WEEK TWO - Investigation

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (2)

friday (?) survivors Friday comes again, but this time it's much more gentle. There are no songs ousting you from your rooms, no — instead, you are allowed to sleep however long you would like as long as it does not breach any rules. If you attempt to open your datapad, however, you will be greeted with a video and accompanying music, of a different sort of persuasion from the music played previously — this one is not a jangly easy listening style tune, but rather a haunting and dreamlike elegy. Turning off your datapad will make the video disappear, but restarting the datapad will only bring the video back up again. Despite this, nothing out of the ordinary seems to occur. You have lunch, wander the garden, and have a drink with the companions you have made in the past two weeks. Soon, mid-afternoon comes. ENTER COMMAND_

[ Around 4:30PM, a piercing scream rings out. It seems like it's coming from the office. ]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ He'll be dashing towards that way now -- does he make it in time?

To see a dead body or... ? }

[parodeity]

[ well, shit. dave was having such a nice day, too. when you hear a piercing scream you run towards it, so. he supposes to the office he goes? ]

[antagonize]

[YEAH. Don't mind him as he quickly runs in that direction. Screaming is never a good sign at all.]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[Well let's not just stand around! Hurrying to the office!]

[tayu]

[Well, she's not panicked about it, but she'll be heading that way anyway. TIME TO INVESTIGATE.]

[al2955]

[ Too bad none of you will see anything but a door. The office door seems to be stuck. Pushing and pulling seems to do nothing at all. ]

[parodeity]

Think we should chance the vandalism shit?

[ dave feels like "yes" is right here? ]

[antagonize]

Yes. If it's not budging, we kick it down.

[VANDALISM, VANDALISM, VANDALISM...!]

[tayu]

May as well.

[SHRUG]

[thanatosincarnate]

... Like I'll let this get in the way.

{ He'll try to kick down that door?? }

[parodeity]

I'd say on three but let's skip the countin'.

[ he'll shove over enough so jason can help out here. and. whoever else is built which is like everyone who replied except shelley i guess? ]

[al2955]

[ Come on, guys, you'll need to put a little more oomph into it than that. We're talking a joint force. The door doesn't seem to be budging at all. ]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[If you think she is going to stand away just because she is not strong and well built you are sorely mistaken.

She is standing aside because four people are more than enough to deal with a door]

[parodeity]

[ oh my god fine ]

On three y'all: one, two -

[ push for a joint force I GUESS ]

[antagonize]

[even the brackets are shaming then HOW RUDE]

—Three!

[Y'ALL BETTER PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT BEFORE THE BRACKETS SHAME THEM AGAIN.]

[tayu]

[oh fine, it's not Tsukuyo if she's not being dragged into stupid things.

HEAVE HO]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ And SHOVING AT THE SAME TIME AS THEM.

this is stupid, just open already. }

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[You know what, screw it. Shelley is trying too]

[al2955]

[ With that joint effort, they manage to make the door give way, despite being a group of wilting flowers (and Shelley). There's no falling through the door shenanigans, thankfully — instead, the door is set back on its tracks. There is a loud cracking noise from below, though. ]

[parodeity]

[ uh, what the fuck did they just break and was it a person please don't be a fucking person ]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ inb4 it's a person and they somehow crushed them dead }

[antagonize]

[did they accidentally squish someone DID THEY ACCIDENTALLY CRUSH THEIR HEAD LIKE A WATERMELON]

[al2955]

[ Thankfully it isn't a person. Instead, if they lean in, they'll notice it's the remains of some pale ceramic material. ]

[parodeity]

[ the fuck is that. ]

The fuck is that?

[ dave will let someone else poke it? he'll try to look further into the room to see if a) it is safe to enter and b) is there anyone who was screaming? ]
