The Exam: IC Community

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.

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.

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.

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

( Every path she had attempted seemed to get cut short with failure, and she felt like she was rapidly running out of options and people to turn to. )

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?

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 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.

( 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.

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?

I've noticed there is a church here, but I'm not overly familiar with human belief systems aside from a few general preferences. Would anyone be willing to explain theirs?

[general reminder that character beliefs =/= writer beliefs. Connor is just a curious android!]

I need help identifying a man I spoke to yesterday, out on the beach. I think we have something important to discuss, but...

My memory is faulty. I'd like to apologize to anyone who may know me. Lucifer said I have friends here. But I'm sorry, none of this makes much sense.

[Filter to Maeve]
I found information on how to get out of here, in case you were looking to get back to Sweetwater.

( Analysis. )

Well, isn't this an interesting place. Quite different than what I'm used to. Hello, everyone. My name is Maeve. I'm surprised they still haven't wiped my memory. What world is this? Please tell me a little about yourselves and this place if you are willing or able.
