week one
[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.
On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.
Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Hey, what kind do you want? There's dehydrated blueberry or dehydrated chocolate chip, but if I mixed them together they probably wouldn't form some kind of alien horror.
[Most of the rest of the afternoon is spent in the art room. He's sketching in one of the sketchbooks, leaning back with his feet up on one of the tables because fuck this, actually, what does he care. It's hard to see what he's working on from this angle, but he doesn't seem at all averse to company.
In the evening, he spends a little while wandering the hallways, walking up to people and asking apropros of nothing:]
Hey, I think we should have a movie night, what kinda movie you want to watch?
kitchen
Until he starts snickering like an anime villain. Sorry Max]
Uhm, yeah. Fuck yeah, I want pancakes. Both?

You know those animes where the characters genuinely sparkle in delight at something? Yeah. Look hard enough and she'd actually be sparkling. Hardcore.]
I hadn't even had a chance to look at the movie collection yet. Is it in the movie room somewhere?
[She's already looking for the movie room. Was that a rhetorical question? ...Probably not. ]

PANCAKE GREMLIN: ORIGINS
That's...hm. I mean. Cake itself is not an alien concept to Lucina, but it's been many, many years since she last remembers having anything like a cake. She stands in the doorway to the kitchen, a little stunned, but remembering that she's, you know, being spoken to:]
Um...is...blueberry available?
[Don't give her chocolate let her process one luxury at a time please]

From the selection we have here, my preference would be ones that do not contain much violence or other graphic subjects. Seeing as we have children here, that might limit what we should show as well.

Investigating
But first, Akira spends most of the day in the game room. Sometimes he has a shogi board out, sometimes he's playing solitaire... or practicing card tricks. He might even have the D&D books out.
But once everyone goes to sleep, Joker comes out to work.
First he can be seen slinking around the halls, running his hands along the walls and poking in corners to see if there's any hint of where cleaning services come from. And noting all the camera positions. In fact he's using his Third Eye to try and find clues. And, calling back to Kaiba's simulation theory and the Tells he listed, for anything weird.
After midnight or so he ends up in the storage room, perched up on a shelf until he's as close to a camera as he can get without touching it. Like a curious cat]
I know you're there.
storage room
For a moment she doesn't say anything. Hmm. What should she say? MORE IMPORTANTLY, is he talking to her, or the people behind the camera?
Oh. She's got it. ]

The first victim? The poor poor espresso bar. She's taken it upon herself to put some coffee (not much in each) into like five different coffee mugs and she's... on a one-way trip to coffee hell, she's doing all kinds of syrups in these fucking things. And then she drinks them, because Roxy Lalonde is hardcore.
Then she makes her way to the art room, where she is... drawing? Drawing. It's as good as anything else, and there's not exactly an incredible amount of stuff to actually do here. Is she good at drawing? Eh. Is she going for it anyway? Hell fucking yes.
That or later she is in the media room, watching... oh, she's watching Avatar. The James Cameron feature. If you show up, she might turn and wave, chewing popcorn. Missing precious seconds of the film doesn't seem high on her list of concerns. ]
Yo! What up?

What he can do is cook, and later in the day he's in the kitchen trying to dodge Chloe and getting creative with the contents of MRE packages - ten or fifteen are spread out in front of him opened up as he takes them apart and starts emptying beans and tortillas out for whatever this is going to turn out to be. An hour or so later there's a surprisingly good enchilasagna in the cafeteria waiting. Go for it, you guys, he's at Penny's sign trying to make sense of what he hadn't fixed earlier and obviously brightens when someone comes by.]
Are you busy? I know some people have taken on a lot.

Has anyone encountered a situation similar to this one before?
I think it would be useful to collect experiences that resemble our current circumstances. Space travel, abductions, and killing games are what I had in mind, but if some other similarity occurs to you, you should share that as well.
In the interest of fairness, I will share mine here. My name is Manaka Sajyou. While it had yet to start, before my abduction, I was chosen to participate in a certain ritual that operated on terms similar to this "game." The participants were intended to kill one another until there was only one person left to claim the prize, which in turn could only be made available by the killing itself.
Though I doubt the reason for this game and that ritual are the same, the similarities made me think that we might be about to learn more about our circumstances if we pool our experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.

This book is a bad book that lies about being romantic.

It's Friday. Doomsday.
Chloe's both resigned and incredibly frustrated and what it manifests as is extreme restlessness. She doesn't even have something to help her cool down...
So, when she's not furiously trying to distract herself talking to other people, Chloe will spend most of the day in front of the door in the cafeteria that Rox and Blaze went through several days ago. She's done being patient. She's done looking for escape pods, she's done being monitored like a fucking rat in a cage, just like home--
For the first part of the day, Chloe is knocking - no, pounding - on it, with anything she can find. Her elbow, a canvas from the art room, a box of granola from the storage room. Every so often, she'll call through it. ]
Come on, assholes! This is a sit-in, you want some peace and quiet? Chloe Price isn't gonna fuckin' give it to you!
[ At other points, she'll be- ...well, she's grabbed a pen and she's drawing? Graffiti, that's what's going on here. She's not a fantastic artist? Not enough to earn her a title, at least, but Chloe has some skill. There's caricatures of Blaze and Rox, with Blaze looking stoned as hell and Rox with devil horns and a fork tongue. Under her portrait, she's written, clearer than her handwriting:
ALERT! DICKWADS ON THE OBSERVATION DECK!
At some points, she's just sitting there, staring. These are the ones she's most resigned and upset. For a long period of time, that's what she's doing, but as the day gets later...
Sometime shortly before the movie, she hauls off and then returns with a chair from the game room, the broken leg of an easel, and a mighty pissed expression. Chloe starts wailing on the door. ]
Come out! Open the fuck up, you cowards! COME! OUT!! [ ...And mighty screaming. It develops into that, just yelling. Until she can barely breathe, or she- ...until she's red in the face and the eyes.
"Champion," they said. She can't be Champion of anyone. ]
