Daycycle 132 [Mar 26 - Apr 1]

daycycle 132

[Mar 26 - Apr 1]





[OOC Plotting for this Daycycle can be found here.]


Early, Early Morning [0000 - 0600]

At 0400, Clint Barton and Parker will be arrested and charged with treason. All former roommates will be questioned for several hours before being sedated and returned to their room before 0600. Former roommates in question will not remember the arrests or their questioning when they wake, though they may feel the lingering active effects of the sedative for several hours into their day.

The memory of those arrested ever being at Alpha will be erased with varying degrees of success from all those they came into contact with.


Morning [0800 - 0900]All Troubleshooters Report for Duty

No Specials have been selected for today's mission.




Afternoon [0900 - 1600]Service Firm Positions

All Troubleshooters not assigned a mission should report to their Service Firm for their daily duties, unless specifically assigned a different shift.

At 1000, it will be discovered that certain foods distributed among the Citizens have been contaminated with an unknown opiate, most likely by the Mystic Secret Society. Unfortunately, this discovery takes place after breakfast has already been served and effects all clearance levels and citizens, including Specials. Only some may have ingested the contaminated food, but the side effects that have been observed so far include, but are not limited to:

Euphoria
The inability to falsify information.
Drastic and almost impossible mood swings, from pure elation to devastating depression or anger in a matter of seconds.
Elation only
Moodiness only
Psychedelic symptoms, such as seeing colors or moving pictures
A nearly uncontrollable urge to keep moving
Lethargy
Random thinking/Inability to focus
Spontaneous giggling

And others.

An investigation has been opened to look into possible suspects to be held responsible, but until then it is advised that Citizens make an effort to avoid contaminated food, although it isn't possible to tell the difference between tampered stock and untampered stock.




Evening [1600 - 2200]Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.




Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.



Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

nepetrushka: (Bucky | Annoyed)

It's taken a long time for Barnes to get back to being Bucky, and he still doesn't feel exactly like Bucky—there's just too much in the way, he doesn't fit back into that mold anymore—but he's Bucky enough to be exasperated that Steve's gone and gotten himself into trouble again. He's come along just in time, looks like.

The look Bucky gives him is pretty much a perfect copy of the exasperated what now Rogers face Bucky had always given him back in the day when Steve had wandered up to his door arm in arm with Trouble again. "What'd you do," he asks, and it's barely a question. You want him to shout some orders, Stevie, he'll do that right now, you just watch.

okay I really made up a lot here, so just let me know if any of this isn't okay

Steve knows it shouldn't, but that familiar look on Bucky's face makes him smile — just a little — as his eyes trace the exasperation in Bucky's eyes with a nostalgic fondness.

He doesn't answer right away though. Instead, Steve looks down and takes a moment to think, his eyes roaming the floor like it could give him the answer.

"I got into some trouble with Mr. McCabe," he says. Their middle school principal. When everyone started getting bigger and Steve didn't, the fights ended up a little more brutal. Eighth grade was one of the worst. But the most memorable thing about that year wasn't the fights. Instead, it was when Steve got sick and tired of the way the bullies at school were always taking kids out by the dumpster and giving them a beating. Normally, he'd never go to a teacher and instead try to take care of it himself, but this time, Mr. McCabe saw it. Steve knew he'd seen it because he was walking past on his way home after school.

So the next day, he'd gone to the principal's office and demanded that he do something. Two days later, Steve found himself with a note to take to his Ma, saying that he'd been suspended at school for telling lies.

The case almost mirrored exactly what's happening to him now. Steve stuck his nose somewhere, and someone higher up didn't want him investigating. In both cases, Steve still hasn't found out exactly why. Though this time, he has a better hunch.

"I'm being investigated. Though, honestly, I think they're stalling for something. I don't know what."

But he also knows that while a vague reference to a childhood teacher would put Bucky on the right track, he'll need all the details soon.

"Have you eaten? I can fill you in over dinner."

I love everything that's happening right now

McCabe means liars. It had ever since eighth grade and it still does, reaching across the decades to plant just exactly the right idea in Bucky's head. Steve's up against another his-word-against-theirs scenario, something he can't solve by going in head-on, his least favorite kind.

"Investigated, huh?" Bucky looks a little dubious as he nods and takes a mental inventory of what he's got on him, makes sure he's ready to leave the room again. (Always know what you've got on you, he'd learned that lesson very early after the helicarriers.) He'd never been as good at helping Steve with those kinds of fights. "Okay, fill me in, I could eat."

The real question he's gonna need answered is, are these guys trying to shut Steve up, because that, Bucky can help with. He might not have the old level of strength in his metal arm, he'd found that out by testing its parameters and coming up short real fast, but no amount of brainwashing or gaslighting could trick him out of his old suspicious instincts.
