Day 296 — Real MarinaNova — Central Core Awakening
[The last thing you remember is walking through a glowing door. Whether that was a good decision or a bad one is going to depend heavily on how claustrophobic you are, because right now you are fully encased in a very streamlined, sophisticated pod. It is regulating your body temperature, monitoring your vital signs, administering nutrition and dozens of other odds and ends to keep your body functional and healthy during its stay.

You're not usually conscious for this part of things. If you were, it would be a pretty boring experience. On the plus side, there aren't any tubes or wires attached to you. Those are a little too outdated for technology like this. The other plus is that you can open your pod hatch with a push. Luckily for you, those muscles in your arms and legs haven't atrophied. That's part of the science, but it's not perfect. There will be some aching and discomfort.

Take a minute to take stock of everything. You're wearing a bodysuit you don't remember putting on. You're in a giant, spiraling room you've never set eyes on before and your powers—if you have any—are blocked. But you're not alone. There are other people pushing their own pods open or lying still and silent in theirs. In fact there is a very large number of pods. You might not recognize everyone, but that doesn't mean they weren't an inmate at one time—they were even if it was brief.

For the moment there are no bots coming for you, no alarms going off that you can hear, and no immediate threats. The space is vast and the doors aren't locked, but you also might not recognize them as doors or understand how to activate them just yet.]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who went through the doors only. There will be two additional mingles for those who went through the doors and one for those who stayed behind. This mingle should be confined to the central core. The next one will be for exploring. EVENT INFORMATION | REAL MARINANOVA INFORMATION. Make sure to read these links. They have additional information you'll need for this setting.)

	The real... [Carol knows nothing. Nothing about this. She thought she was getting a handle on things, and then she walked through a door, and... No. She knows so little. She moves cautiously to an unopened pod and peers in. She doesn't recognize the person laying there. She's trying to wrap her head around what this means.] But why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A neurology or social experiment maybe? Cheaper than actually building us a beach and the occasional bouncy house? Maybe it's to keep us from really hurting each other.

[She steps in closer, also looking at the pod Carol just inspected.] That's Anissina. Inventor. Crazy inventor I think. She made these robots that fly around forcing people to kiss. She's been lost in the dimensional stabilizer for months.

	[All of those answers are unsettling. It still puts people in pods, and their minds somewhere else. Except maybe in cases like these?] Is this what being lost is then? She's just been laying here? [They've all just been laying here, haven't they?] There's more people in pods than people in the prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-11-05 02:21 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think so. I think we're all in pods whether we think we're in prison or not. Why else did we wake up here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-07 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	...Yes. Of course. [She's having a hard time processing this. This is a dream, right? She'll wake up soon, and tell the first person she sees what a strange dream she had. Where's Keanu? He's going to pop up any second now, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-11-12 05:16 am UTC (link)
	[Kitty hears the hesitation and relents a little.] There could be other answers. I've just talked this out before. [After the coup in the last prison.] It's not the kind of thing you want to believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-13 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Want to and have to are two different things. If this is what it is, then I'll just have to find a way to deal with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-11-18 05:59 am UTC (link)
	This feels like proof. [But it's not like things didn't feel real in the resort-esque prison too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-19 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Carol nods, like she's made up her mind, and steps away from the pod with the unconscious woman.] Let's move on, then. Let's see what else they have for us to discover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-11-23 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Works for me there's a lot to see. [Like Michonne not too far away. Not that Kitty will recognize the woman at all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-25 03:17 am UTC (link)
	I think I've seen enough here. [She doesn't want to see Michonne there. If she does, she'll ... well, she'll pause and make sure she really is still breathing. And she'll feel remorse. But she'll take a deep breath, steel her back, and keep going.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-05 01:19 am UTC (link)
	I'd like to get a look into these systems and figure out what kind of technology they're using. It might help with shutting them down eventually. Maybe waking everyone up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-09 06:05 am UTC (link)
	I don't think I'll be any help with that, unless you need someone to watch your back. Otherwise, I think I'll scope out somewhere else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-12 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Back watching couldn't hurt, but we need eyes on all of it. Who knows how long we've got. ...Or if we'll even remember it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-13 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Can they make us forget? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-13 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Something does. People leave [gesturing at the pods] and when they come back sometimes they don't remember being here or they remember more from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-14 04:21 am UTC (link)
	That's unsettling. That anything could have this kind of control over our minds... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-14 05:03 am UTC (link)
	I guess there aren't a lot of telepaths where you're from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-14 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Zero, in fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-14 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say, "that you know of" but you're probably right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-16 03:30 am UTC (link)
	If we had any, odds are they're walkers now. [Telepathic zombies?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-16 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say that's a bleak way of looking at things, but I'm guessing it falls closer to realistic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-18 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Unfortunately. [A pause.] Listen, I'm going to snoop around. I'll meet up with you later. Work for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-12-27 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	Works for me. Good luck. [Not going to caution safety when that's kind of obvious and the lack there of might get them more info.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
