TRIALS & TRIBULATION↴ After a day of cleansing and processing, where all the belongings and attire of their old lives are stripped away and replaced with something newer and more form fitting, the former members of the carnival will find themselves let loose into the Farm for the first time. A sizable green area, filled with orchards growing inorganic looking fruits and field ready for tending, the Farm is where they will be spending their days for the forseeable future. Food and drink are no longer needed, and so every day is an endless cycle of work. Technicians are seen only when necessary, and when being taken from your place of work to your lonesome cells at night. Every day, there are new postings on the "Production Board", where various dire sound scientific trials ask for subjects. The majority won't be forced, at least not yet, but the system is at work to push its participants to the brink and force their hand. After all, volunteers make the best subjects. ► PRODUCTIVITY: As explained elsewhere, characters will be forced to compete to attain enough Productivity Point to be considered Satisfactory. There are literally not enough points to go around for everyone to attain this, which means that at least some people will be deemed "Below Expectations" by the end of the first four-day cycle. What this means has yet to be discovered, but the Technicians have grimly warned against it. Productivity involves many tasks, including orchard picking, tilling, planting, harvesting, watering, maintenance, and more. Any task you can think of that would take place on a plantation is applicable here. Beyond that, the Production Board awaits you, offering precious Productivity Points in exchange for your cooperation. How you become Satisfactory is up to you, but it's every person for themselves. Only one person can turn in the credit for harvesting or preparing fields, and while you can certainly try to help others by letting them take credit for your work, it's a sure fire way to fall behind the herd, especially if you are already in a low Classification. Fruits and fields will miraculously grow overnight, and will be ready for a new day when you are. You've been told not to eat anything you harvest, but right now you aren't hungry anyway. ► POLARIS BY NIGHT: During the night, you are left alone to your thoughts and maybe an annoying roommate. Solo or in pairs, the entire night will be spent in small sleep pods, as shown on the locations post. Is it possible to sneak out? It doesn't seem like it is, but who is to say? The real question is if you want to dare to try. There is one hour of rest before and after seven hours of darkness. Even if you don't usually have to sleep, you'll find yourself oddly weary and inclined to rest. Supernaturally, almost. ► PARTICIPATION: Sometimes participation in experimental trials is manditory, sometimes it isn't. You are free to handwave your character having been pulled aside for minor examinations, such as blood tests or aura scans. Each time, you will be pulled into a separate part of the station and analyzed by a Technician and heavily automated machinery. Anymore more complex than basic check-up level tests will be posted about in a section called "TRIALS" in the body of the post below. |

"But it doesn't seem like you're all that interested in playing their game." He may not have been watching Shima closely, but he looked around to see enough. "You're not like the others breaking their backs to get to the top. So why'd you sign up for this one?"
no subject
"...I don't have bravery 'n grit like a bunch of people here, I just got really tired of people making my decisions for me before I even got to the Carnival. All the trials before this one sounded like excuses ta probe ya 'n do whatever they like. At least with 'social experiments' ya expect ta be given some choices, since the point's ta see what ya do..."

He glances around pale white walls. “Bet this wasn’t what you were expecting when you signed on with the Carnival, eh? Rin could’ve warned you.”
no subject
...dead?? He makes a vague gesture that might mean 'dead'. Though there was an egg involved so maybe not.
no subject
“About that ... this isn’t the first time the Ringmaster has died.” He pauses, considering how much to say knowing they’re being observed. “She’s apparently part phoenix.” Like that helps the explanation be any less absurd.
no subject
That's fine, aren't they both used to monsters and demons and all kinds of improbable stuff? That explanation makes perfect sense to him.
"...So ya think the Huntsman's still got her?"

"We've all got stuff we're working on right? I guess I'd really rather not get stuck at the bottom after all."
no subject
"Some of us have a shorter way down to the bottom than others." Arguably, he's already at the bottom; sinking lower than that is exactly what they've already been warned against. All the same, the witcher's brow is furrowed, watching Shima with pursed lips.
"If you're already in the red in Zeta, you're never going to dig yourself out of Eta, are you?"
