[Entrance Exam] Week One

[lockdownmods]

It would seem that it will be... some time before you're released. Two weeks. That may sound like forever, in this situation. But you aren't left with nothing to do. The Administrator has been kind enough to update the Tasks application on your tablet. There are also now several different tasks that you can accept. Who knows... you might get something good out of it. It's worth checking out at least. There are also several other new applications you can toy with, too.

And you won't go hungry. The staff is here to prepare meals three times a day. Breakfast is served from 6AM-8AM, lunch from 11PM-1PM, and dinner from 5PM-7PM. You'd best make sure you're in the cafeteria in time for those meals, because they won't be waiting around all day for you. They have lives, too. Unfortunately, you won't really be able to ask them about any of that. The serving area is separated by a glass wall, through which they serve you. Even if you try asking-- it would seem they have been told not to answer.

The rest... well. You may just have to see for yourself. At least you're not alone.

Oh hey sweet, new roomie and I'm getting full-named, definitely makes me forget the mysterious disappearance of my last one and makes me totally wuv wu, Wiwienne.

[ bitterly homfs two slices of pizza stacked atop each other at once while looking through the questions ]

Alright, what do we got... oh holy shit, there's a hot or not question. Alright, who wants to do some god-damned mingling? Imma sniff out your deep dark secrets in this cafeteria.

[recodified]

[ This is...actually interesting? She glances to Flat, and then away, to the ground. ]

It was nothing like that, really. But we have legends like that too. Panthers are in some. But the great Clans are LionClan, TigerClan, and LeopardClan. This Black Panther sounds like them. ...Except they were actual great cats, not...humans.

[reshoot]

That's why it's a stupid question. I'm just proving a point here. No matter what, everything dies and the other person makes some smart remark to make you feel bad about it.

[SIGH.]

Look, maybe we should just move past this clearly broken, lame question and onto another one?

[robomin]

[After a long pause, considering that--]

My parents... I barely remember them. They died before my sixth birthday. The system... placed me in my uncle's home. He was... unmarried... never had children of his own. He didn't... know how to deal with that.

But... I think he tried in his own way. His robots... were the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. They became... my playmates... my friends... And all I wanted to do was learn to create like he did...

[covertizer]

[ Akira's frowning as he looks over the questions - there's a piece of pizza balanced in one hand, because he's a teenager and pizza is a universal joy, and the questions clutched in the other. ]

...

Y'know I've never really considered what my dream vacation would be. Don't people usually go somewhere tropical for those?

[ Lots of lazing on the beach and sipping cocktails? ]

[covertizer]

[ Max, you must be real fun at all the parties. ]

Alright?

[ Which one is going to involve no animals dying or feelings being smashed on either side? ]

Favourite ice cream flavour seems pretty tame. Let's go with that.

[escardos]

Well, the Black Panther was only called that because the actual Black Panther was, well, you know-- the spirit of an actual panther, but much stronger than others. And that spirit would give him the powers through these rare flowers.

[ he smiles, excited to be passing this Great and Important comic book knowledge. ]

That's so neat, though... have you ever met any cat from those clans?

[yourfuture]

[ Oh hey, it's Max! Tess approaches and waves. ]

In our time of darkness, at least there's pizza. Wanna swap some questions?

[yourfuture]

What, you not a beach fan?

[reshoot]

[Max smirks, just a tiny bit. Thinking about all the fun she could have with this loser if she had access to her powers...]

I've seen the impossible. Try me sometime, Akira. [She proudly shows off the rather dopey looking picture of Akira she just took.]

You can take one of me, too. Fair is fair. [She hands him her device!]

[recodified]

Vegetables? [ Another sniff. ] Plants. ...Herbs. Why...mix herbs with... This is bird, but it doesn't look like bird.

[ It still smells like bird. She takes a step closer, but--

She doesn't try it. ]

[covertizer]

I've been to them before? It's fun going with friends, but I can do that in my free time without leaving my home country.

[reshoot]

[MAX ISN'T COOL FOR A GOOD REASON.]

Mint-chip! Easy.

[Not wanting to be totally boring and parrot the same question, Max addresses the list...]

Worst gift you've ever received?

[yourfuture]

Makes sense. Any places you actually do wanna go?

[covertizer]

Because it tastes fancier, I guess. The world of food is... complicated and weird. They love messing with herbs and spices.

[ Hmm. ]

It is? But it's cooked. We can't eat it raw. Not without getting sick, at least.

[covertizer]

[ What shenanigans there would be. Akira tilts his head back, and then shrugs. It's not like he can actually summon any of his Personas here, so in a way, what's the harm in talking about them? ]

I can summon physical manifestations of the facets of my personality to fight for me.

[ He's not even joking. Instead, he just takes the offered camera, and snaps a picture of whatever reaction Max is making. ]

Usually. I can't sense them there, so I guess they've done something to block me from them.

[covertizer]

That is a pretty nice one.

[ Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. ]

The worst gift is probably no gift. I wasn't expecting one anyway, but it wasn't great. [ Hahah. Hahahaha... ha. ]

If you can eliminate a fashion trend, which one would you pick?

[covertizer]

... Mm. Europe would be nice to go to? It seems pretty varied, and a lot of the photos you see from there look really historical and classy.

[recodified]

[ Her whiskers twitch. ]

Of course not, they're the Clans of legends. Maybe in StarClan, but...that's not for living cats to know. [ She hesitates. ] For a human to draw the attention of an ancient great cat... That sounds like a big accomplishment.

[supportrole]

It's so annoying! You can totally tell when someone is in it for the glory rather than for the actual game.

[ He gets through one more spoonful of soup before he starts again. ]

And it's like they don't even realize that the only reason they get that far is because their support is setting up all these prime opportunities for them and saving their butts from the dangerous situations they keep throwing themselves into.

[ dramatic re-enactment ]

[reshoot]

[Her reaction is something like this icon]

Holy shit, you're a freaking superhero!

That's incredible...Are they like...distinct personalities that you can communicate with?

[niugen]

[ Nine is passing through on the way to his room (if only he was inside, then he wouldn't have heard the shouting!), when sensei starts yelling. After several seconds of unabashed glaring, he approaches against his better judgment. ]

If you want him to come out, why are you trying to barricade the door in the least effective way possible?

[recodified]

...That's strange. Twolegs- humans must have poorer constitution.

[ Another twitch of her whiskers. ]

I can't believe you would use herbs so frivolously. What would you do if someone gets sick?

[reshoot]

[...Ouch. Poor guy. Maybe she should have picked a more innocuous question...]

I'm sorry, Akira...

Um...

I think I'd get rid of women's jeans not having any pockets. It's very real cruelty. I have stuff I need to put away too.

[A long, somewhat awkward pause and...]

You know, Akira, I think you have a lot of good inside you.

[reshoot]

Fans? Are you a celebrity, Kaoru?
