Seeing the notifications Damon had a wide smile on his face as he patted copper and bay on the shoulders walking back down the hall while activating the twenty minute countdown for mental torture on both cells.
"how long do you plan on keeping them in there and what about food for them. I'll let them out once Sir Hughes returns and as far as the food I'll make sure it's taken care of. Damon responded to Bay's question.
"how's the home sorting going jolly " via system connection. Damon asks.
"going well so far, but man did you notice how many kids there are, dude it's a lot of them. gotta go though Damon I'm ready to get finished with this."
"alright next, yes sir please state your name and how many people are with you.
My name is Alex tailor and it's just me. Alex skin was pale and he was a very slim man with a clean shaved handsome face that had blue hair and wore glasses with a combo hat on.
"ok there's a four story building a street down to the right. it's the only four story building on that side which has many full size living spaces for one to two people. there are numbers on each door after entering. your living space will be 236. Steel please show him the direction the others went please.ok got it follow me sir."
steel said while walking a little ways down before pointing to a street a few other people were walking down.
"you see where their going that's where you need to go sir." steel says to Alex.
"seven, you're telling me all seven of this kids are yours ma'am. yes they are all mine. Jolly was currently trying to keep his mind together at the moment.
"I mean did you birth all seven, like are they biologically yours ma'am. yes they are, is there a problem. oh no ma'am sorry it was just an honest question. we have to make sure we have as much information about who is living here and how many. " jolly said with an odd smile.
" five bedrooms is the best I can do ma'am. go down this street and make the first left and second right. it will be the fourth house on the right. sheesh seven kids and they all look to be under the age fourteen. either someone is very fertile or her legs must fly open every chance she gets." jolly thought.
Jolly had been moving everyone along quickly but he still had many people and families to sort out.
"allow for me to help shield says to jolly. I've expanded your storage pouch space while putting a number of things inside you will find very useful with this type of inprocess.
Jolly quickly walked away from the lines of people waiting reaching into his storage pouch pulling out a small thin crystal that resembled a disk.
"simply speak the coordinates into each one and it will show each person or group the way to their living quarters. this should speed up the process much quicker." shield says to jolly.
"you're right, thanks shield."
along with the devices shield gave him jolly had completed all the awakened souls home status quicker. the small devices also recorded the names of each individual along with other information that infused with the cities catalog within the system.
"Jolly is it, uh yes and you're spade correct. yes a gentleman with black and grey beard spoke. I want you to know I and my people are deeply indebted to you and yours and really appreciate everything especially this but I want to ask you is it possible house my people in a certain area within this beautiful city."
"ahh yes in fact there is beyond enough room. how about I set your people up on the north side of the city. it's the farthest point of the city not too far away from that castle over there." jolly said while pointing.
It took around forty minutes but jolly had successfully completed the sorting.
"hmmm the girl called levy seems to stay pretty close to the one called spade and a few others at all times. I wonder if that's her father. she doesn't look anything like him but her looks could have easily come from her mother." jolly thought to himself afterwards.
Jolly and steel soon meet with Damon and the others. " did you station nurse heart,old man butcher, miss grey and calvus at the places I picked for them." yes I did jolly responded to Damon.
"hey guys not trying to sound rushy or anything but you haven't assigned us a place to stay." copper says.
"oh well we have a special offer for you three. you all can stay at the castle with us. what that's where you two are staying. steel blurts out. well where in the hell did you think they were staying, jeesh if it was my city I'd be staying there too. it's gigantic ." copper says while insulting steel's intelligence a little.
they all laughed at copper's response and sarcasm. "ugh sorry guys but I think it's best if I stay with my dad, he's going to need my help I'm sure." they all looked at Bay but ultimately understood his decline even if they didn't like it much because of his father.
After getting to the castle and entering a sudden vibration within certain parts of the city occured as a Ding sound was heard by Damon.
Ding.
objective completed. obsidian city population task has been meet.
rewards: more city features has been unlocked.
The sudden vibration became stronger as the areas within the city shook.
certain areas within the walls vibrated and glowed as different materials formed together. as the vibration stopped and light faded there were obvious changes within the castle. there were now open tables chairs, sofas nicely crafted bookshelves and a plethora of appliances and furniture throughout the castles.
"Wow, what happened everything changed suddenly." copper says in excitement. they all were startled upon the initial sudden vibration and glowing light that lasted for a few seconds including Damon and jolly.
Damon quickly looked on the cities map and seen that all the homes that were occupied had changed as well and not the ones that had no one living there. even the prison he had Kimbo and jack at changed in which he guessed was because of them.
upon looking further there was an underlined suggestion at the prison image.
suggesting to have at least twenty people stationed there at all times.
"the fuck is this, I mean I know I'm in control of the city but this is starting to look like I'm responsible for running it." he thought to himself.
"it's a prison and it should function as one, you will find many areas within the city will need people to be in control of those specific areas. when I told you the entire city would be in your control I was serious. A city doesn't operate well without workers and jobs to have people work." shield said to Damon.
"hey Damon you gonna show us around or what." steel says breaking him out of his his thoughts and the systems interface.
For more than three hours they explored the castle along with the city and they weren't the only ones as many people did as well. turned out the certain restrictions were put in place. certain area could not be explored without the authorization of either Damon and jolly. once a person was listed to reside at a residence. they could not enter any other building listed as a home. if they tried a crystalized barrier would appear in front of all entrances as well as a voice command of shield giving a warning to leave the premises.
Damon found this out while certain notifications popped up in his view as many people tried to explore the city. one thing became clear to him and everyone and that was there was no life besides themselves within or around the city which meant all the hunting had to be done above ground. there was even an area out the city but still within the dome that had at least two miles of farming land from the look of it and they knew that particular area wasn't on the map of the city earlier which made them believe that many buildings weren't the only thing that changed.
Damon and jolly had so many notifications pop up about the city it was getting exhausted just hearing and seeing them. There were so many different city functions they couldn't keep count and ultimately decided to ignore them for now and check them later.
Damon had immediately begun to think of ways to solve a few things within the city.
there was plenty of time before sundown as it was still morning around 11 am. Damon also received a notification to one particular function he found very useful which would allow him to speak with everyone at once in the city.
