First Week
Dr F: Nhhnhhnhh-hahaha! Sooo, Mike, this week we’ve got--hey, wait. There’s more of you up there.
Frank: I thought we said no friends over until you finished your homework!
Dr. F: Yes, I distinctly remember saying that. Three years ago, I think. Well, if you’re going to have friends over, they’re going to have to help you with experiments, too! I don’t care who does it, just as long as someone is hurting! Especially you, Mike!
Frank: And no copying papers! That’s dishonest.
Dr. F: So um. Where was I. OH right, this week’s experiment. Turns out, we’re switching to bad books! Yes, the most miserable literature you could ever hope to lay eyes on! Why? Because I said so, that’s why!
Frank: I thought it was because we couldn’t get the rights to a lot of the current worst movies and the logistics of incorporating it into an online rol--
Dr. F: HUSH, Frank. I’ll kill you later. The point is, every book gets turned into a movie sooner or later anyway, so forcing bad fiction on you will be just as lucrative in the long run! And since the movie is always worse than the book, that means that getting a movie made out of the worst book will make it twice as worst! ...Worse. Er, bad.
To kick off this new chapter in our long and proud history of torturing you, you’ll be looking over the prologue of a smelly little piece of paperback called The Thirteenth! It’s last in a series of other bad books, so you’ll have no clue what’s going on in it! It’s got vampires and demons and poorly-researched Biblical symbolism and possibly a few things stolen from World of Warcraft, I don’t know. Happy reading!
Frank: Man, some of you new friends are just darling!
>Dr. F: QUIET, Frank!
[OOC]
Welcome to the Satellite of Love, everyone! No matter what your character may have been doing or where they were going, they have now suddenly found themselves here. There’s no escaping (for now), so you may as well make yourselves comfortable.
If you want to talk to the Mads, Mike, the Bots, or anyone else on the satellite or in Deep 13, just start posting on Cambot’s network. If you’re confused as to where you are or where you can stay, check Around the SOL and Deep 13 for a quick tour of your new home. If you want your character to participate in the experiments, be sure to stop by the Riff Signups page and sign them up! If you’re curious as to how you do experiments, check the Riff FAQ. If you’ve got a great book, internet junk mail or your own personal fanfic to suggest for riffing, check out the Riff Suggestions page.
Speaking of riffing, this week’s experiment is the prologue of The Thirteenth, last in the Vampire Huntress Legend series! The following characters have been assigned riff duty:
Sora
Linkara
Fawful
Is there a way off this ship? Well, there is one way...make people laugh! The Morale Points System will determine how happy the SOL currently is, based on what your characters do. Perform well on experiments, and you’ll get morale points. Doing other morale-boosting activities, such as jokes, skits, plays, parties, songs, art or other get-togethers will also boost your morale. Get morale high enough, and everyone on the SOL will be freed!
You will get hints as to current SOL morale every week. And current Satellite morale this week is:
Neutral
