YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

((OOC: Welcome to the week! We've got subheadings and things to organize you lot for investigations and whatnot, so please follow those. If you ever need reference, remember that location maps and such are over here!

If you ever need anything from us mods, don't hesitate to leave us a mod ping in your subject line so we know where to go!

Good luck, Strangers, and don't fuck it up.))

Yeah. It's basically that you can send information back and forth to other people and even communicate with others live. Kind of like a radio, but you can have text or audio or video.

Video being like. . . kind of like a recording? Except it's not.

[stopfen]

I don't know what a radio is... [She's learning so much. That's going to be useless when she gets back.

...If she doesn't die first.]

A recording, that's like the movie from before. Or those CDs? So you can send those without someone having to travel. That sounds useful.

[More than useful. With how quick things could go wrong.]

[dereban]

Does your world have communication devices of any sort? Or is it just letters...?

[ She frowns a little deeply because lack of radios, but okay, she can work with these. ]

And yes, basically.

[stopfen]

We have flairs.

Maybe the outside has more. But I haven't seen it. There's a lot of strange things, like food that is colder than the room.

[This is why they got so much attention.]

[dereban]

Oh, so very. . . simple things like that. Got it.

I can teach about a lot of stuff like that if you just ask.

[stopfen]

[She snorts at that.]

Wouldn't your time be better spent looking at it yourself?

[She's serious about that. It wouldn't be possible to teach her enough if they were on a time limit.]

[dereban]

It would, but I can't just hyperfocus on stuff otherwise I might lose my mind. And that's actually worse for us as a group rather than better.

[stopfen]

If you think you can show me enough, then I'll try.

[teach her to compute]

[dereban]

Sure. Just ask me whenever you're stuck on something or are confused about anything and I can give my input.

[stopfen]

Thank you then.

[Then she somehow hacks it few days later. ]
