happens...] And I could use a break from looking through these books.

[To find... another book. Sure, Bruce. You do that.]

[happysweets]

Do you have a favorite kind of book, Mister Bruce? A lot of it seems kinda stuffy...books that are heavy on the details and don't have much interesting in the plot tend to be really boring, for me. But you seem like the type to like stuff like that!

[ Compliment(?) ]

[amygdalae]

[..................yeah he'll take it as a compliment.]

Well, I'm a scientist, so I do have to read those kind of books rather often.

[Just a bit of a smile here this time.]

[happysweets]

What made you want to become one of those?

[ Just out of genuine curiosity! ]

[amygdalae]

I suppose it just sort of... happened. I've always been interested in the topic from young.

[It seemed like the most natural path to take... even with everything that's happened.]

[happysweets]

Oooh! Well, you must have been really smart, as a kid! I was never really good with numbers and stuff...Misa-Misa's more of a words person than a numbers person!

[amygdalae]

Being good with words isn't bad either.

[...honestly, Bruce's own smarts has brought him more harm than good. But it is part of him, that much he can accept.

Not that it helps any.]

But it's honestly nothing that amazing. It's simply something I enjoy.

[happysweets]

My boyfriend is very good with both! He's very good at talking to people, and he's good at maths and stuff, too. He graduated top of his class and now he's at Tokyo University! He got a perfect score on the entrance exam and everything!

[amygdalae]

[Ah...

Right.

Bruce... nods. Yes.]

That sounds very impressive. [Actually the truth here. He does sound rather capable, from how she's described him.] He must be a very bright man.

[happysweets]

He is! He's named Light for a reason, after all!

[ Misa, that was...bad......... ]

I think he's the best. I miss him a lot, really...

[amygdalae]

[It was... but to be fair Bruce was kind of asking for it.

And here is a sympathetic smile at her plight.]

Don't worry. You'll get to see him eventually, I'm sure of it. [After they get out of here surely things will look up then.]

[happysweets]

I sure hope so! What about you, Mr. Bruce? Do you have a special someone? Huh? You must, right?

[amygdalae]

Ah--no, not really.

[LET'S JUST SAY ITS COMPLICATED. Everything about Bruce is complicated, news at eleven.]

[happysweets]

Ehhh?! Why not? You seem like a nice enough guy! Are you shy around girls? Are you afraid to love? Huh? Huh?

[amygdalae]

[Misa can we not go there please.]

I've just never... had the occasion.

[A bit of a wince here. It's a lie of course since there was Betty... but that was from a life he knows he can never have back now, as much as he wishes it so.]

[happysweets]

[ can't stop won't stop ]

Really? Really really? That's so sad...

[ He must be a very, very busy man, huh... ]

Well, everyone's soulmate is out there somewhere, you know!

[amygdalae]

Well, I don't think I'll be finding one in here any time soon.

[Said with the smallest of smiles.

...he's too busy worrying about everything to be honestly think of himself in any fashion, honestly.]

[happysweets]

Well, sometimes people find love in very unexpected places, you know...

[amygdalae]

Did you find yours in an unexpected place?

[Yeeeeep time to deflect.]

[happysweets]

Admittedly, the story of how Light and Misa-Misa met is, um...

[ wow uh, let's not get into that too much ]

Well, it's a very long story. But it was a bit unexpected, yes...

[amygdalae]

[How do you like them apples

But no, Bruce is nice enough to not pry.]

Well, however it happened, it seems like the both of you are doing well.
