WEEK 1 EVENT

[shardmods]

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?

Tch.

[ Wolfwood, why are you still trapped?

Let's try aiming for the builder's head next. ]

[polterguide]

[Oh, hey, Bailey can wiggle out, time to be supremely unhelpful!]

Wouldn't aiming for the arm be a better idea?!

[divinevoid]

[ ...logically that would have been a better option for certain, wouldn't it? Ah well. ]

I suppose so.

[polterguide]

Well. I have to give you props for just accepting that's the smarter move and not giving a shit about it.

[are they being sarcastic or genuine? hard to say...]

[divinevoid]

[ They're trying really hard not to laugh, because this isn't the time. ]

...Consider it a sign that I'm focused on the battle and willing to accept constructive criticism.

[guffawsungraciously]

...I would suggest focusing on the arm first so perhaps we can free our other comrades and remove one of its blunt instruments.

[like he doesn't care. but more numbers better.]

[divinevoid]

[ What if they just wanted to smack it in the face? ]

Ah, well. I can certainly adjust my strategy next time.

[guffawsungraciously]

...please.

[he would understand, but like,]

[divinevoid]

Don't worry, I do mean it~

[ ...just in time for the blasted reinforcements, of course. ]

[is2g]

[ dunno but this is funny. ]

[divinevoid]

[ They'll bring it up at least once after this because WW is still stuck, ain't he. ]

[is2g]

[ looks at my 3 and then looks at the incoming next round...

i mean if he survives ig. ]

[divinevoid]

[ Don't you dare. ]

[is2g]

[ i don't make the rules here ]

[hexalding]

[While his third arm is preoccupied, that gives Viktor the freedom to shoot Void an unmistakable look of are you stupid by nature or is it a refined skill?]

[divinevoid]

[ While Viktor shoots them a look, they make a little quip of their own. ]

Keep your eye on the enemy. It'd be a pity if you were smacked around like some sort of toy.
