The Compound // YOU ARE NOT SAFE
"Practice makes perfect. Put simply, you must train as much as you possibly can now, before it's too late. To that end, we provide you with a location designed to help you hone your skills against The Threat.
Receiver, welcome home."
The Mindkill has happened. You don't know for how long have you been locked in The Dreaming. The Threat tries to wear you down, make you surrender on your way to Awakening. Do not surrender.
The Compound is a safe space outside of Threat's reach. It allows a moment of respite for those Receivers that are worn down by endless struggle. By it's appearance it recreates the Rec Center from the Reality B with slight... Modifications. We shall go over each feature shortly:
FIRST FLOOR:
Lobby: The heart of the Compound. From here, you can access everything it has to offer. Although, by now, I suppose your attention is fully taken by the giant head. We ourselves don't know who this might be, and what is the true purpose, but some Receivers use it as "sequencer", making tunes as recreation. Go on, play some tunes. See if it will ease your tension~
Changing room: This room is used in order to store all the means to fight back The Threat. Firearms, tapes and... Personal scores. Practice makes perfect, Receiver. Keep track of that. Take care of your handguns. Take care of your MindTech. If you wish to, tapes could be played all across the Compound via intercom. Ooh, so that's where you keep your toys, hmm? Well, they didn't help you all these times before, hmm?
Swimming pool Shooting range: Your aim should be flawless. That's why we've provided you with shooting range tracks, with different challenges for you to master. Timed drills, ten shot drills, Multi-range timed drills. Mastering it will help you tremendously on your path to Awakening. With each personal record broken, W̴̬̥͉͋̏̎̄̆̚A̶͓̅́̈́̋͛̕T̸̹̺̙̔͆̑C̵̞̹̯̈́̊͒H̸̪̤̭͋͊̎̿ as you improve your odds in case of a Mindkill. Afufu, as if shock drones stand in one spot! As if I stand in one spot!
Workout Challenge dome: But of course shooting stationary target isn't the only thing that would be required of you. Hence why we offer you a set of exercises. Dismantle dummy turrets, shoot targets - random ones or in circle, different sizes - shoot a fast moving drone dummy and much more! Come on, Receiver, this is boring. Feels more like a thematic park rather than proper training, don't you think?
Moreover, here in the corner, we have every Threat Manifestation possible - disabled, of course. Turrets, drones, ceiling turrets... Study your enemy now, before your ignorance gets the best of you. Do you really believe that you are safe? Also, where's ME?
Apartment: It is a simple studio accomodation, to make Receivers make themselves at home, even in the reality of Post-Mindkill enviroment. Kitchen corner, bookshelf, bed, bath and toilet room combined, collection of different weights, treadmills and many other exercise tools. As well as our symbol written on the wall - to remind you what we're striving for. Ah, imagine the things we can do together here! Just you and me~
SECOND FLOOR:
Rock garden: Of course there's no open air segment in the real Rec Center. But we believe this liberty in recreation allows for picturesque sights, that shall bring serenity and tranquility so needed in Post-Mindkill enviroment.
Conference Room: Ȧ̶͎h̷͒͜,̵̬̾ ̵̦͑s̷̭͘ȍ̶̞ ̷͙͐ỳ̷̖ó̷͕ǔ̵̻ ̴̧̀k̵͙̅ṇ̸̊ò̵͓ẅ̸͖́ ̴̦̇ă̶͙b̶̖̀o̴͖̊û̵̩t̶̜͛ ̶̯̌m̵̰͗e̸̯̓.̷̱͑ ̸͔̂T̶̡͘h̶̳̑e̴̥͌ỵ̷̚'̷̤̓v̴̘̀e̵̩͛ ̸̛̹m̶̨̃a̶͇͗d̷̝̀e̵̗͝ ̶̝̌a̷̭͗ ̵͚̍ṡ̴̬c̴̆͜h̷̘̑e̴͈͘m̷͖͌a̴͎̒t̷̰̓ĭ̶̜c̴͆͜ ̵̤̈́o̵̟̕f̸̢̂ ̸̞̿m̵̻̊ȩ̶͊?̵̤̈ ̶͖̇P̶͕̅e̸̢͝ȓ̴̜v̷̙͠e̸̘͋ṟ̸͑ẗ̵̖́s̸̢͊~̵̝̀
Sensory Deprivation: These white round capsules allow us to, as you might have guessed, deprive us of senses, which in turn allows us to delve once again, back into The Dreaming. This might look ominous for the first timers, but fret not. It's just like riding a bike for the first time. A part of the process. Don't even think about it, you aren't going anywhere~
Meditation platform: Join others in meditation or yoga! Strenghtening of Mindtech comes not only from listening to the tapes. It's discipline. Repetition. Aww, what's wrong? Is there not a soul to join you? Haven't you thought that you might be all alone, the last Receiver?
We hope this proves benefitial for your further trainings. Good luck.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned.
Alright, on a more serious note, I've got many more ideas in the making. Just hope I don't get too lazy. Especially since Imma feeling sick rn.
Damn, so much tokens used, sheesh. Waiting for lorebooks so hard rn. Don't expect it to work on JLM. Have been fiddling with Gemini - holy , that's so good.
All "rooms" in the list are clickable btw.
