trustfelled | Week 1.

WEEK 1
Despite how unhelpful she seems, one thing has become very clear after talking to the Transmitter: there's no way out of here. It seems like you're stuck here for the time being and the rules the Transmitter told you about are still hanging in every room. You'll be left up to your own devices now – feel free to continue exploring and getting to know your fellow Patients for the next several days. Should you want to eat something you're free to use the kitchen before 10PM, but after that the doors will be locked and no amount of fussing with the locks or trying to break them down will get them to budge.

However, your wake-up call in the morning isn't exactly a pleasant one - loud bursts of static over the intercom can be heard early in the morning, pulsing almost as though it's following some sort of pattern, though it isn't possible to discern exactly what that pattern might be. This will happen every morning at 7AM and again in the evenings at 10PM. You'll be able to hear it no matter what room you're in. There isn't any punishment for sleeping through it, but you don't want to waste the day in bed, now do you?

(Unless you were out exploring all last night. In which case, go back to bed, damn.)

PATIENTS REMAINING: 30

[OOC: Welcome to week one of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Transmitter, you can do so through text or the phone in your room!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ As if in response to the question, Mikoto's stomach growls audibly. He tiredly rubs the back of his neck as he approaches. ]

... Yeah. Thanks.

It's no trouble.

[She grabs a plate out, taking the spatula and scooping some eggs onto it before passing it his way.]

There you go! Oh, wait, you'll need a fork—

[And that being said, she grabs one out for him as well, setting it on the plate.]

[ He silently takes the plate (with the fork) as it's offered. Afterwards, he gives a slight nod that's probably supposed to be some form of thanks, then sticks the fork into the eggs without a second thought.

... ]

Are you used to cooking for others? [ More curiosity than anything. He slowly starts eating with a pretty indifferent looking expression. ]

[She gives a nod to his question while she grabs a plate for herself.]

Mhm! For my younger brother and sister when I had to babysit.

[ Eggs are light and easy and Mikoto's appetite is large. He's not one for manners either so he wolfs his share down not long after she finishes her sentence.

He drops his plate and fork onto some counter, fully expecting someone else to pick them up later. ]

You cook often then. [ Mikoto will remember this. ]

You must've been pretty hungry!

[It's surprised rather than critical of how quickly he ate, but the way her eyes linger on the plate as he sets it down is a bit disapproving. She doesn't voice that sentiment, however.]

Pretty often. It's a good pastime! Do you know how?

[ He makes an affirmative sounding "mm" at her mention of being hungry. If she were being critical, he would neither have noticed nor cared, just like he doesn't notice or care about how she's looking at the plate.

He's very spoiled. ] No.

Do you want me to show you how? I bet you could get pretty good at it!

[A beat, as she continues to look at the plate.]

But, um, don't you think you should clean that?

[ He takes in a slow, tired breath and an even more tired exhale. ]

Haven't got any interest in either.

Oh. Well, um... Wouldn't it be nice to do things for yourself, though? It always makes me happy when I can!

And what makes you happy is supposed to work for me?

Oh, no, that's not what I meant! I just thought, um, you might like it more than you think if you tried it... That's all.

[ ... Hm. He regards her slowly before relaxing just the slightest bit. ]

Cooking with a frying pan is a pain.

Well, there are probably recipes where you don't need to use a frying pan!

The oven's no better.

Oh... Well, maybe something that doesn't need to be heated up, then?

[ Pause. Long, long pause. ]

Ice cream?

Yeah, that would be one! I'm not sure how to make that, but I bet we could find someone who does know!

Yeah? I could try. Dunno if it'd amount to anything though.

Well, you won't know whether it will until you try. I think you'll be pretty good at it, though!

... That's a lot of faith to have in someone you hardly know.

I don't really think so! Once you start to learn, cooking is pretty easy.

[A beat.]

N-Not that I think you couldn't do if it was hard, that's not what I meant!

[ He makes a soft "hmph" sound. ]

Didn't take it that way to begin with.

That's a relief. I wouldn't have wanted to be rude accidentally, so...

[A pause.]

Oh, but I forgot to introduce myself! My name's Rose.

Suoh Mikoto. [ He sticks his hands in his pockets. ]

You gonna be here tomorrow?
