the mock mingle

[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.

It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.

As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.

The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.

Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.

When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.

Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

Wh--oh, no, I was just sitting here thinking.

[Honey, you're...well ok you're not too young to know what death is but what.]

Trying to figure out how to get out of here. Stuff like that.
strikemonster: (i'm almighty mai-lakai)

[personal profile] strikemonster 2017-01-10 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Mai thinks about that for a second.]

In a technical sense, I suppose it would be since each of these packets is formulated for maximum nutritional value. Realistically, however, this is eight thousand calories of ice cream and turkey dinner.
semperperatus: (SHARRRRRRRKS)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
No. Whatever else I might have to add would clearly be lost on you.

[MAN it's too bad he's from a SyFy channel-based universe he would be swearing so colorfully right now!!!!]

[personal profile] waitforit 2017-01-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
You kidding? This thing is hideous. I can't be expected to perform, much less land any chicks looking like this. Unless...

[ He pauses and his eyes go wide, like he's just had an epiphany. ]

Challenge accepted!
strikemonster: (so i don't get all the ladies)

[personal profile] strikemonster 2017-01-10 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
It all tastes bad, so where I'm from we sometimes mix it together so it's at least bad in surprising ways.

[In other words: no.]
semperperatus: (WHY THE HELL AM I IN SPACE???!!)

comment not here but

[WHAT THE HELL KID DON'T FALL FOR THE CLEARLY EVIL AI'S TRICKS!!!!!]

[personal profile] strikemonster 2017-01-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. [This is. A little different than the kind of game she's used to.] That makes sense. I suppose it wouldn't be a very fair game unless that was the case.

[Kanade steps into the room and stares, listlessly floating up.]

No gravity.

[...does she ever emote?]
misplacedxsheath: (Hmmm...I'll consider it.)

[personal profile] misplacedxsheath 2017-01-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
They're built too solidly for me to break without my Ethers. I've tried.

Regarding your other point, if a weapon might make this too easy, allowing one person to simply slaughter everyone and thus ensure nobody lives to convict them certainly would.
have_a_heart: Kanade in Yuri's scope. (targeted)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I do not believe that you can escape by murdering yourself. Even if you were to revive, it would be right back on the spaceship.

Escape plans. ...They would be easier if we had our abilities.
misplacedxsheath: (Who thought that was a good idea?)

[personal profile] misplacedxsheath 2017-01-10 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. If we were chosen for our exceptional abilities, it stands to reason that they consider us threats.

Well...with one evident exception.
have_a_heart: Waking up. (mnnnn)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
This is a challenge?

[ High fives are so important, Finley. ]

Sounds important. I guess if someone really tries to kill anybody, you can help out.

[ Wow, that was actually a pertinent topic of discussion, which of course means Barney has to ruin it with a follow up. ]

So, lifeguard training—ever save any hot chicks with CPR?
semperperatus: (ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE DEEEEEEAD)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Hopefully that won't be a problem.

[Wow, this fake glass looks super interesting--BARNEY--]

A few. Santa Monica and all.
waitforit: (06)

[personal profile] waitforit 2017-01-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Psh, I'll be better than good. I'll be awesome.

[ It's too bad you're just a voice, CECE, or he'd high five you too. ]

So what can you tell me about you, CECE? Do you have a hot body to go with your hot voice?

/tells self to use small instead of i, fails almost immediately

[personal profile] voltrounds 2017-01-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm.

[It certainly looks like it would taste bad. She can't even tell what most of this stuff is supposed to be.

She opens a packet of... peach cobbler? Supposedly?]


This looks like soap.

[personal profile] waitforit 2017-01-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Dead serious. ]

It is now.
semperperatus: (john heard really)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be easier if we could figure out the paneling in this place.

[Heck, he could go for a fork if it means he can pry open a panel to mess with the wiring!!]

You haven't seen any part of the wall that could be pried open by any chance, right?

[ Sorry he can't hear any real danger over his hardcore denial!!!!!!! ]

Santa Monica? What Up! [ Please high five him again, please. ] You ever nail any celebrities?
semperperatus: (SHARRRRRRRKS)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
And we would appreciate answers!

[HE IS MATURE HE IS VERY MATURE AND VERY MAD!!!]

Ah!

[Ricky quickly... well, does nothing in particular, but she feels like she should be reacting to being 'caught.' She stops herself at the next wall she reaches and clears her throat.]

I wonder if it's a malfunction of some kind.
