day one





DAY 1
Complex Population: 35


( October 3 - October 6 )



It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always.

There's breakfast avaliable in the cafeteria if you want it, as well as meals from 11AM-12PM and 7PM-8PM, but otherwise? The day is yours. Take your time to explore the complex, relax, and enjoy each others' company, as who knows what the next day has in store?

Though as you explore, you may notice that there's a new door unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. One of the locked doors on the second floor is now open, so residents can partake in the clean, modest gym if you're the kind to keep in shape.


This post is for the first day as defined in the schedule. This post is for general mingling and CR buidling, and will not include significant plot interaction.

October 3

[Well this is new! Profiles. Dojima's is all the way down, the very last one, and he reads it with a sardonic smile]

Being stubborn...I guess they're right about that.

[Even if it's not a flattering thing, Dojima can't say it isn't correct. Besides, he has a lot of other profiles to read, and...and...what the hell is wrong here? There are so many profiles with oddities Dojima isn't sure where to be baffled at!]

This can't be all accurate. There has to be some sort of mistake in many of these.

October 4

[Dojima had checked the gym before and hadn't found anything that could help, but since he's here, well, why not to give some stuff here a try? He's no Hercules, but he's strong enough to use the gym equipment at respectable weights and difficulties, although...judging by the way he's straining, looks like he doesn't exercise that often.

Feel free to interrupt him if you wish]

october 3!

[Alice just sidles right on next to him and peeks over his shoulder while he's looking at the profiles... she's given them a look-see herself, and they seem pretty legit to her, but that's mostly because she's kind of a shithead.]

I don't get it. What's the problem?
becauseimacoward: (10)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-03 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, Alice! Dojima turns his head around slightly to see who was there. Your profile seems fine, but there are others, such as...]

Look at these..."Age, 967", "Age: 855", "between 200 and 300"...

[...]

There's no way it's correct.

[And that's without talking about certain abilities some of the people in this complex have, supposedly. What the hell did Dojima get into?]
selfsufficiency: (secret raids on al-quaeda and i have)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-04 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice shrugs.]

I mean, they don't really look their ages, but that's not unheard of...

[There are plenty of people who are more long-lived than that where she comes from, so maybe she's not the best person to commiserate with him on how weird this is. Sorry, Dojima.]

Almost a thousand years is pretty old though. How'd he last that long without someone picking him off?
becauseimacoward: (7)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not unheard of?!

[What the hell? When did the world turn upside-down? You know what, better not think about it too much or else he'll just not believe it]

It's not that hard to live without stepping on other people's toes. There's no reason to be killed.

[Said with all the lack of experience a forty-one years old person can have when it's about long lives]

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but the longer you live, the more likely you are to meet someone with a bad temper. With the wrong person, all it takes is one wrong word, and then... ♡

[Well that's a cheerful thought.]

Then again, I guess if you're that old, you'd be better at choosing your words carefully.

[If Sakyou was a more openly spiteful or petty person, he'd totally be being like "NYE-HEH" about the profiles right now...

But fortunately he's a mature dude! A mature ye olde dude, but nonetheless.]


I'll admit, there are some pieces of information in here that even I was surprised to see.
becauseimacoward: (15)

Re: oct 3!

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Bless your maturity, Sakyou!]

Like what, exactly?

[Your opinion is important, other people's insight is always useful. Since you're here Dojima checks Sakyou's profile, to see if he was one of the few that had gotten his attention. Nope, it wasn't, but now that he takes a second look...]

"Making sure people remember to bathe"?
modissty: (HIGH SCHOOL AU (high school au))

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-04 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
No, not that. I've had to do that enough times that I'm not surprised they've taken note of it.

[He lives with some real... stinky punks... Or just paranoid ones who don't like bathing in front of others.]

Mine isn't surprising, but I wasn't expecting to see some of the others - that's what I meant. The ages are a little...
becauseimacoward: (24)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[What a skill to note. Then again, Dojima and his 'being stubborn' isn't really any better. Shrug]

Yes, the ages. Of course no one can be eight hundred years old. And some people's skills...look at that: "magical forms of combat", "scorpion-summoning", "mass murder"...

I'm really hoping something went wrong when typing some of this information.

