WEEK 1 EVENT






The passage of time in this place is not easily tracked, not without a clock of some sort, anyway. The days may even begin to blend together, only occasionally interrupted by confrontations with the robot spiders or discussion with whoever is on the other end of that terminal.

It seems like things won't change any time soon. But something is off today, and some of you may notice it sooner than others.

The mind-numbing drone of the nearby builder going about its work has been with you from the very start. Located behind the terminal and far down below, it was the first sound you heard upon arriving here. It has been arranging walkways in increasingly complicated and baffling designs, extending them ever outwards into space. This much has not changed at all during your time here; the drone of the machinery moving and metal being slotted into place may even have become somewhat comforting background noise.

It is completely silent today.

The skittering of spider robots through the vents or patrolling the area is not heard either, and though the atmosphere remains as gloomy as ever, the lack of sound will undoubtedly be noticeable to some of you. Thankfully, you can still hear; it's simply that the machines have stopped their usual tasks, for whatever reason.

Investigate?

[yeah okay void archives is shooting alright.]

Then carry on with what you are doing. Stay out of its range.

[...what are its weak points. does it have any. he'll observe for now, but if he has to get in closer it might be Shadow Time...]

That I shall. What a pain that it doesn't have any obvious points to exploit thus far other than distance, but striking at its different limbs or taking stock of its composition may reveal it.

[ As far as they're concerned, there are many ways to approach this. They will continue their own strategy as they've stated, however. ]

...I will attempt to get in close if I can to see if there is anything obvious to attack aside from the arms. I do have an ability that should let me avoid its attacks.

How convenient. I suppose I shall keep an eye out for that very moment, then.

[ Maybe wait a tad to even hold their fire...if there's a better weakspot to exploit so that the enemy collapses on itself or something, that'd be perfect. ]

It would be more useful to shoot at its arm, and then I will let you know when to redirect your aim.
divinevoid: (🟨 SMUG)

Just let me know when, I'll be keeping an ear out.

[ Nevermind their next action, but that's fine. ]
