day one

[judgejudy]

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. character statuses character profiles private conversations

You wouldn't really need it, but that's sort of like asking why anyone would need powers at all. Pretty dumb question. [His hands slip back into his pockets.] Or better yet, why would anyone need to know how to make coffee? They're comparable.

[You so did that jab on purpose, Luke. Dojima pinches the bridge of his nose]

You just compared creating scorpions out of thin air to making coffee.

[...]

You know what, nevermind. Whether it's all true or not doesn't matter. What matters is if people can truly use those skills in this place, and there's the possibility anyone who does have those powers intact will deny it when I ask.

[The expression on his face says something akin to "who said out of thin air", but let's not get into that.]

Are you really planning on interrogating everybody who has some form of magic skill on their profile? [He sounds more intrigued than annoyed, but that's a lot of effort Dojima.] The thing about it is you don't ask. If anything, you can always just trick them into exposing themselves.

[becauseimacoward]

Someone has to do it. May as well be me. [Look, if this whole 'magic' thing is real and someone has it intact, maybe something could be done to escape? It's worth a try]

The problem is that I have no idea what the deal with all this 'magic' thing is. How am I supposed to trick them when I don't even know what I should watch out for?

[There's a noise in the back of his throat like he disagrees. No. No, nobody has to as far as he's concerned, but he knows that won't hold a lot of weight here. Mortals want to understand everything they can't pinpoint immediately. Dojima just appears to be sort of a nosy mortal.]

Well...pick a profile. Pick a profile and a skill you want to expose.

[becauseimacoward]

[Luke, it's like four or five people! That's not a lot of work to do. Dojima shows Jade Curtiss' profile. Anything that sounds weird is magic, right?]

Fonic artes. There are two that have that listed. That sounds like magic to me.

[Dojima is sure he can deal with Alice and Adam, but he isn't willing to share his plans with Luke]

[chiseler]

Dunno what fonic means. [But he's reviewing Jade's profile.] But you could always engage with Guy and get him to explain. Seems like he's good at that.
