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!]

[Oh, look, it's one of his damn favorite people around here. You encourage him to be a dumbfuck and you don't like Mouri and you are completely fuckless, so naturally he loves you.

...You also don't understand a damn thing about tape for some reason, bless your...heart...]

Having some trouble, sweetheart?

[blastiarm]

...Why is this tape gray?

[Well, clearly Zagi is doing great today. Aren't you so glad you stopped by?]

[ratingspoint]

...It is really boring, isn't it.

[...Mettaton, that's probably not the issue.]

[blastiarm]

Uh. I guess? I'm not used to tape being gray. Or this... thick. What the hell's this stuff made of?

[ratingspoint]

[Ohhhhhhhhhhh.]

Are you not used to duct tape, sweetheart? It's amazing - it holds pretty much everything together, supposedly.

[blastiarm]

Duck tape? Why the hell is it called that?

[??????????????

oh my god he's so confused]

Does it really hold everything together?

[ratingspoint]

[...MOVING...RIGHT...ALONG...]

Pretty much everything! Apparently scientists swear by it - if it's moving and it's not supposed to be, slap some of that on it until you can fix it.

[...well, he knows what we're doing to you if your arm breaks]

[blastiarm]

Oh hey, that's great! I should probably take some of this in case something happens to my arm since apparently that asshole Kingmaker won't fix it for me.

[hella rude tbh

...and this may be a necessity, he's already gotten coffee spilled on it who knows what disasters will befall his arm next]

[ratingspoint]

...Remind me not to get too injured, then, if functioning limbs aren't a necessity by his standards.

[blastiarm]

Apparently they aren't. I guess having only one arm is totally fine with him! Ugh.

[Zagi sets aside the box with a sigh and opens up the next one. Oh hey, toolkits!]

Oh, these might be useful too.

[zagi no what are you doing you don't know anything about mechanical stuff]

[ratingspoint]

...Do you even know what you're doing with those?

[blastiarm]

Nope, but I'll figure it out as I go. "Adaptable", right?

[zagi no]

[ratingspoint]

...You know, as long as you don't want to practice on me, knock yourself out.

[blastiarm]

Of course I'm not going to practice on you. I'm really curious to see how this thing's working if the blastia itself isn't working!

[#priorities

also he knows next to nothing about blastia

he's that bored already]

[ratingspoint]

You know what, I'll bite. What is blastia supposed to be, anyway?

[blastiarm]

None of you guys know...

Blastia's like a power source. You can use it to do things like create barriers or use magic, but it also works for powering up regular attacks too. They're basically used for everything, from lighting to water purification, and even weapons.

So if this thing's functioning as an arm, it has to be a blastia. But since it doesn't do anything and I can't use my artes... the blastia's not working. It doesn't make any sense.

[ratingspoint]

So you need a separate power source to use things like that?

[That's...interesting, actually.]

I know humans were able to do magic on their own a long time ago, without anything like that - just the strength of their souls. I'm not sure if they still can, though. The very few I met before this place couldn't.

[blastiarm]

I don't know anything about souls. But it's got nothing to do with that, anyone can use magic if they study and practice enough. I could, but I don't have any interest in it.

But yeah, blastia are weird. They're not something that can be created, there's a limited amount of them. They're dug up from ruins and I guess they're fixed up so we can use them? But you can't create blastia, so there's a rush for everyone to get their hands on them. I don't know much about it.

[He never paid attention and had no interest in learning any history. So naturally he's the one person from his world here.]

[ratingspoint]

[...this is the stupidest thing he's ever heard]

So why use them at all if anyone can use magic?

[blastiarm]

You can't use magic without blastia.

[........he thinks???? guess who also doesn't know shit about magic.]

Besides, even if you could everyone's so used to relying on blastia. Why mess with a perfectly good system?

[we're all slack fucks]

[ratingspoint]

...Because it's not a perfectly good system, from what you just explained?

[blastiarm]

Eh, it's good enough. We haven't had any problems with it.
