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

Do you have experience with this kind of tools? [He gestures around. Two people who know what they're doing is better than one, after all!]

[turinged]

[she shakes her head with a frown]

I wish that I did. It would prove useful here.

[becauseimacoward]

Better late than never! Here, let me show you. I'm no pro, but I can teach you the bare basics.

[Dojima takes a few of the tools, putting them nearby. Hammers, saws, a couple drills...everything they would need to make a barrier if they wanted, except wood]

First than all, you need to be safe. Use these. [Have goggles and gloves, Ava. We don't need you to get hurt]

[turinged]

I would like that. Thank you, Dojima.

[it's with a smile that she takes the goggles and gloves, putting them on quickly.]

What do we do next?

1/2

[becauseimacoward]

Good. First we need to cut the wood in the right sizes [Dojima brings a large thin plank, covering almost the whole table, and takes an electric round saw, passing it to Ava] For that we'll use...

2/2

[becauseimacoward]

[Wait. No. This isn't a good idea]

...this may be too much for a complete beginner. [Dojima takes away the electric round saw and instead gives a traditional saw, with no electric components at all]

Try to use that. You'll need to apply some force but it should be a bit easier to control...I think.

[Here, have a plank. Dojima traces a relatively straight line from end to end and holds the wood down]

Give it a try. Be careful with your fingers.

[turinged]

[admittedly, she does look a bit relieved when he takes away the first tool and gives her the regular saw, so that's probably a good call. she puts a gloved hand on the wood (far from where she's cutting, of course) to steady it before moving the tool back and forth through the wood several times.]

Am I doing this correctly?

[becauseimacoward]

Try to use a bit more of strength.

[But you're doing well, Ava]

[turinged]

[since he's holding it, then, she removes one of her hands from the wood to hold the saw with both hands, using more pressure this time]

Is this better?
