mockweek

[A week has gone and past, as has the first of your number. The Researcher revealing himself, more or less, by punishing Patches, the Trusty, for pushing an unclear boundary.]

[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]

[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday Thursday

[Spy's starting to get nervous.

That in and of itself is cause for alarm. A Spy's job is to keep a level head- strike fear in the opposition, not the other way around.

But a week is a long time to be trapped in this place. He honestly expected his fellow mercenaries to storm this prison, by now. The fact that they haven't, and that he's no closer to finding a way out- it's worrisome.

He's spent a week keeping out of people's way, sticking to the sidelines, scoping out the area; it hasn't helped. Someone's dead, and any one of them could die next.

Spy needs to actually work together with these people if he wants to survive.

But first? He's gonna complain.]

Who even named these dishes, anyway? Good Lord...

[He's looking at the breakfast menu with something approaching disgust.

Much later, Spy will be hanging around the security room. He's not foolish enough to try the door himself, but he is going to snoop around for any hint of the Researcher- or Penny, for that matter.]

[Sorry Spy, the security room is locked tight, and does not appear to be opening on its own any time soon. Are you trying anything in particular?]

From:

boxtrot

[First of all, is the door soundproof? Is there any way to hear what might be on the other side?]

From:

mockmods

[Yes and no? The door doesn't appear to be soundproofed per se; if he listens closely and strains enough he can hear a faint electronic hum and the occasional automatic chirp of a computer doing something.]

[But beyond that, there doesn't appear to be anything TO hear at the moment.]

[However, as he listens at the door, an overhead speaker crackles to life.]

The Assistant is currently indisposed, Turncoat. Do you require anything immediately.

From:

boxtrot

[Oh, Spy does not like that. He looks up at the speakers, then looks around briefly for whatever cameras must be in the hallway.]

No, thank you.

[Looks like this expedition was a bust, huh.]

From:

mockmods

Very well. Do not hesitate to come to me in the Assistant's absence.

Presuming it is for a purpose besides wasting my time.

[You at least learned that whatever's going on between Penny and the Researcher is either not happening in the security office itself, or is very quiet?]

[But unless you'd like to fish for more information from your host, then yes, this seems to be a bit of a dead end, sorry.]

From:

biolence

An idiot.

[Rosa flops down across the table from Spy Boy with two (2) heaping plates of breakfast food and starts shoveling hashbrowns and eggs in her mouth.]

Or possibly someone who once worked at a Chuck E. Cheese.

From:

boxtrot

Of course.

[Spy begins to take a sip of his coffee, but pauses. He tilts his head slightly, bemused.]

Who the hell is Chuck E. Cheese?

[Ol' Charles Entertainment won't exist for another 7 years in Spy's timeline.]
