DAY FIVE

[judgejudy]

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. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

No. [ He knows who it is based on voice. Dojima certainly isn't in his good graces at the moment but he's also too frazzled to really care. ]

No, how could I want coffee when... Have you gotten an email?

[becauseimacoward]

If you say so. [Suit yourself, Adam]

No. No emails at all. Why do you ask? [He isn't really too tech-savvy when it's about the Internet, but there doesn't seem to be anything beyond the internal network of the Complex, so he hasn't checked his account.

He's just making suppositions]

[antietam]

[ He's quiet. Is it just Luke sending things? How? ]

I got something from Luke. Are you sure? There's an inbox on the computer. I don't know how but I definitely got something.

[becauseimacoward]

[...you know what, just in case, better check again. Nope, nothing]

Are you sure you saw a new email from Luke? Can't it have been a file written at an earlier point?

It'd make sense for staff members to have access to these rooms before anyone else.

[antietam]

It's new. He mentioned what he told me during the... execution. It's not possible for it to have been written earlier.

But you're right, he knew about this room. He would know how to send things to the computer here. That means... he's somewhere that can connect to this computer without internet.

[becauseimacoward]

[What, so...Luke may not have died?]

Try to reply to him. Find out more.

[Good, a chance to find answers! And if there's someone who would talk a bit more, it's Luke, if only for Adam's benefit]

[antietam]

... I don't know how. [ He gets up from his place on the ground finally and goes back to the computer. The email isn't there anymore. ]

It's gone, how would I reply? I want to. He thought I was mad at him, I think. So he might not reply again.

[becauseimacoward]

If he's somehow alive then that somehow makes one question the executions' validity. It's a very long shot, but Diva and Lara could be alive too.

[...that's very farfetched, but it's better than nothing, and after the whole magic and long-lived people stuff that's in this place, one can think something as outlandish as that can happen, right?]

[antietam]

They could. But maybe they're... out, you know? Gone from this place.

I wonder if the kids are too, or if it was real for them.

[becauseimacoward]

I doubt it. We all saw the bodies, last time a few got rather close to Khu'rain's corpse. It's unlikely the murders were fake.

[Poor children, dead irreversibly. Still...]

If we're talking about hypothetical scenarios, taking off the monitors would allow anyone go outside. That'd explain why those were taken away from the bodies.

[Or at least the victims' bodies. Not that it explains anything because hey, there were bodies. There's no way those were fake]

[antietam]

But we haven't even found a way outside. Is there a point for them to take precautions like that when we don't know how to get out?

... Next time we think there's a staff member, we can't kill them. We have to get information from them first.

[becauseimacoward]

By the time we find another it'll be too late to interrogate them. I don't see why a caught staff member would sit and talk amicably with the person assigned to execute them.

[Because, without Judy's announcement of someone's employee status, the chances of pinpointing anyone as 100% staff member are very low]

[antietam]

It wouldn't be amicable. We have people who are eager to torture, right? [ This is a change from his trial attitude about torture. ]

The executioner has an advantage. We're not going to get anywhere by randomly guessing and receiving no information from it.
