"Oooh, nice!" Anastasia responded to Hallie's answer about her cat ears.
As she noticed a good amount of people heading somewhere, she ends up following them. There she enters the Rec Room. Everything in her room caught her eye as all of these things were invented long after her time. She admired the pool table, ignoring its depressing appearance. She rolled unto the leather couch, embracing its texture. Last but not least, she headed over to the TV and game console.
"Hey, what's this?" Anastasia asked, pointing at the TV and game console.

So the hosts hate singing, huh... how many of you know the lyrics to "Pangea"? If we can get at least a few people singing, that would make the most priceless look on their faces - wait, would that be a bad idea?

This is about the extent of my singing. Karma tilts her head back and lets out a wolfish howl.
...Um. A television and a game console, I think?

It would be a terrible idea.
I don't know, I like singing sometimes.
Shut up.
Yes. Please do.

"Aw, but it's fun!
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
See? Fun!

"They're pieces of modern technology. A television is used to watch short movies, which are like watching things happening in real life, and a game console is used to play video games, which are games played on a video screen."

Karma didn't howl along to Inez' song, but she did wag her tail to the rhythm.

You probably don't want me to sing, unless your idea of good music is someone who sounds like a caveman who's been gargling broken glass.

I need to keep myself occupied before I go mad here. If anyone's up for a game of pool, I'll be at the table.
Lloyd heads over to the pool table and begins playing, not paying any mind on how poorly-maintained the table itself is.

"There's Horse and Force," Hallie says, "aka 'arrow game' I just said was annoying. But maybe it'll be better with more players."

Hey, horse and force is good. I designed the arrow mechanic personally while in charge of Unidev Game Studio. I thought the... other similar games that exist but are legally distinct from horse and force didn't have enough arrows and didn't emphasize how terrifying a group of longbow archers were to even armored calvary.
the arrow mechanic is bad. You should have made the cities harder to attack in sieges and made calvary harder to kill and made it not just possible but likely to capture a city by winning an infantry battle and cheaper to bribe the gates open.
FUCK YOU DIE
NO YOU
There's the sound of violent struggling over the intercom as neither presses the button to end the conversation.
...Director, they're going to kill each other.
They do thiss all the time. Jusst wait it out, we can fix them if they get too torn up.

Karma is twitching her ears and burying her nose in her tail. She clearly doesn't like this fighting.

So I'm assuming we'll be staying in the cells during the night. Might as well see what those quarters are like.

Bow decides to get some "fresh" air. She doesn't know if the air's actually fresh.

The Cells:
A few people have checked out the cells now. Here is what they're like.
They're grim greyish concrete blocks, coming in two blocks of three and two blocks of four. There's very little privacy. Each has one bunk with thin, cheap sheets, a pillow roughly the size and texture of a hockey puck, and one entire indoor plumbing set. There's exactly enough for everyone plus Lucinda the All-Witnessing, who has somehow ended up in one of the cells in the top right block. One of the cells has a narrow maintenance tunnel, that based on the map, connects to the ventilation and waste disposal area that is otherwise impossible to access without going through "off-limits" doors. None of the other cells have this sort of thing going on. There are no exterior windows.
None of the doors are locked, nor are they lockable. Not that that would really matter, because a dedicated killer could shoot through the bars with something at their target. The problem is, any killer in the corridors that have access would likely be highly visible from the cells.

Any ideas on how to make this... you know... actually secure? And that room with the tunnel... I feel like we'll have discussions about who goes in that room at some point.

Karma joins the others in checking out the cells.
...We could put down something that would show footprints, if we can find some flour or something. Other than that, I wish I had a better idea for *actual* security... and, yeah, that room with the tunnel. If they really want to, since the doors aren't locked or lockable, any of us could get into that room regardless of who's sleeping there. Not sure what you'd do with, um... ventillation and waste disposal, though.
