[Fun fact! I didn't make that shitpost. It already existed. Hilarious.
Anyway, I belatedly realize we never talked locations so they are now here at IKEA. Monika frowns profusely at the closed off area upstairs. Stop being under construction. Let them perceive.]
What do you think is up there?

[ I HATE THIS. anyway here we are in ikea. jonas is here. he's holding a shark, again. and he is squinting at the beyond areas. ]
IKEAs are usually huge, so it's either more furniture, other shops, orrrr the people running the game that don't want to talk to us yet.

Or all of the above? [So glad for his shark. She glances at it and just kind of smiles, a little amused.] It's true that there are other places we can't get into... But if you're going to hole up somewhere, an IKEA isn't a bad choice at all, right?
I already see it as an incentive, since it's in the rules and everything... Otherwise, like, why bring it up at all? It could be that anyone who forms a team will get access to housing. Even if everyone else is still scrambling to get something together.
[Team BDSM will let them know tomorrow, probably.]
Have you thought about who you want to team up with, Jonas?

That's true, too. Maybe the first team to get their act together gets the best housing and everybody else is stuck with whatever's available.
[ imagine team bdsm getting a sweet-ass penthouse and we're stuck with studio apartments or something. but he shakes his head. ]
Still deciding. Alex and I are going over options again later. We have some ideas, but...it's just making decisions. Have you?

... Aw, man. I hope that's not the case.
[the bdsm penthouse... it's winter dorm all over again.]
I haven't made up my mind at all, either... It feels like I'm trying to scout members for my club all over again but way worse. Like, literal life and death decisions worse. [The stress... She sighs.] It's good that you and Alex are working together, though. She seems nice.

You and me both.
[ stop not winter!! but. hum. ]
Like we needed the extra pressure. [ grumbling. ] I've been talking to way more people than I wanted to so we could figure out teams and we're not that much closer. There are a few people we might ask, but it's still early. And she is. Nice, I mean. Alex would want to team up with everybody if it were possible, so you can guess why we haven't made up our minds yet.
[ hold on. ]
Your club?

Your club?
Ehehe... If only we could team up with everyone. That would solve one problem. [Can't lose the game if there's only one team! Clearly, everyone just needs to join the BDSM penthouse.] Did you and Alex come from the same place?
[She waves her hand a little dismissively at his question, though, like she doesn't consider it all that big a deal.]
I was the president of my school's Literature Club. [Past tense.] But I wasn't any good at recruiting new members. Like... at all.

[ jonas is sitting in the middle of a room. he's sitting on a donut in this hellish ballpit and he's scrolling around on his phone when he glances up at monika. ]
Still not housing. [ but he sounds like he sort of thinks it's funny. ]

It would, but then the competition would be over pretty fast. Bummer for them. [ he does not sound like he thinks that's a bad thing. he nods at that though. ] But yeah, we did. It's both a good thing and a bad thing we're both here, but we're making the most of it.
[ there's a look on his face that says a literature club sounds like very much not-his-thing, but. ] Hard to get people interested in reading?
[ mostly because he doesn't think it's monika herself. ]

Not that I've heard? But this is the first time I'm hearing about a second team, too. [ give him a second to click over and look. ]
...ah. That one doesn't surprise me.
[ with that, he looks up and he kind of kicks another innertube toward her. have a sit. ]
Any luck on your end?

Bummer for them~
[She does not think it would be a bad thing if the game ended immediately. Oh, well. There's a bit of a thoughtful look as she thinks about just the concept of being brought here with a friend, but...]
Something like that. It's not like there's no one who's interested in literature at school. But it's really hard to get them to pick it over any of their other interests, you know?

[Ah... She huffs out a laugh and very carefully sits down on the innertube, trying not to sink too deep into the ballpit. Girly girl is out here still wearing a skirt after 3+ days of this nonsense. ]
Mm, yeah! I think I found someone I'd like to work with. What about you and Alex?

[ monika your fashion. unfortunately jonas does not think much of it and now they are in the pit. ]
We're picking Setsu and Kazuki as far as I know. Sounded like all four of us agreed on each other, so...that helps. But even knowing that, it still feels like things are kind of rushed.

Setsu and Kazuki are good choices. They seem pretty sensible, and it's easy enough to strike up a conversation with them. [Team TBD is off to a good start.
She sighs.]
It feels like that for me, too, though... Like, yeah, Ruby said five days is plenty of time to make our decision. But I don't know if amount of time will ever feel like it's enough to make a literally life altering decision... or, well, something like that!
She sighs.]

[ hm...well he nods in agreement because yeah, people really be out here minding their own business half the time, but the question seems to be a little more difficult to answer. ]
It's not the greatest. [ he starts with. ] It's kind of obvious that half of the teachers don't care and the other half care way too much. You might stand a better chance if you're involved in a sport or something, but even that won't save you from getting your ass kicked if you look at someone wrong.
[ all very normal things. ]
I've been out for a while, but I'm switching schools for senior year. It's...supposed to be a lot better. Less chances of walking into somebody's switchblade. [ it's an awkward joke but. yes. ]

That's a lot of why we picked them. [ for jonas and for alex, those two hit a lot of their checkboxes in a team for both of them. ]
But, uh, probably not. We're really going to have to learn about each other on the fly and hope we can make things work. Five days is enough time to learn who's here, but we're not going to really know each other until the game starts and we see how people are under pressure. And that along kind of feels like a ton of pressure.
[ mostly because if you fuck up, you fuck up. ]

[ monika might just find jonas wandering up and down the streets sort of aimlessly. he has a cigarette in his mouth and his hands are in his pockets, but he seems to be on the lookout for something.
occasionally though he looks up at the sky suspiciously.
it's somewhere in between that his gaze lands on her though and his face relaxes just a hair. ]
Monika, hey. You saw the announcement?

[a blink falls out of the sky and crushes them...
if only. monika looks exhausted, no thanks to the psych shenanigans affecting everyone today, but she's visibly relieved to see he's okay. she nods, sighing.]
... And the bowling alley. Someone made a mess out of it. [targeting a family owned business... who would do this...] Have you found anything, Jonas?
