“Current system readings indicate a grand total of two-hundred and seventeen subjects. All are in stable condition and are receiving their instructions as we speak.”

”And the machine?”

“Ready to start up at any time.”

”What’s your plan?”

“Have them all gather in the cafeteria, tell them what’s going on, and then ask for volunteers for the inaugural run.”

”Don’t tell me you really think it will be that easy.”

“I don’t. But I have this… sinking feeling.”

”Whatever it is, don’t let it hamper the operation. You may have convinced the other Board members to support you, but I will be maintaining a close watch on your actions with these…”

“Zoners.”

”Change that name. It’s horribly unprofessional.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The communication line is manually terminated.

_“Bitch.”

Whoops, sorry. :/ Can she keep her glasses or will she be walking around blind?

@ScarlettWaters16

Nah, nah, extraneous aesthetics are perfectly okay.

Posted! Totally didn't edit after seeing the scrub suit colour xD

@GingerBoi123

'Course you didn't.

@ScarlettWaters16 One thing I feel I gotta bring up - characters start with none of their former possessions but the clothes they went to sleep in. Which includes journals. Sorry. Jasmine can ask Eli to send out for it if she wants him to.

@SepticGentleman

Are the scrubs the color of our zone, or just the number?

@ScarlettWaters16

The uniforms themselves are the matching, solid color of your character's Zone. The number is printed on the right sleeve in a conflicting color (black on red uniforms, red on white uniforms, and white on black uniforms).

My finger slipped.

IT BEGINS.

PROMPT 1

Take the role of your character(s).

You wake up one morning after another night of REM Zoning, coupled with the worry of the invading, otherworldly forces. Today, however, you are not situated in your usual place of rest. You find yourself in what looks like a hospital room – you’re on a bed in the corner, there’s a desk with some hung-up cabinets opposite to you, a medium-sized TV hanging from the farthest corner of the ceiling, door to the left of the desk, and one at the end of your bed. And there’s no window to try and jump out of.

After a few minutes of you wondering what’s going on (and/or freaking the hell out), the TV clicks on autonomously. Someone who looks like an absolute nerd (Eli), sitting at a desk full of equipment, stares at you through the screen. And he begins to speak.

“Alright. This is an automated message. Do not be alarmed, everything is fine. Just remain calm and follow my instructions. In the bathroom to the left of your desk, you’ll find a few folded uniforms. Put one on, and the security lock on the door will recognize you. Once you’re out of the room, follow the green line to the cafeteria on Level C. Stairs or the elevators, you can use either. Don’t delay, don’t get distracted, just… get there. If for some reason you need any form assistance, there are service bots stationed in the halls that can help you. That is all.”

The TV shuts itself off after the message is done playing.

FOOTNOTE: Follow this format for your first post. It doesn’t have to be crazy long, a few short paragraphs will do you just fine. Have your character act out everything up above and find their uniform in the bathroom. They’ll look mostly like scrubs, with a number and color corresponding to your character’s Zone. After that, have them head to the cafeteria level by following the green line with segmented arrows. You can have your character(s) meet up with others, but be sure to get to the cafeteria and take a seat as soon as possible. Once everyone’s situated, I’ll move us along.

Also, the service bots are your basic humanoid-white-polymer-exposed-joints-with-no-faces automatons.

Do we have an eta on start?

Gonna PM you my CS soon, Septic. Are there any Zones you need me to be?

@ScarlettWaters16

It's completely up to you.

<Snipped quote by ScarlettWaters16>

I'm not septic, but there's no Zone 2-ers. Also don't expect a post out of me until midweek. I have a bio test to do.

@Maxx

There are two Zone 2s as of now. Check the thing, you jackal.

@StairdwellerI shared a similar mindset when I was brought onto it. I know how you feel. Thankfully, I accepted my fate and now I'm doing this. Anyway, sent you a request.

The game begins in less than an hour, folks. Make peace with your god or godlike figures.
