locked_down | [Entrance Exam] Week One

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.

[ Static. ]

[ yikes!

he turns to the others in the shed. ]

So...what do you guys think we should do? Press a button at random?

... Maybe press them all in order?

[ ... Because why not. ]

[ ok but ]

There is no order... at least not an obvious one?

Yellow, blue, green, and red. So, we start with yellow first, and then keep on pressing the ones after. So, blue and so on.

[ Terra...pls. ]

[ with a lighthearted shrug, flat's going to do just that and... press the yellow button!

good lord don't let it explode. ]

[ Everything blows up and you've successfully bad-ended the game like you've always wanted.

...Nah, just kidding. Upon pressing the yellow button, the screen displays the central AC temperature! Or...at least, what it was before the power went out. There's two arrow keys that show up on the screen that allows you to adjust it. Boring, huh? ]

[ thank fucking god

anyways, flat laughs when he sees such a mundane thing happened. with all this talk of ghosts and missing things, this is definitely a welcome surprise! ]

Haha, to think that they would have this so far away~. Should we try the blue button now?

[ Well, Terra can't say he knew what he was going to expect. ]

Might as well, right?

[ Here he goes, time to press the blue button! ]

[ Congratulations, everyone! The blue button turns the generator on, which means you have power again!

The light in the storage shed flickers on, and you can hear the sound of things starting to run again. Hopefully Vivienne can get the main line fixed, but for now, this is good!

...Right? ]

[ x doubt. ]

Nice, you did it!

[ he looks around them, to see if maybe the shed people were hidden somewhere. ]

Hey ghosts, are you still here with us?

[ Silence. ]

... Hello? Number One, Number Two?

[ Nobody answers. ]

I think messing with those buttons might've been a bit of a double edged sword.

You mean they can no longer contact us because of it?

So what should we do? Press the button again?

It's worth a try at least.

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. ]

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

[ Per Flat's suggestion. ]

I agree.

[ HE TAP THE BLUE BUTTON. ]

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

THE GENERATOR IS STILL POWERING ON.

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

Maybe...the green one?

[ Well, if he presses the green button, does anything different happen? ]
