06.50 - week six, saturday
W6 SATURDAY
It’s Saturday…and things seem a little more standard, this time, when Lorelei makes a quick announcement on the tablets again at 8am:
”Good morning, students. It’s time for your sixth…and final official lesson. Yes. What this means is that this is the final detected orb located here, and while this does not indicate the end of the course just yet, it is the final day for your evaluation. Florence will meet you in front of the grocery store at 8pm tonight. Please do not be late. You are also free to bring a self-defense weapon with you, and any pain-alleviating items you have received. Nothing else will be allowed.”
She seems to be her usual self this time, and this certainly seems a lot kinder than the "trust exercise" from last week.

With the memories of last week’s lesson still lingering, a bit of wariness would be understandable. Still, Florence did say that this week shouldn’t be nearly so bad - whether you believe them or not is up to you - and they’re there at the grocery store, ready for another lesson.
They do seem a bit distracted, as it takes them a moment before they address everyone.
“Hello. Today’s lesson will be focused purely on cooperation. It is another journey into an orb, so things may be unpredictable, but nothing so severe…”
They trail off, before nodding at nothing.
“There is a storm. You must prepare to survive it, and prepare for any other eventualities. As I said, it may be unpredictable. I will be around to help in any way I possibly can.”
With that, it’s off into another orb - and the lush island on the other side. Surely this won’t be too hard, right?

OOC NOTE
Welcome to Week 6 Saturday's event. As Lorelei stated above, this is the final orb lesson for the game. Characters will have to work together to survive on a deserted island through an oncoming storm. How this will work OOCly is simple:
There will be three phases. Planning, gathering, and constructing. Planning will be short and mostly designed to have everyone gather their bearings and figure out who's doing what. Gathering will be collecting materials to help with their survival. Constructing will involve fortifying your "home base" so to speak.
Gathering and Constructing will run for 2 hours each. At the 1 hour mark for both phases, however, random events will happen that may throw characters off-kilter. There may be other things in between depending on character actions, but you can expect them at the hour mark at the very least. Planning will only last for 30 minutes, unless an extension is needed.
These instructions are not IC. This is for OOC organizational purposes.
We also have a section for people to submit threads so we can track progress and determine the outcome of the event. Qualifying threads must have at least 5 comments from you; more details can be found on the top level below.
The storm will happen at 5pm EST.

I'll hold it in place while you work on securing it.
[ He smiles. ]
I'm so lucky to have a boyfriend that's so capable~
no subject
The rest of you have a lot more life left to live out. It would suck if it was cut short because someone who had the potential to save them did absolutely nothing.
[ Children. The lot of them. He gets the logs that are tied up and makes it lean against the fortified wall of the hut. ]
Lend me your shoulders and help me get this thing up there after.
no subject
[ Fai smiles as he crouches down so Hien can get up on his shoulders. ]
Now let me help you out, since I'm so big and strong.
no subject
[ He stands on Fai's shoulders—he only weighs around 130 lbs—and leaps onto the roof. He holds his hands out so that he can get the layer of wood. ]
Toss me the moss too, if you got any. Big leaves too.
no subject
Good thing the moss and the leaves were right on the edge of the jungle.
no subject
[ He takes all that Fai hands over and resumes working. This hammer is getting so much use. ]
Can you climb up here so that the stuff doesn't fall off? I got some waterproof duct tape.
no subject
[ And he does manage to climb up there, looking at Hien expectantly when he is. ]
My view of you is better up here.
no subject
I'm not taking my shirt off.
no subject
[ He says, despite getting attacked by a giant crab earlier. ]
no subject
[ He resumes working and definitely not taking his shirt off. But his t-shirt starts clinging onto him because of the sweat, so. Have fun, Fai... ]
no subject
Hmmm... I think it's better this way.
[ my condolences to flatview... ]
no subject
[ He doesn't face Fai though, and keeps working. Maybe he's oblivious to the staring. ]
no subject
Your shirt sticking to you instead.
no subject
Help me layer this thing with moss, leaves, and the parachute.
no subject
[ And he will do exactly that!! ]
