3.0 - week three

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

Mhm.

I don't appreciate a lot about this place, but the honesty in calling it that instead of a euphemistic 'patient' is nice.

[ The world is a giant hospital etc etc etc, but she does enjoy not having her position be trivialized. ]

So no, not for my personal growth. For theirs.

[partymagician]

[ "Patient" would be... upsetting. He'd also prefer the real title. ]

Theirs? Are you interested in seeing how everyone else reacts to these tasks?

[imitationsoul]

A little bit.

[ She hesitates. ]

Though that makes me sound an awful lot like Lorelei. How unpleasant...

[partymagician]

[ That makes him laugh. ]

Hmm, I suppose it does. Tell me why you're interested in seeing how they react.

[imitationsoul]

[ Demanding... Wait, she started this talk for a reason, didn't she? ]

Only if you make me breakfast.

[partymagician]

[ That makes him smile. ]

Sure. Are you in the mood for an omelet or scrambled eggs? I could make a waffle too, if you want that instead.

[imitationsoul]

Omelet sounds good.

[ After spending a few weeks in this place, she's gotten used to the tastes of the present. It has made her the exact opposite of a picky eater - every taste is exciting and the more she learns to tolerate them, the more she enjoys eating. ]

[partymagician]

Omelet it is!

[ Fai starts to get everything ready, turning on the stove to heat up the pan. ]

So... why do you want to see how they react?

[imitationsoul]

[ Well, with breakfast secured, there is no more reason to refuse conversation. ]

They're from such different places, but all a measure of sheltered. I am of the belief that a measure of confrontation with risk and danger is necessary for the human self-preservation instinct as well as general mental health. So their adaptability is of interest to me in a way that is quite removed from Lorelei's objective.

[partymagician]

[ He's quiet for a few moments as he works on cooking the egg. ]

...I do think you have a point. However, I wouldn't want them to go through something particularly traumatic.

[ ... ]

Although, that ship might have already sailed with this past weekend.
