WEEK 1 - Investigation

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

friday (?) survivors Friday careens around the corner soon enough, much like every day preceding it does. This morning, however, is greeted with a surprise — your datapad is making a strange noise. Perhaps it's buried under the duvet you're sleeping under, or at the far corner of the room, maybe you're the forgetful type and left it in the bathroom, or maybe, just maybe, you have it right next to your ear when a song blasts at full volume. Upon inspection, you'll find the accompanying video is playing as well. The song seems to loop, this time being overlain with a voice recanting the history of the band in a steady, robotic tone. Was it the AI? You probably didn't care, and, instead, decided to leave your room. Once you do, the song finally ends. You are free. You may feel rather manipulated right now, or you are just satiated to be away from the music. Either way, it's clear your day has only just begun. ENTER COMMAND_

9:00 AM - daycare

[al2955]

[As you're walking past the daycare this morning, you may notice that one of the balls has rolled out the door....]

[breakshot]

[ Guess who’s up and at ‘em first thing in the morning? If nothing’s immediately wrong upon leaving his unit, Machias is going to make some rounds before breakfast.

… That certainly is a ball out of place. Let’s look inside the daycare real quick? Is someone messing around in the ball pit again? ]

[toprotecttheworld]

[That's exactly what Jessie is doing, she wants to see if she can let a certain something loose while everyone is still eating breakfast. Fuck that stray ball, she's going in.]

[brooches]

[ Elizabeth's immediately clued in on the ball. Picking it up into her hand, she's pushing the door open. She's inside and looking, primarily towards the ball pit - looking for anyone who may have been tossing them, as she had been earlier the week...

She moves closer, closer to see the shadows cast between the piles of balls. ]

[breakshot]

[ Machias will be tagging along. Best not to investigate this alone! What's in the ball pit, spacebar. What's in there. ]

... You don't think someone's dropped it on the way out? [ One can hope it's just that. ]

cafeteria

[socloverit]

[Clover's one of those people who isn't actually a person until she's had her coffee and she is especially unhappy about being woken up by datapad bullshit so she hasn't even changed out of her pajamas. Whatever who cares we're all gonna die anyway. Anything of note on the way to the process of caffeine cube preparation?]

chapel

[thanatosincarnate]

{ Anything off in here...? It's always the places you least expect ( not really )-- it has certainly been TOO quiet to not take a walk around. }

medical bay

[parodeity]

[ dave and roxy will be searching here. someone else can come with if they want? but ok dave's just glancing around he guesses. the strilondes collectively decided that the song meant "well shit something bad happened" and are trying to determine...what. ]

I hate this place's soundtrack.

[toprotecttheworld]

[Jessie is ignoring Elizabeth for a second and strolling further into the room, looking for a place to sit down. Maybe they'll leave. Who. Knows. She came in here to do something, and unless there are signs something went wrong other than that ball, she's just going to keep her distance from The Nerd.

She'll give Elizabeth a friendly wave, though.]

viewport

[antietam]

[ Are they still in space? Apparently. Is there anything noticeable in the room? ]

[al2955]

[Doesn't look like there's anything on the way in to the cafeteria.]

[al2955]

[Nothing stands out in the chapel.]

[al2955]

[Doesn't look like there's anything noticeable here.]

[muties]

[ THE CATS IN THE CRADLE WITH THE ok sure but from then on it's gone downhill. and why does it have to wake them up. she was busy?? sleeping??? ]

At first it was ok, but the whole folk rock thing is gettin' old and givin' me bad vibes now. There's like. So many other genres? Pop? Hip-hop? Jazz, idk?

parlor

[bloodbiter]

[taking a look in this area as she wanders around, curious about the reason for the music]

offices

[chiseler]

[He's spent a lot of time roaming the ship and checking out anything he can get his hands on, but he's pretty much avoided the offices. His focus has always been the elevator. This morning he's decided to change that and he steps in. Anything unusual?]

[parodeity]

[ so was dave???? fuck alarm clocks he didn't even set???? ]

Also, the creepy ominous "we've only just begun", like. Ok. Did someone snap. Who snapped. Should we be takin' bets here?

[al2955]

[ Notably, the Daycare is in disarray. Elizabeth will notice that the ballpit is out of air, lying half of it flattened and rather sad looking. Looks like the party's over. Jessie may find the turned over merry-go-round to be a fine place to sit. ]

[al2955]

[At first glance, nothing seems to stand out in the medical bay.]

conference room

[unasking]

[another glance over here, what's up, statue?]

[parodeity]

[ ok but what if they take a second glance and start opening cabinets and rifling through shit as they shit-talk the music, what then ]

[socloverit]

[Anything in the cabinets while she gets together mugs and spoons and the like for the unholy amount of sugar and milk and cream she's preparing?]

[al2955]

[It doesn't look like there's anything out of place here.]

[muties]

[ bc that is exactly what to do, time to rifle through things. see if mari's been by to knock shit over again. ]

I hope not? That'd be really shitty. IDK, who would you bet on?

[brooches]

[ Glancing to Machias. ]

Maybe? People were having fun in it last time I was here -

[ NOPE NOT HER AND JASON, NOPE.

BUT SHE GIVES JESSIE A WAVE, can't tell her to do nothin' she don't wanna do.

Elizabeth hums to herself, tossing the ball back into the pit. She's kneeling down, picking at the fabric of the half-inflated lining and lifting it up a bit to inspect it. Are there any holes? ]

I guess people were too rough.
