Fading Memory

Lunar Dome 10

@Tywell Hey I appreciate the submission, but with this sheet in its current state I do not think I will accept it at this time. I can see the beginnings of an idea here, but there’s too many vague details that aren’t quite clear why they’re vague.

If you can tighten up the idea, flesh out a few extra details, explain why his identity needs to be/is concealed, elaborate a bit on the family business(es), what his formal role on this skeleton crew is, etc. that’d go a long way to getting this where it needs to be.

I can see the core idea; ‘Hardass uncle refuses to see his merits and demands he meet an unreachable standard, uses wealth and influence to force him into a ‘test’ on the moon’, and while I think that’s a workable core concept I think you meed to spend a little more time at the ironing board for this one.

If you give a human sheep, you get bagpipes.

If you give a human prohibition, you get bathtub whiskey.

I understand what you’re saying, and that can certainly be the case situationally, I just wanted to make sure nobody was overestimating the sincere cramped crappiness of a prefab shared-space dormitory. I’ve been in dorms with roughly equal space to some prisons today.

The only ‘luxury’ any of you have is that the entire place is virtually uninhabited, with the option of laying claim to some nicer spaces or personalized spaces at your own convenience.

If this place was at full capacity it would be horrendous for everyone involved on a human ethics level.

LD-10 isn’t agrarian hell because Concern is cutting corners and pinching pennies and you all are getting some freedoms because of that. (And because I’m not interested in hopeless drudgery, even for an apocalypse scenario start)

On my end, I can’t imagine the Concern or Holiday caring about the living arrangements enough to split anyone into segregated housing. A few padded rooms in a medical office would make a lot of sense, but for all Holiday cares you could all share a single suite of rooms.

Holiday may sass people for taking manager rooms above their pay grade, but the Concern itself would be so hands off after three years that if someone could deal with the occasional Holiday reminder then they could totally just take any room they felt like taking.

@Eisenhorn Isaac Adesso, approved. I don't have anything clever to say here, he's just a perfectly normal person, and that's cool.

I envisioned the ‘food processors and beverage dispensers’ as a communal cafeteria, whilst the kitchenettes were for the cooking of things privately. The public star-trek food hall vs the ‘I want to actually bake this potato rather than eat the printed nutrient stuff’

Press the beer button, get a cup filled to one serving. That’s a good analogy.

Yeah there’s probably a plot dedicated to coffee as well, but it’s likely a very small luxury thing that for the last three years Domes 1-9 have been fighting over.

I’m leaving a lot of the specific details to you folks to decide due to your characters having had the time and capability to customize things they felt like they could tamper with and not get nagged by Holiday over.

As for a pecking order of employees, I may toy with making some kind of flow chart at some point, but for the time being Yev would, in my personal esteem, be the only one noticeably ‘lesser’ (being basically indentured to the Concern) on the totem pole and Kaplan is the only one noticeably ‘Superior’ at the moment.

@Expendable Yevpraksiya Popova, Approved. I read the sheet last night and considered asking some questions or clarifying some details, but as I stewed on it today I don't think there's anything submitted so far that quite captures the sheer horribleness of the post-punk corpocratic world than a young woman victimized by her boss, then gaslit and blackmailed into potentially actualizing radicalized behavior, and ending up put on the single farthest point she could be put away from anyone who could actually help her situation by the ones who victimized her to begin with.

That and the one line about being accused of heresy for having replacement limbs by a religion; that's just salt on wounds. I can appreciate the questions that makes one ask about the world.

I have no questions. I can appreciate that you took steps to define cruelty and setting atmosphere in off-beat ways. A succinct sheet that says a lot more than it seems to.

Excited to see more applications come in.

Lunar Dome 10

@Yankee My original expectation was that everyone had been in the dome for the ballpark of two or three years (Basically having arrived shortly after it finished being constructed), mostly just to have the farms up and running and supplies already established. It is possible for a character to be more recently added to the LD-10 staff, though, if that suits ideas better for specific people.

We'll call it 'three' just so I don't suffer indecisive GM-itis.
