monday - thursday (31) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods. (OOC: Please submit your murder proposals by 9 PM EST Tuesday.) taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook murder proposals ENTER COMMAND_

[listen.

adrien is immediately loading up the app and creating his character because Of Course, though not without commenting:]

Is it me, or is everyone on this ship obsessed with "furries"?

[says the furry]

[todorable]

Excuse you, don't kinkshame. What're you even doing that's making so much noise?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he shows his datapad's screen to Totty. he finished his character customization and is in the middle of the intro "cutscene", it seems.]

Some sort of game? It downloaded automatically.

[todorable]

Looks cute, at least... What's it about?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'm not sure? I'm moving to a new town and I think they're making me their mayor?

[is he ready for such furry responsibility]

[todorable]

That sounds abrupt. Did you campaign or something? Are you here to turn this podunk town around and teach them how to dance?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Maybe I'm just that charismatic? [he plays a little bit as he speaks] I don't think these animals have a concept of politics.

[todorable]

Guess that's why they were willing to have literally the first person who showed up run their town. ...So what can you do to it? Hike tax rates? Change zoning laws? Schedule trash pick ups to only be every two weeks, even during the summer?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

What? No. [wow!!! totty!! videogame cruelty potential is REAL and he would NEVER] I'm not going to make them suffer, they believe in me!

[they are fictional animals adrien]

[todorable]

They blindly gave you that power. How else are they going to learn that they should vet their politicians? Oh--make a law that says they have to all wear uniforms!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Uniforms? What kind of dictator am I supposed to be pretending to be, a high school principal?

[todorable]

They're pretty dastardly, let's be real. Every three months, the citizens have to take math tests or else they have to pay a fine!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

And, what, do I give the fine's amount as a math formula to make it even more evil?

[todorable]

Yes. x squared plus 2x minus 5 equals why are you still in my town. If they figure out all the math, you should probably hire them, though.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

If they figure that out, they've gained sentience and I should probably delete the app, just in case.

[todorable]

Eh, they've probably just accessed the calculator app, nothing really to worry about. Make 'em do your homework instead!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I don't need their help to do my homework. [a beat] Why do I even still have homework if I'm the mayor?

[todorable]

Until you change the laws so that school is only compulsory to however young you are, you've got to do homework! You don't want to be a criminal mayor, do you?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Wouldn't I already be a criminal mayor, with all of those laws I'm passing?

[todorable]

No, just a little on the draconian side. But think of the embarrassment of having the truant officer show up at your office! Social media would have a field day!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Uh. What's a truant officer?

[todorable]

The people who come to your house when you don't go to school. Well, not high school, that's usually your homeroom teacher, but then high school's optional where I'm from. Also, I'm pretty sure our teachers were secretly happy when we ditched class so they didn't have to deal with us... Anyway, I assume a law-abiding justice lover like yourself probably doesn't come across them much.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I... don't think we have those back home? I've missed classes [...for superheroing] and no one's ever said anything.

[todorable]

Well... Maybe they're on to you. They let it slide since they know your proclivities.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[that gets some nervous laughter out of him] Trust me, there's no way anyone back home is onto me so far.

[HE HOPES]
