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. |

Even him, which he has to admit is a surprise.
The way she turns pink is pretty adorable, however, and he grins a little more. "It sure does. Why else do ya think I was playin' coy with my hints so much? Ginko is a really easy guy ta give away!"

"Besides, somethin' about the journey and not the destination, right? I think that's a sayin' from somewhere or another. Don't ask me where. We've been ta too many places." He gives an overdramatic sigh. "If only we could've gone ta somewhere with a nice park... I meant ta surprise Ginko with a date actually done on purpose."

"Mnh....well, we're...going to get out of here right?" Carly finds herself insisting quietly, her smile only half its usual strength. "...So...you'll definitely get that sort of date...and I'll be able to think about..."
...Well. About having one herself. Hopefully.

But all the joking has to be placed to the side for one moment, and Joker pauses for a split second. It'd be a lie to say he has any confidence in it. However, sometimes, lies are the things which people need to believe in if they want to keep going.
So, liar that he is, he says, "Of course we're gettin' out. For one thing, most of us are too bleedin' stupid ta give up, and we know that for a fact." See: the Prince's mansion, which was a lesson in all of them stupid-ing their way into a problem and then bullshitting it out in various ways. He's not entirely sure it's a positive, honestly. "So ya better think hard on what kind of date ta surprise him with."

Nod, and then burst into a fit of snorting giggles because, heck, they sure are too dumb to give up.
But Carly smiles...and seems to agree. "...I guess I should, then. ... ...thanks, Joker."

"I'm glad my chattin' can be of some use," he drawls. "Now ya might wanna get some rest. Bein' stupid takes a lot of energy, apparently. Who knew, right?"
