Vas Captio Journals

This is an all call for blood donors.

We have a need for all types. It'll be as painless as I can make it and I even found some lollipops for when you're done. Two lollipops if you know your blood type.

Come find me in the pharmacy.

-McCoy

From the look of it, everyone's been in the thick of it.

If anyone needs medical attention you can find me at the Pharmacy.

I'll be the guy wearing jeans and a sweatshirt.. all of which mostly covered in mud.

The names Leonard McCoy.

Dear Diary,

I am living in a barn. It smells like hay and...cows.

Please send beer and cigarettes - the good types, not the cheap ones.

Love,

Adrian.

Hey Management? Go fuck yourselves, you sadistic pricks.

Dave, I'm on my way back, you better be "home" when I get there, I'm fucking freezing and I need your help bandaging my wrists, fuck.

-Jo

So this blacking out is a normal thing here? How long does it usually last? Is it on a schedule? How long are the people being used in the 'experiment' usually gone? Are they returned in good shape or not?

Rachel:

We'll need to be careful about morphing if we can be knocked out so easily. We don't need ourselves getting stuck. That said, I vote we try looking using different eyes for a while. We can't leave Jake out there.

[Her handwriting is shaky.]

I'll never complain about New York or London winters ever again.

[Grace & Mini]
How are you two surviving this weather?

We're going to get pretty hungry if this lasts a lot longer, but I have to admit that being snowed in hasn't been all bad.

How is everyone doing on supplies? I'd say this can't last much longer, but I don't think this is a normal blizzard. It's pretty unusual for it to snow a lot when it's this cold. Which I guess means it'll last as long as our captors want it to. Hopefully, that's not long enough for anyone to freeze to death or anything.

So our door is now completely blocked by the snow. Looks like we're tunneling out of here whenever this is over. Thanks, Management. You guys are real gems.

Is everyone doing okay? No one has noticed anyone missing or anything, right?

-Rachel

GYM RESIDENTS

All the balls I found in the managers office were half deflated, but I found some hockey sticks and a puck that are still usable. Anyone up for a game?

Final update Hermione and I put together on the meeting:

- Tomorrow
- Noon
- The Theater (last chance to protest if you live here)
- Moderators: Jo and Jeff

If you want to help set up chairs or bring food, I'd appreciate it. But otherwise show up for an actual meeting, not a party. Felicity will have a list of names to check who is here. Please give her a legit name to work with.

But we can totally get shitfaced after. I know I'll need a drink after.

See you all tomorrow!

-Kenzi

Show of hands: who does and doesn't know how to build a fire? If this weather lasts, we're going to need to figure that out. Unless some of you want to freeze to death, of course.

Lissa and I found the thrift store. There are lots of clothes and blankets here. We're working on splitting them into piles by size, etc. you guys are welcome to come by and see if there's anything in your size or we can come to you. It's getting pretty damn cold out there, so staying inside isn't a bad plan.

[Lissa]

I don't know about you, but I suddenly really miss Christian.

- Rose

Ew. no.

Jeff
Someone suggested I get warm the old-fashioned way. Care to join me?

I'm Freddie. I know a lot of us are trying to stage a sort of get together but honestly that kind of stuff's a bit awkward for me, especially if there's going to be a lot of older proper adults trying to take charge of the situation and set up rules and guidelines. So if any of you feel like popping over to the library first for something informal and fun, we've got booze, snacks, and spliff. Mind the sign on the door though, yeah? That still stands.

What the hell?

Is there anybody who has actually been in the library, or who has been staying there?

I want to make an attempt at looking to see what I can do about or electrical problem, at the very least, plus there are a few other things that I think we could potentially do to not only make this place more hospitable, but also safer for us and I know that it's a long shot, but I want to have a look in the library to see if there's anything at all that might actually be useful. There might be maps or other information in there too, we never know, so actually doing a search of it, and potentially some of the other buildings more thoroughly could be a good idea. Or at least I was thinking that.

