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!]

[ Thursday has Aqua taking stock of the baked goods in the kitchen--they seem to have been eaten fairly quickly, at least, but there's still a lot available. She's almost tempted to make more, but... instead, she sets her sights on making lunch for everyone. Hopefully you've put your information down on the list on the refrigerator: It has columns for your name, preferences, dislikes, and allergies in that order.

Later on, she'll pop by the storage room to check over everything. She's made a pretty extensive list, but she just wants to make sure all is in place.

Aqua's also taking it upon herself to ask around about different games from each world. Here, she's in the dining room. She has a book open--The Haunting of Rain Boy, if you're curious. There's even some treats and tea set out for anyone. Just don't take some without talking to her, that's rude.

Finally, she can be found at several times during the day just walking around the hallways. There's not much else to do here, after all. Geez.

[Ho hum, putting his information down on the list while wearing a maid dress. Nothing unusual here.]

You're very kind to do all this cooking.

[prismbloom]

[ well that's

that's sure a thing

but as long as he's comfortable. ]

It's more that I'm not sure what else to do here, other than read books and get items from that vending machine.

[cherryblooded]

True. I haven't exhausted the library yet, but it's only a matter of time.

[prismbloom]

With you working so diligently, I don't doubt you'll make steady progress before long. Have you found any interesting books?

[cherryblooded]

Depends what you find interesting, but I did read some novels I enjoyed.

[prismbloom]

I'm interested to hear about any of them.

[blastiarm]

[While Zagi's not really one for tea, he is definitely here for free treats, so he takes a seat across from Aqua and shoves one in his mouth.]

...Still not poisoned, right?

[when will he ever stop joking about murder]

[prismbloom]

[ She looks up from her book, and she actually manages a smile. ]

Of course not. I'm not ready to give him the satisfaction of taking someone's life.

[blastiarm]

Good to hear. I'd be disappointed if you did.

[He'll just get comfortable in this chair, leaning against one arm and kicking his legs over the other.]

Did you find something interesting to read?

[prismbloom]

I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone, then.

[ She shows him the cover. ]

It's a ghost story, from what I've read so far. It's not bad at all.

[blastiarm]

Oh, a ghost story might be kind of interesting. What's it about?

[prismbloom]

A boy who moves halfway across the country into an old house. His mother doesn't quite believe him, but he's convinced there's something going on. [ She runs her fingers along the letters on the cover. ] That's as far as I've gotten, though.

[amygdalae]

Do you need any help with the cooking?

[Bruce had come to refill his tea, but it is close enough to lunchtime, so it wouldn't hurt to eat something.]

[prismbloom]

Good afternoon, Bruce.

[ She gestures to a pile of vegetables nearby--potatoes, carrots, onions... ]

I thought about roasting those with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you wouldn't mind cutting them up, I would appreciate it.

[amygdalae]

Good afternoon.

[He returns the greeting as he glances over to the vegetables that Aqua pointed towards, nodding quickly in agreement to her words.]

Of course, I wouldn't mind doing that at all. Have they been rinsed?

[prismbloom]

Not yet, no. I've been a bit distracted working on the lasagna.

[ An all-cheese lasagna. Bless her heart. ]

[amygdalae]

[You're trying Aqua. That is important.]

Oh? That sounds interesting. [He remarks as he goes to start taking the vegetables, putting them on a plate and bringing it to the sink to start rinsing them.] What are you putting in it?

[prismbloom]

For those of us who don't eat meat, an all-cheese lasagna. For the others, a basic one with beef.

[notjustawriter]

You're quite kind, Miss Aqua. I'm not much of a cook, myself.

[And don't worry, he's already written down his preferences; thankfully, he's easygoing. No allergies, and the only thing he has a dislike is "canned green beans" for some strange reason.]

[prismbloom]

It's no problem, really. I enjoy cooking. [ She pauses. ] Just Aqua is fine. [ "Miss Aqua" sounds a little stuffy. ]

Canned green beans? I have to admit, I'm a bit curious.

[notjustawriter]

Aqua, then.

[No problem!]

Y'ever had them before? When they're canned, all the flavor is sucked outta 'em. It's always best to eat them fresh, though in this place, I somehow doubt the Kingmaker is going to be givin' us fresh veggies.

[prismbloom]

I've never had canned vegetables, no, but I'll be sure to stay far away from them if I can help it. I haven't had any trouble finding fresh produce, at least.

[notjustawriter]

At least we've got fresh food, huh?

I do wonder where it's comin' from.

[prismbloom]

I'm not sure we'd get an answer, even if we asked the Kingmaker a hundred times. Still, it's good to know we won't have to eat anything unhealthy while we're here.
