[Locked to Luceti residents]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

Here's hoping! Come to think of it pancakes might not be a bad idea. Easy to make, filling, they would be pretty good to have when things get tight. Or at least I think they would be good, I dunno, I've never had to ration stuff like this before.

[stilldontgotit]

I think that goes for a lot of us. We're so used to privilege that stuff like this throws us through a loop.

Then again, I at least showed up before this place had electricity, but... that's a completely different story.

[castbytheglyph]

I'm talkin' about not habing to ration stuff when you've been in the place without any zappyzap stuff?! Whoah whoah, slow down! [How did you cope?! She wants to hear this story!]

Tell me, tell me! What were things like way back then?

[stilldontgotit]

You know, it's been so long that I can't remember it perfectly. What I do know is that things were way more inconvenient. Without power, there were no refrigerators. The only lights were candles. No battle dome, no video games...

It was pretty bare bones, honestly.

[castbytheglyph]

Sounds like things were pretty dull all that time ago. Too bad I wasn't around, I coulda whipped up some sort of shiny thing so there wouldn't be candle wax all over the place! Juuust one question...

What's a video game? Is that like Shot Cube?

[stilldontgotit]

That all depends on what Shot Cube is. As for video games... You play them with a TV and game console. All the action happens up on the screen, and you control the characters using different buttons and usually a joystick.

[All on a controller, but yes. Video games in a nutshell.]

[castbytheglyph]

Shot Cube is this puzzle gamey thing you can play back in the Amarcian Enclave! You use a shotstaff to ka-pow these blocks of ice together, but you really need to use your noggin' or you're going to mess up.

[Forget that though, video games sound pretty interesting! Even if she has no idea what a TV or a games console are.]

Sooo wouldja happen to have any of these video game things with you? I wanna take a look ASAP! [Before the refugees start piling in and all hell breaks loose. Video games > refugees. PRIORITIES.]

[stilldontgotit]

I don't have any on hand, but I know the Rec Center's got a few. Should be pretty easy to spot-- just look for a big screen and a smaller machine close by.

[Heh.]

But, by the sound of it, Shot Cube's closer to the kind of games you'd find at a carnival.

[castbytheglyph]

Big screen, small machine. Gotcha.

[Small machine huh. Pascal is going to have a ball when she gets her hands on it.]

I guess... Hey yeah, it is! You even get prizes when you clear a whole bunch of those things! It's not like you have to pay to do it though, it's just a fun way to pass time back home. Puzzles are awesome, y'know?
