[[The houses are now unlocked, so if you were to try the handle again, it would give way. Always be certain to go inside during curfew. You have no reason to stay outside anyway. Were you to look out your window or decide to test the doorknob and venture outside, there is now a building located at the end of the street. It appears to be an arcade/grocer. If you would like to explore the building in detail on your own or with another, inform the land master]]

[[There is a knock at your door.]]

SOLLUX: *He lifts his head from where he had rested it to sleep, groggy but not in an entirely unpleasant way-- it had been so long since he slept so soundly as he had just now, and it hadn't occurred to him that it was a new day until the sound came. Easily, he rose to investigate, stepping to answer the door.*

ROSE: *wasn't sure if she was expecting to see Sollux or something merely resembling Sollux*

SOLLUX: *This is a Sollux.* ... ro2e?

ROSE: That would be me.

ROSE: You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?

SOLLUX: *he recalls the announcement made the prior night, leaning on the doorframe.* 2ome place called "lethargum." why the hell diidn't we 2ee you ye2terday?

ROSE: *shrugs* I honestly cannot answer that.

ROSE: I simply woke up today and found myself in a house with my name on the doormat.

SOLLUX: well, 2hiit. *sighs, and leans out the doorway a little bit to look both ways along the street, before down at his own doormat to toe at it* yeah, 2ame. you check any of the other door2 or wa2 ii your fiir2t 2top?

ROSE: *shakes her head* I noticed several other names: Meulin, Mituna, Jake, Jane, Calliope, Aradia, and Equius.

ROSE: Have you seen them yet?

SOLLUX: *brow dips a little* jake, jane and 2weat2ock diidn't 2how up wiith the re2t of u2, but the other2 are here, ii know.

ROSE: *frowns a little* This is perhaps the most peculiar situation I have ever been in.

SOLLUX: yeah pretty much. *sighs, and purses his lips a little.* ... my headache2 are gone. ii can't hear anythiing.

SOLLUX: that'2 only happened once before and ii'm pretty 2ure my eye2 are 2tiill iin theiir 2ocket2 riight now.

ROSE: I'm sorry to hear that.

SOLLUX: no, iit'2 not a bad thiing.

SOLLUX: my /headache2 are gone./ *the words are a little breathless with relief*

ROSE: Oh.

ROSE: I wonder what caused your headaches to cease.

[[Sollux, you are a headache. Erm, I mean...]]

SOLLUX: iit ha2 two have 2omethiing two do wiith thii2 place. *shrugs*

SOLLUX: [Fuck you<3333333]

ROSE: *nods* You are probably right.

ROSE: I apologize for all of these questions, but have you seen or heard from anyone else whose names are not on the doormats?

SOLLUX: *shakes his head* a2k away. ii haven't.

SOLLUX: do you thiink the other2 wiith doormat2 are gonna 2how up 2oon?

ROSE: Hm...*purses her lips a little in thought* Judging by our own apperances as well as those you were with yesterday, I think they will eventually join us.

SOLLUX: eventually. *sighs through his nose.* 2o there'2 the weiird per2onaliizatiion and the fact that the2e hiive2 are iimpenetratable. *deadpan* even an optiic bla2t wont dent a wiindow.

ROSE: It seems that the nine of us have been isolated from the others and whatever brought us here intends to /keep/ us here.

ROSE: If the interior of each house reflects our interests, I cannot help feeling that this is too "good" to be true if one could refer to this as a good thing.

SOLLUX: *looks at her, and nods almost imperceptibly again* yeah, that'2 what ii fiigured.

ROSE: Have you tried equipping a weapon from your strife specibus yet?

SOLLUX: the voiice2 2toppiing wa2 enough of a clue. *brings both hands to drag down his face as he sighs again* iit'2 never nece22ariily a good thiing. *looks at her* uh.

SOLLUX: ii carry 2huriiken but ii never needed them. *attempts to retrieve them*

[[They are retrieved.]]

SOLLUX: huh. *turns one between his fingers* gue22 that work2.

[[But seem... -pointless-. Doh ho ho ho.]]

SOLLUX: [gtfo<33333333 theyre always pointless jerhbdfnjkm]

ROSE: Intersting...

SOLLUX: not liike they're goiing two do much iif my miind power doe2nt even work on the "gla22." *tucks them away again*

ROSE: *attempts to retrieve her needlewands* I wonder if magic is just as moot as your mind powers.

[[Her needlewands are retrieved. But also give off an air of "why would you use these for anything besides knitting?".]]

ROSE: *points a wand at a random flower and tries to raise it out of the ground*

[[The flower remains where it is.]]

SOLLUX: could alway2 try ii gue22 but ii'm not 2ure there'2 a poiint. *i mean i AM unparallelled in ways d0h0h0. Aside from sparky mctunafish next door.*

SOLLUX: what were you tryiing two do two iit?

SOLLUX: *witnessed the NOTHINGNESS*

ROSE: *frowns and puts the needlewands away* I was trying to determine if they were of any use besides knitting.

ROSE: Evidently, they are not.

SOLLUX: ii mean the flower.

SOLLUX: but yeah.

