[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!))

Oh, you know. Learning the limits of our cage.

[But Michael smiles winningly, so as passive-aggressive as that was, it doesn't seem quite aimed at her.]

I'm glad you're here, actually. I had a question, about the teams?

Salutations, Mister Michael!

[What passive-aggressiveness, he's smiling, obviously it's a joke.]

Absolutely! What can I do for you?

eudaimonikos: (on the way to language)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Well, I see that Janet and I are listed as being on different teams? That's not right.

From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Ah- yes, you're friends from home, right? Unfortunately, that's not something I have any control over.

[She looks apologetic, at least.]

I can ask the Researcher about it, but the teams were chosen by very careful criteria. Your friendship might actually be why you're on opposite sides.

[Michael clasps his hands together in front of his body.]

You understand I don't care about a single one of my teammates as much as I care about her? Not super conducive to me being a team player.

in4apounding: (is they gone)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Oh no, that's so sweet-

[And maybe a little worrying, if she was taking Rule 7 seriously.]

I mean, I'll see what I can do, but that might be part of what the Researcher is trying to test. And-

[She glances around a little bit, just making sure no one's listening in.]

I'll- try to make sure you two at least don't have to. Directly compete, in anything?

eudaimonikos: (please come through)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
[He leans in a little, conspiratorial.]

I appreciate that. And I'll try not to make too much trouble for you, if that doesn't work out. I don't mind as much if it's just silly little games, you know, but if we're getting into rewards...

[Or like. Threats. But last time he brought up stuff like that, the whole conversation got wiped out, and he'd prefer to keep one.]

in4apounding: (um)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
There- might be some prizes for doing well in the challenges. They'd- they're supposed to be just for one team at a time, but I can't actually STOP you from sharing if you wanted to...


[Yeah she's obviously talking about icecream parties and the like, not motivations for murder.]

eudaimonikos: (but I'm a missile)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
[Michael nods slowly.]

Good to know. Thanks, Penny. [...] So, how's this treating you?

Date: 2018-12-05 06:18 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (i am so confused)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Well enough, I think?

[Not quite confused about the question, but at least a little pleased at the concern.]

Some people are little. More upset than I was anticipating, I guess. But most of you have been very nice!

eudaimonikos: (moral dimensions)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
[His smile's a little plastic with the effort of holding back the OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE UPSET, but he did that last time too and it didn't really get him anywhere, so. Be nice, Michael.]

I think we can all tell that you're doing your best. Not like this whole thing was your idea!

No, the Researcher had all this in place before I was even activated.

[She appreciates the effort, at least. Mostly because she's taking it as one hundred percent genuine.]

...he IS a good person, really. He just. Thinks about the really big picture.

eudaimonikos: (you're out in the world)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
I know the type.

[boy, does he]

But details are important, you know. It's too easy to gloss over important things sometimes - never really get to know people, stuff like that.

Oh, that's what I'm here for! I love getting to know people!

eudaimonikos: (and in the end if I don't)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
...how old are you, Penny?

[Well, that's a little out of nowhere. But come on, even his profile is more helpful on that front than hers.]

Date: 2018-12-06 08:03 pm (UTC)
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
How old-?

[She doesn't seem offended, at least? But she stops to think, or do some mental calculation.]

...As of today I'll have been active for approximately one-hundred and twenty hours.

eudaimonikos: (make it on the list)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
So you come with some kinda pre-installed personality? Or has meeting us really been that great?

Date: 2018-12-07 01:06 am (UTC)
in4apounding: (i am so confused)
From: [personal profile] in4apounding
Hm- both? Both, I think. Is both an option?

Date: 2018-12-07 02:53 am (UTC)
eudaimonikos: (so please come through)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
I guess it can be. Janet's evolved well beyond her initial programming, but I don't think her personality's changed all that much.
