WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL (OVERFLOW)


WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL
(43 remain)


Whatever each character was doing—chatting with friends, going to bed, saving the world—ceases. In fact, it's likely nothing more than a groggy memory now, as they open their eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently, they took a nap right in the middle of a small town, plopped outside on the paved road. Ow?

Oh, but it looks like they've been given a goodie bag. Everyone likes gifts, right? Inside, it contains:

Should they boot up the device, the screen helpfully informs them that it's a Participant Help System (PHS). Not much on it, but it does have a few apps, including a memo one for taking notes. There's also a messaging system, though it's only capable of receiving messages, not sending any. As a matter of fact, there's an alert for a new message already. Maybe it'll explain what's going on.
Good evening, everyone. Uh, how are we sure they’re arriving in the evening? Just say ā€œhelloā€! Or ā€œgreetingsā€! Greetings is fancy, right? Oh that’s true. Greetings, everyone. That’s better? Yes! Except maybe we take out the that’s better part in the final version. Will do!

We’re sorry that we’re not here jklk oh no how do i erase what i wrote. Where is the question mark. Help press backspace. What is a backspace it’s written on the keyboard. Do you even know how to read? right now. There are a lot of things happening that’s so vague? Could we maybe TRY to not be ominous, guys??, It’s going to be ominous no matter what we say, so who cares so we need time to best prepare for you all. We will greet you properly soon, so please make yourselves at home! There are a lot of places to explore, and the kitchen has a lot of delicious food. Please don’t be shy, but also, don’t damage anything. It’s a little inconvenient. They’re going to do it just because you sound so fucking whiny. I’m sorry oh this is how you write somewhere else. Please do not fight or do. We don’t control your life choices. No please do not fight how do i make an exclamation mark maybe we should’ve gotten someone else to write the draft of the message? No offense. I’m sorry Sorry stop apologizing. No one else volunteered. Maybe we’ll luck out and none of them know how to read

Thank you for your time! We’ll see you soon. Also, we promise you haven’t been kidnapped or anything!

Oh dear. I don’t know if this is going to be edited, so if it isn’t, then I do apologize to the participants for our lack of organization. We’re doing our best! Probably.

Er, what? Unfortunately, it seems as though that's the only info they're given for now. In the meantime, why not explore the surrounding area? A number of buildings are locked, and the Planetarium appears to be closed, but there's enough to keep the characters occupied for a day or two. They might even want to get to know their fellow "participants" better, while they're at it.

[ hydrate yoself lil’ robogirl ]

I’m Alex.

Do you want me to get you a glass? I’ve had a look through the cupboards, so I think I know where things are being stored.
bisouled: (one look at you)

I've got it!

[ she does, apparently, because she's waving a glass over her head. Fiora knows her way around a kitchen. ]

The coffee does smell good.

Did you want some?

[ she. i mean. she could comment on the [robot voice] roboparts but... she's run into so many weird things at this point it might just be better to act normal.

can robot girls drink coffee?

hello? ]

[ a shake of her head; she looks slightly awkward. ]

I don't think I should. It might mess something up.

Oh, the ... uh...

[ she makes a. motion. generally around her own head.

robot parts ]


Those are real?
bisouled: (adrenaline to rewire my mind)

[ a nod. Fiora puts on a smile. ]

Yeah. It's a long story, but I'm mostly Mechon now. It has its quirks.

Like not drinking coffee? Or is it just hot drinks in general you're avoiding?
bisouled: (i never promised you an open heart)

[personal profile] bisouled 2020-10-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Anything other than water, really... I don't know if it would, er... work?

[ she has no idea how her body would process coffee ]

Probably not worth the risk to find out, huh?