SOLLUX: *leans on the doorframe, arms crossed and body generally lax. He looks out into the road again, and squints a bit* that buiildiing wa2nt there ye2terday.

ROSE: *turns to look at said building* It wasn't?

SOLLUX: *shakes his head* no. ju2t the2e. *pats the doorframe.* me and miituna triied two do a periimeter check and ju2t wound up back here.

SOLLUX: the2e were the only thiing2 around two 2ee.

ROSE: *sighs* This place is just an enigma which only increases my concern for our wellbeing.

SOLLUX: yeah. but ii gue22 all we can do ii2 eiither 2iit here on our a22e2, or explore what el2e 2how2 up. you wanna head over there wiith me?

ROSE: *nods* I suppose you are right.

ROSE: Let's investigate this new addition to the land.

SOLLUX: cool. *steps languidly out the door, absently closing it behind him and trotting a few steps before waiting for her in the road.*

ROSE: *follows after him, taking one last glance at the houses before returning her attention to him*

SOLLUX: 2hould we 2ee iif anyone el2e ii2 even awake or ju2t go alone and 2ee iif iit'2 even 2afe?

ROSE: Hm. *she looks back at the houses again* I don't see any harm in the strength of numbers here.

SOLLUX: yeah, okay. *looks around for a house to approach, choosing Meulin's simply since it is nearest and easiest. Knock knock*

[[There will be no answer.]]

SOLLUX: *frowns the slightest bit* thiink 2he'2 2tiill a2leep or what?

ROSE: *trails a few steps behind him* It's possible.

SOLLUX: *takes the liberty of jiggling the handle anyway to see if it opened like his own door.*

[[It is open]]

[[The interior is filled with cat plushies, pocky, hookas, anyone a kitty shipper druggie like Meulin would want.]]

[[*Anything]]

ROSE: *steps inside the house and looks around at the stuff before calling out* Meulin, are you here?

[[There is no answer.]]

SOLLUX: *pauses a bit before stepping to look around just a little more, now out of sheer curiosity* let'2 ju2t check around for her or 2omethiing a liittle more. maybe 2he already 2aw the buiildiing or whatever and left.

ROSE: *nods and starts walking around the house, nudging doors open and poking her head inside to look for the unseen troll*

[[She won't be found anywhere, not even her bedroom.]]

SOLLUX: *after a time, he gives up, scratching at his ear* no luck? *calls it a bit because he and Rose had split up*

ROSE: *calls back from the room she's in* Not one bit.

SOLLUX: come on. *calls again, turning to head back towards the door*

ROSE: *frowns to herself because she is supposed to know the best options but she can't seem to tap into that ability*

ROSE: *makes her way over to him* I suppose she is just not here.

[[That's right, Rose. She is just not here.]]

ROSE: [[Did I ask for your sass?]]

SOLLUX: [[No one asks. It's dished anyway.]]

SOLLUX: wanna check anywhere el2e before we go? who know2 who el2e ii2 gone.

ROSE: I hope she okay.

ROSE: she is**

ROSE: I don't see why we should not try.

SOLLUX: alriight. *steps back out into the street, glancing at the houses* eeniie meeniie miiney mo.

ROSE: *just waits for him to choose the next house to snoop in*

SOLLUX: *glances around a bit... before deciding on one with a shrug. The doormat says Jake's name on it*

ROSE: *gives a slight nod in approval since she's familiar enough with Jake and thinks he may be useful in this situation*

SOLLUX: *REACHES FOR DOORKNOB...*

[[It's just a doorknob. It's not on fire.]]

ROSE: *waits patiently for anything to happen*

SOLLUX: *grabs doorknob and turns it, since this house appears to be open like the others. Wow. How very simple. There was no dramatic pause at all.*

[[Yes, the doorknob is unlocked. You're lucky, Sollux. The interior is plastered with movie posters.]]

SOLLUX: wow lame.

ROSE: *her expression falls a little at the reminder of how similar Jake can be to John and she realizes she hasn't even tried contacting her friends yet*

SOLLUX: *There are two kinds of people.*

SOLLUX: yoooo. anybody home? *baps on a wall lazily as he strides inside, as if that'd help much. Maybe Jake showed up like Rose had and was just still inside.*

ROSE: *follows after him and calls out as well* Jake? Are you here?

[[There is a responce from upstairs. It's a britishy voice responding with "Yes, this is Jake English! Who's there?"]]

SOLLUX: *looks up, and gravitates towards a staircase* 2econd try'2 the charm? *tilts his head up to call out his own name and his companion's in reply.*

ROSE: *lets out a little sigh of relief at Jake's voice as she waits at the bottom of the staircase with Sollux*

SOLLUX: get down here, lazy a22! we're goiing exploriing! you liike that 2hiit, riight....? *kind of trails into a mutter*

--

>Jake: Wake

[[You find yourself waking up in a house filled with things that you take interest in: Movie posters, movies themselves, weaponry specifically of the pistol sort. There are even action figures of blue ladies scattered about on the shelves.

There is a giant screen TV, with a DVD player attached also off to the side.

The rest of the house is filled with similar objects that you may desire.

