[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.

It tastes pretty good cooked though.

...

How do those two things correlate? If we get sick, we see a doctor.

[recodified]

If you get sick, a medicine cat attends to you, with medicine herbs. [ She nods to the vegetables. ] I can't tell what these are since they've been burned so much. The smell's...indistinguishable. But a good cat could probably put them to use, should someone catches greencough or has an infected wound.

[covertizer]

[ Oh. ]

We use medicines. Antibiotics, creams, and operations if we have to. Herbs are for cooking, unless you're into alternative medicine.

[recodified]

Your world is so strange. Why not use something that grows from the land?

[covertizer]

[ He shrugs. ]

Because it didn't always work for us, so we found other ways to cure things that herbs just can't fix. Although we still use some herbal remedies for things - like natural relaxants.

[recodified]

...I can't imagine doing things differently. The teachings of the medicine cats... They've been passed down since the ancient times.

[ But she wonders, if Jayfeather had other resources, the things he could do. If they had the means to get other resources. Stronger herbs. ]

[covertizer]

People used to the same thing. Like I said, there are still people who specialise in herbal medicines but... they just didn't do the job as well, so people started evolving medicine to fit our needs.

[ There are a lot of illnesses out there, and if they can be healed, then humanity wants to do their best to heal them. ]

[recodified]

...We couldn't accept that. Just like-- [ She gulps and turns her head from the chicken. ] Just like I can't accept food your kind. It's against the Warrior Code to do so.

[covertizer]

What are you going to eat otherwise?

[recodified]

...I...

[ She falters. ]

There are frogs. In that garden. I- I could learn...how to eat those.

[covertizer]

[ Just. This look. ]

And if you can't? Or if you can't digest them, or if they make you ill...?

[recodified]

ShadowClan cats eat them. I'm sure I'll be able to.

[ That's not an answer. ]

[covertizer]

[ Yeah. That doesn't pass. ]

And if you're not able to? You didn't answer that one.

[recodified]

[ She looks away. ]

I... It's against the Warrior Code...

[ Seems she's thinking "starve." ]

[covertizer]

[ NOT AN OPTION, KIT KAT. ]

... you can't be a warrior if you don't have the energy to protect people or fight anything.

[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.

[covertizer]

Can’t follow the Warrior Code if you’re starving and have no strength either.

[ Hm. ]

What about this then - I’m can take your share of food from the cafeteria each day. If you can take it back from me, then would if feel like you’ve earned it?

[ Food, but the chance to earn it through skill. It wouldn’t be stealing, because it’s hers in the first place. ]

[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?

[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]

[ Her tail whips about and she takes on an almost defiant tone. ]

Then go on. Make it not easy right now. I've enough energy for a hunt.

[covertizer]

[ Hmm. How best to go about this one then... ]

Alright. [ He picks up the plate and with a quick flip of his hand, the chicken is flying into the air and--

he snatches it and falls backwards into a pretty speedy run. ]

Catch me if you can~

[recodified]

Oh, I can.

[ And off she goes, long legs carrying her a great ways. ]
