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!]

[ If there's one thing Aqua does when she's stressed, it's bake. That's the reason behind all those delicious smells wafting from the kitchen. She's trying to keep her mind off of things, but at the same time, she knows her--their--situation warrants some serious thought. Still, at least she can do this. Come in and take a treat or several; she'll even encourage it.

When Aqua's not baking like her life depends on it, she can be found milling around the place. She's explored a good portion, but... she has to wonder if she's actually found everything there is to be found.

Finally, she can be found in the library later in the evening, trying (in vain) to learn something about this place. Nothing ventured, nothing gained... right? ]

kitchen

[blastiarm]

[What is that delicious smell--]

Oh, hey, that's a lot of food. Are you cooking for all of us?

[prismbloom]

That was the idea. Most people can't pass up a freshly baked treat, from my experience.

[ She gestures to the spread. ]

Please, help yourself.

[blastiarm]

That's pretty nice of you.

[...]

Suspiciously nice. They're not poisoned, are they?

[He doesn't seem too serious about it though, since he's already picking a treat up and shoving it in his mouth.]

kitchen

[lackinginfaith]

[Where there's food, there's Caren. She follows the smell of baking and pops her head into the kitchen.]

Is that for everyone?

[prismbloom]

[ She nods, pulling a sheet of cookies out of the oven. ]

Whoever wants any of them, yes.

[lackinginfaith]

[She'll just be stealing one of whatever's already cooling.] Nice of you. Promoting togetherness, huh?

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.

kitchen

[isafraid]

[Sooner or later, Speedwagon would have to risk using the kitchen himself. For better or worse, he'd have to learn eventually. Maybe he could ask...

Right now, he was more preoccupied by those wonderful smells.]

Thought I smelled something like a bakery in here.

[prismbloom]

It's one of my hobbies. If you'd like, help yourself.

[ Because there's so much here. So, so much. ]

Kitchen

[sleepingkogoro]

[Something smells delicious. You are bound to attract a lot of people's attention, Mouri included. Excuse him while he enters and momentarily hums happily.

Baked goods are always great for improving one's mood, and if there's something Mouri needs right now is to be in better mood, especially if this is happening after that disastrous meeting.]

Seems like you have been quite busy, haven't you?

[prismbloom]

For a while, yes. It's proving to be popular with everyone else.

[ Enough that she's thinking about making this a more frequent thing. ]

library

[ratingspoint]

[After the...meeting earlier that day, Mettaton's kind of been in a Mood; nothing too terrible, just sort of irritable, and the library is the sort of closed-off place that he's seeking out once all the yelling is said and done and he can't find anything else to do with himself.

He isn't expecting Aqua, but he doesn't seem bothered by her presence, either; he just smiles like he's supposed to and his tone is appropriately bright when he addresses her, even if he does seem to have located his indoor voice in the interim.]

Finding anything good, sweetheart?

[prismbloom]

[ She turns to him, then lets out a sigh. Aqua's learned some things, sure, and she's gotten an idea of this world's literature, but anything useful? ]

The books aren't bad, just a bit... uninformative.

[ And that's what frustrates her. ]

kitchen

[neverafters]

[ A bird also notices the delicious smell... and so the little caped figure pokes his head into the place. As Aqua's back is turned, she probably could feel his presence there--but he's attempting to be sneaky anyway. The King looks at the sweets in longing... but he's no thief, and doesn't stretch a wing out to take anything. ]

Re: kitchen

[prismbloom]

[ When she does turn, she actually... doesn't look too surprised? Instead, she gives him a smile. ]

Hello. Help yourself, if you'd like--it's for everyone.

library

[spearheaded]

[ seeing as pearl and aqua are practically the librarians at this point, she's glad to see her when she comes in. ]

Hello, Aqua. [ a sigh, followed by a tiny smile. ] No luck with anything so far. I predicted the major twist in "Arson on the Downtown Express", so I figured it was time to put it down.

[prismbloom]

Good evening, Pearl.

[ She puts down her own book, Tortoise with Immortality. ]

It seems like a lot of these works have predictable plots and endings. The one I read ended up being nothing more than a convoluted mess, in the end.

kitchen

[amygdalae]

Those look very nice.

[And there's Bruce from the entrance, coming in with an empty cup of tea he had just finished earlier out in the dining hall. He had seen Aqua coming in earlier, but didn't know she was the one behind these aromas.]

Just as good as they smell, even, if not better.

[prismbloom]

[ With each person who comes in, Aqua's even more glad that she'd decided to do this. ]

Thank you. If you'd like, help yourself. I believe the shortbread will pair wonderfully with tea.

Milling around, why not

[bloodisthicker]

[While Tarrlok prefers a more hands-on approach to taking care of business like less cautious members of the various mobs, he's never been the one doing the bulk of the investigative work due to the fact that he's not actually a policeman. Still... criminals are pretty ingenious, so you learn a thing or two when you've seen a few hidden stashes of illegal cactus juice that the Triads are importing.

So Aqua will probably find him scrutinizing a wall like it's personally offended him before he notices her.]

Well, hello, Miss Aqua. You wouldn't be happening to have any better luck on the finding anything suspicious front, would you?

[prismbloom]

[ On the contrary, Aqua shakes her head. She's been pretty restless, which has allowed her to investigate nearly everywhere, but... ]

No, nothing at all. I've checked the room with the incinerator, but it's spotless. The laundry room didn't reveal anything, either.

Kitchen!

[goingdigital]

[There are lots of way to summon teens to a specific room. Fantastic smelling food tends to be the most effective, though.]

Hey these for everyone? They smell delicious.

[Don't mind him, he's just going to swipe and eat a couple before Aqua can answer.]

[prismbloom]

[ She nods, putting the finishing touches on a batch of cupcakes: fresh maraschino cherries, atop a mountain of chocolate frosting. ]

That was the intention, yes. Help yourself--there's more than enough for everyone.