Were you to venture outside, which she would be able to as the houses are currently unlocked, there are nine houses including your own, plus a larger building occupying the end of the street. It appears to be an arcade of some sort, combined with grocer. Should you require more details, or would like to explode the arcade and grocer in detail on your own or with another, inform the land master.]]

[08:04] GT: *Jake stirs, having no recollection of how he came to be sitting asleep in his chair. Straightening up he rubs at his neck before looking at his surroundings* Huh.

[[The sound of a door opening can be heard.]]

[08:05] GT: Now this is decidedly unfamiliar... Where in the world am i? *he stands and turns at the sound, hand darting to his hip subconciously* And what was that?

[[Jake still has all his stuff, so if he had a gun there before, it is still there.]]

[[The sound of a voice can be heard downstairs. It vaguely is asking if anyone is there.]]

[[Another voice is asking if Jake is here.]]

[[The first sounded nasaly and nerdy, the second voice sounds feminine.]]

[08:09] GT: *There's nothing particulary sinister about this room, but something in his gut still tells him to exercise caution. And if he doesn't trust his intuition, he realizes he doesn't have much else to go on right now. Making sure the saftey is off he leaves his weapon holstered for now and crosses to the door, calling as he opens it* Yes, this is Jake English! Who's there?

[[There is some more nasaly muttering, but then, the voice responds that it's Sollux and Rose.]]

[[It then yells that you're a lathy ath, jake, get down here, they're going exploring. You like that thit right?"

[[There is some more nasaly muttering, but then, the voice responds that it's Sollux and Rose.]]

[[It then yells that you're a lathy ath, jake, get down here, they're going exploring. You like that thit right?"]]

[[Lots of lisping. It's quite obnoxious.]]

[[Sollux and Rose wait for you at the bottom of the stairs.]]

>Jake: Join Sollux and Rose

JAKE: *Moving out onto the landing Jake looks over the bannister to see the two familiar figures, and gives then a half-hearted wave* Oh, it's you two! Uh, what was that about exploring?

SOLLUX: *sets his hands on his hips and looks up* there'2 a buiildiing down the road that wa2n't here ye2terday. much liike both of you guy2. we're goiing two check iit out. you iin?

JAKE: *Looks around at this strange house, then back down at them as he starts jogging down the stairs to join then* Hold on a second there my good fellow, a new building? What about this new building? Whats going on?

ROSE: We don't quite know yet.

SOLLUX: you thiink eiither of u2 ha2 an explanatiion? *arches brow like 'really?'* that'2 what we're goiing two fiind out.

SOLLUX: or try anyway.

JAKE: *Adjusts his glasses a little* I see. Well then, be dashed silly of me not to come, wouldnt it?

SOLLUX: ba2iically.

JAKE: *starts for the door* Tell me everything you do know as we walk, if youd be so kind?

JAKE: For example, nothing... particularly out of sorts has happened, has it?

ROSE: Apparently we are in a place called Lethargum.

SOLLUX: 2ure thiing, bucko. *sighs a little again, and turns to head for the door once more.* beiing here at all ii2 out of 2ort2.

JAKE: *turns the doorknob and looks out* Lethargum, you say...

SOLLUX: there'2 a curfew at eiight. we have untiil then two explore. that'2 more than enough tiime.

SOLLUX: the door2 lock them2elve2...

SOLLUX: *makes kind of a face*

[[Since Jake hasn't actually looked, every house has a tree and welcome mat. If he were to look down he would see that his name is written on the mat in front of his door.]]

ROSE: *frowns since she she did not know that yet*

JAKE: *Gets a good look of this postcard of a tiny town, then the doormat that bares his name, then back at them both* A curfew? Imposed by whom?

SOLLUX: we don't know that yet. *squares his shoulders a little and continues to walk* there wa2 an announcement. you mii22ed iit, ii gue22.

SOLLUX: there mu2t be 2peaker2 around. ii 2hould try and tap iintwo them 2omehow. *sigh**much sighing*

JAKE: *Deciding that prudence be damned he marches out into the middle of the road, puts one hand over his eyes and looks out to see how far the road goes* And whos all here with us at present? You said there were others, i believe.

SOLLUX: aradiia, miituna, calliie, meuliin. jane 2hould be here. other than that, all we know ii2 that the2e hiive2 were per2onaliized two u2, and they're iimpo22iible two break. al2o, we can't leave wiithout beiing turned around.

SOLLUX: 2ound2 way freakiier than iit look2 doe2nt iit.

ROSE: In short, we may be here for a while with only each other for company.

SOLLUX: pretty much! *claps his hands once, letting his arms swing somewhat freely back to his sides. It's clear he's less tense than usual despite it all.*

JAKE: *Lets his hand drop limply to his side, far less relaxed about proceedings* Bloody helll... All seems a bit 1984 if you ask me!

SOLLUX: 2ay what.

JAKE: Big brother! Its a book, about *lowers his voice and hisses* About a dystopian, controlling soceity!

SOLLUX: *looks at him calmly* dude ii don't thiink anyone2 gonna hear you. pretty 2ure no one2 gonna 2niipe you for 2ayiing that. iit'2 probably true.

