WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

I've been wondering what this is as well, truth be told.

[But he's never been introduced to the concept of soda at all.]

[backuphero]

Looking at what everyone else is getting from it, I think it's an automatic soda fountain - mixes the flavors in on its own, I mean, you still have to press buttons to make it work.

[There is a short pause as it hits him that he's talking to Fifteenth Century Guy about this.]

So, basically it's fizzy water that tastes like fruit, or just sweet. Like some French wines, or ciders, but it won't get you drunk. I don't recognize any of the flavors here, though....

[stealsyourduelist]

Hm, sounds like the sort of fare that Lord Stanley would keep at his castle. But this says it is made with cream...?

[He can't imagine what a cream-based nonalcoholic cider or wine would taste like at all.]

Shall we try some?

[backuphero]

[Jonathan grins, in the manner of one fiercely clinging to what joy he can find.]

Sure thing. And if that's anything like cream soda back where I'm from, it'll be good! You've tasted vanilla before, right?

[...he really didn't pay attention in World History, okay?]

[stealsyourduelist]

[Yeah, he's about ten years too early for that. He just pauses.]

...I suppose that will be another new taste experience.

[He's not going to have any idea what these flavors are, is he. But whatever, he's adventurous. Time to pour this soda and watch in mild fascination as he always does whenever there's liquid dispensed from a machine.]

[backuphero]

It's good, don't worry. Sweet, kind of... warm? But not spicy warm, like... curling up in a blanket warm, but as a taste.

[Hey, he's in good company, Jonathan only recognizes a few of them himself. He can definitely understand the fascination at a machine dispensing soda basically on its own, too... that's just straight-up science fiction.]