So, I don't want to go in and startle anybody who might be there, or if someone has been there and the books are completely molded or crumbling a warning would be appreciated. And if anybody else wants to come with me I wouldn't say no to that either, for the record.

- Felicity

Scott's post got me thinking- there is a lot of other shit stuff we could be doing to make things easier here, I guess. For one, the maps suck. So, maybe some of us could scout around and try to come up with something better, We should also set up some kind of watch or patrol or something. I don't know if we can stop being from being taken since it sounds like from what you guys have said, we're all knocked out before that happens, but I still think it kind of makes sense to try sleeping in shifts so we can look out for each other.

I know I haven't been here long. It's only been a few days. So, tell me if this all sounds crazy or if it's been tried before, but I can't just sit around and do nothing I thought it was worth a shot.

( handwriting sample )

Hey guys, this is Scott. It looks like I missed a lot of new people the other day when I was stuck on a random raft. Which, the whole random raft thing actually made me think, it looks like the plan for us is to keep getting randomly thrown into these weird survival scenarios with a partner and also to keep living in this random town with no electricity or running water. I know we're all trying to get out of here, and I don't want to do anything to distract us from that or sound like I think we should give up, but as long as we have to be here and keep getting this stuff thrown at us, it couldn't hurt to prepare, or make living here a little less horrible, right?

I was thinking if anyone had a skill or something they were really good at, like lock-picking or cooking or fighting with/without weapons (Allison? I know you could at least kick my butt) or like nature-y skills like knowing which footprints belong to which animals and what berries you can eat and stuff, they could write something here if they were willing to teach people. Anyone who wanted to learn could write back to them. It doesn't even have to be a survival skill, I mean, we're all going to go insane really fast if we never do anything fun so if you're great at drawing or something, that works too.

So, I'll start -- hi, I'm Scott McCall and I'm not really great at much, but if anyone wants to start jogging or swimming to get better at either, I'm in pretty good shape, so I'd be a good workout buddy?

[Barn + Derek, Jo, and Felicity] (aka the non-barn people he knows fairly well that he thinks are level-headed)
Hey, have any of you guys met a guy named Kai? Other than at the meeting? Is he staying with any of you? I don't want to sound paranoid but I have a bad feeling about I mean maybe not even a bad feeling but if any of you know he's a good guy that would be reassuring?

So I'm new-ish around here. You can call me Rachel. I've been keeping an eye on these journals. Did the people who disappeared the other day come back? Everyone doing okay?

Captain's Log.
Stardate: unknown.
Planet: unknown.
Galaxy: unknown.
Commanding Officer: Jim Kirk.

It has been two days since I've been marooned here on this planet. Contact with Starfleet or the Federation has yet to be established and there seems no militia outpost in this city. Uncertain whether captors mean to do us harm. Need to re-establish contact with the Enterprise. Current supplies include a day's worth of food from gas station and a bottle of clean water to be rationed until water-source is established. A drink would be mighty nice right now.

I'm going to go into the unknown and try to figure out how to fix this.

Kirk out.

Rose?

[Close to Lissa's Handwriting]

Not to put anybody in any sort of panic or worry, but it looks like it's that time again and I know of at least one person who was taken now. This is definitely a weekly occurrence, if there any any of you that haven't come to that realization or been informed of that. We don't have any guarantees on that, exactly, but this is the fourth week, by my count. So, that makes it a definite pattern and not any sort of coincidence.

That being said who is missing and who is still where they were before passing out? It wouldn't hurt to get an idea of who to be on the look out for. I don't know that sending out search parties will actually give us any sort of success, but if people want to do that it would definitely be a better idea to communicate rather than going out in multiple different groups. Getting a sort of list one place seems like it would be a good idea and helpful.

I've also already seen one new set of handwriting, so there may be new individuals who have just woken up out in the forest too. That's the pattern. People black out and new people arrive, though, I don't know that that's how it goes every week, but it seems to be the trend.

Just for the record.