ROSE: *or are they?*

JAKE: Well then... So youre telling me were really stuck here? With no outside communication? *goes for his phone in his pocket*

SOLLUX: *I dunno I didn't have a vision about him dying via sniper SO HE MUST LIVE...*

SOLLUX: *looks at him and remembers that he has a couple communication devices, too...* oh riight.

ROSE: I haven't trid contacting anyone who is not already here yet, but by all means, be my guest.

ROSE: tried**

JAKE: *snorts quietly, logging into the chat client and scrolling down*

SOLLUX: *debates whether he should message anyone... and eventally says fuck it and pulls out his headset from his sylladex to scroll his own client.*

[[The phones are definitely there, but the contacts they have that are online aren't recognizable. But somehow they seem familiar.]]

JAKE: ...You lot seeing what im seeing?

SOLLUX: uh. *scrolls a little more as if he misread* yeah ii. what.

JAKE: These arent my friends!

ROSE: *takes out her own phone to check pesterchum only to furrow her brow in confusion* Hm.

[[Or are they your friends? We ju st don't know.]]

ROSE: No, they don't seem to be our friends...

JAKE: But- Blow me if they dont look like ive seen them before... Perhaps if we tried one?

SOLLUX: ii'll do iit.

SOLLUX: *warily clicks on a name and sends out a, "TA: hello?"*

ROSE: *puts her phone back into her pocket*

JAKE: *nods and does the same, walking a little closer to sollux to peer over his shoulder*

SOLLUX: *I'm wearing this thing on my face, dude.*

ROSE: *respects his personal space and just waits for him to say something*

SOLLUX: *Luckily! There is a projector on the visor.*

JAKE: *still kind of all up in his grill, but takes a step back*

SOLLUX: ... *lets out strangled and confused noises*

SOLLUX: d...uh, wh--

ROSE: What's wrong?

SOLLUX: ii d... the...

JAKE: Is something the matter?!

SOLLUX: deriikohn amplonde the fuck ii what daii2iie2 why.

SOLLUX: *massively confused*

ROSE: *frowns* Maybe we should refrain from trying to contact these people now.

SOLLUX: *wheezes a little in entrapped confusion* ii'm--

SOLLUX: what.

JAKE: Amplonde... No that sounds like somethings gone proper titsup alright!

JAKE: You alright there sollux? Perhaps a walk to see this building you mentioned would help?

SOLLUX: *somebody get this thing off his head he's so confused. hands; ascend* what the 2hiit ii2 happeniing riight now--

ROSE: That seems to be a recurring question among us.

JAKE: *takes the initiative when his stress becomes clearly more than simple confusion and reaches to pop the thing off* Good god man, whats wrong?

JAKE: What about daisies??

SOLLUX: *blinks and stares at the device that's now in Jake's hands, face twisted with unease.* that wa2 the triippiie2t thiing ii have experiienced two date and iive done 2ome weiird 2hiit alriight.

SOLLUX: ii don't even know how two explaiin what ju2t happened you need two read the. giive me that. *reaches for it again*

JAKE: *surrenders the device without question*

SOLLUX: *pulls up the conversation, only to see that more had been said, and he hunches a little forward in sick distress* wh-- !?!? *y'all can see this now, he switched the projection.*

ROSE: *blinks in confusion at the conversation* What.

JAKE: *scans the lines with growing confusion, and perhaps a little dread* Seems like we wont be hearing anything sensical from them then.

SOLLUX: *when he's sure that they've read it and he can put the thing away, he does, hastily and quickly pulling himself together to turn towards the building again. His words are a little less carefree.* let'2 keep goiing.

ROSE: Perhaps we should focus more on exploring the new building rather than dwelling on this.

JAKE: *Nods and follows after* So, one other question comes to mind - These dwellings, do them seem, well.

JAKE: Rather like they were made for us to you?

SOLLUX: yeah ii kiinda 2aiid that before when ii 2aiid they were per2onaliized for u2. *sorry Jake he's snippy when he trips balls.*

JAKE: *indicates over his shoulder with one thumb as they walk* Yes, i know theyve got all the things we like, but its obviously too perfect!

JAKE: Someones been spying on us, id say.

ROSE: We think that as well.

SOLLUX: *continues walking somewhat briskly, finally approaching the building.*

JAKE: *turns more to her as they approach* Do you have any educated deductions you could make, miss lalonde?

ROSE: I think someone, or rather, something is trying to confine us to this supposedly "perfect" enviornment.

ROSE: For whatever reason they want us here, I do not know yet.

SOLLUX: obviiou2ly two 2eparate u2 from the group and fuck wiith u2 come on lalonde do you really thiink that 2omeone other than the bulgeweed2 weve been at war wiith thii2 whole tiime could have done thii2?

SOLLUX: yeah a real my2tery. *kind of stomps towards the building to enter it sorry Rose didn't mean to snap again*

ROSE: *narrows her eyes at him but chooses not to retort since she does not think conflict will help anyone here*

JAKE: *exchanges a "What a grump!"look with her, pats her on the shoulder briefly then hurries after sollux towards the door*

SOLLUX: *Yes. What a grump. Won't last long.*

[[The building is quite vast. The entryway has lots of colorful paper cut out anime characters, declaring how awesome this place is and how many prices and values it contains. The grocer is to your left, and the arcade is to your right.]]

