Cameron Lakota & Waverley Merida After this Entrance to Block 5 Rating/Warnings: Low | None Complete | Log

( Maybe not literally, possibly figuratively, but he’d work that one out as he went. )

So literally just got here and I'm not sure if I should even ask what the fuck is going on, but at the same time knowledge is power, right?

I'm Cameron by the way.

Hey.

Has anyone surveyed these underwater tunnels?

[Bluesey]

Want to go scuba diving? I can teach you.

[Block One, minus Supreme Leader]

why is he the LEADER
IF NO ONE LIKES HIM
the knife fight was stupid
SO DUMB

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

( HERE )

[BLOCK ONE]

Given the results of last night’s selection process, I suppose I should introduce myself.

My name is Kylo Ren, and I have been selected as the leader of Block One. Unfortunately, it does not appear that the rank came with the ability to change the name of our Block, so we remain the “Angry Idiot Queens of the Dumpster Fire.” I hope you’re all proud of yourselves.

Before I arrived in this place, I was the Supreme Leader of the First Order, a government that rules most of my home galaxy. My predecessor and I grew the Order from a hermit state in the Unknown Regions into the dominant galactic power through a mix of voluntary annexation, alliances, and military victories. Having previously ruled over billions of people, I suspect I’ll do fine with the twenty-five of you.

[Poe Dameron]

I didn't see you after the fight. Or since. Where did you go?

It is interesting that whoever has chosen to keep us here allowed such amenities as an art studio. But I am wary of experimental settings that appear to have good features on the surface.

Bodega Cat has wares if you have coin. And only coin. Scritches, no matter how expertly administered, are not a valid form of currency. I'm definitely going to need some more money.

Because the Pet Store.

Help a guy out, new friends. Sell me on the coolest animal from your fandom universe.

This thing keeps getting weirder.

[Richie]

You and John aren't allergic to cats, are you?

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet - There's a pet store here.  Looking at adorable animals is a very nice change from horrifying pasts, scary futures and knife fights the general craziness of all of this. 

[Yuuri]

We still want to get a dog, right?  You should join me here and see them.  Unless you're busy practicing survivor skills?

( all animalness and no dream things. )

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.

Manfred Bernardo & Gale Hawthorne 27th Jan Block 1, The Onsen Rating/Warnings: Low | Swearing Log | Complete

( Gotta appreciate the quiet when you can )

[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?

These clothes we've been provided with are a poor excuse for humor.

Honestly, you would think a break would be in order, but it seems the universe has other plans. What is going on?

Oh for crying out loud. What planet is this?

[JIM + SPOCK]
What did you do?!

Marx wrote that "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." Simon Sebag Montefiore disagreed. He said that history is never repeated, but "it borrows, steals, echoes and commandeers the past to create a hybrid, something unique out of the ingredients of past and present.”

I suppose we won't know who was right until the end.

[Sharon Carter]

In the last experiment, we knew our scientists. We never knew what they wanted, but we knew who they were.

Here, at first, I think perhaps they changed this, because it compromise the integrity of the experiment. Because the mere fact of knowing that you are being observed changes your behavior. But then I think that there are other ways to study someone without them knowing that they are being studied. I think about us, and how we are not who we say we were when we arrived.

Do you suspect that any of our fellow participants are not who they say they are?
