The Exam: IC Community

If anyone else comes across a bunch of mushrooms, you should know that they're not so much "edible" as they are "incendiary."

I found something strange under one of the benches in the cafe last night. Does this belong to anyone:

( ??? )

It might just be a part of the compound or something, I'm not sure. I've sat in this booth before and I'd swear it wasn't there...

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

There's something we need to talk about.

I sincerely hope that we're using the Survivor rules are the TV Show. Because if this is a fight to the death, I'm pretty sure we already know which block is going to win it.

[Steve Rogers]

I'd hate for this to be misconstrued as an indication that I'm concerned, or anything.

But are you all right?

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.

Hey Folks,

I know we've all got our own social circles we've developed in this place, and more recently our attention has been pulled in a few directions, but I've noticed that you - and a few others - seem either invested in really figuring out what's brought us here, or otherwise trying to find the line between pushing back, and not making waves to keep everyone safe.

I'd like some input from a few of you, of course, but I was thinking of putting together a group that really focuses on trying to sort out what's behind everything that's happening here - I don't want the group to get too large or unwieldy, but if you think of a few people who ought to be involved, you can invite them in.

Figuring out what's coming, I think, also means maybe sometimes pushing back against what seemed to be expected of us. I'm not thinking like the Soviet-Christmas Tree-Takeover kind of pushback, but things a little more calculated and a lot more subtle.

What's everyone thinking?

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?

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

Still got the pack though, so, score.

Has anyone seen any rats yet? I'm hoping we don't get a repeat of what happened before when the interior landscape looked like this...

IM OUTSID E BUT DON WORRY IM STICKY HELP ERY1 ELSE 1ST

How sure are we that that new puzzle isn't just a tweet from Cher?

I'm starting to feel more and more like I'm stuck on some giant Dejarik board.

[Kylo]

Are you done being a pissbaby?
Did you make your choices - with that quiz?

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 realize that some of you may not be interested in supporting a rebellion for a variety of reasons, be it the potential cost to you personally, the fear of retaliation, or the fact that you rolled on a bunch of us and you don't want us all to find out. And ind i'm not here to convince you. Your decisions are your own.

But for those of you who aren't interested in slowly starving to death in a Soviet Christmas Prison, I have a plan.

I think we've all noticed by now that most of the weapons we've been able to gather have been glorified gardening supplies. But those of us who've been to the yulelag all know that the prison has a pretty massive cache of axes and sharpeners. I think the move here is for as many of us as possible to go where the weapons are, and fight our way out.

You've got to be fucking

Well, the communists kidnapped Peter.

Again.
