week zero





DAY 0
Complex Population: 36


( September 30 - October 1 )



You awake as if from a deep sleep.

The first thing you might notice are colors, since you'll find yourself sitting in a pretty garish room. This looks like a restaurant or cafeteria of some kind, but for now, there's no food in sight. At least you're not alone. There are 35 other people here, and they're all stirring too, probably looking just as confused as you are. As you wake, you're also likely to feel a heaviness on your ankle, and as you look down, you'll see what looks like some kind of ankle monitor strapped there.

Just as you might start to question where you are, a voice speaks up from an intercom system. It's a calm, cool female voice.

"Good morning, residents. Welcome to the Complex. We hope that you enjoy your time here. We'd like to thank you for choosing to stay with us."

Choose? Did you really choose to be here? Try as you might to recall that event, you certainly have no memory of that, though as you start to think, other gaps in your memory may appear... But there's no time to think of those, since the calm voice continues without pause.

"My name is Judy, and I'll be providing for your basic needs during your stay. You may contact me through any terminal in the Complex, though I may not always be able to answer immediately depending on what I may be attending to. As we are busy setting up for your stay still, it may be up to twenty-four hours before I can respond to any inquiries. For now, let's review your rooming assignments..."

Judy begins to drone on, calling out names as she lists off rooms and who is assigned to them, but no matter how you might protest, it seems like she doesn't hear you. Looks like you better get familiar with these people, since it sounds like you could be rooming with up to four of them.

"Finally, I would like to remind all residents that there are restrictions on both occupancy and a curfew. Apartments may not house any more than five people, and mandatory curfew begins at 11PM. However, these systems are not quite operational yet, so we will allow these rules to be broken until the proper systems are back online. We expect this to take no longer than three days, so you may enjoy this freedom responsibly until Monday evening."

Where you've woken up is a strange place, and many doors are locked, but there's at least some places open for exploration. There are also plenty of people seemingly stuck in the same situation as you, so they might be worth getting to know.

After all, who knows how long you'll be here?

Welcome to [community profile] 62! This is our first post, and it acts as a general mingle to start off the game. Check out the setting, make toplevels, and tag around. For now, Judy won't be able to be contacted (she's very busy, you know), so this is a general CR building post before we dive into the game proper.

The first night post will be on Sunday, so if you have a role, you should have already been contacted. This will begin the normal schedule as described here. There will be another day post on Monday, and this is where characters will have an opportunity to talk to Judy. In addition, as she mentioned, there will be a mandated curfew to go along with the rooming restrictions, but these won't be in effect until the next game post on Monday. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts!

Finally, remember that if your character would like to use the commissary to note what they're taking!

I think I'll pass on taking them all. My alcohol tolerance may be pretty good, but this doesn't seem like the best place to walk straight into a hangover.

[not yet, at least.]

But I guess this thing's really thorough after all, if you got this much out of it.

Haha yeah, you never know what might happen around here. How safe the drinks are is questionable too. [And she's not really interested in anyone conducting poison or rad tests.] Whoever programmed it made it for this designation. I wonder why? We've been kidnapped and the facility has a bar? It's weird.

Who knows? Maybe they're throwing us a bone, knowing we'd probably need a drink after being put through this.

[not that anything has even actually happened, but considering the fact that everyone seemed pretty alarmed by the circumstances, he'd say they knew something like this might transpire.]

Sounds a bit too nice. But this whole place is irritatingly nice. [She huffs as the bartender delivers yet another drink.] This robot really needs to be reprogrammed for something more useful than making any drink I can think of.

"Irritatingly nice..."

[that's one way of putting it.]

When you say it like that, it sure makes this place seem a hell of a lot more shady than it already was, no matter how many "luxuries" they're laying out for us here.
onepunchgirl: (I'm so blue)

[personal profile] onepunchgirl 2016-10-02 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
We should be thankful for the luxuries, but not fooled by them. Personally, I think the situation could be a hell of a lot worse.

[And that much Veronica is thankful for.]

But everyone has a room, food and clean water, and it seems like whoever is keeping us here wants us to survive the longterm. For what purpose seems unclear, but they wouldn't go through the effort of all this if they wanted us to die.

I can't say you don't have a point. I don't think many people here are fooled by it, but sure as hell want to know what their agenda actually is.

[they have the basics for survival and even a bit more; even if the living quarters are entirely too cramped and he's none-too-thrilled about his weapon situation...]

That's the part I want know.

One way or another, I'm sure we will. [People are going to riot without even a reason for their capture.] Anyway, since we're cellmates, how about we introduce ourselves. I'm Veronica.

Cellmates, geez, that makes it sound even worse. [even though she's really not wrong here at all. he draws in a breath—better to not dwell on it.]

The name's Alvin. Good to meet you... you know, kidnapping aside and all.
