week 1

[stagemanagers]

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

Yeah, we might be down a couple of instruments.

[Sigyn fights to keep from tensing at the mention of the resistance. It's not something she's use to speaking about openly, but if this is a secret Asgardian plot to get information about their plans she'll...well she'll figure that out.]

Sure, what do you have in mind?

[37773972]

What's your experience in making weapons? Something like a crossbow or catapult- there's plenty of rope, and if we could launch it to somewhere we can't reach...

[...then they could reach it]

[reassuranceandrevolution]

I was married to the most brilliant engineer in Yggdrasil, I'm sure I could rig something up.

[Loki would make a better one, but she could make a functional one.]

Planning on getting up to have a one-on-one chat with our jailer?

[37773972]

[Functional is all they need. He almost grins until she mentions Yggdrasil] In yig-[what?

actually you know what. he waves a hand in a 'nevermind' gesture before shrugging]

I'm happy letting someone else have the chat while I just try and understand how we got here. But neither of those are going to happen by us just...standing by.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

The star system I'm from. [She really needs to get use to just saying that first]

I'm more than happy to be the one doing the talking, but I think Angus might beat me to it.

[37773972]

More space. [It's said softly, mostly to himself. He's...definitely going to ask her about that another time. Like what star is it by, if they know of Earth, and...dual evolution? Humans on both?

He doesn't even know.]

You can take turns. Right?

[reassuranceandrevolution]

I like your thinking. Angus can go up and hold him down while we reload.

[She scrunches her nose]

He'd probably notice it though and just disappear again.

[37773972]

Well, the loading is mostly to get us up in the first place. Assuming there is anywhere to go from there, we won't really need it except to maybe keep going. But I figure it's hard to disappear if you're being held down.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Here's hoping it is. Also hopefully he doesn't see it coming and disappear before we even get up there.

[37773972]

Even if he does? We might be able to explore and find something. [He shrugs a bit] Anything's better than just sitting on our hands.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

[She thinks for a moment, rubbing her chin] I bet there's some sort of mechanism up there that allows him to pop in and out. If we could find it, we might find a way out.

[37773972]

And if not, we'll try something else.

[He's pretty confident on that, at least. If at first you don't succeed...]

[reassuranceandrevolution]

At least until he gets annoyed and confines us to our rooms.

Well, tries to at least.

[37773972]

Well, if he can secure the doors like he can the front ones...[they'd be fucked, pretty much]

[reassuranceandrevolution]

But then we couldn't do what they claim we were brought here do to.

[The "murder to leave" bit]

[37773972]

[He shrugs helplessly]

I'm not a guy in a mask. I don't know how he thinks. Maybe there's some sort of logic to this all we're missing.
