Week 6

[It's been six weeks and with Ricky, Kurumi, and Lightning all dead, the group that was initially 20 strong has dwindled down to only seven. Thirteen Champions have died in about a month and a half, and even the Overseers are beginning to crack. How many more will follow before this cruel experiment ends?

And again at 7 am the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call there is no new floor announcement this week.

And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday


[ooc: welcome to week 6, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

[ well that is absolutely not male model goat Satan, but it's not nothing. She steps forward, staring at whatever shops might be lining this boardwalk and maybe trying to read the displays if there are any. ]

What​ is this?

[airlockedmods]

[To be fair, Thomasin is likely not familiar with this particular brand of tourist trap.

It's the same buildings as before, but Xander and Jamie may or may not have shared that. There's an Information Booth, a building she probably won't recognize as a hotel that totally has a nice pool out back, a restaurant, a surf shop, and some other less-well-labelled booth. Also, in the distance, a Ferris wheel.

Although we previously described the pool as nice, it is now full of pond scum. Probably don't swim there.]

[curdle]

[ Well, she does like information, so that's the booth she's headed for! This territory has been trod by Xander and Jamie already, but long story short she's gonna go for those pamphlets, if they're still there. What are the pictures like. For the love of god, do not make her read more. ]

[airlockedmods]

[People having fun at the beach, carnivals, Medieval Times The Dinner Show And Tournament. Apparently there's an aquarium somewhere nearby, that's pretty neat.

Everything seems way past Thomasin's time. But she probably gathered that already, huh?]

[curdle]

[ She sure did, but she's well beyond used to it at this point. Are those giant turkey legs??

No, never mind. If she physically takes a pamphlet and attempts to tuck it into her apron, will it go along for the ride? Because she's heading down in the direction of that distant ferris wheel. ]

[airlockedmods]

[It can't be removed from the holodeck, but taking it elsewhere within the simulation is fine!

The buildings along the way flicker occasionally, going from merely run-down to ruined entirely and back in the blink of an eye. But the boardwalk itself is stable, so you can easily reach the pier with the little carnival. It's got some fair games, some smaller rides, and the big Ferris wheel near the back.]

[curdle]

[ She pauses when she notices the glitching, and moves closer to the closest flickering building to examine it more closely, but presumably that doesn't exactly bear the most interesting fruit.

Does the ferris wheel do anything similar? ]

[airlockedmods]

[The Ferris wheel is eaten with rust at times, but it seems to be more stable than the buildings. Most of the time, it looks brand-new. With the rust, though, comes shards of broken glass littering the ground near its base, so be careful. The Ferris wheel itself has no glass components, nor is there any glass nearby.

Additionally, the carnival has some of the standard games along the way, with prizes hanging from the booths. The biggest-ticket item at one of them is kinda weird-looking.]

[curdle]

[ Well, that's curious. Where did the glass come from?

Is what she was pondering before she saw that plush. ]

Shadow--

[ No, not Shadow. Just some toy that looks like him in blue. It's probably not much smaller than he actually was in life, let's be honest.

She's just going to approach the booth and try and unfasten it. ]

[airlockedmods]

[It comes down easily enough, with no carnies around to demand she win it fairly.

* You got the Hero Hedgehog!
Though it superficially resembles Shadow, this toy looks to have been cheaply mass-produced. It's not even good enough to be his fake.
ATK: 2 DEF: 3]

[curdle]

[ She holds the doll at arm's-length for a few seconds, observing the differences, before giving it a tight squeeze. She'll allow it. But watch yourself, McCoy.

What are the rest of the prizes like? Also: ]

Who are you?

[ She is talking to the sky. ]

[airlockedmods]

[There's a lot of stuffed animals, most notably some big stuffed dogs. There is an empty space big enough for one more dog on that booth. The cheaper prizes are lower down on the booths - smaller plushies, little plastic hats or toys, nothing particularly good. It's a boardwalk carnival.

There is no answer.]
