[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.

So what should we do? Press the button again?

[covertizer]

We pressed the button, and now we can't hear them. It seems likely.

[ His finger hovers over the blue button again... should he try pressing it again...? Hm. ]

[buriedearth]

It's worth a try at least.

[buriedearth]

...Maybe we should try seeing what happens when it's pressed again.

[ Per Flat's suggestion. ]

[covertizer]

I agree.

[ HE TAP THE BLUE BUTTON. ]

[coagmentatio]

[ RELEASING A GRUMBLE... ]

I'm pretty sure I look the same as I always do.

[ Which is! Not uncomfortable at all!!!! ]

[itwasfeyt]

Sounds good enough to me. Because now we have to meet up when we get out of here.

[It's a promise.]

[coagmentatio]

[ s q u i n t ]

That somehow feels significantly specific.

[coagmentatio]

It had a lot of episodes meant to mess with people's heads, or to just make them think outside the box.

[ AKA he loved the show a lot. ]

My point was that I'm half-expecting there to be a case of multiple layers of reality intertwining, with us talking to two people from a different timeline.

[ . . . ]

... or something to that effect.

[covertizer]

[ Who can say? ]

Don't people tend to find mice hiding in sheds?

[ Hahahahah ha. ]

[coagmentatio]

[ For just a split second, there's something cold and bitter in his eyes. Maybe Akira has some experience with seeing the hint that someone's very clearly screaming on the inside. ]

Essentially.

[covertizer]

If you say so.

[ By the way, he's flicking through the profiles now.

owo

what's this? ]

[enjoymyatelier]

Look, I would give you something like, say, Night of the Living Dead, because that has an actual central idea and theme to it that isn't just an excuse to have rural Americans get ripped apart by mutant crocodiles or something. That's about as far as I'm willing to go, though.

And oh, video games? So is that plumber that I keep hearing about an allegory for Marxism, then?

[coagmentatio]

[ Thousand.

Yard.

Stare. ]

[coagmentatio]

As far as I know, they're not typically of the Once-People variety.

[escardos]

Plumber? Marxism?

[ he's tilting his head to think about it and...oooohh. ]

You mean Mario Bros? [ a...pause? ] I...I don't think it's that deep, Professor. You save a princess from an evil turtle.

[recodified]

[ Hollyleaf certainly is fast. This is her in battle mode, and she has... Well, she's done some violent things in the heat of the moment before, hasn't she?

So yes, she's being incredibly quick, as everything kind of fades away and she leaps from the table with Nyanko-sensei as her target. ]

[recodified]

I can't be a warrior if I don't follow the Warrior Code!

[ But her protestation hitches and she digs her claws into the dirt. ]

...I- I can't... I can't make a habit of this, do you understand? It can't be...every day.

[recodified]

...Yes. My father in particular.

[ It's a soft statement, but a nice one. ]

How about you? The same question.

[recodified]

I... [ Hollyleaf starts to shake her head but frowns. ] Former ones. One became a ThunderClan elder, eventually, but when I'd just met him his Twoleg had just died, so I'm...not sure if he counts.

[recodified]

You're a dog! I'm a cat! Have you got bees in your brain?!

[recodified]

[ She'd been more referring to the implication that she'd be "taken care of" in one of their rooms, which she highly disapproves of, but. Hollyleaf rolls her eyes. ]

You say that, but consider who you're talking to. Dogs aren't exactly a cat's best friend.

[enjoymyatelier]

I mean, you could do worse. Far worse, even.

[recodified]

No... But so many of you so far have made such wild and untrue assumptions based on what you know of kittypets. There's no way to connect.

[recodified]

It's showing they honor you, offering you their hard-earned...

[ She peers inside. ]

What is all of this?
