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.

A long time. Very long time.

[ a good... hundred years, maybe? give or take? Bigby's still nowhere near the level of professionals participating in tournaments, but then again, it's always been an idle hobby. he didn't have many of those other than doing his job, smoking and drinking. for a guy who's just now shooting with a cue stick for a second time, he's doing pretty good in comparison. ]

Take another shot. We aren't playing for anything, so it's better you get more time in learning how the stick feels in your hands.

[ THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!! ]

[There's a little humming sound in reply, a neutral noise of interest.]

Is it because you enjoy the sport? I'd never seen anything like it before arriving here. ...Which could be said for near everything else.

[From the lights to the style of clothing to the food... It's a struggle being ye olde in a completely different way from certain oldass people. The phrasing has him curious, though--]

Ah. Is this game also popular for gambling?

[Makes sense, he guesses. Anything could be made into a gambling game if someone tries hard enough... He lines up his next shot in the meantime, experimenting with tucking his elbows in a little more to see if that has any effect.]

Yeah. Not a lot of things I do is what you'd call "peaceful", so it's good to play every now and then to clear the mind. Especially at a place like this.

[ kind of funny. the guy that likes to tear apart doors and cause mayhem also enjoys a pseudo form of meditation by watching a bunch of balls bounce against a table. everyone has their quirks, including the Big Bad Wolf.

Bigby studies the way Sakyou attempts to correct himself with his second shot, refraining from saying anything to distract him from learning on his own. at the mentioning of gambling, however, he makes a noise of agreement. ]


Heh. It's mostly why people play it. A lot of players like to hustle. You know, say they're shit at the game, lose a couple times and make the other guy think they're in for easy money. Then they pull the rug out from underneath them. ―I don't gamble, though. Stupid thing to get addicted to.

[i sure did hit enter before i finished that tag ANYWAY tucking his elbows in does bring the ball a little closer, this time. It comes very close to dipping in and only stops shy because he'd underestimated the amount of strength he needed to put behind the shot. A bump against the table would be able to knock it in at this distance, though, even if Sakyou's too much of a good bean to cheat and just leans away to let Bigby go.]

I see... I suppose there is something about it that's a little calming. It's nice to have something else to focus on, at least for a short while.

[Worrying about murder 24/7 is a good way to get entirely burnt out, after all... As for all the talk of gambling:]

Mm... Elizabeth said something similar earlier about card games. I've never understood the draw of gambling myself, but it's all illegal where I come from, anyway.
