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]

Yeah, they sure as hell are. I have no idea how my world matches up with the rest of yours, but I don't think they're supposed to match up. Maybe the point was to bring people from different times and places for this stupid game.

[lackinginfaith]

You're telling me. I haven't seen anyone else from 2003. Most of them are ten or more years off.

[blastiarm]

Yeah, none of you guys are close to where I am, so...

[don't ask what it is, tales of vesperia is not clear about this at all]

[lackinginfaith]

Well, wherever you are, it's probably too different to tell anyway. Maybe some worlds are just like that.

[blastiarm]

Yeah, I think so. None of you guys have blastia at all and it's probably the most important thing about my world.

[lackinginfaith]

What exactly is blastia, anyway?

[blastiarm]

It's a power source. You can use it to power weapons, but it also works for all sorts of other things. Barriers to keep monsters out of towns, powering ships and machines... there's a lot of stuff. People use them so they're powerful enough to defeat monsters on their own, but even with a bodhi blastia it's still dangerous to fight monsters.

[AND IT'S NOT EVEN FUN because they're too weak.]

[lackinginfaith]

So you have monsters and a power source that runs everything, and no one else has heard of it here. No wonder your world developed so differently.

[blastiarm]

Yeah, pretty much. We kinda had to rely on blastia because the monsters are way too strong. But blastia's from an ancient civilization, so we can't make any more of them. It's complicated.

[and zagi never cared about history, so...]

[lackinginfaith]

So the technology wasn't preserved?

[blastiarm]

Nope. We dig 'em out of the ground and I dunno, do something so they'll work again. I'm not involved in that. Ruin's Gate is the guild responsible for excavating blastia.

[lackinginfaith]

Sounds like a small society.

[blastiarm]

It's not, actually. The Empire's got a lot of people in it and the guilds are pretty impressive too. Zaphias is the capital for the Empire and the guilds are located out of Dahngrest, but there are a lot of other big cities too.

[lackinginfaith]

Oh, really? It sounds interesting, anyway.

[blastiarm]

Not really. I guess maybe it might be to someone not involved in it, but I find it pretty boring. The guilds and the Empire are on the verge of war because of tensions between the two mostly caused by blastia, blah blah blah. Boooooring.

[zagi no]

[lackinginfaith]

That kind of thing isn't boring, it's important. Don't countless lives depend on how it goes?

[blastiarm]

Yeah, but I'm not involved at all. Why should I care?

[...........this explains everything about him, doesn't it.]

[lackinginfaith]

You--

[We were doing so well and now she's grabbing for the front of your shirt to drag you up off the floor.]

You don't understand life at all, do you?

[blastiarm]

[HERE WE GO he's going to try to pry her hands off immediately though LET GO--]

Why do you care? They're not your people! For all you know none of what I actually said is true, so why are you getting so worked up?

[lackinginfaith]

[fine she'll just shove back]

For all any of us knows, the Kingmaker could be right! Isn't it natural to worry? And what do you know about my people, anyway?

[blastiarm]

I don't know anything about your people. I'm just assuming you care so much because you're a princess. That's what you're supposed to do, right?

[...]

Listen, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice. Either find a way to calm down or be careful about who you murder.

[He's smirking and he reaches down to scoop up his roller slippers.]

See you around, princess.

[AND OUT HE GOES]

[lackinginfaith]

...

[Caren doesn't follow him for a while, just standing there with a hand on her shell pendant.]

At least someone in here cares about something.
