DAY NINE

[judgejudy]

DAY 9 Complex Population: 18 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. There's breakfast available 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 few new doors unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. Behind one door, you'll find a neat, tidy classroom. Like the Media Lab, none of the textbooks seem to cover anything past the 1940s, but if you'd like to do arts and crafts, the supply closet may be your place to spend the day. Across the walkway, there's also a small garden for growing fresh vegetables, so maybe you can finally be somewhat free of canned food. For once, there's nothing amiss about the Complex. — 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

yeah that's fine. i'm still really sorry btw

[judgejudy]

We are dead. It's hard to explain, but we aren't ghosts or vengeful spirits. But we are definitely not alive. Trust me, I don't think anyone could Frankenstein me back to life especially.

[judgejudy]

Yeah I know, I kind of figured that out after a while. Update me privately if you want, I can't see everything I used to. Do you know how lame it is to be locked out of some of the things I used to have?

But I appreciate the effort. Don't let them beat you up too hard.

[tearable]

Why can only five leave? What's waiting for us outside of this complex? Do you know?

[judgejudy]

No, it's really fucking not. Not with the people who are running this Complex. They could easily "kill" us a second time with a button push.

I would explain my feelings further, but that no good fucker Judy will likely just redact anything useful I can say.

-Santangelo

FORUM MODERATOR NOTE: She is correct. :)

[OKAY WHOAH NOW he needs to take like a single deep breath because there's information going on here. Info is good. FOCUS ON THE INFO, ALFENDI]

What??? Who's sleeping with the enemy?

And your thing is REDACTED by the way, what is it, some kind of magical zombie staff? Are you zombies? How can you be dead and yet typing???

[judgejudy]

I don't know anything about the "five" thing unfortunately. I have suspicions, but I think Judy would just redact it.

As for what's waiting outside... it's home. But not the one you know.

-Santangelo

[judgejudy]

Yes. But why spoil the surprise?
Only five can leave because that's what was permitted before we were all brought into the complex.
So it became a game of last man standing.
You understand don't you?

[judgejudy]

Just so you know, death really won't be better for you, specifically.

[selfdenying]

That makes no sense!! The dead are DEAD. The dead don't type out responses to people on a computer!

Don't tell me we're in some kind of weird purgatory and we're ALL dead or some tripe like that!

ELIZABETH GOT STABBED AND SHE WAS IN THE SAME APARTMENT AS ME CAN';T YOU COUNT

[He might....actually be pounding the top of the terminal with a fist he's that mad.]

Who saved you, your stupid boss, the Overser???

[judgejudy]

No, that's not the situation. Although kinda wish it was, because that would be so much better than the actual reality.

I guess the best way you can think of us are [ CONTENT REDACTED ]

(Also if a ton of this gets redacted I'm sorry, Judy is such a piece of shit. Kinda wish we voted for her that one time.)

-Santangelo

topic: so what

[liven]

this place probably isn't reality. i already said that was an option. the loss of abilities intrinsic to our persons and the very specific memory holes do not seem like they can be directly the work of drugs. that leaves magic and ninjutsu and other forms of illusion.

but who really cares at this point? we die or we don't, it doesn't seem it makes a difference in the long run since everyone can still bother one another regardless of which side of the equation they're on.

honestly the only thing making suicide not the prime option to avoid any of this is that apparently we still have to deal with this idiocy no matter how dead we are so why even bother. unless you can do something to get us more bedding and bandages i'm not particularly interested in entertaining any of this any longer.

cue purposefully enigmatic remark about how little i know and whatnot. honestly, mysterious doesn't look as good on humans as it does on cats.

[selfsufficiency]

okay well
if you're lying i'm going to make it
e x t r a
painful when you die

Re: VTBBS

[injectors]

Not yet a question, but I am glad to see you're all still with us.
In a sense, that is. Though I doubt that's comforting.

[selfsufficiency]

UGH
if you're who i think you are i can't believe i ever thought you were interesting

[selfdenying]

Yeah it was redacted. THANKS JUDY.

So what should we do, then? If you """die""" but don't really die, then why have this game in the first place? If the stakes aren't real, what's the point?

Just how bad is it? Are you in the Complex?

[selfsufficiency]

well
if something awful happened it probably only happened to two of them since there's someone who wasn't at the trail who voted
so you can rest easy i guess
or... easier
if you rest at all now that you're dead

[judgejudy]

You :) Well all of [ CONTENT REDACTED ] actually, but the question is which one of you is it? I know.

Oh, that happens sometimes. Uh, braaaaains or whatever.

Don't be a moron.

[karachan]

[ Here's Ookurikara, typing as slow as ever but there's (1) thing he has to get across if this whole talking to the dead via this terminal is actually real? He has more of a reason to believe they can then others but he's not about to share why. ]

mitsutada
i got it

i know you told me not to be but i'm sorry i'll figure things out as much as i can on my side so you do the same over there where that is

[ u think that's the end of it BUT THEN ] tell kei he's a baby

[tearable]

Home... you mentioned that to me before... Do you mean time or environment?

[selfdenying]

[.............]

You have the gall calling me a moron, moron.

By the way, what was stopping you from just killing everyone else and going along your merry staff way, huh? Just how many people can you kill per night??

[tearable]

If this is a game, why does Judy insist we signed up for this? It's involuntary.

For a game, I'm not having fun.

[jackhole]

no it's cool it's cool I'VE GOT THIS I SWEAR

[jackhole]

PER APARTMENT!!!!!! SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN FIVE. I WAS USING THE ROOMING ASSIGNMENTS OH MY GOD

duh!!!!
