Day 222 — Mandatory activity mingle
[ It's a wonderful, stormy day here in Squall Asylum and vacation time is officially over! Your gracious overlords have worked out a light itinerary for you today and they expect you to keep it.

Get in line to pick up your food rations for the day. Eat breakfast if you have time for it, or perhaps you'd rather skip this one time and save yourself the discomfort during the two hours of exercise that follow. Jogging, jumping jacks or perhaps impromptu team sports, whatever you end up doing you bet you'll come out exercised in the end!

Should you not want to participate... well. We have ways to make you join in. Anyone reluctant to get their heart rate up will get a helpful electric prod by one of the bots until they comply. Tough cookies.

Luckily you'll get a chance to wash off that sweat (hope you're not shy, the wash room can get crowded) before it's time for the silent game for an hour, followed by lunch. The day is not over yet though! There's still time for a couple of hours of hard labor tending to the crops, doing laundry or perhaps breaking bricks in the yard. To make sure none of the inmates are broken this is also the time for mandatory physical checkups — bots will guide you to the hospital. No ifs or buts. The violation of personal privacy is for your own good, we promise.

Isn't it nice, being in prison? ]

((ooc: This mingle takes place during all of day 222. A bullet-point for of the itinerary can be found here, where we also encourage you to direct any questions. Event info is here if you need it. ))

[ nikola opting out of both breakfast and participating in this ridiculous mandatory exercise nonsense wasn't surprising. he wasn't a crowds person or athletic by any means not (secretly) vampiric in nature. what was surprising, was how that shock those bots gave him had actually hurt. so much that he deliberately put himself in the position to receive another jolt, just to see if the pain was real or imagined. it's been well over a century since electricity of any kind has caused pain instead of a mild, comforting tingling sensation (if anything at all). there was a time when he'd fallen asleep out of boredom and disenchantment with edison's electric chair — while sitting in the damned thing! and now a simple little electrical prod, something that shouldn't even be a blip on his radar, stings. hell, it smarts.

(no pun intended.)

he wants out. screw this place. forget the well timed vacation from a directionless point in his life. this was not acceptable. ]

And the clock struck thirteen... [ thus his free period was spent drawing equations in the sand and making 1984 references. ]

	[ Dirk didn't know this guy, but he'd noticed him trying to opt out of the mandatory exercises, and appreciated the vicarious warning he'd provided. It's only by chance that he happens to wander by him during the free period and overhear him. ] This look like a bright, cold day in April to you, bro? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he doesn't answer for a moment, adding on to the equations he's written in the sand. whether he's doing this as a means of working out a solution to something new dome related or just dabbling as a means of giving himself something faux worthwhile to do is yet to be seen. ] Might as well be. Certainly Orwellian enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Yeah Dirk has no idea what any of those scribbles mean. He stares for a second, trying to decipher them, before realizing that they're math symbols and not words, then rubs at his eyes. He's pretty tired. ] Hey, at least we've got our opinions. For now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ quantum physics. he finds it soothing. ] Yes, well, only time will tell how long we're allowed to keep those. Big Brother may demand mandatory conformance come tomorrow morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That doesn't even sound that outlandish. Even Dirk's oft-repeated mantra of I need to find some way out of this shithole is starting to sound pretty worn-out to him, though. ] So what's with the math? Tryin' to remind yourself that two and two don't equal five? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ a way out is precisely what nikola's trying to do. and yes, that involves math. quantum theory is a messy, complicated matter. while the likes of adam worth might've been okay with tampering with time, he wasn't as okay with with dabbling in that are of science as his eccentricity (no pun intended) may lead people to believe.

the look he gives the boy is one of annoyance. of course he's not recognized. he should really be used to this by now... ]

I'm a physicist and this is basic building blocks of quantum theory. You do the math. [ pun totally intended. ]

	[Peter grins like a dork and shrugs. He doesn't run into many high school students who know who Schrödinger even is.] Maybe I just don't like cats? [It's clearly a joke and not something he's serious about. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
