[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.

[ He's the best at being a really crappy ghost. ]

I figured that growing an extra head and having glowing eyes would be a little too cliched. I'm keeping it tame.

[curseoclock]

Oh nah, not at all. There's the Taguel too. They can change into these big rabbits! It's pretty cool. And they're real nice and soft, too. Or, well, the one I know is, anyway. There aren't really a lot of them left. And I swear one time I saw a guy change into a raven, but I never saw that happen again.

[curseoclock]

That's kinda tough. I know I had a lot of good times in school as a kid, but I dunno if I'd rate them as my favorite.

[They also weren't actually that fun at the time, but who cares about dumb details like that?]

...So I'd have to go with before all that. Oh, maybe the first time I met my best friend! Well, actually, I guess she was almost more like my mom? She was the first friend I ever made, anyhow.

It was a little scary for a little bit, but she was real nice and taught me all sortsa stuff. And she just had the softest fur!

[recodified]

...It's still something prepared by Twolegs, so it's not...quite the same, but... It's a better compromise. It's not like taking those...strange pebbles like a kittypet.

[ She's trying to talk herself into it, so it seems. ]

You wouldn't just pretend to keep it from me? I would actually have to work for it?

[curseoclock]

[Henry doesn't even blink at that reaction... although... would you really be able to tell, since his eyes are always closed? In any case, he just sorta looks back at Natsume as he wakes up.] Oh, hey! Not dead yet, huh? Look at you go! You feeling okay there?

[recodified]

Mm... He's a wise, old cat. Never met one older, actually. It felt good to honor him.

[covertizer]

They never looked tasty anyway. If I'd tried feeding those to Morgana, he would've kicked the bowl at me.

[ He is more than happy to enable. ]

I'd be insulted if you felt you didn't have to work from them. I wouldn't make it easy.

[recodified]

...There's no actual prey in here, is there? Just...a lot of Twoleg food.

[ She's coming to understand this is a dead-end. ]

[curseoclock]

[Heck yeah, heck yeah, this is the best day. Henry follows and runs over to Flat.] I bet our buddy must be an expert fetcher, huh? C'mon, throw it!

[recodified]

A... A what? What in... What is a robot?

[curseoclock]

Yeah, pretty much! It's why you see a lot more mages on the battlefield in Plegia, 'cause there's all the desert, and in other places you'll see more buff armored guys and cavalry. And I bet sand just gets everywhere when you're all armored up, too, ha ha!

[mechanimals]

[ The Good Dog is not far behind! He's practically bouncing with excitement. ]

PLEASE THROW AS HARD AS YOU CAN.

[recodified]

[ Her ear flicks and she tilts her head. ]

Like your mom...with fur? Were you raised by an animal?

[curseoclock]

Yeah, pretty much! She was a wolf, see. And she looked after me way more than my own parents ever did, so I kinda see her as my family more than them.

[notsumereiko]

[Oh... oops. Urgh, how does he explain this...]

Um, sorry, but I think someone was playing a trick on us. [Well actually, mostly him but Terra was dragged into this too, so.]

The person you talked with was probably Nyanko-sensei.

[notsumereiko]

Sort of, but... they aren't necessarily dead. Like tree spirits or mountain spirits. Most people don't believe in them anymore, so I don't think they're really like Pokemon.

[Although he's pretty sure his friends would look at him like he's crazy if he described seeing a Pokemon to them.]

[coagmentatio]

[ His jawline tightens, teeth just slightly grinding together. He has to put considerably effort into not letting his expression shift. What he doesn't bother stopping is a distinct shift in his tone. There's more distance to it. ]

That's one hell of a question to be asking while missing considerable amounts of relevant info.

[itwasfeyt]

Just like a medium! Because I am one!

[Strikes a pose!!]

Maya Fey, spirit channeling extraordinaire!

[She's channeled like two people so far.]

[lockdownmods]

[ Akira taps the blue button, and the screen says: ]

THE GENERATOR IS STILL POWERING ON.

[notsumereiko]

I think those are okay as long as you don't try to possess or eat someone...

[Because nothing says a bad time like settling down for a break and having some asshole pop out of nowhere to say they're going to eat you.]

[escardos]

[ well that's weird. flat's pretty sure that buttons should turn things on and off. ]

Maybe...the green one?

[coagmentatio]

[ whispers don't ]

[coagmentatio]

[ Just the most blatant "whatever you say, man" look.




but he'll make like Elsa here it's fine ]

[notsumereiko]

[Not dead 'yet'? What's with that wording... although it doesn't take much to shift his thoughts away from that when Henry asks him a question.]

Yeah... I'm fine. Sorry, it just surprised me to see you there. [He smiles back easily enough, but there's a superficial quality to it.]

[coagmentatio]

[ He releases a soft and amused snort. ]

You're welcome to take that cockiness down a level anytime.