ROSE: *looks around curiously to observe their surroundings* I don't know what I was expecting.

ROSE: However, this seems a little too normal.

[[You mean it seems a little too fantabulous. I mean come on it's a dream come true.]]

SOLLUX: *had paused before the walkway split.* doe2 iit 2eem biigger on the iin2iide two you kiind of. *probably isn't. just looks that way because all he'd ever known were small shops in the city before palaces came into play.*

JAKE: *flicks a cutout as he passes, is reminded of things he'd rather not be and turns away* Perhaps a little?

JAKE: But it seems like an odd sort of shop to me i must say.

[[The cutout falls over]]

SOLLUX: whiich way do we go? food, or game2? *looks at cutout and goes silent*

SOLLUX: ...

ROSE: ...

SOLLUX: *looks up at Jake silently*

JAKE: *puts his hands up and grins apologetically before hurriedly kneeling down to set it back up* Just checking its real!

ROSE: It's a cardboard cutout...

SOLLUX: a fake cardboard cutout. that2 what you choo2e two be wary of.

SOLLUX: how could a cardboard cutout be fake. diid you thiink iit wa2 2teel. or alumiiniium.

SOLLUX: iit'2 cardboard.

JAKE: *stands back up looking very red* Listen, rather than get stuck on this lets take a gander at the grocers first, shall we?

JAKE: *i don't want to talk about my FEELINGS*

SOLLUX: *turns to the grocers* yeah 2ure whatever. *starts'a'walkin'.*

ROSE: *follows after him* Is anyone even in here or is this just as vacant as our houses?

[[The grocery store is large and seems to span forever. There also appears to be only a single person at a register. Carts for grocer goods are near the store enterance.]]

SOLLUX: *he bypasses the carts and looks over at the person at the register* look over there. *points*

ROSE: *eyes the person at the register suspiciously*

[[The person is smiling. They also are completely indescribable in appearance, they are so plain in every way.]]

JAKE: *frowns a little and whispers* How much you want to wager theyre as useless as old amplonde?

ROSE: *still suspicious*

ROSE: I would rather them be useless than dangerous.

SOLLUX: *the person is unnerving for the same reasons the chat he had had earlier was, and he takes a deep breath before choosing to deal with this head on.* one way two fiind out.

SOLLUX: hey, *calls it a little as he gets closer, half jogging a few steps to meet them, because if he didn't move a little faster he might not get there at all.*

ROSE: *trails after him, not particularly wanting to get that close to the person in the first place*

JAKE: *She's got him there, so after peering down the aisles for a few seconds he makes his own move towards them, feeling oddly self-concious as he approaches* Uh yes, beg pardon!

[[The person continues to smile]] Why hello there! [[Do they have troll horns? They might. It's hard to tell if they're human or a troll]] How may I help you?

ROSE: *still eyeing them suspiciously* ...

JAKE: *thinking very hard how to phrase this in a way that won't trigger more horror movie creepiness*

SOLLUX: *feels his breath hiss out of his mouth in a distressed 'hhhhh.....'* uh. yeah, can you tell u2 what the fuck ii2 goiing on? where are we, how diid we get here, and why the fuck are you 2o 2miiley.

JAKE: *well then*

SOLLUX: *DISTRESSED INTERROGATING*

JAKE: *Sure, that'll work*

ROSE: *shrugs* *It does work in a way*

SOLLUX: *sollux captor: facing danger HEAD ON. dohoho.*

You are inside a grocery store, and you walked in here. And I am smiling because I enjoy my job, and I am pleased to work here.

ROSE: Why are we here in Lethargum?

[[Looks confused.]] Excuse me?

ROSE: *bites her cheek to hold back "You useless piece of ignorant shit"*

ROSE: *takes a step closer* I trust you heard me correctly.

JAKE: *Attempts to keep things pleasant but not creepy it's quite a task* What we mean to ask sir- or madam?

I just don't understand. How would you get to Lethargum unless you traveled here on your own?

JAKE: Oh gosh im sorry, um- What we want to know is, we didnt come here on purpose, if you understand me, so we want to know more about this place!

SOLLUX: *has less patience than Jake and one of his eyes may or may not be twitching*

ROSE: *crosses her arms and shamelessly glares at them* We did no such thing and we wish to leave if that was not obvious enough.

JAKE: *winces because they're really going to piss off the powers that be now - he's seen enough films and is genre savvy enough to know this isn't going to be that easy*

SOLLUX: *doesn't give a shit about horror movie tropes and just wants fucking answers* gonna cut the 2hiit or not?

[[The person seems unphased by their lack of patience.]] I assure you there is no shit to be cut. I honestly have no idea how you would get here that didn't require traveling here on your very own.

SOLLUX: *resisting urge to strangle*

ROSE: *rolls her eyes in mild irritation* You were correct, Jake. This person is just as helpful as Amplonde.

SOLLUX: let'2 go, *roughly turns away* not takiing thii2 crap.

JAKE: *sighs* Id rather i be wrong in this case, i assure you!

