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

monday (41) survivors It had been three days since you had awoken. The ship was still quiet, except for the low hums of enigmatic machines with no apparent purpose. You awake, like usual, to dim lighting and poor rations. Perhaps being on the ship had grown monotonous — it was, perhaps, amazing how little anything seemed to happen in space, a final frontier of malaise. That monotony is crushed by a voice echoing through the narrow hallways. Reformatting . . . Reformatting . . . Reformatting complete. The Pygmalion is online. Welcome, travelers. Please assemble in the meeting room. Your presence is mandatory. Silence falls once again. A minute or so passes, and the lights around the ship finally brighten, the walls looking more alive and more unfamiliar — as if you must relearn the ship's interior once again. The robots on deck begin to make rounds, nudging and pushing at the ship's passengers to make their way to the meeting room. You hear the doors behind you lock. It seems there is only one path to take. ENTER COMMAND_

Oh, no no, me? Are you kidding? I'm far too clumsy! I would trip and fall trying to jump two feet!

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER this is totally believable]

Or it's just full of terrible jokes! [Hence skills like "crying"]

[mnasthai]

I'm not really good at physical activity either, so I understand. [ You know, in apparent contrast to the agility listed on his card. He nods, totally agreeing with a friendly smile. Whether he actually buys what she's saying is impossible to tell, but he seems more than happy to accept this line of reasoning.]

Whoever brought us here must be a strange person, so that makes sense as well.

[missmaladroite]

Maybe that's why they put it there! As a bad joke, since it's the opposite?

[Yeah, that must be it]

[continues laughing]

Very, very strange!

[mnasthai]

[ Okay, he actually can't help it anymore and he starts to laugh too. It's not just a little laugh either, and it takes him several moments to recompose himself to speak again.]

It's all really stupid.
