The Exam: IC Community

I realize that some of you may not be interested in supporting a rebellion for a variety of reasons, be it the potential cost to you personally, the fear of retaliation, or the fact that you rolled on a bunch of us and you don't want us all to find out. And ind i'm not here to convince you. Your decisions are your own.

But for those of you who aren't interested in slowly starving to death in a Soviet Christmas Prison, I have a plan.

I think we've all noticed by now that most of the weapons we've been able to gather have been glorified gardening supplies. But those of us who've been to the yulelag all know that the prison has a pretty massive cache of axes and sharpeners. I think the move here is for as many of us as possible to go where the weapons are, and fight our way out.

Would all of you be interested in learning the names of the informants?

You know, nobody would have to break anyone out of prison if there weren't people putting them in there in the first place.

While it's a legitimate strategy to ensure getting food and resetting to green status if you time it with the rations (which is what I chose to do) it's clear some people are just doing it to be petty jerks. Peter did nothing to any of you.

Anyway, if you're desperate and want to take advantage of the window of opportunity, getting yourself yulelagged by the end of today would let you get out for the next delivery. And maybe get a friend that's also in a lower status to do it, so you both benefit. Play rock paper scissors or something if you have to, I really don't care right now.

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.

My arms are really tired.

Peter Parker gets arrested? Seriously? What sort of fucked up shitty place is this, anyway?

[Filtered to friends of Peter Parker and Tony Stark]

I don't know who all of you are. I'm MJ. A friend of Peter's. So, are we doing something? Does anyone need help?

Mr. Tony is really sick and Peter got taken away. I wanna find a medicine but I gotta make more bears all day and I left Teddy at home but he’s not a real doctor just pretend so it doesn’t help none. But now who’s gonna open the veggie jar for dinner?

This game is mean.

I don't know much about this place, but I can guess that the border is the last place you want to act up.

Don't give anyone a reason to shoot you, or they will.

I'm wondering if one of you may have a solution to my now limited battery power? This place is uncomfortable.

Yellow keys, Green keys -- What do your rations look like? I think Yellow keys got less.

ronan!
adam!

i got a yellow key

Time for some fucking Marco Polo I guess. Parrish? You better not have left me to deal with this communist garbage without you. Where is everybody? Any of you assholes read Russian or Bulgarian or whatever the fuck these cans are in? This shit reminds me of K

[*OOC: If they've had friendly (for Ronan) interactions, you're probably good to go here, but feel free to ping me if you're not confident.]

The room keys. Mine is green. Are these teams again? What colour is everyone? I'm not sure I understand it.

For the Glory of Kolechia and Arstotzka. Welcome.

I expect to see you all at factory tomorrow for your work assignments. But if you have question, now would be good time to ask it.

Billy.

The universe broke again.

Can you reset it? It doesn't work when I do it.

There's no place like home.

When the Open Mic begins to slow down, characters begin to make their exit. But when they leave Rose Apothecary, instead of reaching the street, they walk right into a hallway. They cannot return to the party, and one by one they must choose: Room 3, or Exit.

Feel Free to include a narrative about your character's choice on this post.

Hey Everyone :)

My amazing partner in business and in life who would never make me do anything I didn't want to do because I'm so good at compromise had the brilliant idea of throwing a putting together an Open Mic night this evening at the store.

It's so great that he absolutely planned this in advance and isn't asking me to phone in a half-dozen favours to our suppliers to get wine and cheese for an event he certainly didn't pitch to me literally over this morning's breakfast scones. So fun.

As a thank you for staying at the Rosebud Motel, please show us your room key to get two complimentary drink tickets (Drinking age is 19, so if you aren't 19, you'll get to sample our new non-alcoholic sparkling cider)

It would be really great if you could all stop in, shop in, or otherwise show your support for local businesses as a thank you and an apology for all of the weird things inflicted on us this week. I'm not going to say attendance isn't mandatory or anything, just that not attending wouldn't be a good look for anyone.

Patrick, that adorable business partner of mine who would never drop an intense last-minute idea on me in a million years, would appreciate if people would sign up with me if they'd like a spot in the Open Mic line-up.
