The Exam: IC Community

How are you all holding up? I believe that's the way the saying goes, but if I'm saying it wrong please let me know. I simply wish to expression concern for those of you still competing.

Anyone up for sparring? I don't want to get too comfortable.

[Red Team]

Especially goes for all of you. I'd like to learn more. You've all got interesting skills out there.

...This isn't Beacon Hills.

Honestly so far all the survivor challenges have — at least — not seemed too dangerous? Like no one seems to actually need to survive-survive.

I was nervous.

Please be assured I have no hard feelings. I understand that someone had to be eliminated. I'm sorry I wasn't able to help the team more.

[FILTERED TO CONNOR]

Are you Your block apparently doesn't deserve you. I'd ask you to come live with us, but I think we're all full now. Not that either of us really requires a bed. You can share lurk in my room anytime you like?

I have some questions regarding the cosmetics provided in our bathrooms. I understand the general concept, and I have enough painting experience to perhaps figure some techniques out on my own. Except visual alterations to the face to create the appearance of a new identity is causing me some hesitations, because I've never had much desire to be different than how I was designed. I'm not certain what the end result is meant to be or how to begin.

I've noticed that each place we've gone has provided clothing of widely different styles to match the setting. And I've noticed that these makeup styles have a wide range of variety as well, not just by era. I think the overall approach is to create a look that is harmonious between the outfit and the face, but I admit I'm simply at a loss.

Any guidance or advice would be appreciated.

[Purple Block]
I want to thank our volunteers again. Even though our team has been absorbed by another, you still have our continued support in the upcoming challenges.

I also noticed that our block is at capacity, and we've had new people join us. I don't intend to bother anyone, but if anyone wants to make any introductions or ask any questions of me, feel free to do so.

[Androids]
I may have overestimated how many flowers I needed for these vases. If any of you are interested in the leftovers, I really wouldn't want them to go to waste.

So in between these fun little exercises (I'm using that term loosely, because if there's mud again, I'm staging a revolt) I'm considering the option of the little companion creatures. However, without Quentin here, I'm vaguely out of touch.

Who here can fill me in on some of the options to ensure I'm not making a mistake?

I have drawings of everyone covered in mud. This has been entertaining at least. You want yours? Offer me something.

Since everyone is suddenly so concerned with who sold out people for food. Here's the list. Might I remind everyone that the prison offered better, more consistent food and medicine than the ration boxes and for some of you it meant those who were Yulelagged did better than those of you who weren't.

Dolores Abernathy sold out Lucifer Morningstar
Rose O'Hara sold out Charlie Mills
Ava Starr sold out Peter Parker, Peggy Carter, Richie Tozier
Victor von Doom sold out Ronan Lynch
Kylo Ren sold out Lucifer Morningstar
Luther Hargreeves sold out Lucifer Morningstar, Klaus Hargreeves
Loki Laufeyson sold out Wade Wilson
Kobik sold out Opal
Five sold out Opal
Natalia Romanova sold out Meg McCaffey
Klaus Hargreeves sold out Peter Parker
Steve Rogers sold out Tony Stark
Peter Parker sold out Tony Stark
Markus sold out Peter Parker, Connor
Bucky Barnes sold out Steve Rogers

DAY THREE- EVENING CONNOR ✦ DOLORES FISHING DOCK RATING LOW? IN PROGRESS

( HERE )

I am searching for a dogsitter for the duration of my involvement with Survivor. His name is Sparky. You will not need to worry about feeding him, but he loves to play fetch and walks twice a day. I will provide his ball, leash, and blanket. He is allergen free, licks sockets, and can float and go through walls. He is current on his virus updates.

I would prefer you meet Sparky before agreeing to make sure it is a right fit. I can pay §15 per day for your services. Thank you.

[Adam + Ronan]
Opal mentioned she has fireflies she'd like to show me..?

[Markus]
I thought I might come visit you soon if you're not busy? You can show me that piano?

[Team Blues Clues]
Is our team name a reference to some pop culture icon I am unfamiliar with?

[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?

are people going to die in the knife fight?

[Dream Parents]

RONAN CAN I COME WITH YOU?
ADAM TELL HIM HE CANT
YOU CANT KERAH

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.

[Ritchie Tozier, Connor, Luther Hargreeves, Blue Sargent & Tony Stark]

Hey Folks,

I know we've all got our own social circles we've developed in this place, and more recently our attention has been pulled in a few directions, but I've noticed that you - and a few others - seem either invested in really figuring out what's brought us here, or otherwise trying to find the line between pushing back, and not making waves to keep everyone safe.

I'd like some input from a few of you, of course, but I was thinking of putting together a group that really focuses on trying to sort out what's behind everything that's happening here - I don't want the group to get too large or unwieldy, but if you think of a few people who ought to be involved, you can invite them in.

Figuring out what's coming, I think, also means maybe sometimes pushing back against what seemed to be expected of us. I'm not thinking like the Soviet-Christmas Tree-Takeover kind of pushback, but things a little more calculated and a lot more subtle.

What's everyone thinking?

WHO: Connor and Lee Sizemore
WHAT: A confrontation
WHEN: Day 1, Afternoon
WHERE: The Compound - Block Two
WARNINGS: Violence and swearing
STATUS: Complete


( I could have killed you but I'm not a weapon anymore. I choose not to be. )

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.
