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

....A wasteland, a desert or 2281.

Got it.

Thanks, Veronica. I hope you gave them hell.

[selfsufficiency]

Blackjack, why not.

[She shrugs and leans back in her chair.]

Do you want to deal or should I?

[selfdenying]

I figured that out a while ago. We're all your science experiments, or something. What exactly are you looking at, though? Your experiments seem random and poorly designed, at best.

and you should come here and say that to me in person, Rice. Just a suggestion :O.

[judgejudy]

They're a bunch of cowards. Drugged me, shocked me, all because they couldn't fight me on even ground. They aren't deserving of mercy.

Is that a challenge? I kind of like those. Maybe I'll see what I can do...got nothing else to really worry about over here.

[judgejudy]

Suburbia. Cute little neighborhood, a place we created ourselves and can keep creating. It's nice here. A little stifling, but nice. We can see everything from the TVs here.

[judgejudy]

It didn't need to be, but it did. That's how people got killed, Elizabeth. It became me versus them before they even had any proof, don't you DARE go into how it didn't have to be us versus you guys. My life was apparently less important than yours from the get-go. Everyone who listened to Franziska seemed to already decide that.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure I thought of you as a person the times I spoke to you. The times I tried to get you to think. The times I took interest in who you really were as a person. I wanted to see how you thought, and hell, maybe I was starting to enjoy your company.

But you're not gonna believe a monster anyway, are you?

[selfsufficiency]

it might be
just how useful can you make yourself from over there, i wonder?

[becauseimacoward]

[Huh. Curious, curious. That doesn't fit what Dojima thought a place where dead people could be would be like. Sure, it wasn't like he had much time to think about it - just since Adam supposedly received that message - but he thought it'd be like another complex, not...that]

Sounds like you have control over the place you're at. A medium where those residing in there can mold and modify according to their wishes.

[It's mostly a request for a confirmation of such supposition, but it sure gives a few ideas...]

Have you gotten in contact with someone who isn't Judy or anyone in the Complex?

[betraitor]

It's only fair that the more trustworthy one of us does the dealing, right?

[at least... he has a sense of humor? (alvin, no.)]

[selfsufficiency]

[She smiles and holds out her hand.]

Okay, hand 'em over. ♡

[modissty]

[OH, ALICE. Just as Alice-y as usual...]

I don't think I'd like a second person's blood on my hands.

[Or poison vomit, either or... ANYWAY, on a lighter note with less murder:]

What sort of vegetables do you need for what you're making?

rec room!

[modissty]

[He's gonna be a card game pro by the end of this game, honestly... That said, since he could use the distraction too, there isn't much of a pause before he nods.]

Alright. I only know one game, though...

[Sooner or later (let's be real, it's later, it's slow going when you're single-footed) Leo manages to make it to a terminal. Just like in the beginning, he's managed to figure out the basics by watching and poking around, but he's still a Ye Olde--and now he has to attempt to type while balancing, so his messages may be a little messy. HE'LL DO HIS BEST THOUGH.]

adam are you there it's leo. [No point in holding a conversation if the person he wants to talk to isn't even available!] i saw it. can everyone read these messages

[judgejudy]

We couldn't do uniformed experiments because you're all different. Now see, if you were all the same, maybe it would have been cleaner. But you've got five different personalities and then all of you assholes and it makes things a little more complicated to get results we want. Everyone responds differently.

[judgejudy]

Not falling for it, Alice, but nice try. On the other hand I'm the one who brought this forum to you didn't I? I'd say that's a bit more useful than most people. Don't underestimate me.

[judgejudy]

Something like that. Parrish asked for a library. I asked for a movie theatre. We're getting both, I think.

And dunno. I haven't tried because I think it's pointless.

[judgejudy]

I'm here. And yes they can. You can respond privately but I think that takes longer. This is a faster way to communicate. If it matters. I have plenty of time.

[selfsufficiency]

aww phoey :(
bringing the forum over has set up some pretty high expectations
don't fall short of them!

[selfsufficiency]

[look........ it would be boring if she wasn't]

If these things are poisoned, someone's bound to keel over from them eventually. If we feed them to someone, at least we stand a chance of getting something out of it.

[If making someone a taste-tester to check for poison counts as murder, anyway. Would they both get memories back if they collaborated on it? A Mystery.]

I can make any of these vegetables work, probably. But the heartier the better. Potatoes, carrots... onions would be good too.

[becauseimacoward]

Give it a try at some point. Even if it is pointless, there's no harm in testing the limits of whatever place you're at.

Don't make assumptions. Test and make conclusions.

[That's the detective's way]

[betraitor]

[he'll lean forward and hand the deck over with no complaint.]

You're the dealer, that makes you boss here. [he knows how to play to his audience, at least.]

[betraitor]

[if this was anywhere else, alvin probably wouldn't have even gone for it; he's not a gambler, but considering everything in the complex is a much higher gamble? probably not too shabby.

either way, he arches a curious brow as he motions for sakyou to sit.]

Yeah? What game's that?

[selfsufficiency]

[Alice nods, taking the deck and then shuffling it before looking up at him.]

Okay, here we go... Oh! To make this interesting, we should bet on something. What do you say?
