The Exam: IC Community

[Oh la la Baguette]
Does anyone have a concept of what "Survivor" is and what it entails? The only information I've gathered is that in one world it's a series on television that somehow involved a crazy naked man, and that a newcomer reports that a similar event from his home involves murdering children for entertainment.

I was hoping maybe we could figure out more details to better prepare our volunteers, or consider revoking their names if this is something to be concerned with. I will not blame anyone for backing out if they are uncomfortable with the premise. Otherwise, are there any sorts of survival skills that we need brushing up on?

[Connor]
So. I... were you intending to tell me?

[Ash]
Were you ever successful in getting it working?

Seems like I've somehow swapped districts for blocks, still I guess at least blue is better than dull grey.

So while I'm here anybody wanna tell me what the hell is going on? And where I can get a drink or four?

So it looks like we've got some decisions to make as a group, and I thought maybe it would be easier to do some brainstorming if we just... talked about it here. If that's okay, anyway, it seemed simpler than trying to round everyone up inside when we can finally go exploring.

So. If anybody's got strong opinions on team names, or who they want to nominate to be in charge... or if you want to put your name up to volunteer, here and now is a good time to speak up.

Blue is a nice color. There's a room with lots of tools and tables. It's pretty bitchin.

[ Steve ]
You're not in blue. Hopper and I are there. Are you okay?

[ Peter ]
I'm the blue block, just like you.

I'm not sure what to make of this place. It seems too new, too expensive. Like I might break something if I touch it.

It doesn't feel like any place that's supposed to be my home. I've tried looking around this block, but I don't really recognize much of anyone.

What are the other areas like?

[Maeve]
I have something that may be of interest to you. I was curious if you have received anything from... our world as well.

Fellow forced world travelers who were in the Carstairs Zompire Murder House, we had a lot of diary entries and word puzzles and there was a fucking anagram that still haunts my dreams but in particular if you remember the poem that was all about how much Dave's life sucked?

( For those who have found the letter in this book... )

It was the answer to the puzzle on our waterlogged phones, in case anyone cares. Also it fucking figures that the last piece of the map that could be anywhere is literally an X so that's cool. X marks the spot to....there. Unless anyone recognizes that blob of land mass because I kind of don't.

Has anyone seen any rats yet? I'm hoping we don't get a repeat of what happened before when the interior landscape looked like this...

Well, here is to hoping my brace doesn't rust or I'm going to be out of commission pissed as hell.

Woah, crazy times! I mean, I'm glad it stopped storming and thanks to whoever did me a solid and pointed me to the basement, that was a big help! But now everything's fixed, which is super great. Still haven't found ice cream yet, not super great. Eventually! I have hope.

Oh, son of a chicken biscuit, I almost forgot. I'm Matthew. My brothers are Declan and Ronan in case you know them! If you don't, you should. I like food (duh!), sports, and like, amazing jokes that are terrible! Just like, the cornier the better! Let's be friends. :)))))))

Finally got proper footing once I got into this janitor closet on the first floor. Don't think it's gonna be a good time either way. Too much water and not enough fucking ways to get out of it. So if anyone's got a trick to get out of this, I'm all ears.

If I ever get my chainsaw hand back, I promise to repay you the favor someday when you need your life saved.

I, for one, am always excited to see a plague of darkness upon the land.

Even so, I’m looking forward to taking the risk of choosing the exit door at the next opportunity.

The sunrise here is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's a relief I can't sunburn, because I can't stand the smell of this stuff.

But I didn't know you could get sand in so many places.

[Markus]
I thought you might appreciate if I check in. I'm fine.

I was hoping we could do something more fun later? You mentioned the piano before, if that's still an offer. And I've seen others mention karaoke.

[Maeve]
It appears we have a lot of catching up to do.

But whatever happened back there, in Sweetwater, I'm glad you managed to find the door. We all deserved a way out. Even if you brought one of them with.

[Lucifer]
I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I'm glad you didn't have to... be there last night. But I'm fixed now. That's the important part.

Were you still thinking of leaving?

[Ash]
Meet me at the beach? I have a bucket and a shovel. I think they're intended for ice. But I have better ideas.

Okay, real talk - any one out there who does the whole 'magical healing' thing? Because I'm sure we're all aware that many of us got our asses kicked by goat demons in pseudo-Russia (what the fuck even was that anyway, I mean, I'm not surprised but what the fuck was that) and you don't have to respond publicly but. I could just really use the assist. Will pay in cocktails with umbrellas in them, or we'll figure something out.

Also that weird picture vomit on our phones spells out Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest, and you can't convince me otherwise.

This is certainly a welcome change.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS]
((if they've interacted he considers them a friend unless they've been a dick to him, but if you have any questions on if your character would see it feel free to drop me a line!))

Everyone alive? In one piece?

[FILTERED TO KYLO]
We are apparently sharing a room here. I will be honest, I don't sleep, so I won't take up too much space.

How in the hell --?

I somehow doubt I'm still on the outpost.

We managed to gain control over the prison...somewhat. I realize most of you are probably busy fighting against whatever those things are, but if you were worried about those of us in the Yulelag, we appear to be safe here for now. We're just trapped.

I won't speak for everyone here, but I know that I'm frustrated at being kept away from the present fight myself.

Don't panic, but we're under attack by some kind of horned goat-like creatures. There are tools that can be used as weapons stockpiled in the abandoned rail yard, assuming Zemo's arrest didn't change that. If you are unable to defend yourself, injured, or you are simply alone, please try to leave a message here with your location so someone can come to your aid.

These creatures look like they originate from the Krampus myths. If you are underage, you might especially be targeted. I don't know much about what can destroy Krampus in the lore, only that he could sometimes be bribed with schnapps. Take that as you will.

[OOC note: Tools available as far as I can tell: 10 spades, 10 hoes, 6 hand trowels, some gasoline.]

I'm beginning to hate snow.

[FILTERED FROM IRMA/SOVIETS]
Anyone else getting tired of this place and want to do something about it?

[ZEMO]
Markus says you have spoken about a trade?

I'd question how often someone was going to get sick, but when you're starving and in the cold, I guess the answer is a lot.
