Vas Captio Journals

I don't even know if we have any new people this week, but if we do. Hi, my name is Felicity Smoak. I've been here approximately four months. I don't want to overwhelm anyone with a huge explanation right off of the get go, but we currently have a much higher number of children in the dome due to an experiment, and so I'm a little preoccupied trying to make sure that we have every one of them covered with an adult this week.

But I'm more than happy to answer any questions that I can, or one of the others can do so here as well considering there are a few of us who are up to date on the current situation.

A summation of what is going on would be that we've all been kidnapped by a group that call themselves The Management. The Management call this dome an experiment, and weekly they do individual experiments for a chunk of individuals. Now, this all sounds impossible, I know, but the proof is in the journals. I encourage you to read back. And again, I'll answer any questions or help however I can. The map in the welcome box is inaccurate and missing several buildings, there are no known exits, to the best of our knowledge the Management are cowards and do not walk among us, and the dome (our environment) changes at the Management's will, for the record.

Also, if everyone who is NOT a child could check in and update me on anybody they know is a child at the moment, I'd appreciate that. I just want to make sure everyone is safe, settled, and has any help that they may need. I know the dome looks a lot better than it did, but that doesn't mean that it's completely safe, especially for anybody who might be tiny.

Have you had a chance to check through the journal
You're twelve you should have been sleeping

I realize this isn't at the top of anyone's priorities list, but would anyone be interested in a get together soon? Not a meeting, but a social gathering. To break up some of the monotony of scavenging and the various work everyone has been doing. Perhaps an afternoon at the cleaner of the two lakes? Or an evening bonfire?

Dios Mío. I am so lost. Where's the farmer and the pitchfork? I ain't trying to be on someone's farm right now.

The fuck is this shit.

This is some Harry Potter bullshit.

Since the experiments been over I been feeling okay, but does that mean I ain't never gonna get what I had never again? I seen people have that, the coughing up blood, before and it ain't nice...it's real bad and I don't wanna feel like that again....

Is there anything I should do to be sure I don't never feel like that ever again?

HURLEY.
I ain't been on the journals lots, but I don't think I seen you post nothing. You okay?

CAPTAIN & INARA.
Why do a couple of people not like the babies? I don't get it.

They're just babies and they ain't done nothing wrong and it ain't their fault they're here or nothing.... I know they cry and they can stink and stuff but...they're babies.

FELICITY

I am so sorry for my behavior last week. I hope I didn't make you too uncomfortable.

How are you feeling, Captain? Not still in love with Dave, I hope.

Sooo votes are in. All the votes. All the counting.

It seems people were more in favor of killing Kai, with police force/jail in the close second. Only one person voted for banishment. There was also a call for someone to build a sort of jail for any future problems.

Right...uh...who volunteers to take that on? I'm sitting this topic out now.

For jobs, people seemed interested in assigning them based on skill, and more than one person seemed interested in focusing on a few jobs at a time to get the most work done. Others suggested on focusing on getting the building secure and in better working order before we move on to bigger things. And Octavia volunteered to help with a smokehouse.

There were other things. Voting things. Arguing things. Decision-making things.

But what does any of that matter? Especially when Dutch is here. You know, since I showed up here I've been questioning whether or not I was right in returning to life. Whether or not this life is worth coming back to.

But if I'm lucky enough to not only come back, but come back for Dutch? It's all worth it.

There were flowers and balloons in the cabin when I got back. Maybe Dutch would like some for herself.

I can't rightly say that I ain't never been dropped on a planet without warning, but this is the first time having to write in a gorram journal as a form of communication. It's downright primitive. This 愚笨的 Vas Captio research has got some explaining to do.

[ SIRIUS ]

Hello, Sirius.

I didn't see you check in on Jo's post, so I hope that means you haven't fallen ill. If you haven't, could I trouble you to come by and sit with Kaylee for a few hours? She's not feeling her best and I don't want to leave her alone. But I'd like to go help Jo with some of the others who are sick as well as get some fresh supplies.

-Inara

[ SYDNEY ]

Hello, Sydney. I'm just checking in again. Have you been able to work out everything with the young man you know from home? You haven't become sick, have you?

-Inara

Guys...is anyone else feeling...unusual? In a bad way? Sick?

-Jo

AGAINST KAI.

Feel free to use this filter, if it makes you more comfortable, but I can't in good conscience leave anyone out of this particular conversation.

This isn't happening!

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that others seem to be using these journals to communicate, so I thought I would try my luck. My name is Inara Serra, myself and another young lady woke up together in the woods beyond the town. We're still unclear about many things regarding this place. If you can offer up any information, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
