Involuntary RPG Journal Entries

I know what IVI is telling the media.

They're saying that we've been in contact with VR, that's why they cut off communication in the first place, and that even with it down we managed to plan this bloody uprising with them. Everything they've done has been because they thought we were talking to VR, the crack down on sending us to solitary, everything. Or it looks like it anyway, as who I talked to wasn't really clear on that point and I didn't have time to ask twenty questions.

They're telling everyone that we started this and they're only acting in self defence, that everything they've done is a reaction to what we're doing to them. The bomb was a fucking 'extreme measure' in response to guards being killed.

She It was also confirmed that they can kill us now, without us getting any kind of a trial. I think we knew this already, but I'm basically just trying to tell you everything that I was told.

I think that's it.

Sorry for Friday, everybody. Next time I get the flu, I think I'll just stay in bed for the week and avoid anything more powerful than a couple of paracetamol.

Just stop asking each other questions and the over sharing should hopefully stop.

I'm REALLY sorry about this.

[Stephen]

I'm hiding out at yours until this stops because I can't turn it off and it turns out the entire school is affected and I need somewhere with a locked door where I don't need to talk to people.

( Not cut IC )

There's only one choice for Pope.

[Pad]

Thanks for apologising, it means a lot.

You doing okay?

Do I need to warn Hunter about you wanting to deck him or are you over that?

What is wrong with all of you?!

Can't you go a week without fighting each other?

Hyperrealism in the early hours is not a good idea. I can't imagine why I thought it was.

[filter: lydie]

Are you planning anything for Saturday?

[filter: shannon]

Pub tonight? You can have my tickets if you promise there'll be singing again.

Training was I UGH

Apparently it's snowed back home and Munster got the worst of it, which means that it probably got about two centimetres and everything ground to a fecking bloody halt. Typical Irish planning and all that. I do wish I had pictures, the village must look pretty covered in a light dusting of snow, but dad's useless with a camera.

Made me feel a wee bit homesick though.

And great I'm talking about the fucking weather in a country I'm not even in.

[Stephen]

So I might've accidentally used my power on Damien yesterday. Is it wrong to freak out about not freaking out?

[Lydie, Val, Doria, Savannah, Moa and Pad.]

Do you guys know what do people do for birthdays around here? Hypothetically speaking.

[filter: ladies of the fifth floor (kelly, shannon, camela, leigh, whitney, lydie, lena, sunny, qamar) & mette's friends]

We know that Mette isn't one for big centre of attention things, but we get so few things to celebrate that I don't want this to pass. Since we don't have class, I'm going to suggest Thursday late afternoon that we do a little get together. What she does want to do is keep testing her power - so I'm suggesting we get together for snacks, drinks and a bunch of lying based games for a couple of hours. Less of a giant focus on her and she still gets to have fun.

[filter: mette]

Keep Thursday afternoon free.

[filter: leigh]

Shenanigans reminded me that I found the funniest thing online. Your type of underwear?

I don't think there's anything to say that hasn't already been said.

[Stephen]

I love you. I'm sorry for being angry even though, I just wish you were here. I know that's not fair but it's true. I miss you so much.

[Parakeets]

Do you know if there's anything we should be doing - for Erik, I mean.

Lottie, sweetheart, do you need anything?

[Val, Doria and Lydie]

You girls okay?

If anyone in the American safe house wants some coffee, I'm about to take a break and make some. Let me know how you take it and I'll bring it over.

[Lydie, Val, Doria, and Moa]

Everything okay in Europe/IVI?

[American Interrogation Team]

What do you think the next interrogation one will be like?

Good things about being away from IVI:

Freedom
Pubs
I no longer smell like sunscreen and I'm not worried about getting sunburnt.
And there's the obvious: No longer being at IVI

Anyone got anything to add?

[Pad]

Keeping out of trouble without me around?

[Lydie]

Still on for New Years? And how are things going with Jonas and Mike?

Is anyone else going somewhere other than home over break? Because I'm finding I really don't have any winter clothes. I'm going to get so fed up of wearing the same thing all the time because I didn't bring my winter wardrobe to Australia.

Still, I can't wait to get out of here for a while. It'll be nice to have some freedom.

Training and classes, looks like we're back to the monotony of life at IVI.

[Stephen]

Can I tell you something here that'll probably make you really disappointed in me so I don't actually want to tell you to your face?

[Lydie]

Everything okay? I haven't seen or heard from you in days.

It's been said before, but last night was brilliant. I'm glad I could play a small role in helping things take a turn for the terrifying. Everyone looked really good, and I think most of us had a good time. And thank you, Savannah, for making it possible, you did a grand job!

I just wish IVI would give us today off to recover.

[Filtered: Stephen]

Are you Would now be a bad time to make a metaphor joke?

Now this is a bit messed up. I think I preferred it when everyone was being idjits talking about the vilf lists or whatever the gossip of the day was.

This is just scary in a different way to the possibility of being kidnapped. I'm just not sure which is scarier worse.

[Stephen]

What do you think about it?

They're kidnapping Vols from schools now? Is this They said we'd be safe That's horrible. And terrifying. I hope they find them soon. At least it wasn't HPS, although that means there's another group out there who wants us kidnapped and possibly dead. Okay, that didn't make me feel better.

I swear I feel like I still have mashed potato in my hair even though I've washed it three times since lunch and know there isn't any left. My hair is going to frizz like crazy tomorrow. Should be the least of my worries compared to what happened

I'm going to watch Casablanca, sniffle into a pillow and pretend the outside world and frizzy hair don't exist.

[Filtered to: Myra, Saraswati, Moa, Carmella, Chelsea, female Parakeets, and any other girls that Shannon's friendly with that I may have forgotten.]

Boys are incredibly confusing. Or maybe I just have no idea what to do. That is more likely, to be fair.

Sorry. Context. I had breakfast with Stephen this morning and there was the usual chitchat that I won't bore you with, and then he confessed that he liked me. Liked me, liked me. Although having written that, I feel like a 14 year old. Now, I like him, but I'm scared I'm not sure what to do. It's not like we can go on dates in this place and it's possible that I'd just be making him tell the truth all the time.

Oh Jesus, what if I forced him into telling me and he didn't want to and now he hates me?

I feel like such an idiot right now.

[Filtered to Stephen]

Did you mean to tell me that this morning?

Do you think IVI would let us have a bonfire for Halloween, if we promised not to try to burn the place to the ground? Actually, scrap that, there's no fecking way they'd allow that, is there? Could we at least try for Jack O'Lanterns? I may try to whip together some Colcannon for us Irish, if anyone wants it? It's not a favourite dish, but I don't hate it.

The cat's out of the bag, I might happen to like Halloween. Although I'm drawing a blank on the costume. I may try to sew something together if I can figure out what I want to do. Failing that, I'll throw something together at the last minute and hope for the best.

Isn't it a bit odd we're planning this so far in advance?

For fecks sake What I needed today was to get soaked on my way to class. Thanks. That's just fecking grand.

Changing the subject, is everyone planning on going back home for Christmas or are you taking the opportunity to travel? I know it's a long way off but I was just curious about what everyone was planning on doing.

Ha! Yes! :D

Um. Sorry, Julieta, but I couldn't resist.

[Parakeets]

I got an egg. I'm not sure if it's enough to get us to win as I haven't been keeping score, but hopefully it helped.

And little Eggbert is safe and sound. Don't worry.
