[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.

I think it depends on what you're really looking for. I'd probably prefer to go somewhere with a lot of art museums if we're talking my dream vacation, but if you're talking something that's just meant to be relaxing... the tropics are fine, I suppose.

[recodified]

No way! Wings, made of that shiny pelt stuff? None of this can be real. Those...pictures the tables [ tablets ] can take are one thing, but this?! I refuse.

[lifandi]

[He noticed that Natsume, but he won't call it out. It had partially been on design--an unsettled person often speaks truer than a comfortable one.

For the question....Twelve thinks of wisdom, and sees Athena. And maybe that would work for Natsume, but he would rather due without. That leaves power or courage...]

I think I would pick courage. Some days I feel like I need a bit more of that.

[Twelve looks almost wistful as he says it, before visibly refocusing]

You're turn to pick the question!

[escardos]

Totally real! In fact, when we get out I am so going to show you what an airplane looks like!

[recodified]

Natsume, was it?! Running away, after all the fox-hearted nonsense you spouted yesterday?! Wouldn't that make you weak, you coward?!

[ She raises her claws, threateningly. ]

Think you can go acting kind, then cruel, then this?!

[niugen]

That's not a question on the sheet. [ But it's been asked, and Nine feels involved enough not to disengage. Is this how Twelve feels with Lisa? ]

Not exactly. I'm interested in how they think.

[recodified]

[ The almost casual atmosphere evaporates immediately, as Hollyleaf looks away, beginning to...run her paw down her face, self-consciously. ]

When we get out of here, I've got to go back where I'm supposed to be, as soon as possible. They'll be missing me.

[notsumereiko]

[Courage... he could relate on that, even if things have changed bit by bit for him. But maybe it's best not to get drawn too far down those topics when they still barely know each other.

Skimming the list again, his eyes land on #15. It seems innocuous enough...]

Then, if you could turn the ocean into a liquid other than water, what would you choose?

[notsumereiko]

[why is she shouting at him aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So he puts a hand in front in a stop sign.]

Wait! I don't know what you're talking about!

[Last night was already tiring enough with Sensei making a fuss, so he'd come back to the room to take a nap between meals. With the soundproofing, Natsume remained blissfully unaware of the growing crisis right outside the room, but as with all good things, they come to an end.

Like when he opens the door to find a bunch of backpacks spilling onto the floor and Sensei screaming at him.]

Sensei... what are you doing?

[he is not nearly awake enough to deal with this shit??]

[recodified]

Playing dumb, huh? Should've thought of that before you insulted my kin!

[ She slash! ]

[coagmentatio]

[ He blinks softly. ]

That's a good choice. [ AKA the one he'd go for - and... technically is, actually. ] All I've ever known is working with a team, myself.

[ A resigned shrug is given. His idea of "teamwork" might be a little different from most people's. ]

Fair enough. Who would you say, then?

[coagmentatio]

[ Then he'd say that's great for him just before asking who's Natsume.

How does this guy's logic work, even. ]

I'm asking questions that were given to me by someone else. [ he wants... to punch him? he wants to punch him ] And there are plenty of people technically in this circle, last I checked. You know... as in everyone, including you?

[ random deities plz give him patience... because if you give him strength, he might hurt someone, right now. :/!!! ]

[robomin]

I had... planned to rearrange them... and take out the other hooks...

[But she's been busy since the program started okay?]

[robomin]

[Yes! There are a number of familiar ones. But if you continue... there are also a lot of unfamiliar ones as well. Things from completely different worlds unlike his own.]

[robomin]

[There are a lot of different things mixed together here. Mostly blank forms. Assessments, lost and found slips, parental permission forms, detention slips...]

[yourfuture]

Oh shit look at you, ya perky goth bastard.

[ said in an incredibly endeared tone of voice, she likes this one ]

I think mine's probably like... carnivorous clown hamsters or some shit like that. I could live with dying boring, but embarrassing? Fuck that noise.

[notsumereiko]

[Oops. Reflexively, Natsume opens his mouth to laugh it off and apologize, but he closes it when Nine continues. And for a minute there, he's reminded of all the small moments he's seen into youkai lives and how those memories helped him understand their actions, their burdens. But with people...]

Then that kind of sounds like what we're doing now, although I think it's a little more fun than reading people's minds.

[notsumereiko]

[This isn't his first rodeo when it comes to being attacked by small, furry creatures, but that doesn't mean he's prepared either?! With that said, Natsume steps back enough to avoid getting cut, although the same couldn't be said about the sleeve of his uniform. RIP, he had a good run of not being being chased for a day.]

I'm not playing dumb! Look, if I said anything to offend you I'll apologize, but I can't do that if you don't tell me what you're talking about!

[starswink]

I could be a wolf! A guild is sort of like a pack, I think.

[He's pleased he liked the answer... Maybe even a little excited, even, they can have a normal conversation this time.]

But yeah, the possibilities are endless with dogs. Depending on the type, you could curl up in someone's lap or you could protect them... They're man's best friend for a reason.

[recodified]

[ There's a bit of satisfaction in tearing his removable pelt, and she revels in it. Why they have these things she'll never understand. Maybe they wish they had fur?

Anyway, she keeps her paw up, hoping he moves closer again so she can get another shot at a scratch. ]

Yesterday! Where that...stupid firm ground is outside, when you threw that hard ball at me and mocked Twolegs invading cat territory!

[supportrole]

[ Huh. All right.

Anything interesting if glances in the closet before heading back into the eye of the paper storm? ]

[supportrole]

[ Not exactly reassuring... ]

Who are "they" anyway? Who's making the decisions on stuff like that?

[supportrole]

O-oh, um. Well, I...

[ Looks around to make sure no one else is listening before leaning in and lowering his voice. ]

Kind of like Kunikida?

[robomin]

[Actually-- going in there's immediately something worth checking out. On the inside of the closet, hangs a jacket. It would seem as though it's Vivienne's.

The pocket closest to Mishima seems to have something in it.]
