WEEK 1 - Online

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_

[aghh are you serious agh you are completely serious]

Teach them a lesson...I can't say I disagree with the sentiment.

What're you going to do? Like, where are you going to start?

[listen she's a teenage french superhero what do you want from her]

We have to start by investigating. This machine probably won't give us answers - but once we find out how we got here and how they're keeping us here, we might have a shot at finding out who's behind this.

[superheroes, gosh. stop showing us up and making the rest of us look like cowardly assholes, just because we are]

That...makes sense. But how are we supposed to find that out? I mean, if we knew, couldn't we just go home?

[become super totty]

I have a feeling it won't be easy. But finding out who did this will still be part of going home.

[unfortunately it is unlikely that super totty would be any less of an asshole, and he probably wouldn't be much less cowardly, either]

[that said, he is not enough of an asshole (atm) to crush a child's dreams when life will do it for him soon enough :')]

...Right, of course. And...and it's not as though there's a quota, and everyone has to start flipping out tomorrow, right? Maybe...maybe there'll be some time to figure things out.
