Week 1.

[trustfellowship]

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

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[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!]

... Well, that's rather concerning.

[Says the guy who doesn't seem as concerned as he probably should be.]

[heritrix]

I thought so too.

[And because she just told this to Kogami, she's seeking backup.]

Even if you ignore them ruining the only nice thing we have here [aka this kitchen], wouldn't you feel safer if all the knives were returned?

[doctorize]

Indeed. It would be unfortunate if someone was injured because of people allowing their paranoia to get carried away here.

[He's the therapist guys, you should probably listen to him when he says this.]

My suggestion would be for the knives to be returned, and at night before the kitchen closes, we can designate someone to count how many are in the drawer so that everyone can be assured that someone isn't wandering around with one before turning in for the evening.

[heritrix]

I also vote in favor of this. [And she gives Daniel a smile.] Thank you for your support.

To take it one step further, I would add that we nominate two inventory takers, with anyone free to watch them as they work. This should keep everyone honest, and ease suspicions that the single person in charge of counting won't sneak a blade off themselves.

[doctorize]

Oh, that's an excellent idea! [Though, that said...] Who do you suppose we should appoint as our inventory takers, then?

[heritrix]

[Good question. Rin touches her thumb to her chin and ponders in thought.]

Well, it should be someone everybody can trust, but we haven't known each other that long... Nevertheless, I think it should be put to a vote among the entire group. That's the fairest to all parties.

[doctorize]

Agreed... and perhaps we should make it so that no one votes for themselves, just to be fair?

[heritrix]

Yes, that sounds even better. Are there any other additions you can think of?

[doctorize]

[Hmm]

Should we allow a debate if someone has an issue with a person that's been selected, or shall we stick to it being a final vote of sorts?

[heritrix]

[Hmm.]

Of the 30 of us here, I think most of us were strangers. It's probably a slim possibility that someone will have a clear lead in votes. If it comes down to the winners having just a few votes apiece, and there's protest... Yeah, in that case we should ask if there are any concerns.

[doctorize]

Very well. Now we just need to get all of the knives returned so that a proper vote can be conducted.

[heritrix]

[She closes her eyes and smiles.]

I'm sure at least a few will be more agreeable when they hear our plan. Thank you again, mister... Ah, I don't think I got your name yet.

[doctorize]

Daniel Dickens, though you're welcome to call me "Danny" if you'd like. A lot of people tend to do so, at least among my co-workers.

And you are?

[heritrix]

Danny it is.

[The American name feels a little strange on her tongue, but she'll get used to it. She introduces herself in turn then, with pride.]

I'm Rin. Tohsaka Rin.

[doctorize]

It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Rin, despite the circumstances we seem to have found ourselves in here.

[Day Three of Kidnapping and already having a Knife Intervention.]

[heritrix]

You as well. I'm glad to find someone else capable of keeping a level head.

[Nodding. And oh, actually, she just remembered something else.]

Your profile said you were an optometrist, yes?

[She might have gotten a few details of his profile mixed up.]

[doctorize]

[He laughs at that]

Therapist, actually. I do have an interest in optometry though!

[heritrix]

Oh! Really? Those fields are so different.

[doctorize]

Therapy is my primary field, but optometry is an interest of mine, among other medical subjects occasionally.

[heritrix]

[Oh, that's fair enough. Though thinking about it and this entire conversation, Rin also starts to giggle.]

[doctorize]

... Hmm? What's so funny?

[heritrix]

Oh, I just realized the irony. A guy who's squinting all the time is the one into optometry!

[That's great, but she thinks she can guess now how it started.]

How old were you when you got glasses? I bet your interest started there.

[doctorize]

[For a moment, Danny looks a little caught off guard by the question, his left eye actually more open now. (The right stays closed, however.)]

How old was I? Let's see... I think I might have been a teenager when I started wearing glasses? Though I'm not sure I would say that my interest in the subject started there.

[heritrix]

Is that so? So what was the big event? I wonder what made Daniel Dickens wake up one day and think "looking deeply into people's eyes is cool".

[Because it sounds a little boring to her. Unless...]

Or maybe it was a smooth pick-up line?

[doctorize]

No, nothing like that! I'm not sure I would even call something like that a "big event"?