JAKE: *hesitates like he has more questions, but somehow can't be bothered and heads off after him*

Goodbye! I hope you find what you are looking for in our store!

ROSE: *doesn't know how she feels about turning her back on this person, but decides to follow after the other two soon enough*

SOLLUX: *flips the person off with a high-held hand*

ROSE: Does anyone know what time it is?

ROSE: Or rather, what would happen if we are not back in our houses by eight?

JAKE: *checks his watch* I havent the foggiest!

SOLLUX: no one know2. not 2ure ii really wanna fiind out. *mutters to himself in annoyance about the people they'd run into today*

JAKE: Id have to agree with you there, at least until we know more about this bizarre place. So you think retreat to our respective residences, then re-convene in the morning?

ROSE: I am open to either suggestion, however, if it is closer to our enforced curfew, I think we should choose the former.

SOLLUX: nobody here ii2 goiing two an2wer our que2tiion2, we're goiing two have two fiind out our2elve2 iif we want two know. *sighs, aggitated.* anybody up for a game of hooky or 2hould ii try iit my2elf.

JAKE: *Ponders for a second* Well, we know that the doors lock, and thats about it. Perhaps if we made sure wed be comfortable we could make a camping trip of it?

JAKE: *a little quieter* Id rather not wander back into that place by myself, if its all the same to you. Strength in numbers, and all that!

SOLLUX: 2o you wanna ju2t 2tay here? 2ee iif there2 2ome campiing gear iin the outdoor aii2le? *snorts* ii gue22 iit'2 a liittle better than 2tandiing on the 2treet untiil 8:01.

SOLLUX: or wor2e.

SOLLUX: eiither way.

ROSE: *gives a little shrug* I suppose there is only one way to find out if there are any consequences other than being locked out of the houses.

SOLLUX: alriight... then ii gue22 we're wiingiing iit. let2 look for 2ome food. *god, it's like The Mist.*

JAKE: *Oh, jake loves that one! but then he loves all of them, doesn't he? With a weak salute he darts back into the store, very much avoiding eye contact with the shop keeper as he begins to look for anything they might be able to use*

[[Basically anything you can think of can probably be found in this store, if it's food related. Anything non-food, ask the land master.]]

ROSE: *makes a face at the person at the register when she walks back inside before looking for non-perishable foods*

SOLLUX: *Has never gone camping. Doesn't know what the fuck camping entails. Humans, ask for me. 8( *

ROSE: *Can we find flashlights?*

[[Yes, there are flashlights.]]

ROSE: *What about matches?*

[[Yes, matches are also there. Basically anything small that you would use in cooking anyway.]]

JAKE: *trooping along he doesn't find anything like tents or sleeping bags, but does come across a hot-plate, some candles and a sturdy paring knife that he considers uneasily for a moment before stowing away*

[[Jake asked about these things in a sidechat so it is approved.]]

ROSE: *picks up three flashlights and a pack of matches before continuing to look for anything useful*

SOLLUX: *Looks around for blankets and pillows, he supposes. Gotta sleep somewhere.*

[[There aren't any blankets and pillows.]]

ROSE: *hope you boys like canned vegetables, whoops*

JAKE: *With an armfull of everything potentially useful he can find he realizes he's totally lost sight of the others. shifting some things around he puts his fingers to his mouth and whistles*

[[The lights flicker.]]

ROSE: *looks up at the whistle and navigates her way through the store to find him*

JAKE: *cringes, hoping that wasn't his fault*

SOLLUX: *pauses, sighing. He's gathered miscellaneous supplies and is holding them in his arms by time he reaches the two humans again. Can he have found string cheese?*

[[Yes, String Cheese is food, so he can have as much as he wants.]]

ROSE: What did we manage to find so far?

SOLLUX: 2triing chee2e. *shrugs*

ROSE: *holds up the matches and flashlights, mumbling something along the lines of "Let there be Light."*

CTT ceased responding to memo.

[[I have been informed she is BRBing]]

JAKE: ((yes, please hold for lalondes))

JAKE: *tries very hard not to comment on the usefulness of cheese and smiles at rose as he holds up the candles* Jolly good!

JAKE: Now lets find a place to set up base and get on with the preparations!

CURRENT tenaciousTanquam [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

ROSE: Should we bother paying for this stuff first?

ROSE: ...If we even have money.

JAKE: *hadn't thought that far ahead* Well, i suppose we could try.

JAKE: Cant say i feel much inclined to though!

SOLLUX: you 2eriiou2ly thiink we need two pay for 2hiit.

SOLLUX: liike youre worriied about theft accu2atiion2.

ROSE: Not particularly, but I am rather worried about meeting our demise over a camping trip.

SOLLUX: and payiing for the 2uppliie2 ii2 gonna 2pare u2 thii2 demii2e?

SOLLUX: let2 ju2t fiind 2omewhere two 2et up.

ROSE: Very well then.

JAKE: *looks around and selects an aisle that is so filled with cans it forms a solid wall and begins forming a little pile of everything he's found* 'Friad this is going to be a bit of a rough job, but well see what we can do!

