DAY 00

[Good afternoon, Citizens!

Your consciousness blurrily returns as the transport tube your comatose body was stored in opens up, admitting you access to an unfamiliar room. One wall is covered by vertical tubes, one occasionally sliding open to admit another confused person. The wall across from you has a sign saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB", with an arrow pointing at a red doorway in the corner. The wall to your right contains an unlabeled, dusty, and poorly-lit hallway with blue walls, floor, and ceiling. You can't see the end from here.

Somewhere on your person, you will find a thin, smartphone-sized object that wasn't there before. One side of it is lit up with a red background and a number of disabled menu items. Most of the screen is taken up by another message saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB".

What is this place, anyway? And who are these people stumbling in through the transport tube array?]

[[Beyond the three prompts below, anyone may start their own prompts to mingle or go off and do their own thing or whatever else they want!]]

Holy shit -

[Because sometimes there just are no words.]

Should we kill it again?!
standbyrival: (something stupid just happened)

[personal profile] standbyrival 2014-11-02 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[well there's an idea]

It's just going to come back.
alchemicals: (002.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-02 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
So...what, you think this is just a blank check to do whatever we want? We die, we just "come back"?
standbyrival: (jerk patrol)

Don't be stupid, aren't you an adult?

[he points at the computer screen]

Check the rules again. Everyone has six back up clones, it looks like. After six you're done. But if that person gets fed up with someone trying to off them six times, it's not going to go well. What kind of idiot lets themselves be killed so easily?
alchemicals: (010.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-02 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
The same sort of idiot that doesn't back off of a gun and a countdown, maybe? You'd be surprised at the number of people who don't give a damn in this world.
standbyrival: (my liiiife)

[personal profile] standbyrival 2014-11-02 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. Then let them be their own downfall, they're dead weight already.

[a beat]

. . .but if it they are stupid enough to get shot again, maybe it would make sense to put them out of their misery.

My point exactly.

[Kimbley, no.]
standbyrival: (judge)

[personal profile] standbyrival 2014-11-02 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL. a 12-yo certainly isn't going to stop him. Shrugs!]

Whatever. If you can kill them five more times, I'll be impressed.
ossifragant: (⊕ out of three you've chosen misery)

You might have the right idea.

[He sounds calm, but only because he's entirely used to being around people who don't stay dead when you kill them.]
alchemicals: (004.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-02 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[some people die when they're killed and then some people are apparently this]

I know I have the right idea.
ossifragant: (⊕ don't let her in)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-02 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[It probably says something that despite Greed being what he is, he's in complete agreement.]

If it comes near me, I'm killing it.

[...oh yeah

no offense meant by any of this, dude, we know this right]


Not if I get to it first.
ossifragant: (Ô i can't make myself heard)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-02 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank you for not blowing him up repeatedly upon realizing he's hard to kill initially.

...did he ever say that before]


We have a few shots at it, why don't we take turns?