[Because otherwise everyone is in bigger trouble than expected, and Dojima will have no way to deal with any of that]
modissty: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Considering he comes from a place where demons and possessed swords and ghosts are all totally real things that people deal with on an every-day basis, he doesn't seem too perplexed.

Concerned, though? Definitely.]


If it's correct, we'll have to be more discerning in the way we go about things here, I'd imagine.

[interesting...]

Are you a private investigator or a detective, or is it merely a hobby?
becauseimacoward: (32)

Re: october 3rd

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[After some recent conversations Dojima would like not to make everyone put too much stock into his detective skills, but...it isn't like he can hide it now]

I'm a police detective, back at home. I guess there's no sense in trying to keep it secret now.
turinged: (hungry for the histories they show me)

[personal profile] turinged 2016-10-04 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[a slight tilt of her head]

Why would you try to keep it secret? It is a good career.
becauseimacoward: (33)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Look around yourself, we're all trapped and at the mercy of a kidnapper or a group of kidnappers.

[Dojima raises his voice slightly]

Wouldn't you count on the detective to solve it all? I'm a trained professional, but I can't promise to get everyone out of here just because I'm a detective.

I'd rather not to get anyone's hopes way too high.

[Dojima is not lacking in skill - in fact he's rather good! - but he can't carry everyone's hopes just like that. He fully intends to catch the kidnappers and make them pay, but he'd rather work without people relying on him for everything]
turinged: (just one day and then)

Oct 3rd

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-04 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's just going to look over Dojima's shoulder before shrugging. The profiles aren't a huge concern to him, really. He's seen enough weird things in his world this seems almost normal.]

What makes you think there're mistakes?
becauseimacoward: (16)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh hey, Luke. Dojima scrolls through some of the profiles]

They can't expect anyone to believe someone is more than 200 years old, much less that there are three like that here.

[He stops in Luke's profile, eyeing it with puzzlement]

And several profiles have such...fantastical "skills" I'm seriously wondering if they're trying to pull my leg.
chiseler: (tell me)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-04 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. One of these kind, huh? Luke doesn't seem bothered by Dojima's disbelief and almost appears sympathetic. It's hard to believe these things when you haven't lived them your whole life.

Of course when Dojima pulls up Luke's profile he fixes him with an innocent look. Go on. Ask whatever you want to ask.]


What makes you so certain these are just a joke? [A pause.] Wait there's three people here hundreds of years old?
becauseimacoward: (12)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-04 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. The oldest person is 967 years old. [As if that could be true.

Speaking of weird things, now that you're here Dojima may as well prod you for explanations as to the stuff you have in your skills, Luke! And he knows very well what to start with]


"Scorpion-summoning", Castellan?
chiseler: (well it's all because of me)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-04 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's actually kinda young in some parts of the world. [It's hard to say if he's serious or not, but given the impish grin he's...maybe half-serious. The question only prods him to lift a hand, snapping his fingers and...nothing.]

Think it's broken, but it's not wrong. [Who's going to argue with him?]

[The profiles are not a pleasant addition, but they offer information about the people housed in this complex. Her skills seem accurate, as well, but... reading the part that details her "identifying features." It makes her rolls her shoulders, feeling the implants on her back tug at her skin.

It's only the slightest bit disconcerting. But seeing this man comment about the profiles—]


... Have you found an inaccuracy in yours?
becauseimacoward: (4)

Re: oct 3

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-06 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No, mine is correct. I'm more concerned about a few of the other profiles.

[As an example, he shows Mitsutada's profile and taps at the age, "Age: 967"]

Does this look to you like something that could be true?

[He's fully expecting a 'no']
injectors: ( live action ) (020)

[personal profile] injectors 2016-10-07 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. The guy looks human, so saying "maybe he's an alien" isn't an excuse. The more you know.]

No. If it were, I would be concerned about what health issues he could be facing. [#oldmanjokes] Perhaps even curious about how he achieved such longevity, assuming he's human.
becauseimacoward: (38)

[personal profile] becauseimacoward 2016-10-07 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[The joke gets Dojima to stop frowning for a moment, snorting with amusement. He didn't expect that]

I'll ask him later.

[He kept scrolling]

Although I don't know if I'll believe anything he tells me. I'm having a hard time understanding all these...strange things. 'Psychic knowledge', 'fonic artes', anything that seems like magic. I don't know what to think of all that.
