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.]

I think the main problem is that we're relying on the station's systems to stay alive.

[A small nod. She pauses.]

So you think learning to move around in this room will help should we need to defend ourselves.

[Nods back.] Right. Well, if something happens to the gravity. It might be fine.

[Immediately, Kanade goes from listlessly floating to flipping back just as her head's about to hit the ceiling, pushing off it with her feet, and grabbing hold of the nearest grip bar on the wall.]

...Hm.

[AU where Ricky accidentally becomes the killer because she goes into an in-depth explanation instead and while she's talking Kanade hits her head on the ceiling and dies from the resulting injury. The murder weapon: excessive detail.]

That was good!

[Hey, you never know.]

...Maybe you are right. It would be a problem were this to spread.

Especially since there aren't as many handholds in the other rooms.
have_a_heart: Bad reaction in an imagine spot. (oh. no. bad acting.)

The food packets would also make a mess.
voltrounds: (B02F. The verdant in-between)

missed this one

[personal profile] voltrounds 2017-01-11 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess they would, wouldn't they?

[Obviously that was a joke, right?]
have_a_heart: Kanade in the shadows. (your enemy by default)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-11 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It is a bad idea to make a mess. It would probably anger the people in charge.
voltrounds: (B15F. Lord of the celestial ocean)

[personal profile] voltrounds 2017-01-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that's... sounding less like a joke.]

...well, there wouldn't be much we could do about it.
have_a_heart: Kanade dodging and attacking. (instant reflex)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Still. It may be a good idea not to tamper with the wall panels. I will have to tell everyone.
voltrounds: (B11F. A mysterious cerulean wood)

[personal profile] voltrounds 2017-01-11 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
...good thinking.

[Was the idea of making a mess what convinced her? Ricky's not sure what just happened.]
