trusthell | WEEK 1.

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

[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!]

A demon...

[ She mulls that over, turning another page in her book. ]

Somehow, he knows us well enough to write those profiles. He clearly has incredible power to bring us here and seal our abilities.

[ Is it really so far-fetched that this Kingmaker could be a demon, then...? ]

Exactly. Doubt he's fully human, or if he is he has abilities you wouldn't see in an ordinary one.

[ She nods. ]

Do you believe him--that the only way out is to take someone's life?

Not in the slightest. Nowhere is escape-proof.

Many others I've talked to agree. If we all work together, there's no reason we can't find a way out.

Exactly. So there's no reason to get down about it just yet.

[Or to consider murder.]

[ She holds up a book. ]

With books like Downtown Tabby, it's hard to stay down for too long.

Haven't read that one yet. Maybe I'll get to it after Pride and Jaundice.

I'll have to pick that one up, after I've read Ruby Stick.

What's that one about? I haven't seen it yet.

It seems like it's about a legendary sea creature whose only weakness is a scepter made of ruby. [ She reads the back. ] "And one man's obsession to bring the monster to justice."

Huh. Strange thing to be weak to, but in novels they can make anything make sense.

It is strange, but that may make it all the more interesting.

I rarely read stories that are completely ordinary, after all. Think most people are the same.

I agree. I'm curious, though; what is your favorite book?

Hm... The Monkfish, probably.

I've never heard of it. What is it about?

Mostly about a fish's guide to contentment through spiritual awakening, but there's enough subplots to keep it from getting boring.

It must be fairly long, then. I'll have to see if I can find it here.

Haven't seen anything I recognized yet, so I think it's unlikely...

I don't recognize any of the books here, either. It would be more comforting if there were something familiar, but it seems like the Kingmaker is aware of that.

Doubt we'll get much of anything from home... Though, there's still an elevator, so I could be wrong.

I just have to wonder how we're supposed to access it.

...Good behavior?

[It's a thought.]

It depends on what he considers "good behavior."

[ Is it murder? Living peacefully together? It's probably murder. ]
