...she's seen right into the heart of it.

I'm still here... hoping to get posted today.

Eol edition. 'cept I'm pretty sure those aren't snakes. Someone took a hammer to all the ladders too. No shortcuts in this thing.

I'm also pretty sure that those ladders were glass just to be easy to break. Oh wait, that answers whose hammer this is... Pi loves breaking glass for her collection.

Worst case scenario, we steal her blueprints and make glass fireball cannons out of these here shards and use that to break out of the establishment that wasn't courteous enough to just ask for a resume. If they had just asked nicely, I'm sure Annie won't be so peeved off

needs to take a break and allow us to get this game started....

Back off, life! I need a minute!

eventually start right??

lol

i know ppl get busy but ...

...coming right up!

have to stop reading things when i first wake up.. I had to re-read Astrid's message a billion times i kept thinking, "Why is she mentioning Christas..." Then it clicked...

.. Reading things at 5am when you're barely awake is not a good thing

Part one of two is up.

As I noted in my OOC comment I noticed a couple of discrepancies in the next bit (which involves Disturbance and Download) that I really want to correct before posting. Working on that now.

As to those of you who have been mentioned in the part that's there... feel free to start your posting or quesntioning or whatever if you feel you've got enough to do so.

*skitters off to read* YAY!

Daniel and Lila are currently the only two characters with any modicum of 'freedom' right now. Daniel because he "works for the Project" and Lila because she has, thus far, been a "willing participant" in the program (not to mention she's Ashcroft's niece).

Lila has what equivocates to a dorm room on Tier Two of the facility, and has access to most of that level (Medical facilities, Programs (basically "school"), Sports Center, and Recreation areas). She has not been off Two Tier unsupervised; however, and is not allowed to leave this tier unescorted.

Daniel has quarters on One Tier and access to most of the facility. Thus far, however, he's not been allowed to leave The MARSH (even on his days off) and, other than the lights of a landing strip he chanced to glimpse out the window of the transport that brought him here, he's never seen the outside of the place).

The rest of you are confined to the SHU on Level K and, most times, are locked in your cells and have your abilities suppressed via various means (medication, suppression fields, psi-dampeners, etc). Your cells are essentially featureless/seamless affairs measuring about 7.5 x 11.5 feet. You have a bunk, a small desk, and a sink/toilet (all built into the walls and immovable). There are no windows or doors to be seen or felt (although you each no that one exists somewhere, otherwise how would they take you out when they came for you?) There is a monitor (think 36 in flat-screen TV) built into one wall on which Project staff may communicate with you from time to time, but most often these monitors are blank or playing some sort of nature video intended to give the illusion of looking outside.

Very few of you know exactly how long you've been here (Daniel and Lila being obvious exceptions) but you know it's been a while. The days you are allowed out of your cells are filled with interviews, medical examinations, and tests of your abilities (whether you agree to them or not)...more often than not you don't remember leaving or re-entering your cells on these days, either.

that alot of us are going to try and get back at you right??

I wouldn't have it any other way!

by "alot of us" I'm strictly speaking for Penumbra ^.^

Also, thanks to Silent for that Aly flashback in post.
