The Exam: IC Community

I wanted to congratulate our volunteers on their first place win today, and say again that we all really appreciate your efforts. If there's anything you need while you rest up for tomorrow, let me know?

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.

Oh for crying out loud. What planet is this?

[JIM + SPOCK]
What did you do?!

Just over a week ago, I found myself on a beach I didn't know, surrounded by people I'd mostly never met, wondering how the hell I could even be alive. Now that I've had a glimpse of what this place is like, whatever and wherever it truly is, it still beats the alternative.

I suppose there's nothing else to do than face whatever future awaits us even as I can see some of you find it more suspect than others. For myself, I hope to take lessons I learned in my last life and make something of this one while I have the chance.

Lee Sizemore, by the way. I think it's good to be here.

So while we're all getting names and sectioning off into tribes with leaders, have we stopped to ask why?

Cuz looking back on the last motel and soviet rooms, I'm not sure we've really benefited from blind obedience.

Ok. So that was one mysterious door, and I definitely just walked through it. Where am I exactly? And what are the chances of one of these fancy rugs being a flying carpet?

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.

Posh setup. I'd be a bit impressed if we weren't all penned up in separate cages.

[Luke]

Heard about your near miss with the drowning, mate. Wanted to apologise for it, I should've kept a better look out. You all right now?

I'm in this same block of rooms, you need anything. Just give a shout, yeah?

This is one hell of a concussion.

When did I get the concussion?

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. :)))))))

Well, I can certainly say I don't recall our living arrangements looking like this previously. The aesthetic is something I couldn't have thought up on my own. The masks are definitely something and someone considered it was a reasonable design process to put a hole in the middle of the room.

Does this happen here often? Or is this just the result of the storm?

Finding a place to sleep was not my first priority when I arrived during the storm. Now that it's calmer, I thought maybe I should figure out my rooming situation. But these bedrooms are unusual for a resort. Were they always this way?

The sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore. The Chapman light-house, a three-legged thing erect on a mud-flat, shone strongly. Lights of ships moved in the fairway—a great stir of lights going up and going down. And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.

“And this also,” said Marlow suddenly, “has been one of the dark places of the earth.”

This seems a bad time for homework assignments. I do not understand the purpose of the quiz either, there was no results page provided.

My signal must be experiencing interference from the storm and I am uncertain of my GPS coordinates. Has anyone seen my father? We somehow got separated and I am unable to connect to his network. I'm afraid the lightning might have...

Nobody is out there in this, are they?
