WEEK 5.
Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now. It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well. Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 23 |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week five of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!
If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Alena!]

[She grabs the solution and carefully pours it into the dish...slowly...maybe too slowly, so she tips it in a little faster. There it goes.]
But it's not a real tree, right? So what's actually goin' on?
no subject
[Rin points at the base of the tree.]
See the dark spots where the roots are getting wet? Eventually the whole tree is going to look like that, as the cardboard is wicked by the solution.
If it were water it would just dry out eventually, but what else did I have you mix in that container?
no subject
[She leans in closer to take a look, but then she winces when she's asked a question. Oh, no. A quiz.]
Um...pneumonia? There's pneumonia and salt in there.
no subject
Ammonia, Hibiki. [Rin is shaking her head, both amused and gently scolding.] We're not spreading the plague here.
no subject
[Maybe she'll read a chemistry book? Weirder things have happened.]
If we were spreading pneumonia, the tree would probably die, huh?
[? ?? ? ? She actually looks sad as she says that?]
no subject
[Rin sounds more fascinated than anything, but it's okay Hibiki! Your hypothetical tree will survive.]
Anyways, there's a lot of uses for ammonia. You've probably seen it in the laundry room without noticing; it's often used to get stains out of fabrics.
What makes it important to this project, though, is that due to its chemical composition it evaporates quickly.
no subject
[She doesn't even notice her mistake.]
So it evaporates quickly. That means it's turnin' into a gas, right? So if it's evaporatin' and the rest of the mix isn't, what does that mean?
no subject
Close! Most of the mixture is evaporating right along with it; the ammonia just speeds things along. But you're right that there's something in there that isn't. After all, its original form wasn't a liquid.
no subject
...Hey, is it the salt? Is that what's not evaporating?
no subject
When the solution evaporates, it forces the salt that was in it to crystalize outwards, because it has nowhere else to go.
[Rin points to one of the trees that's in the middle stage of growth, small clusters spiking out from the branches.]
The blue material you mixed in is a colloid. It looks like a liquid, but it actually has tiny particles in it, and these particles make the salt crystals grow faster.
this is the worst tag I've ever written
[There's no helping her. That's not a good metaphor at all. But somehow, Hibiki can see it. The water is her leaving for work, and the crystals are her pets having mischievous G-rated adventures.]
And the colloid is sort of like...if there were a stepstool to the couch that Inumi could climb even though she's a St. Bernard and doesn't need one.
I laughed, oh my fucking god
If... That helps you remember it, I guess? [Ahaha...] Though it's a little bit off. In your scenario, Inumi has a choice to stay on the floor or jump on the couch, right? This would be more like if you forgot to put her water bowl out and left the bathroom door open. If she was thirsty, she might try to drink out of the toilet.
[What has this conversation even turned into.]