ROSE: *gives each of them a flashlight and adds the matches to the pile*

JAKE: *pops open a can of something vaguely pineapple looking, sticks the candle in so it will stand up straight, then lights it. instant candle holder!*

SOLLUX: *knows that he could have provided some light, but is fine with not working too hard.*

JAKE: *yeah man save your brain for later. At any rate, jake proceeds with what he's doing until there are a row of little lights. can't hurt to be sure, and it's a little reassuring anyway* So, should we take it in turns to watch? When the time comes, i mean.

ROSE: *nods* I don't see a problem with that plan.

JAKE: *opens another can, this time of soup and places it neatly on the heatplate thing before handing them both spoons* Excellent! I volunteer myself then.

SOLLUX: nah, dude. you guy2 can chiill, ii got iit.

SOLLUX: ii got liike. two much 2leep la2t niight, ii'm wiide awake riight now. totally alert.

ROSE: *takes the spoon and thanks him before setting down her own can of mixed vegetables down in front of them* Are you sure?

SOLLUX: yeah, ii'm po2iitiive.

JAKE: *removes his jacket and offers it wordlessly to rose with an expression that clearly brokers no arguement* Very well, just make sure to wake one of us once you start to feel yourself nodding off!

ROSE: *thanks him again for the jacket and puts it on herself despite it being way too big for her* I'll take the next shift if or when you need a break, Sollux.

JAKE: *his avatar tshirt is now fully on display as he tucks into some preserved maraschinos*

[[There are footsteps as Meulin and Mituna enter the grocer. Jake, Rose, and Sollux are somewhere in the aisles, camping out.]]

PAST trojanAbstruse [PTA] 6:12 HOURS AGO responded to memo.

MITUNA: *He follows Meulin into the grocery store, stuffing the phone back into his pocket. He scans the area looking for any sign of life.*

CURRENT amoreCimmerian [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

MEULIN: ANYONE ELSE HERE????????? BESIDES THE WORKER????????

[[The register worker smiles at her.]]

JAKE: *looks up with a mouthful of cherries* Hruh??

MITUNA: a7 5ome poin7 you learn 7o 7une i7 ou7 bro haha *Makes his way to his dancestor. Hey dude*

SOLLUX: *nods at his dancestor* hey. yeah ii gue22 ii'm ju2t tryiing two get u2ed two the lack of 2creamiing. *smiles crookedly at him, hinting a little before he says it outright again.*

JAKE: Were out here on a bit of an edeavour, actually! And what about you, miss leijon?

MEULIN: i just got done playing DDR at the arcade!!!!!!!! *is also carrying a bunch of grocery bags still as well as a giant cup of cola*

MITUNA: haha yeah i didn7 know how i7 fel7 7o ac7ually be able 7o 7hink, i75 fucking wonderful man

MITUNA: *takes note of the two humans around them. One was vaguely familiar, and the other. Well who the hell is this guy?*

JAKE: *doesn't comment on the ddr and instead focuses properly on the troll he knows least* And you must be mituna! Weve spoken over the net before, i believe? Though that was quite some time ago.

MITUNA: *Eyes up this guy and cracks a grin* haha jake righ7 wow you look like a bigger dork 7han i 7hough7 you would

MITUNA: *Tuna that's rude.*

MEULIN: ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?????????? *looks around for a clock*

ROSE: *shakes her head* No, unfortunately we do not. That's why we decided to camp out here rather than return to the houses which are probably locked.

MITUNA: i checked my phone earlier bu7 7he 7ime i5 fucked 7wen7y way5 7o doom5day

SOLLUX: dont cliick anyone on your cliient.

MITUNA: why no7

JAKE: *chuckles good naturedly* *Yes, thats what my friends said when we saw each other for the first time too.* Just dont, trust us!

JAKE: Its a bit of a mind bender.

[[By the way, any clocks you look at won't be readable. It will feel like you should be able to read it, but at the same time, you won't be able to tell. Like staring at a paragraph of words for too long and not being able to read anything as a result.]

MITUNA: *already fumbling in his pocket for his phone. Fuck you I won't do what you tell me*

ROSE: You don't want to do that, Mituna.

MITUNA: why 7he fuck no7 all im hearing i5 7ha7 i 5houldn7 and no one i5 giving me a good fucking rea5on

MEULIN: *decides to sit down with them then* I wonder what will happen if we stay past curfurew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they said it wasnt a big feal!!!!!!

ROSE: The people you talk to will only spurt nonsense.

SOLLUX: want a rea2on? here. *reaches for his own device again to pull up the conversation he'd had.*

ROSE: Additionally, they are not even your friends.

SOLLUX: *Will show tunamun in private to avoid clutter?*

[[Yes.]]

JAKE: *shakes his head gloomily as he sits back down*

MEULIN: *pulls out some of her pocky and munches away happily*

MITUNA: *muffled tunamun in the distance. Mituna looks at the phone then back to his dancestor and repeats the action a few more times before his face scrunches up in frustration and confusion* wha7 kind of 5hi7fuckery i5 7hi5

ROSE: *shrugs* We simply don't know, yet. *takes another spoonful of soup*

MEULIN: *leans her back against the shelves behind her* it fleally weird but i cant compurlain too much about any of this!!!!!!!!

