001 [ written / action ]

[ written ]

[ Neat, concise, practical penmanship. Erwin does quite a lot of writing. ]

I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:
  • Have you ever been drafted for service in the war? Volunteered for it? If so, what was asked of you?
  • How frequently are you and/or those you know taken in for experimentation? If you have first-hand experience with this, do you recall what happened?
  • Based on your experiences in Luceti, what is your personal opinion of the Malnosso?
If you would like to speak further, or more privately, this is Commander Erwin Smith. I am willing to meet with you in person if you are wary of speaking freely this way.

Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.

[ action ]

[ Erwin's been in Luceti only a few days, but he'd memorized the layout of the village on the first. Food, clothing, weapons--he knows where to find these things, and he's been noting all of the smaller shops besides. He's far from content, but he is adapting, though still on high alert. He is well aware already that there is little he will be able to do immediately. But he can prepare to do more, and that is precisely what he is planning on.

He can be found at the smithy looking at weapons, at the grocery store (Levi wants non-perishables, wants to stock up), sitting outside looking through his journal--green cape around his shoulders, hiding his wings with more wings--or just about anywhere else by appointment. ]

[Ginia clears out the information for the room and brings the console back to the main menu, standing to the side so Erwin can see. The main menu is pretty self-explanatory. There's a help button in the upper right that will give a friendly audio or text tutorial. Additional buttons indicate "premade environments", "previous settings", and "random" settings.

Ginia pauses to write out a message on a small notepad, her writing fast and tidy as always.]


I find the easiest way to create a place is to start with a premade environment and then begin adding things in.

[Ginia gives Erwin time to read the message before she presses the menu for premade environment. The menu opens up a list of environments already made, an image of the setting appearing on the left.]

Why don't you pick a setting that works? From where I'll show you had to add things in.

((ooc: All of this is my personal headcanon there isn't a standard description of what the Battle Dome console looks like. As far as I know.))

[With the picture of the forest on one side, a few more options pop up on the side; buttons for "enemies," "weapons," "items," "advanced settings," and "custom."]

Pressing any of the buttons will pull up a list of things already in the system. I'm inclined to believe the lists include things that are common in worlds represented by the present population. You can also create your own items, enemies, weapons, and environments under custom settings, though that takes a bit more work and trial and error.

[It's not a difficult system overall. Maybe one that requires a bit of exploration especially for people not used to technology, and fully custom environments and settings require more work, but it's fairly straight forward.]

Looks good. Once you press enter and accept the settings for the room, you get an hour. After that, the program automatically ends itself, though it'll allow you to restart it from the console.

Also there are settings in place to prevent serious injury and/or death. It's possible to make adjustments to change the safety features, but not to the point where a simulation could kill you.
