[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

[Before he even begins trying to figure out this dessert challenge, Spy goes to Penny.]

I see you're not dead. Where were you for the last several days?

[Finding out information >>> trying and failing to bake]

[Ah, fuck. can't believe you've done this

Spy gets manhandled back to the kitchen, but not without a lot of whining.]


Get your hands off of me, you horrible reptilian! This suit costs more than you can even begin to comprehend.

[He huffs and wipes nonexistent dust off the front of his lapels.]

Fine. I'll play this game, for now. What are we supposed to be making?

boxtrot: (And none of them would know)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
Why would you think I was paying attention? I was questioning her!

[They're gonna wind up making fucking pasta instead of a dessert]

I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR ATTEMPTS TO FLIRT! BAH! JUST PUT SOMETHING IN THAT OVEN!

[delicious]

boxtrot: (And smile as they grip their own)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
I'm in my forties, I'm not flirting with a girl who looks half my age!

[But fine. Spy looks at their station with a sort of mild panic. He's... not a fan of trying to work together with a giant crocodile, and he's pretty sure this is gonna go horribly, so he should chose something simple.]

How about pasta?

[We're doing this lepo we're fucking making this happen]

Date: 2018-12-04 07:47 am (UTC)
gangplankgalleon: (can’t you see you’re one of us?)
From: [personal profile] gangplankgalleon
YES! FINE! MAKE SOME SPAGHETTI, WE JUST NEED SOMETHING THERE PRONTO!

[and so lepo wakes up from a stoned stupor and writes about pasta]

boxtrot: (And try to do the same)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
[lepo u are so valid

Spy huffs, but gets to work. Spaghetti is simple- there's no way this crocodile can screw it up for him, right?

He gets started on chopping up vegetables for now.]


Do you know how to make meatballs, or do I have to hold your hand through the process?

Date: 2018-12-04 03:05 pm (UTC)
gangplankgalleon: ((and this scaly skiiiinnn))
From: [personal profile] gangplankgalleon
Of course I know how to procure balls of meat! What do you think I am - an ape?

[he is, in fact, carrying a fuckton of raw meat that he is forming into a bowling ball sized ball]

Date: 2018-12-04 03:25 pm (UTC)
boxtrot: (I'd rob my own apartment)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
No, I think you're a horrible little sewer dweller.

[Spy doesn't turn around, which is probably his 7th big mistake during this whole ordeal, if you're keeping up at home.]

I hope to God you're not making them completely plain.

gangplankgalleon: (a crocodile is superior species!)

I HAVE A FLAVOR PALETTE, YOU LITTLE WEASEL!

[its said as he is rolling it around in a tub filled to the brim with salt and vanilla sprinkles]

in4apounding: (is they gone)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
[And as Spy is yanked away-]

That's not very good teamwork, Mr. Rool!

gangplankgalleon: (Default)
From: [personal profile] gangplankgalleon
THAT’S “MISTER” KING K. ROOL TO YOU! Besides, I have a permission slip!

[the permission slip is him sticking out his tongue at penny.]

Date: 2018-12-04 01:14 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Mister King Rool, sorry!

[Penny please.]

...Really? That doesn't sound right, may I see the slip?

[Sorry Keith, looks like you're gonna have to explain the joke.]

Date: 2018-12-03 08:09 pm (UTC)
in4apounding: (yuppers)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
[Penny gives a cheerful wave as Spy approaches, at least. She's happy to answer any questions about the challenge, which this obviously is.]

...What do you mean?

[Or not.]

Date: 2018-12-03 09:15 pm (UTC)
boxtrot: (I'd wear that mask of my own face)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
Your disappearance following the death of "Patches". Do you not remember...?

Date: 2018-12-03 11:09 pm (UTC)
boxtrot: (I would tear my face away)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
... Ah. I see.

[Spy debates to himself whether or not he should tell her. Honestly, there's a good chance that if he does, the Researcher will just wipe her mind again.]

My apologies, Miss. I'm afraid I was mistaken.

But, out of curiosity, what were you doing before coming here to propose this challenge?

Date: 2018-12-04 12:24 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (concern intensifies)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Well, immediately before this I was getting everything together, but- just doing my normal duties?

[She thinks a little bit, trying to pick out anything unusual.]

Checking over the camera feeds, making sure there weren't any- you know, hazards or anything- I met with Mer- MISS Meredith in the greenhouse, and a few other people, I- think I was talking to the Researcher about something-?

[She trails off for a second, brow slightly furled-]

...hm. Must not have been that important, I guess? But- um, nothing unusual. Why do you ask?

Date: 2018-12-04 01:00 am (UTC)
boxtrot: (I'd blame it on the person)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
I see. What sort of hazards are you looking into, if I may ask?

And were you talking to The Researcher before or after your conversation with Miss Meredith?

[He'll have to check with Meredith herself to see when she was at the greenhouse with Penny, but he gets the feeling that it happened before Patches' death.]

Date: 2018-12-04 01:12 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (um)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Afterwards? I'm not sure by how much, at least an hour or so.

[It's probably fine.]

And just- like if something electronic were to come loose somehow, or some of the kitchen equipment was left running. Or- if someone accidentally left something out where one of you might slip on it, that sort of thing. There hasn't been any in the time you've all been here, if that's what you're concerned about.

Date: 2018-12-04 01:29 am (UTC)
boxtrot: (A handsome motherfucker)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
Hm. Yes, I understand.

Are you sure there's nothing you remember about your discussion with the Researcher?

Date: 2018-12-04 01:34 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (this concerns me)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
I think-

[She looks Intense, for a second, like she's about to reset again, the way she did under Michael's questioning on day one.]

[But she just shakes her head and shrugs.]


No, sorry. It's a little odd, I'll have to ask him about it later in case it was important. Thank you for your concern, though, that's very sweet!

Date: 2018-12-04 01:48 am (UTC)
boxtrot: (I look into my eyeholes; what do I see?)
From: [personal profile] boxtrot
No, no, I'm sure you're right that it's not important. No need to bother him unnecessarily- I'm sure that if it was important, you would've remembered by now.

[The last statement gives him pause. "Sweet" is not a word usually used to describe him, after all.

Before he can respond, though, a very large crocodile shows up and drags him away to go cook some fucking Food]
