Day One: Awakening
Who: EVERYONE!
What: Awaking up and Orientation to the Cooler
When: Day 1 (September 1st & 2nd)
Where: The Cryopod hall and Residential Area
Warnings: Mostly nudity and language, please label individual threads if need be
Arrival:
Your last memories are a haze as consciousness drifts back into your mind. You awaken on something hard, but lined, an uncomfortably upholstered bed of some kind, and a hiss of escaped air accompanies a door before you opening and raising slowly upward and out of the field of your slowly focusing vision. The entire surface on which you’re reclined rocks forward and places you on solid ground on shaky limbs and the chill of your surroundings sends gooseflesh swelling across every inch of your entirely bare form.
Naked, confused, and disoriented as you try to assess the situation (like the echoing click so loud in the otherwise silent chamber), a spotlight glares to life before you, washing out your vision momentarily. You’re vaguely aware of others, other cries or gasps of shock, other shafts of light directed at other strange bed chambers much like the one in which you so recently awoke.
Before you’re able to shrug off the initial disorientation, a disembodied female voice chimes through the darkness.Despite its slightly cheery tone, something may seem a bit...off about it, but that may just be nerves…
Residential Area:
When the blast doors open, you can see into an area that resembles…. A rundown college dormitory, complete with kitchen and living areas? Well, thankfully, it’s coed, or the boys would just have to sleep in their pods, right? There are many rooms in a corridor, with names flashing on the displays near the door. Maybe you should try and find your own? How far this corridor goes is hard to tell, as everyone’s rooms seem to be near the top of the hall.
However, should you decide to go further down, there’s no lighting and the temperature will drop steadily. Maybe LACUNA doesn’t want you to go down there.
In the kitchen areas, there appear to be other blast doors that might be able to open, but there’s no indication that they have in a very long time. Where they open out to is impossible to see, since windows seem to have been conveniently forgotten.
[OOC : For more information about what to do and see, click here. Please feel free to make your own top-levels or continue action threads from the test drive here. Or start new ones! Whatever your heart desires is pretty much up for grabs here. Just know that LACUNA is watching and listening to everything you do and say.]

Questions for LACUNA
Off to one side, another spotlight, this one allowing you to see into a slightly curved corridor turning into darkness, flicks on.
The message will repeat periodically, but once the indicated path is followed, another message will join the chorus. Perhaps this isn’t a recording after all…
[OOC: If you would care to thread with LACUNA, please reply here! We’re not promising she’ll be very helpful or forthcoming with information, but it’ll make you feel better, right? Right??]
no subject
Obi-Wan’s senses were foggy as he stepped out of the pod, but he stumbled towards the light anyway. His arms wrapped around himself in attempt to fight off the chill since he literally had nothing else. He could tell there were others around him, but didn’t pay much attention at first.
The strange voice prompting questions was what got him to perk up.
“Aside from the obvious, where are we and why are we here, I would also like to know if you intend to keep us unclothed like this?”
Some clothes would be very much appreciated! Unless this so called LACUNA is truly the deviant here.
no subject
"You are here at the Cooler because you have agreed to help with—" Her response is cut off by a great deal of white noise. "As for clothing, you will find rooms set aside for each of you, equipped with coverings for your convenience. After your immediate questions are answered."
no subject
“I don’t recall agreeing to anything, let alone this.”
He gestures to their surroundings.
“Though it seems your answer was partly cut out. Is there someone controlling you? Why hide it if we supposedly agreed to this?”
no subject
You're here. Get over it.
"Initiate Kenobi, I am hiding nothing. Your files clearly have your signatures."
As for her answer being cut out, she's not addressing that. Good luck.
no subject
If you’re hiding nothing then prove it!
no subject
You can almost hear the smile in her mechanical voice, Obi-Wan.
no subject
She is met with sass.
“When will I be allowed to leave?”
He has important things to do after all.
no subject
You're not leaving. <3
no subject
Because he has a feeling that will be important.

Re: Questions for LACUNA
So she had been programmed to answer questions. Answers that were dictated by her programmer's whims in regards to her programming. Which mean probably nothing useful. It was partially a psychological experiment after all. At least that's what he was surmising from the tactics that had already been manifesting.]
Alright LACUNA, where are we?
no subject
[LACUNA is nice enough to repeat that twice for him specifically while herding the rest of the group to the large blast doors. While exploration isn't deviant, it is a bit strange considering they are all naked at this point in time.
Humans are strange.
At his questions, she notates that he moves closer to the group and is satisfied to answer his question, despite his tone.]
We are in the Cooler. Currently, you are in the cryopod chamber. Should you join the others, I will open the door to the residential area. :)
no subject
And where is 'The Cooler'?
no subject
Like this one.]
The question is irrelevant. The Cooler is here. We are here. That is all the data that matters.
no subject
[It's expected. After all, even these questions were probably a form of test. Let's see who asks what questions to find out who's going to be a problem.
Darius certainly plans to be an inquisitive problem.]
What are we being tested for, and what sort of tests should we be expecting?
no subject
[What matters to LACUNA and her programmers would differ wildly to what their subjects would find important. Besides, these questions have vastly different answers even in regards to the people already assembled.
Files are always going to be notated. :)]
The tests will be varying. I am certain that you will think that everything is a test.
no subject
Ah, but will everything be a test?
[He's pretty sure he knows what she's going to say.]
no subject
I know you've already answered why we're here and where we are, but can you please answer what you mean when our needs will be met? I doubt that all of us have the same needs.
no subject
The needs of all Initiates will be met adequately. Do you have a specific request, Initiate?
no subject
Well, what about our emotional needs? Physical and mental needs are all well and good, but if you ignore our emotional desires and needs, then you risk a lot of trouble.
no subject
LACUNA. [Her voice betrays her uncertainty.] How did we get here?
[She doesn't remember and while she doesn't doubt that she might have signed something putting her here... for some reason or another, Yuna wonders what it's truly for. Tests or so she's over heard but for what reason.
What is the end goal of all of this?
Question after question buzzes through Yuna's head as uncertainty slips like ice into her stomach.]
no subject
[If there is a way that an AI could be annoyed by stupid questions, yep, this is LACUNA's tone.]
no subject
no subject
You're not getting your way by making demands, sorry Grace.
"If you do not have an actual question, I would suggest that you and your group move into the residential area that has opened up as of late, Initiate Barrows."
no subject
There, LACUNA, was that enough of a question for you?
