Peace Week

[mockmods]

[So, with introductions made, you're all left to your own devices for the time being. Explore, make friends, try not to go insane in your new surroundings. Maybe organize a game of that Trailseeker thing? Your time is your own.]

[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]

[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((Please tag any investigation toplevels as such, and ping the mods on Plurk or discord if possible!))

[NOT GREAT, ACTUALLY. Sonia has taken to staring at the shrubbery despondently because what else do you do when you're hungry and bored?

She answers Penny with a deep frown because a punch to the face would do no good.]

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

[in4apounding]

[Well, only if hurting your hand were to somehow be good. Sonia should know better than anyone else here, their Assistant is built like a perky ginger mack truck.]

I'm- trying to? I try to enjoy everything as much as possible. What would be the use in being miserable?

...Or- did you mean you all being angry, specifically. Because no, I- I don't think I could ever enjoy that, no.

[aragona]

Obviously.

[No one likes people being mad at them.]

Great knowing you love watching us try to escape and fail.

[in4apounding]

...I'm sorry. I know- I know this is rough on you. More than I was expecting.

[Apparently kidnapping is kind of a button for a lot of people, who knew.]

Is there anything I can help you with? ...Anything non-escape related.

[aragona]

Then why aren't you letting us leave? You know I won't be able to live for long with few to feed from no matter how much you stock the kitchen.

[in4apounding]

Wait, what? You haven't been eating?!

[GENUINE DISTRESS, THIS IS NOT GOOD]

[aragona]

[What's this? Penny cares?]

So you will defend me if the others go after me for feeding?

[in4apounding]

...Why would they attack you for something like eating?

[There is a serious miscommunication happening here somewhere, she's beginning to suspect.]

[aragona]

[Sonia can clarify how she eats...or she can go ahead and take this as permission. It's better than waiting for an answer of "no".]

It can happen where I'm from.

[Glancing around for any potential victim in the greenhouse.]

[in4apounding]

Well, yes, if you were- vampires do drink from people, right? That was in the information I was given, that's correct about your world, isn't it?

[aragona]

Given by the researcher, I presume.

[...]

So I need a living person. Human, preferably.

[in4apounding]

Yes.

[She looks to be clicking through the profiles on her own smartphone, checking things.]

....So you can't use the bloodbags from the vending machines?

[aragona]

…

What bloodbags?

[She hasn't gotten many coins because she's an anti-social jerk and her prizes are useless knickknacks.]

[in4apounding]

The bags in the snack machines in the dining hall? They should be kept very fresh, magically.

[Nah, no regain coins here, just use your ID! Which she also wouldn't be likely to know, because why would a vampire bother checking to see if she could get off-brand Cheetos and Pepsi?]

[aragona]

[ARE THEY BLOOD CHEETOS THOUGH.]

…You keep blood in a vending machine?

[in4apounding]

Yes? Mixing it with the food served at the regular mealtimes might be a little dangerous for everyone else, you're the only vampire here.

[aragona]

How was I supposed to know?!

[in4apounding]

You didn't ask!

[aragona]

All of the information was given to us when we woke up!

[in4apounding]

I'm sorry, I thought you would've checked in the dining area!

[Like, seems logical to her, anyway.]

[Also you tried attacking her, it made things kind of awkward.]

[aragona]

[You should give Sonia things because she threatened you!!

But blood sounds good, she's off to the vending machine.]

[in4apounding]

....Be sure to let me know if there's anything else like this you need, thank you!

[Yeah, just. Waiting until Sonia's a good distance away before calling that after her retreating back.]
