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.

If I minded, I would have just told you to leave when you walked in.

[She's rude enough to act like she owns the place even though she totally doesn't, after all.]

...they seem to think some of us would do that. [She would, honestly.] Why spend money and time setting all this up if they think it would go unused?
modissty: (well okay)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-18 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is Alice like this...

But he supposes that makes enough sense. He just sighs a little, glancing back toward the screen and the men currently getting their asses kicked by the laundry lady.]


It's good to have a distraction in some ways, I suppose...

If we wear ourselves out before the trials, we'll be too tired to figure anything out at them. We have to rest while we can.

[That's the logic she's using to justify herself if anyone asks... the truth is she's just really not all that broken up about all the death and murder.]

[Alice... At least she's kind of making a vague effort to pretend to be a normal human.]

It certainly makes sense when you phrase it that way.

[With the subtle implication that he understands she's phrasing it that specific way on purpose, good lord.]

...Do they have any other things here, or is this what we do? Watch this...?
selfsufficiency: (as we speak i am contacting)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-19 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice just smiles at that implication, completely unbothered.]

They had other things to watch, if that's what you're asking. [She shrugs.] I just picked this one because it sounded interesting. And in that other room, back there, there are games.
modissty: (breaktime)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-19 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
They aren't like the game in the other area, are they? The one with that... "Oregon Trails", I believe?

[WHAT A MORBID GAME that he died almost instantly in because Kei is a terrible wagon leader.]
selfsufficiency: (in unarmed combat)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-19 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you played that one too? [Alice perks up quite a bit.] Did you manage to make it to Oregon?
modissty: (gentle judgment)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-19 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Sakyou, in the exact opposite reaction, just looks Tired.]

Not at all. Rather, our wagon leader got two of us killed at the second river... The rest died of illness.
selfsufficiency: (get off my case i did nothing wrong)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-19 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[That's it. Just an oh, punctuated by a little smirk and a snicker, and she looks off to the side so he can't see how she's trying not to burst out laughing.]

...that's too bad. ♡
modissty: (breaktime)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-19 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[LOOK... Just. Look here, punk, he can see the amusement here.]

He did his best.

[He was a fckin moron, honestly.]

Did you make it?
selfsufficiency: (in over seven hundred ways)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-20 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mm~hm.

[She hums her answer, still unable to stop from smiling.]

It was easier than I thought it was going to be. I guess I got lucky.
modissty: (mmmmmmmaybe not)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Luck does seem to be a big deciding factor, but you likely made better choices at the beginning of the game, as well.

[Unlike Kei "500 pounds of food for 5 people" Keison.]
selfsufficiency: (and i've been involved in numerous)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-20 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I bought a lot of bullets. ♡ They didn't let me use them, though... not even when a thief came and stole things out of my wagon.

[Which. Rude. She totally would have shot them if she'd had the choice to.]
modissty: (you cant spell murder without demure)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-20 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL NEVERMIND THEN, GOOD LORD. Why don't people focus on the important things like food and spare parts???]

Indeed... Well, they wouldn't allow us to eat the oxen when we ran out of food, either. I suppose the game is simply set up that way.
selfsufficiency: (arsenal of the united states marine)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-20 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's pretty stupid. Then again, I guess if there wasn't enough grass for them to be eating, you wouldn't be able to make much from them.

[The real question: why can't they eat their wagonmates?]
modissty: (well okay)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
True enough. There were definitely more efficient ways to use some of the things we were given, in any case.

[Exhausting. What good are the ox if you can't eat them when your wagon breaks down, honestly.]
selfsufficiency: (you are nothing to me)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
You can say that again. ♡

[None of the choices they were able to make were really smart or effective. Which makes her wonder - ]

Do you think they had a reason for putting that game there for us to play?
modissty: (HIGH SCHOOL AU (high school au))

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-20 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[THEY STILL DID THEIR BEST. Even if they died with all these useless oxen...]

Well... I do think that they wouldn't have done it for no reason, with how carefully everything else seems to be planned.
selfsufficiency: (over 300 confirmed kills i am trained)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-20 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[She makes a face as she tries to consider it.]

It seems like a lot of people had trouble winning it when they tried to play it. Maybe it was just supposed to remind us of how futile struggling against all this is supposed to be.

["Supposed to be" because screw you they caught a staff member.]
modissty: (mmmmmmmaybe not)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-21 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[GOOD WORK SQUAD now if only they could get to Oregon.]

That could be it, yes. Ava suggested that it was placed here to be a distraction, as well.
selfsufficiency: (sniper in the entire us armed forces)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-21 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a very good one, if it is. It's kind of a boring game once you've done it once.

[Like, what's the point?]
modissty: (insight)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-10-21 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
True, but the repetitiveness might be soothing to some.

[NOT HIM. But some. Maybe.]

Do you think it's more likely to be a message or taunt, then?
selfsufficiency: (are you serious right now)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-21 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's more of a taunt. [Alice shrugs - soothing or no, from the sound of it, it does sound like more of a taunting thing.] Even when I played through and won, I didn't do it without people dying or without losing a bunch of things.
