DAY NINE





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.

Indoor Garden, Morning;
[it's pretty obligatory to see what's behind newly unlocked doors at this point, isn't it? but honestly, this is probably one of the better surprises they've stumbled across.]

Look at that, we may be able to eat something other than canned slop for once. [the man is tired and injured for stupid bullshit reasons (thanks, rhys), so it's a little sad he's kind of excited about this. whoops.]



Recreation Room, Afternoon;
[alvin doesn't exactly cope well with high stress situations that well, he's not into the heavy atmosphere that hangs in the air. it's been getting to him for a couple of days, so he's looking to lighten things up without any really digging for much else.

so he's sitting in one of the chairs, perched on it in a way to not lean on his stab wound. he's shuffling a deck of cards, and he'll just casually ask whoever passes:]


Up for a game? [or just a chat; he doesn't usually play too many card games, but it's the easiest thing for him to do right now.]



Bar & Lounge, Evening;
[of course, the atmosphere is still pretty shitty. so before he heads back to his now-quiet as hell room, he'll stop by the bar for a drink. he won't mind company, though he's not really expecting it either.]

Sure, why not.

[Alice flops into a chair not too far away, looking bored.]

What did you have in mind?
betraitor: (pic#10640231)

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-01 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Poker, Blackjack... game of your choice?

[he's obviously just trying to kill some time and stave off the boredness too.]

I'm a pretty open guy. [hah.]
selfsufficiency: (i'll have you know i graduated)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-11-02 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Blackjack, why not.

[She shrugs and leans back in her chair.]

Do you want to deal or should I?

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-02 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
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: (top of my class in the navy seals)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-11-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles and holds out her hand.]

Okay, hand 'em over. ♡
betraitor: (pic#10640148)

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-02 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.]
selfsufficiency: (with precision the likes of which has)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-11-02 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[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?

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-03 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[gambling really isn't his cup of tea, but at this point? it's not like there's much point to explicitly refusing.]

Is there even anything worth betting on? [though it's not exactly an acceptance, either.]
selfsufficiency: (saying that shit to me over the)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-11-03 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Our votes.

[Alice smiles, setting the cards down before lacing her fingers together.]

We won't bet per hand - we'll just keep track of how many hands each of us wins. If I win more hands than you, you'll vote how I tell you to in the next trial. If you win more hands than me, I'll vote how you tell me to. How does that sound?

I can't even say I'm surprised you'd drive a bargain like that.

[this is definitely the worst kind of gambling, but it could be mutually beneficial, so...]

But it sounds like a deal to me. [the worst deal. a terrible idea. but alvin makes bad decisions all the time, and in a life or death scenario, he can understand a bit more why people would throw away plenty on a bet.]
selfsufficiency: (of the continent you little shit)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-11-04 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What else are we supposed to bet on in this place?

[Even if they'd all come here with money from their respective worlds, it's not like it would have had any value.

Anyway, time to deal their cards! I hope I'm doing this right, because I'm bad at blackjack and I had to google it. Alice picks up the deck of cards and deals a card to Alvin - the Two of Diamonds. She deals a card to herself - the Jack of Hearts. Alvin's next card comes face-up and it's the Ten of Spades; she deals her next card face down and then smiles.]


Sooo... Will you stand or hit?
modissty: (hm?)

rec room!

[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...
betraitor: (pic#10640147)

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-02 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[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?
modissty: (well okay)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-11-03 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I believe that it was called "war"? Miss Elizabeth taught it to me earlier.

[Since it was such a simple game...]
betraitor: (pic#10640169)

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-11-03 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
War, huh? Man, I haven't played that since I was a kid.

[not that it's a bad thing, just the game the adults would play with him when he was too young to understand things like poker. but that makes it kind of sound appealing, so he starts to shuffle the cards a bit before actually dealing the cards.]
modissty: (chipper)

[personal profile] modissty 2016-11-04 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
I was taught it because of its simplicity. The first time that I saw a deck of cards like this was a few weeks ago, so more complex games were a bit outside of my understanding...

[And then everything started going TURBOMURDER so he ended up not having any time to learn. Tragic. He'll wait politely for the cards to be dealt either way though, and then wait for Alvin to kick the match off.]
