[network] @Spoiler; SURVEY Day 002 08:00 [open]

[spoileralert]

[ Video ]

[ Steph flashes the camera a smile - she's starving and horribly cold, so it isn't as friendly as it might have been. It fades quickly. She keeps her eyes on the camera, as one accustomed to video phones. ]

Hi. I'm Stephanie, and no, I don't know how we got here, where we are or why we're here. I'm working on those last two, though. So in that interest, I have two requests. The first is that you answer a survey: nothing somebody who kidnapped you wouldn't already know or be able to find out easily. So far I haven't seen that we have much in common with each other. For that matter, it seems like we might not have, like, planets or time periods in common. [ She grimaces apologetically. ] Which is weird, so feel free to take your time with that one.

The second is this: Try to map your location. These are all going to be disconnected for a while, but given time they might come together. There's a program on your tablet that lets you draw pictures - use that. Let's assume that the sun rises in the east and north is up. Uh... if you don't usually have a north that's left-east up-north right-west and down-south. Make a note if you run into someone, and list what you find. That includes those massive snow walls people have been talking about.

On that note, a third thing: don't go wandering out into the snow if you're not sure you'll be able to get someplace warmer before nightfall. People get lost in snow easily, and tend to go a little crazy if they get cold enough. I don't know what last night was about, but it's insane to wander out in the snow at night if you don't have the right gear or know where you're going.

[ Finally she takes a breath and lets it out in a long sigh. She managed to sound pretty professional for a terrified, starving, seventeen year old girl. ]



So that was a mouthful but I'm done now. I'm going to attach the survey as text. Respond however you like, and feel free to ask if you have questions.

One must never discount the possibility of emergencies and ambushes.

[Not that he wants to consider either in this place, but they could happen. This is one of his serious faces, see?]

[spoileralert]

Eh. [ She shrugs carelessly, like there aren't a dozen horrible scenarios in her head that scare the crap out of her. ] We're already pretty screwed. It's kind of a toss up at this point, don't you think?

[pointnshoot]

If they would see me die before my time, I would see them earn it.

[And right back to looking haggard, though with a little more grim determination than he had at the beginning of this conversation. The masters of this place wouldn't be the first to try.]

[spoileralert]

[ Steph grins wickedly. ]

If I go down it'll be kicking and screaming.

[pointnshoot]

[Looks like Bard still has it in him to answer in kind.]

That's more like it.

I shall send you a more detailed list of what I've found and where soon, as well as some record of where I've traveled. Hopefully it will prove useful sooner rather than later.

[As soon as he can figure out how to do most of that stuff. Tablets are hard :<]

[spoileralert]

[ Alas, poor tech newbs. ]

That'll be a big help, thanks.
