[OPEN MINGLE]
WHO: Everyone! It's a mingle!
WHAT: Discussing recent reveals about the simulation
WHERE: Pairidaeza Architectural Studio
WHEN: Feb 3rd morning to evening
WARNINGS: Potential existential crises, discussions of death, memory manipulation, basically everything to do with their actual situation in a simulated environment.
[The actual setup within the garage-turned-studio is away from all the actual workbenches.
On one folding table are copies of multiple documents available around the X: The main document is a summary of a resident from a prior iteration that's clearly been redacted via scanning copies with stuff blocked out. Additionally are copies of the most recent newsletter with the memo on the back and photos of the hotel journal printed in black and white.
Lined up on another folding table away from the one with the documents is an array of finger foods: hummus, chutneys, and yoghurt dips with a variety of sliced vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts, and fresh pita bread. cardamom cookies, panipuri, and both vegetable and chicken samosas take up the other side. Mint water and fresh juice are in pitchers to the center. It's actually a little crowded.
Chairs are set up in small grounds and around the document table. And finally, a whiteboard has been rolled in for people to make use of in group discussions.]
((This is a mingle, so everyone is encouraged to threadjack, make toplevels, etc prior plot mingles have been done. Alhaitham and Kaveh will be around and participating but not taking the lead beyond making sure people stay orderly in the studio and have enough papers.
If you character has discussed the simulation with either Kaveh or Alhaitham, you can also handwave they texted them directly about it.))

He hums, thoughtfully, as he considers Muriel's question. ]
Almost certainly.
[ He doesn't mean to further unnerve the other, but... well, there's no point in tiptoeing around things. ]
I wouldn't be surprised if prior residents also found themselves in a similar situation as ourselves right now, gathered around, trying to determine our next steps.
no subject
... Oh dear.
[ That sums it all up, doesn't it? Oh dear, everything is terrible! ]
I wonder if the previous residents left anything behind that could help? Any notes or anything. I suppose they wouldn't have lasted once the place was... [ HORRIBLY APOCALYPSE'D ] ... reset, but there are a few iterations not accounted for...
no subject
Hm... I suppose if I were the one running this simulation, I'd make sure nothing was left behind that could affect the outcomes of future tests. But there's an idea. We could attempt to leave information behind for the next residents.
[ Maybe Chesed's already accepted that he'll be inevitably apocalypse'd. ]
no subject
W-well... if they've had to run the simulation fifty times without getting the results that they want, then they can't be very good at thinking ahead. Maybe we'll find something if we have another look around.
no subject
I'm not sure that would be very wise... Now that those in charge of this project are aware that we're aware, I wouldn't put it past them to make sure this iteration goes over smoothly.
[ He leans back in his chair a bit with a thoughtful expression. ]
Although, I suppose if we're all ultimately doomed, it would be better than doing nothing at all, wouldn't it?
no subject
[ Did that come out a little sharply? Sorry, the optimism is losing ground! ]
... Sorry, I'm a bit nervous. How are you handling things, by the way? Are you alright? You hardly seem fazed at all.
