DAY THREE

[judgejudy]

DAY 3 Complex Population: 33 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. There's a workshop and tinkering lab that you can now access. It includes everything from power tools to more terminals (so no need to crowd around the commissary terminal to chat with Judy anymore). As tempting as all these tools may be, they cannot be removed from the lab. Only completed projects may be taken out of the lab. That said, it seems like someone may have already been here, as there's blood smeared on one of the terminal's keyboards. Also, anyone taking a stroll by the fountain this morning may notice something floating in the water: a boy's severed foot. — 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. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

...simpler times are over.

[Dojima puts the hammer aside and sits down. Oh boy, here's a sword once owned by Date Masamune. This is a crazy place]

Why was I brought into this place? It seems like everyone but me has something weird going on, and here I am, coming from a perfectly normal town, with a completely mundane life.

[...hahaha, if only he knew the details of the TV world...]

[mitsubou]

Oh, now I'm sure that's not true.

[Right? Mitsutada doesn't know who this guy is, but there's probably something cool and amazing about him!]

You should have more faith in yourself! Maybe you just can't remember something really important...? Or maybe it's because you're so normal that you've been chosen to stand out from the rest of us.

[becauseimacoward]

[Dojima takes out a cigarette. Good time as any for a smoke, although he doesn't light up the cigarette yet]

I do have faith on myself. It's just that I'm not used to this kind of...things, and if I have something strange going on with myself and I don't remember it, I'll have to accept it, I guess.

[He smiles wryly]

I suppose I'll get used to all this at some point. For now I won't think too hard about how impossible some of the stuff I have heard these days sound.

[mitsubou]

Everything has been pretty hard on me too, as unbelievable of a person as I am. [Though, adapting to a situation is something that Mitsudada does best! Even with the last unfortunate event, things should be getting back on track soon.

Hopefully.]

I think we're all sort of stuck in a hard place, but that also means we can rely on each other for support. [Except, y'know, the murderers.] We'll figure everything out with time.

Oh, and you shouldn't smoke in here! It's bad for your health. [Since Mitsutada got that Dad Talk, it's time to give Dojima the Mom Talk.]

[becauseimacoward]

Well said. Helping each other is the least anyone here should do.

[Dojima glances at this cigarette]

I can smoke outside if it bothers you. [Whooosh, there goes the point, flying over his head! But looks like it's because he's intentionally playing dumb here. He really wants a smoke right now]

[mitsubou]

Oh, that's... [Well, he supposes that'd be the next best thing. Since there's no Real outside, if Dojima's smoking where there's no one around, then it'd be fine.

Though it's ideal if he didn't do it at all... nudge, nudge.]

That's fine for now. But, there's also a lot of kids here, so please be careful not to expose them to the smoke!

[becauseimacoward]

I know I shouldn't. It's the kind of thing that's obvious for a father. [Dojima smiles wistfully]

...someone has to look for the kids in this place. There are three in my apartment, you know. There's something I should do to make sure nothing happens to any of them, but I don't know what yet.

[Well, Adam is almost an adult, and Leo is right behind, but since Dojima is the oldest person by at least three decades he feels he should responsible for all of them]

[mitsubou]

Oh, a father? How old is your child, or children?

[Mitsutada is also sort of a family man, so he perks up at the potential of children.]

But, yeah. I understand. My other roommate and I, Guy was his name I think, have sort of taken up the role of taking care of the two girls in our apartment. Especially after the events earlier, we know that not even kids are safe so... we have to do our best to protect them.

[becauseimacoward]

Nanako is seven years old, her birthday was a couple months ago. She may be alone at home right now. I hope she has managed to find someone to stay with while I'm here.

[Dojima would feel so much calmer about this all if he could at least talk to Nanako]

[mitsubou]

Seven?! That's rather young, and to be home alone too... are you sure there's no one that's watching over her at your house?

[Hopefully they're able to back soon. Mitsutada completely forgot that some of the people here have families to take care of.]

But, I'm sure she's smart and found a trusted friend to stay with until you return. I wonder if Judy knows about her condition...?
