Once again, the campus sits in an unsettling but familiar white void.
Gone is the chaos or excitement of the previous week. What remains of Derleth University has returned to its gentle void so all its guests may recouperate in absolute peace. The dinning hall kitchens have been restocked, any damage to the campus undone. All is well again.
The void itself is an unsettling endless white. Almost as if the university has locked itself away in a brilliant white room, but with no discernible ground, horizon, walls or edge. You can step outside the campus, walk for hours as if you've traveled a long distance, but when you turn around the buildings of campus are only several feet away. The void is safe, but after a time can also be terribly dull.
Characters from The Good Place might find it not too unlike Janet's void. Characters with a programming background might think of it more like a computer simulation where the surroundings have yet to be rendered. How your character views the void is up to you.
☑ There's a map of the campus, OOCly beautifully drawn by me in MS Paint, to be posted ICly by Julia.
☑ No, you can't magic or science your way into an empty room if you don't want to have a roommate. Try as you might, you cannot change or alter your keys. Your room is your room. (Those of you to take a look on the magical side of things will see wards weaved within the dorms that make Hogwarts or Brakebills look like a cakewalk. WTF, amirite?)
☐ So a network already exists, linking everyone's phones or found devices to it for communication wherever they go. Hmm. Strange. Mysterious. Convenient. Ask the mod if you want to poke at this strange technology more.
☐ Is someone going to try and sleep outside the safety of their dorm room? At night? All by their lonesome? Because yes, there will be consequences. Please discuss with the mod if your character would try it.
☐ Has anyone died in the middle of the week yet? Won't that be a shock when they wake back up the following week. Until then, this is not yet known to your characters! (Rick has. Julia is aware. Was it a one off or is it normal? Please discuss especially if it becomes relevant again.)
☐ Has anyone tried to step off campus into the void? Don't worry! It's safe. Just a little boring. Or weird. Or weird then kinda boring?
☐ Contact the mod if you have any other questions or things in particular you'd like to explore.
