DAY CHANGE

[ The announcement is right on time today, but with a much different voice than usual; soft and feminine, with a clear tone. ]

Hello Residents, this is your...Captain speaking. I regret to inform you that there have been some... changes, in the staff. You will soon find out, so I wouldn't bother with trying to find out for yourself! I've heard some of the people around here like to... snoop around.

Today is the 29th of January, a Tuesday. The snow is letting up a bit but unfortunately there is some freezing rain moving in with it. That's dreadful. Hopefully icing on the power lines won't cause another power outage.

To assist some of the residents with their desires for money, we will be having a little trivia game. You will win 2,000cp per each question you get right, up to20,000cp. So ten trivia questions. But if you get three wrong, we'll take money away instead! So do be careful.

[ And the cell doors open up! ]

... A bee?

[She's speaking to herself more than anything else, mulling it all in her head.]

I want to say two, but that's probably wrong, so, five, maybe?

That's correct! Well done. 2,000cp for you.

What is a pregnant goldfish called?
(Current CP total: 2,000)

I was right?

[Okay, that's good. But she knows the questions are going to get harder, so she listens carefully to the next one.]

... Are all the questions going to be about animals? [JUST WOW] Also, I'm pretty sure any kind of fish - including goldfish - can't get pregnant. They lay eggs.

While I appreciate you trying to show just how smart you can be, not only are you incorrect, you didn't answer my question.

Pregnancy in fish is the time after the egg and sperm union when the fish carries the eggs and incubates them. But good job trying to look like a smart little floozy.

Consider yourself wrong. There goes the CP you just won.

[So much for trying to like some of the new staff.]

Well, it's not as if I'm planning on becoming a trivia master to begin with.

[But she knows that she has to be careful. If she gets five right, and five wrong, she won't have earned anything. But at least this isn't going to be as bad as the last trivia game she played.]

Anyway, go ahead and ask the next question.

Okaaaay!

True or false: A jiffy is a unit of time.

[.... That sudden switch in personality is way too familiar for her liking. It leaves a bad taste in her mouth.]

...

True?

There we go. Now you're back up.

Is it illegal to eat oranges while sunbathing in the American state of California?
(Current CP total: 2,000)

I'm going to guess that it's not illegal.

Surprise, but it actually is! And there goes your 2,000 cp... again.

[There's a heavy sigh that comes off her lips, but at least she isn't going under so that's... a relief.]

I guess I'm pretty lucky to not live there.

Next question then...?
