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!]]

Looks like one already has. She just hasn't found a way to make it stick yet.
ossifragant: (Ò then the rabbits couldn't just come in)

I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

We just have to know the rules about who can kill whom apparently.

[It's not like he's going to care when one of these people bite it, the only thing he cares about is it not being him.]
alchemicals: (010.)

I'd prefer that we not all get wiped out before the murdering is supposed to start. That's why I'm telling everyone to knock it the hell off - we screw it up now and the guy might just decide to start over with a fresh batch.
ossifragant: (Ô it's just i'm scared)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-02 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I hadn't thought of that before.

[But that... might be because Greed has never particularly feared death.

There's that underlying problem that Kimbley is the one trying to manage this. Greed isn't exactly equipped to deal with this sort of thing. He doesn't know what the hell they're supposed to, really.

So long as it doesn't end with all of them dying before the killing game has even begun, he doesn't really care what happens.]


We didn't even make it half a day before someone decided to jump the gun. We're in for an interesting time from here on out.

[He has no desire to brutally attack Kimbley so at least there's something of a truce going on at the moment.]

[...buddy, if you think Kimbley is going to try to manage anything other than screaming at everyone to sit down and shut up because they're giving him a fucking headache...]

"Interesting" is one way of putting it; I just don't want to be cut off before the fun starts.
ossifragant: (⊗ my bet i'll sleep well tonight)

[That's still way more effort that Greed would expend. His idea would be to go off in a corner and let them slaughter each other.]

Try not to get caught if you decide to participate, won't you?

I'd hate to see what "elimination" looks like.
alchemicals: ...periodically (006.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-02 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He just shrugs at that.]

I'm going to do whatever I decide I feel like doing. If I get killed for my effort, who cares? It's better than sitting around doing nothing.
ossifragant: (Φ there's a smell of stale fear)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-02 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
At the very least I hope you'll make it interesting.

Dying stupidly shouldn't be in your playbook.
alchemicals: (007.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-02 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
It never has been, and I don't feel like adding it now.
ossifragant: (⊗ fore your eyes what a curious sight)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-02 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I wouldn't have it any other way.
