trust you've got a game plan

[ At noon on Wednesday, Riley's standing ready in the dining hall, with a clipboard and a big smile to anyone who shows up. She's set blank stacks of paper on the table, but we'll get to that. As promised, there's some basic snacks as well as some tasty banana bread. Snacks for everyone! ]

Welcome everyoooone~! Thank you so much for showing up. This is a new and confusing experience for all of us, but I'm sure if we strive to stick together and cooperate, it'll help us foster the most productive environment that we can. [ Bright, bright smile. ] So! I've gathered all of you so we can share any discoveries and compare basic information that might give us any idea of why we've been brought here. Good? Okaaaay!

[ That smile never leaves her face. She sets something down from her clipboard and starts passing out that blank paper. ]

Sooo, following my example, if you could fill this out, that...can be a good starting discussion!

[ Her example is essentially a survey. Wonderful penmanship, again. ]

Mm-hm.

[ And with the exact same cadence one might give to any other commercial jingle: ]

Lungs and livers and bladders and hearts! You'll always save a bundle when you buy our GeneCo parts!

[ ... if you let her get to the second half she will but uh. ]

Oh, that's a catchy one.

[He's gotta teach that to Marius.]

[ Ask her later for the whole thing, there's more! ]
redjoker: So mind your manners, sonny Jim (There are tales to be told.)

[He absolutely will, GeneCo sounds like a barrel of laughs.]
recessives: (or maybe two or three)

[ suddenly sheepish ]

It's... the jingle from their commercials?
recessives: (checkup from dad)

[personal profile] recessives 2020-07-01 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, I can see how it would be if you're from before GeneCo.
recessives: (rest again and by then it's like 7:15!)

No, I... I've never even been outside the house, and I live there alone with my dad. And he's just a doctor... I can't exactly see him having enemies.

[ the joke is that, with neither of them knowing it, Shilo Has Not Stopped Talking About GeneCo ]
recessives: (and then I'll read a book)

[personal profile] recessives 2020-07-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I... it's dangerous out there, even if you didn't inherit a blood disease.

[ she doesn't sound not slightly bitter about this? ]
recessives: (checkup from dad)

[personal profile] recessives 2020-07-01 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shilo takes a step back, putting up her hands. ]

No, it's... that's weird too, huh?
recessives: (start on my meds)

[personal profile] recessives 2020-07-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shilo nods. ]

My dad is... he's been working on a cure instead of just the treatment, but no luck yet.

[ laughs in spoilers ]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Just... if I pass out, the pills The Phantom gave me are in my room, I guess. I can handle food and... dad always says outside air is bad for me, but that's just him worrying too much, it's fine.
recessives: (and rest til my blood's all clean!)

[ She nods. ]

I'll try, but... that's where the rest of them are if anything happens.
