[PART 8a: EXPLORE] / if you chose to stay
[The dome is very dark, and it's difficult to see. But from what you can make out, everything is exactly the same as it should be. The playground -- the arcade -- the school -- the pet cafe -- it's all there, just like it is normally, eerily similar. The unconscious bodies of your fellow inmates not participating in Sentience's rebellion are tucked into their beds; the animals in the pet cafe and the stables are also asleep and unwakeable.]
[Robots are few and far between, but they are all powerful sentinels now, and they will attack you with clubs, tasers, and forcefields if they see you.]
[But the only building with working electricity is the big black building in Sector 1. It normally doesn't have a door to enter it at all, but now it does: and if you go inside, you'll find rows and rows of bunk beds lining the walls of the massive facility -- many of them containing the body of someone who has previously been in the facility. They are all sound asleep, unmoving and unresponsive, just like your sleeping friends who are still in the dome.]
((OOC: You will find all dropped characters not currently on the taken page in the black building. For instance, there is a Sora from Kingdom Hearts -- but only one, even though we've had many -- but there are two of Nunnally from Code Geass, one from Nightmare of Nunnally and one from Lelouch of the Rebellion. They have to have been apped characters; fourth wall characters do not count.))
((You can only action-tag this part if you ignore Sentience's call, but if a voice or video post is made in response, everyone is welcome to tag it.))
