DAY FIVE





DAY 5
Complex Population: ???



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. Even better, it's two rooms! You'll find a dated computer lab, but at least you can play classics like Kid Pix and Ski Free. Connected to the lab is also a small movie theater, though the movie selection only goes up to 1940...

Also, anyone taking a stroll by the fountain this morning may notice something odd about it. The water is red.


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.

Let's look. Maybe we can loot something.

[ wHY IS THAT YOUR GO TO IDEA OF WHAT TO DO AT A GRAVESITE ]
selfsufficiency: (but just another target)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[...but there's no option to loot the grave and it wasn't even a funny pun so I didn't screenshot it. Alice huffs, annoyed, and continues on.

Or tries to, anyway.]



What idiot was playing with fire in the wagon?! [PROBABLY JEFF. But six miles later, they make it to Fort Laramie! They can buy supplies, thank god.]

More oxen, some more food... anything else, Shijima? We don't really need more ammo and I think we have enough sets of clothes already since Bigby died.

[They could buy some wagon axles, though.]
liven: art credit unknown, please contact (CHAT ► well that's dumb.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose we lost, what was it...wagon axles. Whatever we need those for.

[ ... ]

Can we trade Jeff for supplies?
selfsufficiency: (speak up bro i can't hear you)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She actually tries to find an option for that...]

It won't let me.

[SIGH. She'll just have to pay for the axles, then, which she does... and then, onward to Independence Rock! ...somehow they make it there without incident and that's boring, so onward again to South Pass.

On the way they find an abandoned wagon with three sets of clothing.]


...huh.

[Their luck is actually pretty decent...? They make it to the pass without problems, too.]

Do we want to go for the Green River crossing or go to Fort Bridger?
liven: art credit unknown, please contact (CHAT ► well that's dumb.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't really need any more supplies currently, do we?

[ AND SHE HATES TALKING 2 PEOPLE SO SHE WON'T SUGGEST TALKING 2 NPCS... ]
selfsufficiency: (what unholy retribution your)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we're okay on that for now.

[TO THE RIVER THEY GO.]

Oh, this one is almost 22 feet deep, so I guess we shouldn't try to ford it. [...] I still don't want to pay for a ferry. Should we try and float the wagon again?
liven: (REMARK ► whatever don't care.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
We may as well.

[ THIS CAN ONLY END BADLY ]

It's just making our own ferry, right...?
selfsufficiency: (over 300 confirmed kills i am trained)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, something like that.

[THEY HAD NO TROUBLE FLOATING THE WAGON ACROSS?? only one member of this group is dead what the heck, I'm disappointed, game.

Onward to Soda Springs... Along the way they find some wild fruit. Nobody wants to trade there so they continue on to Fort Hall!

...and get lost, losing four days.]


Ugh, I bet Jefferey was navigating.
liven: plz don't take this one (DEADPAN ► and then he died.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ HOW ARE THEY WINNING....... ]

It needs to let our characters do things more. We'd do it better.

[ JUST SAYING ]
selfsufficiency: (this tea needs more vodka)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[I DON'T KNOW I EXPECTED MORE DEATH HONESTLY...]

No kidding! [Alice is sort of getting bored... she still wants to hunt down the ox thief.

...oh. Uh.]



That's... unfortunate.
liven: (DISCUSS ► i guess that's so.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Do we have no medication?

[ she doesn't seem that beat up over maybe future dying...oh well ]

...Can we sacrifice Jeff before me?
selfsufficiency: (i'll have you know i graduated)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
They never gave us the option to buy medication, which is sort of shortsighted if you ask me.

[HMMM.]

If it was a poisonous snake, maybe he can suck the poison out.
liven: (DISAGREE ► no thanks.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
They never seem to let us do anything logical.

[ rude af ]

Since doctors aren't an option, I suppose we'll just have to go onwards...unless "Enter" gives us other options.
selfsufficiency: (sniper in the entire us armed forces)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just letting us look at our supplies and change how fast we're going... nothing about medicine.

[BOO. Onward to Fort Hall. They find another abandoned wagon but this time there's nothing in it... nobody wants to trade at Fort Hall and nothing useful is for sale there, either, so they continue on.

Next destination: Snake River Crossing. Kind of ominous, considering Shijima's snakebite. ...on the way they get lost again and lose 4 days. And just before they get to the river there's another wagon fire, but they only lose four sets of clothing.]


It's a thousand feet across. Wanna float it?
liven: (SIT ► glance over at.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's worked so far, so there's no reason to pay these ferry people.

[ #YOLO ]
selfsufficiency: (in gorilla warfare and i'm the top)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)


[WHY AREN'T WE DYING.]

Ooh, good! We did it!

[Onward to Fort Boise...]
liven: art credit unknown, please contact (CHAT ► well that's dumb.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD AT OREGON TRAIL. ]

We're getting good at crossing rivers, I suppose. Where's the skill in this game...?
selfsufficiency: (secret raids on al-quaeda and i have)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure... [The wagon just keeps on rolling along, until:] Oh, about time.


[He's still not dead, but it's more in line with what she expected to happen to Jeff.

On the way to the Blue Mountains, a box with "Bad Water" pops up a couple of times, but somehow no one gets sick? WEIRD. But now it's time to make a choice.]


Do we want to go to Fort Walla Walla or head for The Dalles?
liven: (Default)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. We haven't lost anything much enough to need supplies, so lets keep going.

[ WHATEVER ]
selfsufficiency: (over 300 confirmed kills i am trained)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, phooey.

[One of the oxen dies before they make it to the Dalles... but they have no choice but to keep on keeping on despite the hot August weather, the bad water, and the inadequate grass. 5 miles out they find an abandoned wagon with clothing and bullets.]

Okay, so we can either float down the Columbia River or take the Barlow Toll Road. I still don't want to pay anything and floating has worked for us so far... what do you say?
liven: (POINT ► as a matter of fact.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's float it.

[ WHY NOT. WHY PAY WITH THEIR FAKE MONEY FOR SOMETHING THEY CLEARLY CAN DO ALONE. ]
selfsufficiency: (this tea needs more vodka)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)


[And their luck runs out because Britt is bad at minigames and didn't realize she could move the floating wagon when a rock was coming up...]

...oh, uh, oops. Sorry, Shijima.

[They make it the rest of the way without incident, though... welcome to Willamette Valley! ...oh. And that's. Oregon, apparently. Fck. If I'd known how to dodge the rocks they would have all survived.]


[Alfendi and Alice are the only survivors.]

What a weird game.
liven: (DUBIOUS ► glance aside.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-17 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I took Jeff down with me.

[ AND THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

...Did we win, I guess? [ dubiously ]
selfsufficiency: (and i can kill you)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-17 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so. It says we made it to Oregon and that was the point of the whole game...
