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. )

I consider it likely. My own world nearly managed to achieve as much within some three thousand years. But I imagine even without magic, the humans of yours would find a way to move on to other worlds, or rebuild. You shouldn't take that will to survive lightly.

[Phantom holds the water glass out to Miach, raising an eyebrow and waiting for her to provide the dinosaur element. Important science conference progress is being made!]

[ Carefully, carefully... a dinosaur pill is dropped into the water so softly it hardly ripples. Now they wait and watch in a totally adequate amount of wonder for something this silly! ]

It's a rather desperate thing, that will. Without it, mankind in my world would have already driven itself to total elimination fifty years ago... but the way I see it, they're prolonging the inevitable rather than working constructively to learn from their mistakes.

[exofractured]

Very likely. If the situation is already so dire, then the natural reflex is to address the crisis at hand rather than the bigger problem. What mistakes are those?

[Unfortunately for Phantom's dignity, science (and dinosaurs) are simply kind of cool! It's fascinating to watch the little pill slowly unfurl. This really has no redeeming value but it is Neat.]

Greed and lust for violence, of course. Massacres committed in the name of lofty ideals, while being a grab for power all-the-same.

And surely, they would argue to have learned. After all, greed and violence have been eradicated - death is frowned upon. To compensate for killing millions by attempting to deny death and disease entirely... I can see why it was thought to be a good idea, but this kind of thinking in extremes is never going to lead to progress.

[ Unlike the dinosaur, the dinosaur is progressing. Dinosaurs are superior, even these. ]
