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. ))

[Peter shrugs and crouches down next to Nikola.]

I wouldn't really know. No pets at home. I've always thought spiders were cool though.

[Peter is just barely holding himself together, itching to reach out and add to the equation that Tesla is working on, but he's pretty sure that's not only disrespectful but rude.]

I kind of feel like that now. Like we're hovering in that place where anything can be. I mean they say time--time stands still back home or---or moves differently and we're sealed up inside that box---I know there wasn't a literal box. I mean...I'm not--I'm not stupid or anything it's just...ho-how I feel.

I had a cat when I was a child back in Smiljan. Haven't had any since. [ because the pigeons and the things helen keeps locked up in the shoe don't really count. ]

Slow down before you hurt yourself there, sonny. [ nikola even reaches out to pat peter semi-condescendingly on the arm. it's his way. ask will or henry and they'll confirm that tesla's just being tesla. (only helen could disagree with that, as she alone ~~john never counts~~ remembers him before history made him bitter.) ]

[Definitely don't count.

Peter has been bullied most of his life. It's not that he doesn't get the almost condescending vibe to things, but it just doesn't bother him. Besides, Tesla has it exactly right. Peter's brain goes faster than his mouth can possibly keep up so his words come out a mess when he gets nervous. When he's calm and cool, it all generally comes out well. He makes more sense of his brain at least.]

Yeah. That--that happens. My brain and my mouth sort of...don't get along.

	I know the feeling. Even worse when your brain's thinking one language and your mouth is speaking another. [ he might be speaking english, but he still thinks in his native serbian. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I--I can sorta imagine. I mean...I don't--English is pretty much the only language I speak and in the morning...that's--that's kind of debatable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He comes from a generation that has a smart phone attached to their hips. There's even a place in his suit to keep it. He digs it out of his pocket and holds it up, wiggling it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ nikola seizes it, tossing it across the way into the grass. don't worry, he'll pick it up later. right now, he needs that thing and its built in translator to be over yonder in order to make his point. ]

Za mamac ribe ujedno: da li će se hraniti ništa drugo, to će hraniti svoju osvetu. Er hat mich blamiert und behindert mich eine halbe million, lachte über meine verluste, auf meine gewinne verspottet, verachtet mein volk, meine vereitelt schnäppchen, gekühlt, meine freunde, meine feinde gehetzt, und was seine vernunft? Zsidó vagyok. Avagy nem a zsidó szeme? Kinek nem zsidó kéz, szervek, méretek, érzékek, érzelmek, szenvedélyek? Fed se stejným jídlem, zranil se stejnými zbraněmi, a to za stejných nemocí, zhojení stejnými prostředky, zahřeje a chlazena stejným zimě iv létě, jako křesťana? Si vous nous piquez, ne saignons-nous pas? Se ci fate il solletico, non ridiamo? Si venenum nobis, et a nobis non esse moriturum? Aura hama mēṁ, kyā hama nahīṁ badalā tō āpa galata hai? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.

[Peter isn't that worried about his device, but he is a little surprised when Nikola grabs it and tosses it. He's giving him a 'what was that for' look when he starts speaking and then it becomes a lot more clear. He rubs the back of his neck and scrubs a hand through his hair.]

I got the last part of that and uhm....part of it was French? Maybe some German. Outside of that...I've got--got nothing.

	That was a selection of the Merchant of Venice. Act 3, Scene 1, in Serbian, German, Hungarian, Czech, French, Italian, Latin, Hindi, and of course, English. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Some people just have a gift for it. [He nods a little.] But...you've probably never really run into anything hard. [What he means is everything is probably pretty easy for you, Tesla. You're a genius.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ a shrug, as if he's agreeing -- but the truth is, he has. praxian technology was damn near confounding, and it took him days to crack that holographic piñata of a map. and this place... well, he understood the principal of it, but he suspected it would be much like the technology from hollow earth: humbling and frustrating all at the same time. ]

Something like that.

	[Peter smirks at that, shaking his head as he shoves his retrieved device back into his pocket.] The rest of us mere mortals have to rely on devices and one language. (Reply to this) (Parent)
