(OPEN) COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD @ STARTER BASE

[shuckit]

▶ WHO: Everyone!!
▶ DATE: July 9th 2015
▶ WARNINGS: none thus far
▶ SUMMARY: A place to share your ic infos, if you please! Thomas is a freaking busy body, and he wants to get all the clues about this place gathered up, so he's going to start writing stuff he's found/woke up with onto a wall in one of the labs, and leave notes around the compound for others to do the same.



[ in one of the lab rooms, you'll find a message (possibly with more messages) scrawled on one of the walls (literally ON TO it, with either pen or a marker). it reads: ]



[ because thomas is super good about being specific. and communicative. but basically, that's what he's posting here - notes. clues, useful information, curious things - information. the advantage the gladers had in getting out of the maze was that they were united, and cooperating for the same goal. thomas doesn't know anyone here, and only has maybe two pieces of what's a much larger puzzle. he needs the rest.

so, around the compound, you'll find scraps of paper that have been taped or pinned to walls (or written directly onto them) that read in the same handwriting: ]

SEE LAB ROOM [[ ROOM NUMBER HERE ]] FOR INFO

IF YOU FOUND SOMETHING, WRITE IT DOWN

[ again, he is awesome at being verbose. if your character decides to investigate the room, they'll find thomas's notes already pinned or written onto the wall, plus whatever is left in the comments below. thomas himself will likely be around more often than not, reading things, scrawling stuff of paper, looking contemplative, or being passed the fuck out in a corner, if they want to bug him. ]


[[ ooc; okay so thomas is a nut, and also i thought we could use an icly set up means for characters to share the clues they woke up with/stuff they found/whatever other information about stuff going down. if you want, put up a top level for the actual note your dude/dudette is leaving, and idk people can tag into it if they want to seek your character out and bug them? or write notes under the note you left? idefk, let's do stuff, go wild???


PS, IF YOU WANT THE TL;DR VERSION OF THIS, i tried organizing an IC list that Thomas would have made over here. It's not perfect, so don't consider that like end all be all, but thought it might help. ]]

Noise? [ murmured quietly. she's curious, really. something he doesn't really get about her, but feels like it's important and he's just missing it.

huh.

either way, she's asking to help, which is what he's here for. ]

Answers, mostly. Outside of that, there's a few things the compound could use. Here--

[ moving away from the board, thomas jogs over to one of the lab tables, digging through a backpack laid there, and comes back with a notebook. opening it up, it has all of the notes thomas has recorded from the message board. ]

If there's anything you can figure out, or fix, go for it.

[enchangement]

[ At his question she gives a little shrug, trying for nonchalant. As long as she's curious and not dangerous then that's for the best. Right?

Right. ]

I don't think there are wolves amongst the sheep. We are all outsiders, here. The answers will be outside too, if there are any.

[ She tilts her head at the notebook, focused on his handwriting before the bits and pieces of reality come through. ]

I can learn these.

[ Cars. Develop film. A brief pause over meds and then she taps it too. ]

Things are different, but I can learn.

Are there guns?

[shuckit]

[ he nods, agreeing with her on that point, and understanding it enough to get it. ]

That's what I'm thinking. The only thing that could help us here would be the computers, but the password for them isn't here, and hacking past it hasn't worked.

[ so, time to go venture outside. she's willing to learn - that's good. that's better than a lot of people go for when they first show up in a situation like this. ]

I can help.

There's a weapons shed, out in the courtyard. Guns and knives and whatever else.

[enchangement]

[ she wonders how difficult it might be to learn such older technology and then dismisses the idea. she doesn't have to do everything. there are other, capable souls around. ]

Will you show me?

[ it's important that he trust her, she's decided. it's important to have others. to not be alone. ]

[shuckit]

[ he blinks a moment, slow, before turning to look around the room. not like anyone else is around that might mess with his stuff. not like he hasn't left the room before either. ]

Sure. Yeah. No problem.

[ grabbing a backpack of the one of the lab tables, he hooks it onto his shoulders and jerks his head, indicating she should follow him as he heads out of the room. ]

[enchangement]

Thank you.

[ she gives him a nod and follows him outside. unlike Thomas she doesn't have any bags, any real 'things' at all, other than her clothes. ]

No one I know is here. I think.

[shuckit]

Same.

[ he mutters it, quietly. there's some sadness there, but it feels like it doesn't even show in his voice anymore. like maybe it's just become part of how he talks. some acceptance of loss that never really stops.

thomas clears his throat, though, and lifts his head back up to glance across his shoulder at her. ]

But you know me now. So there. Not no one.