MITUNA: ha5 anyone even heard from callie or aradia 7oday

ROSE: ...*sets her spoon down and just stays quiet as she covers wraps Jake's jacket around her more*

[[Soothing scents waft through the atmosphere. They came so slowly, it's not likely anyone noticed. But they are relaxing. Oh are they relaxing.]]

SOLLUX: *looks down, thinking of how he didn't want to mix Aradia into the potential danger of camping out, but then realizes that he hadn't even thought of her until now. It might trouble him if he didn't feel so calm.* no.

MEULIN: *must be catnip*

MITUNA: *He's calm now. He can hardly even remember why he was upset.* wha7ever im 5ure 7heyre fine, yeah we 5hould find ou7 wha7 happen5 af7er curfew *looks towards the humans and offers an apologetice grin* 5orry for doing a 5even 7wen7y off my pan 7here

SOLLUX: iit'2 cool, dude. *absently pats his shoulder*

JAKE: *breathes in deeply, something in the scent reminding him of being very safe, something he attributes to the candles* Yes, its quite alright, old chap. Were all a little shaken, im sure.

MEULIN: *offers pockey to everyone* want some pockey??????????

MITUNA: 5o when are we 5uppo5ed 7o know when curfew i5 if we can7 even 7ell 7he 7ime

ROSE: *leans against the shelves behind her and watches the small flames of the candles flicker slightly, letting out a soft sigh as she relaxes*

JAKE: *eyes drifting close without his noticing* Well... the candles are supposed to last a few hours... We could *yawn* keep an eye on those?

SOLLUX: no clue. maybe there2 another anouncement or 2omethiing liike la2t niight.

MEULIN: i would guess so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JAKE: *settles more comfortably against the wall* So... just have to bally well sit and wait then.

SOLLUX: yep. *shifts where he is, resting both hands back on the ground behind him.* whenever you guy2 wanna 2leep ii'm on watch duty or whatever.

[[There are three loud dings over the speakers.]] It is now 8pm. Curfew is beginning. Please return to your homes.

MITUNA: oh 5hi7

SOLLUX: *looks up, but does not move to get up* here we go.

MEULIN: *slouches a little more* we got this guys!!!!!

JAKE: *nods, but whether through sleepiness or agreement, it is not clear*

MITUNA: *Tuna jitters a bit excitedly. Finally, they're were going figure /something/ out*

ROSE: *brings her knees up to her chest and rests her chin on top of them* Let the games begin.

MITUNA: may 7he odd5 be ever in your favor lol amiri7e

SOLLUX: *snoooort.*

ROSE: *chuckles a little*

[[The sound of honking can be heard outside.]]

JAKE: *jolts back uneasily into wakefulness. he doesn't have a very good history with clowns*

MEULIN: *sits up at the sound of the honking* (=O.O=)

ROSE: *sits up straighter as well but doesn't quite know what to say yet*

MEULIN: *pushes herself up to see if she can see anything outside*

[[Where are you looking? There are no windows in here.]]

SOLLUX: *actually quite chill. go figure.* iit2 onnnnn 2uckaaaa... *mutters to self, because he failed to not think about his own moirail. 8( *

MITUNA: *looks to his dancestor and flashes him a grin before muttering under his breath* i75 all up and mo7herfuckin on now bro7her

SOLLUX: eheheheheh.

MEULIN: i wonder whats going on out there....*twitches a little at the honking*

JAKE: Somehow i think its all part of the devilry going on here. Best not to pay it any mind.

JAKE: *or so he keeps telling himself*

MITUNA: 7here5 li7erally only one way 7o find ou7 *begins to make his way to the entrance of the store*

MEULIN: *follows catiously behind cause ok mysterious honking*

SOLLUX: guh. *gets up to follow, walking in step with him if not a little ahead. I will check. 8c *

[[There's a clown standing right there outside the door of the building. He's smiling at the group. He gestures for them to open the door.]]

MITUNA: *He reaches the door and pauses, hesitant*

MITUNA: lol check 7hi5 5crublord

MEULIN: *gives the clown the stink eye* *imposter*

MITUNA: *Nervous chuckling*

ROSE: *is left behind with Jake and would rather stay behind than find the source of the honking*

ROSE: Why do we even have curfew?

You'll get tired, and fall asleep somewhere gross and potentially catch a cold!

And we can't have that. We don't have a hospital yet.

JAKE: *darts back into cover and swears creatively for about 40 seconds*

SOLLUX: pretty 2ure we'll be fiine here.

[[ This clown thought that this group was supposed to like clowns. ]]

[[ Where is the cherub when you need her. ]]

MITUNA: *Tuna grins. I only like one clown motherfucker*

JAKE: *reaches the end of the chorus and peeks out again* Luvaduck!

MITUNA: *Oh hells yeah they do*

SOLLUX: *We make a smashing team.*

MEULIN: *almost feels bad for the clown*

SOLLUX: *Don't.*

[[ The clown has been pushed out. Sorry guys, but you just missed out on some very choice rewards, one of which being a possible clue to getting out of here. Too late now, though, the clown is walking off.]]
