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. ))

	[ A laugh. ] If you say so. So what's that equation, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius 2013-06-09 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Schrödinger. It's a partial differential equation that describes how the quantum state of physical systems change with time. Newton, Euler-Langrange, Hamilton, blah, blah, blah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fascinating. [ He's done enough history reading to recognize the names, but yeah, that totally went over his head. He literally yawns, but more because he's so exhausted. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ nikola squints at the boy, sighs. ] You have no idea who I am, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ this sigh is more of a huff than anything else. ] The name's Tesla. Doctor Tesla to you, sonny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-06-09 05:55 am UTC (link)
	[ He blinks, then considers that for a second. ] Nah, still got no idea who you are. The only Tesla I'm aware of died six years before 1984 was published. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hashtag: Faked Death Problems. [ because he's somehow the only member of the five who fully acclimated himself to the world as it changed around him. which isn't all that surprising, being that he's always been a man ahead of his time, and a futurist at that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That's pretty outlandish, but Dirk lives and breathes outlandish. So you know what? Yeah, why not. Not that he'd be surprised if this turned out to be a lie, but he sees no reason to deny the claim right now. ] Heh, congrats on fooling history. And sorry the death ray never worked out.

[ ...nikola is unsure of what to make of this easy acceptance of his faked death, especially with the absence of questions in relation to why he still looks like he's in his 30s when he's well over 150, but ultimately decides to roll with it. this conversation isn't boring him to death, so that's something. ]

Yes, well, in hindsight, it probably wasn't all that good of an idea to plan on handing over the blue prints to every major world power in the hopes that it would encourage peace.

	Not really. Naivete on that level is somewhat charming, though, in theory. [ C.f. Dirk's boyfriend. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ a shrug. on better days, he'd take that as a full on insult, but he's not feeling as up to arguing with people as he usually is. even more of a sign of how much he hates it here. ] I was young, and still had faith in humanity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-06-09 06:42 am UTC (link)
	At least you've learned better. [ He sways a little, putting a hand to his forehead. God he's tired. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ a snort, a chuckle. yeah. learned better. that's a matter of interpretation, and helen would likely be shaking her head at him if she were present. ...he looks up, scans the crowd, irritated that he can't latch onto her scent and follow it to her like he should be able to. damn these wardens and their insistence that they remain neutered and powerless.

his attention shifts back to the boy when he sways, nikola patting a spot on the sand beside him. ] Sit.

	[ Ah, right. Sitting. That might be a good idea. He's just gonna. Sit. A few feet away from Nikola, since he might be tired but his aloofness has not been impaired. ] Fuck this place. Ain't never been this tired this early in the evening before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius 2013-06-10 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Take a nap. Might not seem like the most ideal solution, but there's not much else we can do about it. Red Bull's in short supply. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-06-12 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Not a terrible idea. [ He rubs at his eyes. What he wouldn't give for his sunglasses right now. ] Maybe in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sooner would be better than later, my friend. Unless you plan on passing out from exhaustion, then by all means -- in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-06-13 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	...point. Yeah. Okay. I'll do that, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius 2013-06-16 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Good boy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
