week zero
![]() 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 ![]() 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! |

... Nothing? Do you remember anything about yourself? Your name, where you're from...

[ Okay, that's easy enough. She takes a deep breathe, having said her name a little too fast the first time. ]
Minatsuki Takami. I'm from Japan. The last thing I remember is... [ ??? ]
no subject
That's alright, though, you shouldn't strain yourself. Your memories will have to come back at some point, they never just disappear. [ Probably? He's not a doctor. ] Is there anything else you can tell me about yourself?
no subject
Wait... Um. A-Are you missing some of your memories too?
no subject
The last thing I remember is going to sleep. But then... I don't remember what I was doing before going to sleep either. So something's going on here.

[ She looks down, probably close to crying, but she won't yet. There are no tears, but she apologizes for it anyways. ]
I-I'm sorry. It's natural to be scared, right? I think I remember going to school, but I'm not sure.
no subject
[ He shakes his head. ] Don't apologize, this is really strange. It's weirder for people to take this in stride. Do you, uh, need anything?
no subject
No, you're very kind... thank you. [ ... ] What's your name?
no subject
I'm Adam Parrish. I'm from the US. Um, it's summer vacation for us right now but I'm in high school. How old are you? I'm sure your parents are looking for you as we speak.
no subject
[ She's pretty sure? She doesn't remember much, okay. ]
I'm sure they're really worried... your parents too. [ BUT IF HE'S FROM THE US WHERE ARE THEY... ] M-Maybe they'll be able to find us.
no subject
Hopefully your parents would call the police. I think that's the only way to find us... this seems like an international incident, right? There's people from all over here. [ He gives her a smile that doesn't look super happy. ] We might end up on the news. Have you ever wanted to be on TV?
no subject
Minatsuki shakes her head at the question. ]
I don't think I'd like to draw attention to myself... But if it's resolved soon then m-maybe it won't cause too much of a fuss. We don't even know why we're here...
