[PM to Ford]
Would it be weird if we actually did set up a talent show, or maybe the two of us could set up like a little holiday shindig and you and I can do some holiday music and duets? I could use a good musical review. Or just an audience.

[PM to Ravi]
Hi! Just wanted to check in again, see if you needed anything from the kitchen.

[PM to Benny, Arlo, and Anja]
Hi! I haven't set up anything for the feytouched in a while, maybe even since before any of you got here! Would any of you guys like to have a gathering any time soon? Not today, just in the future.

[PM to Theodore]
Do you think me trying to keep the fey court going is silly? I've slacked on it, and I asked the current crop of feytouched if they'd like to get together but I worry that I'm the only one who's going to be into it, and also that as soon as we meet they're all going to get removed because that seems to keep happening.

[PM to Gable]
Hi! I just wanted to thank you again for getting me to my room the other night. I appreciate it.

So much for putting together a breakfast feast for people

Hope people are enjoying the all you can eat pancakes. What are your thoughts on gingerbread houses?

Yesterday, we revealed that two of your own had set an uncontrolled fire in town, potentially endangering the entire building. Several of you expressed displeasure with this, calling it thoughtless and irresponsible. Our question today is: should Ford and Maya be punished for their actions? Why or why not?

yes. and not just because it made it difficult and painful for me to breathe. though it did. its because having grown up in an isolated community, kinda like this, if i had threatened everyone by setting an uncontained fire or in some other way i would have faced harsh consequences. you might be hurting, but that does not give you the right to hurt others. because that just makes you a bully.

Who else do you feel deserves to be punished and why?
i thought that was answered above. ow anyone who bullies others

Who do you feel deserves to be rewarded and why?
gwen. she tries very hard to make sure people are included and i havent been very good about responding.

im sorry i think i broke electrocuted the coffee maker this morning. i tried to fix it but i think i made it worse.

This seems like a right nice way to cause a revolt inside the tower.

I’d have to say someone I don’t really know, but it’s still not fair, but I’d choose Anja.

morgan.

Morgan. And bring back Cecilia.

friends was fun i guess but i was wondering if anyone knows any good documentaries to watch?

i know we have signups for the clinic, but do we have sign ups for dinner? it seems unfair to expect the same people to cook all the time. marco cooked for everyone a few days ago and im happy to follow his example!

is anyone having an issue with doors taking you places you dont mean to go? i went out for a walk this morning and tried returning to my room. only to end up in a room of heads? and then the pool its real fancy to have a pool inside. finally found my room, but it took a few tries. or is it just me?

Now that we have the proper supplies, I'd like everyone to consider coming down to the clinic and donating blood in case of an emergency.

There have been a few points in time in which we weren't able to heal by magical means, even with vampire blood. I hope it would never come to it, but in the event that we were in such a period and someone was injured badly enough to need blood, having a supply of your own blood on hand is the absolute best case scenario.

I'm on shift at the clinic from 8a-2p today, feel free to drop in if that's something you're willing to do. If you'd rather I come to you so you can donate in your own room, I'm willing to do that too. Just drop me a line.

Hello! I'm keeping this public because I don't want to freak out anyone who only just learned htey were feytouched by PMing them, but hello fellow feytouched! I'm Gwen, and I want to introduce myself to you all because you're all new! I'm the only one who has been here for a while who is still feytouched. How strange and sad, but also, I'm very excited to meet all of you in this new group!

I'd love to meet you all in person! I occasionally hold little gatherings of feytouched people with tea and snacks and drinks, where we can all chat and learn what being feytouched means to each other. I call it my Court of Fey, even though it's not really a court so much as it is just a little gathering. Would you all like to get together and talk about feytouched stuff? I can help you learn fun tricks to do with your glamours, and we can just meet and become friends!

Would any of you be interested in that?

what are we even supposed to ask for? this is the nicest place i've ever stayed are you sure there's no chores needing done and the library is practically across the street. im sorry i couldnt find any books about vampires. i looked though! though i couldnt tell how books were supposed to be organized

are we sure its okay if we borrow them?

We've had an influx of newcomers over the past few days, and I generally try to catch everyone's first post and offer some of the basics, but I wanted to re-address something here.

We are 43 days into captivity. A handful of us woke up in this place on what was day 1 and went through figuring things out as we went. Some days they take people out, some days they put new people in, and sometimes people that disappeared come back. Those that have come back have different stories of where they were in the time between.

The majority of us We've tried to make the best of the situation, rally together, and establish some sense of order. There are house rules, posted in the kitchen, and it's been agreed that major infractions - such as harming someone else here - will be discussed as a group and voted upon, possibly resulting in chore duty or room arrest.

That's not what I want to talk about. Also in the kitchen, you'll see a clinic sign-up sheet. In the event of an emergency, it's been too unreliable to use the network to reach out for help. Today is the first day anyone has had mobile network access, and I really hope in time that's something everybody will have. In the meantime, we have a clinic, and keeping it going is very important.

I've drawn and posted floor maps of the tower in every foyer near the elevator. You'll see on p3 there is a room marked south lounge/clinic. That's the room we've utilized for clinic space. We try to have someone there at all times in case of emergency. We are short on volunteers, and we always need them. Ideally, we'd have two people there at all times for things like bathroom breaks. Sabina does come in and bring food to people on shift, or stay there for a few minutes so someone can use the bathroom if they're there alone, but we always, always, always need more. Help is so dearly appreciated.

We keep as many medical supplies there as we can (and you'll notice on the maps I've also marked locations of first aid kits and fire extinguishers), including vampire blood for major emergency healing. Vampire blood donations, again, are always welcome and deeply appreciated. We also have sign-up sheets in the clinic for those willing to donate blood to feed vampires (which can be done in a variety of means, whatever the donor is comfortable with).

You do not necessarily have to have first aid skills to volunteer at the clinic, but we are more than happy to teach anyone who wants to learn them - at any time. Just reach out. Any medical problems you may have, please reach out, no matter how minor.

And here's the big one: if there is anyone who got a phone today who would be willing to donate it as a clinic phone, to be used by anyone on a shift, that would be absolutely amazing. There is no phone in there, and right now we have to run on knowing that people will come to us if they can, or be brought to us. It would be wonderful if we can make that point of contact easier.

Thank you for reading this, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

I don't appreciate being called anything other than human. As far as I'm concerned we all are. Good job at trying to rile us up, but I don't have the energy to rise to the bait.

I need to feel useful. I'm a hairdresser in the outside world, and some of us have been here a while. There's a barbershop in town, and I recently had the chance to really look it over. I could set up shop there once in a while, if anyone wants. I just want to spend more time out of this tower

Now the nerds have numbers of what the fuck everyone is. Congratulations. New people - watch out for the pie faced Asian chick. She’s a telepath with no fucking privacy filters so she will read your brain and spit back at you with her stupid gash of a mouth. Also watch out for people who ask too many questions or want to know all you’re info. It won’t help you get out of here. We’re all stuck until we’re not. Learn to deal with it. I’m outta advice.

Vamps, you’re down at least one. Tanner’s gone.

Gonna melt my brain with drugs because I fucking can so don’t bother me with your bullshit.

[PM to Marco]
Except you. Let’s get fucking high on gummies and forget this fucking place for a minute. Bring over your favorite pillow if you want, but I don’t really feel like leaving my room today.

[OOC: Yes, Arlo has been trying for over 3 hours to get out of his room]
