The Exam: IC Community

[FILTERED TO CONNOR]

Are you Your block apparently doesn't deserve you. I'd ask you to come live with us, but I think we're all full now. Not that either of us really requires a bed. You can share lurk in my room anytime you like?

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.

Survivor bingo Day 1

DOLORES + MARKUS
LOW | IN PROGRESS

( Butterfly garden )

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.

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.

[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?

Alright, that last post is a mess and my brain can't handle it right now. Let's sort this out by voting? Great!

TEAM NAME - choose one
Byzantium
Oh la la baguette

TEAM LEADER - choose one
Dolores
Clarke

For volunteers we currently have: Gansey, Emma and myself but I am not married to the idea if someone else is really eager to step up or doesn't trust me while I'm detoxing.

What is the leader going to lead? We don't know. Could be a knife fight, could be the adventure in the next room, could be a hike through a forest we don't yet know exists here. Who can tell?

What are you volunteering for? Maybe as a volcanic sacrifice? Maybe to complete a task? Maybe to fight off more Krampus demons? I really can't say and I make no promises.

Huh. Okay. Not in Kansas anymore am I, Dorothy?

Still got the pack though, so, score.

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?

I have something that may be of interest to you. I was curious if you have received anything from... our world as well.

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?

[Blue + Ronan]
I can go looking for your friend, Noah, if you would like?

[Markus]
Where are you? Are you safe?

[Dolores]
Have you gotten to safety yet?

Who: Gale & Markus
What: Markus is out looking for people and finds Gale, who was scavenging for fresh water supplies
When: Day 5, during surprise!storm
Where: One of the poolside bars
Rating: E for Electrocuted Android
Status: Complete

( rain was dropping, thunder and lightning )

Might I inquire as to whether or not someone has seen Lee Sizemore? I fear he may have gotten stuck out in the storm, but if he is with someone then that would be better.

Oi, right. Holiday's over. We've got a big bloody storm incoming and we need to do more than board up the windows and hope for the best. Anybody got fancy tricks enough to keep this main building safe and intact? Now's the time to cough up whatever you've got that'll help.

Anybody who hasn't got that kind of power up their sleeves, now's the time to start rounding up emergency supplies and squirreling 'em down in the basement. We were mostly fucked for teamwork in Soviet Candyland, so maybe we do a better showing this time out.

The sunrise here is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's a relief I can't sunburn, because I can't stand the smell of this stuff.

But I didn't know you could get sand in so many places.

[Markus]
I thought you might appreciate if I check in. I'm fine.

I was hoping we could do something more fun later? You mentioned the piano before, if that's still an offer. And I've seen others mention karaoke.

[Maeve]
It appears we have a lot of catching up to do.

But whatever happened back there, in Sweetwater, I'm glad you managed to find the door. We all deserved a way out. Even if you brought one of them with.

[Lucifer]
I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I'm glad you didn't have to... be there last night. But I'm fixed now. That's the important part.

Were you still thinking of leaving?

[Ash]
Meet me at the beach? I have a bucket and a shovel. I think they're intended for ice. But I have better ideas.

This is not what I expected the afterlife to be like. I thought it would be really different, like some other world. It's good though. The beach is an amazing surprise. I hadn't been outside in so long

I just wanted to see all the people I'd lost again. Like my best friend.  Or my mom. and dad   Is there a way to find them here? 

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.

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

Do you know if saltwater would have a negative effect on our biocomponents? It never came up back home, but I'm told swimming can be relaxing?
