06 - week six

WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

[I am assuming that turning the thing on isn’t going to trigger some kind of self-destruct device so!! He’ll find the power button and see what he can make of it first. It would be kind of silly to just leave it without checking.]

[afflictionmods]

[He's safe from any sort of self-destruct! It might take a bit of searching, but he will find a button with the universal, circular symbol for power on it. The button itself is also circular, which is nice, but it's just a button. It's on the largest of the Vague Box Of Electrical Components, and none of the rest have any so it seems like there's just the one button for this entire... Situation.]

[me writing that tag while still waking up and not ever realizing I didn’t mention he would press the button fml

Anyway he’s pressing it! Let’s see what this machine will do when it’s turned on!!]

[afflictionmods]

[it's ok maybe shin is just being Extra Cautious with mysterious florence buttons

The machine turns on, with a lot of buzzing and flashing lights, and surprisingly this machine doesn't seem to require a password!

Of course, that doesn't make what's on the screens any more recognizable. One of the screens is a list of words in the Estelline language - with the last four lines greyed out. Shin can probably piece together that these are names. The names of the students enrolled in the course specifically.

One of the monitors is a standard desktop background, with program icons for a browser, recycle bin, and what seems to be games. The rest of the screens are dark, but in the "background image is black but the screens are still on" kind of way. It doesn't seem like there's any sort of mouse, tablet, or anything else that could be used to interact with the computer, though.]

[undertakings]

[Just going to tap on the screen with one of those greyed names in case this is a touchscreen or something. If that doesn't work though, are there any ports on the side of the monitors or whatnot so they can plug a mouse in? Also just to be clear, but are all of the wires connected to one of the other screens or are there some that are free on one end?]

[afflictionmods]

[The tapping does nothing, but there are ports! Most of the wires are connected to the screens or power sources, except for one. It's a relatively thick wire compared to all the rest, and it's coming out of the main tower and ends in what looks more like a needle than any standard sort of connection.]

[undertakings]

[Hm. He'll memorize the types of ports available, and he can come back later with or without someone else. Anyway, he'll power everything down for now.

Alright, checking out the rest of the room now!! Is there anything else that stands out besides all the electronics and the balcony? Any other furniture or cabinets or whatnot?]

[afflictionmods]

[Florence doesn't seem to have much in the way of furniture, but they do have a collection of yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks around in their bedroom, carefully stored in boxes. These seem to be their in-progress projects.

But besides the plants on the balcony, that's it! If he wants to take a look at them, he's welcome to, otherwise the apartment is cleared.]

[undertakings]

[Huh... well, they have to do something while the rest of them are sleeping, probably. But okay he'll be back with a mouse or something at some point and maybe someone else... who knows!!

But now it's back to being outside and checking out some of the other units. Anyways, just doing this in broad strokes for everyone's sanity, but for the unlocked apartments, are there signs that people evacuated (so, necessities being taken, maybe some stuff left in disarray)? Also, are there any signs that there were other Camellia employees living in some of these units?]

[afflictionmods]

[Godspeed, Shin.

There are quite a few apartments where it seems the residents evacuated, yes! But there are just as many where it seems like people simply stepped outside and never returned, with everything as it should be.

There are no signs of any Camellia employees in these complexes, though, so with that the apartment units are cleared entirely!]
