WEEK ZERO: PIZZA PARTY

[saturations]

SURPRISE!

Sunday morning starts peacefully enough, until around noon, when alarms start going off on your phones informing you of a Pizza Party taking place in the Central Node. You can snooze the alarms at first, but they begin to get a little more insistent after a while if you aren't making progress heading down there. If you're being stubborn, you can probably hold out until right at 1 PM, when an archway opens right in front of you and pulls you in.

The central node is comfortable right now, with blankets laid out on the grass and boxes of pizza are set out. Cheese, Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, Veggie, I could just keep writing types of pizza all day. A few boxes even contain very weird varieties of pizza, but if you give them a try, some of them might be good! Some are as terrible as you'd expect. Otherwise, the pizzas are all warm and delicious, and there's enough for everyone.

The Residents are all already here, waiting for you! Have a fun and cool day!

... Unless?

[ he's not touching clarte's memory trauma, that sounds like something for therapy pcs ]

...If we look past the matter of wanting to or not wanting to regain anything, it's still strange. They might have been here for a very long time—we can't know for sure—but we should keep an eye out for any side effects of staying here a while. I've thought it was strange that their memories seem murky too.

[georeject]

I agree with that much, at least. If their memory loss is actually induced externally, rather than merely an effect of potentially living a long life, then that's something we need to be alert for.

[naruhodope]

Right. It's a matter of learning more about our environment. ...If we don't know what the prism is capable of, and how it reacts, we're bound to have issues like yesterday.

[withaswing]

I feel fine for now... I think. Um, memory-wise. Maybe it's only them... from being here so long.

[pura]

Did the group that visited the library yesterday ever get their memories back?

[withaswing]

I don't know...

[YALLS MEMORIES HELP]

[petalbursts]

We haven't, no...

[ frowns. ]

[withaswing]

What?! Oh my God...

[petalbursts]

I was hoping they would, after seeing Prompto's photos but...

[impurities]

Even Miss Ruby and I trying to talk about what happened last night didn't bring anything back.

[ that's a yikes from me bro ]

[petalbursts]

[ yikes x2 ]

[daggering]

[ hear hear ]

Yeah. Not like we know how long of a timeline that’d take, anyway, since they don’t know how long they’ve been here, either.

[naruhodope]

Right. None of them seem to give straight answers about how long they've been here—considering that the clock here doesn't even seem to work, I'm not surprised.

[ he's a little antsy with what's going on, but eats pizza anyway. meanwhile damien out here thinking about shooting riff off a rooftop with a tree or something. ]

We'll just have to keep an eye on what happens, and on each other. [ blah blah truth finding ]

[pura]

... About that clock. It did something weird the other day, like it worked for a moment.

[naruhodope]

[ pauses in the middle of getting more pizza ]

Did it?

[pura]

[nodding...]

For a moment, there were hands on the face. And then it made a noise... about eleven times.

[naruhodope]

Strange...

[ maybe they can check if that's ever happened before. but right now he has to watch with growing nervousness as this paintball fight intensifies. ]
