Awaken...

[ Everything still feels a bit hazy when you pull yourself out of bed this morning. Bed... not all of you may remember going to bed. It may take several long minutes for that feeling to die down. Several things may seem immediately wrong. But even if the basics are familiar-- there's a sort of uneasy feeling of wrongness that lingers as you come to. That feeling will probably never go away entirely.

Attached to your wrist is a small plastic wristband, almost like a watch, but without the numbers. Try as you might, it won't come off. For those of you who are familiar, it is designed with an uncanny familiarity to a Fitbit.

And then there's your current abode-- the room is fully furnished for one person-- and you are in fact alone, which may be a relief... or a great concern. The basics are all there: desk, lamp, bed, closet...

As the little things go though, it's almost completely bare of any personal flare. No personal effects at all...

With one exception.

On the desk sits a black tablet. And almost immediately after you find it, the thing starts going off one rapid fire 'ding' after another. Check it out and you will find several messages have popped up on the screen for you to scan through. The source and the content is... well. As questionable as everything else this morning I'd say. ]

meguman22922: mornin'! hope you slept well.
meguman22922: orientation will be held in the main classroom in an hour. that's in the school building on the 1st floor
meguman22922: but first you should introduce yourself. the others should be waking up about now too.
meguman22922: you're in the dorms now, so dont forget to check the maps
meguman22922: the tablet can help you with that. anything else, we'll get to at orientation. so! see you in an hour! :D
 


[ It would seem that you have much to investigate. Perhaps discussing it with these "others" may be the most beneficial way to proceed for now. At the very least there is a promise of answers in the near future. Whether or not they'll be to your liking though... highly doubtful at this stage, really. But who knows! Going back to school (or to school for your first time) can't be so bad, right? ]

Um, oh no. ["Um, oh no"? Really Max? That's what you say when a big strange old guy shouts at you?]

I uh....yeah, I know...it's...um...




Bad.

[Fuck!]

[ NO

but, fortunately, waver understands that very well. if rider's a servant summoned by a master, then he (and someone else, if he goes by what's been said) could have definitely been an enemy.

however-- ]


I didn't come here on my own out of free will, idiot. It's just...

[ he holds out his hand-- the one where his command seals used to be ]

My seals are gone. And if that's the case then it means that someone probably forced them off-- probably the same person that took me here.
whatsmytalentagain: (And I don't want the world to see me)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-12 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh... That's concerning...]

Yeah, how do you know my... Name.

[His eyes drift to the tablet that guy's holding.... Was there something he overlooked?]

Beastmen don't associate with humans.

[That's the simple answer.]
devotingly: all by me (sparkles) (pic#)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-12 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by that? Do you know something?

[ H M M M....... SUSPICIOUS ]

Oh, honorifics! I learnt those!

[All those beginners Japanese books were leading up to this moment, surely.]

Well, I wouldn’t let myself be anything but Gogol-san to anyone but Dos-kun...ah, but Clown-kun would be a cute one, wouldn’t it?

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[... If you say so, Henry.]

You kill your own kind?

[From the way he says it, that's... very odd.]

Little?

[Oh, there it is.]

Very poor choice of words, kiddo! I’ll have you know that I am of perfecrly reasonable height!

Are you sure about that?

[ Tall, lanky man, bumping into Rebecca as she's trying to look over some of the info on this stupid tablet? Oh, yes, thank you, I'll have one!

She stumbles but rights herself against the wall. A surge of annoyance rushes through her, and she spins around to reprimand whoever's been so careless. ]


Excuse me, if you could have the awareness to watch where you're going-- [ oh, what the fuck, she gets a proper look at him, and. Her voice just shrivels up. ] O-oh. Oh, I- I'm sorry, can- can you see alright?
12d3: (you'll see)

[personal profile] 12d3 2018-08-12 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly!

[Another pause.]

Though.. I have had the guts spill all out of one before when my bandmate smashed it with a baseball bat. It was pretty cool, as tragic as losing "Barracuda" is.

Well, yeah, sure! I'd be a pretty sorry soldier if I didn't!

C’moooonnnn, people! I already went to college - I don’t need to retake my degree!

[Sheldon is furious, of course. But he can’t conduct evil on an empty stomach. So you’ll find him outside the cafeteria, banging loudly and angrily on the door.]

Hey! Hey! Open up, ya can’t kidnap me and not expect to give out some grub!
machrophage: ([to look on])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely.

[Don't test him...]
sendintheclown: (I cant open the door right now im in the)

[personal profile] sendintheclown 2018-08-12 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You would trample on my heart so?

[Ouch.

He calls out to the kid as he walks away.]


Wait, wait!
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Worried Anxiety)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-12 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... that's fair.

[Poe sighs. Okay. He could just walk away now... but there's several things he wants to ask about on Waver's profile, and it's about time he started questioning people.]

Right. Okay. In that case, do you mind if I ask my own set of questions? I would be an rather terrible detective if I neglected to question anyone. Perhaps I'll be able to deduce a few new things depending on your answers.
machrophage: ([to look on])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Huh.]

I've never heard of humans fighting against each other.

[It's kind of an us vs them thing.]
devotingly: (pic#12458773)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-12 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I--so what if I did?

[ he crosses his arms. ]
sendintheclown: (you lol)

[personal profile] sendintheclown 2018-08-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I’m afraid you have no idea what a clown really is.

[ohai you]

Aw, c'mon. You just need to have the right attitude!

Definitely the strangest. But... there has to be a reason for it, right?

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, you.

[ Bad situation; familiar faces making it better. ]

Yeah. We knew it was going to happen but... [ He shrugs. ] It always felt like there was going to be more time.

I've done all of this before, so...I know what it's like to suddenly show up somewhere you shouldn't be.

[How do you convince someone you're their ally? Offer them a handshake? That's what she does. So cool, Max.]

I'm Max. I can tell you more if you want to sit down, but...it's kind of a tough story.

They're not exactly common. The Spiral King prefers... other sorts of entertainment.
