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

If you're worried about it, we can feed them to someone we don't like first to check out.

[But with such a wealth of other ways to kill people in this place, Alice sort of doubts they're going to have to rely on poisoning a bunch of plants which haven't even been harvested yet to kill them off.]

[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?

[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.

[modissty]

[Alice no, Alice stop, ALICE CALM DOWN. Sakyou just politely won't comment on her plant-based schemes, focusing instead on harvesting a couple more carrots. He's no farmer Enishi, but there's something soothing about a simple task like this.]

I think I saw sprouts over to the left that might be leeks. Would you like any of those?

[selfsufficiency]

[can't stop won't stop]

Leeks? [She pauses to think about it, then nods.] Yeah. Those will work. Do you like them?

[modissty]

I guess you could say that I find them a little nostalgic. The flavor is nice, anyway - more mellow than onions.

[Up another couple of carrots come, and then Sakyou shifts to stand, dusting dirt from his palms.]

I'll get a few of those, then.

[selfsufficiency]

[Nostalgic leeks? Alice doesn't really get it, but she nods and moves to start harvesting some potatoes.]

A mellow flavor will work well. I think I saw canned milk in the kitchens, so if it's still there, I'll be able to make a creamy stew.

[The leeks would be better in that case, probably.]

[modissty]

After so many weeks of the other canned foods, something like that sounds incredible.

[NECTAR OF THE GODS... Even if it's just a stew with some weird biodome veggies and canned milk.

Sakyou moves over to harvest some leeks after that, though, working pretty efficiently.]

[selfsufficiency]

[Weird potentially poisonous biodome veggies and canned milk... what a way to go.]

It'll be good. I'm not a terrible cook.

[Decus is probably better at it, though, since she usually orders him around. But he's not here right now, so she'll just have to work this out for herself.]
