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? ]

I mean smashing anything with a baseball bat is sweet if it breaks right, to be totally fair to VHSes.

[ Todd for worst manager 2kinfinity. ]

Most of us are powerless, more than we realise. You just need to find a weakness in your oppressor's armour - a door they left unlocked, something they meant to guard and forgot about for just a second, and break in. Tear them apart from the inside out, before they know what's happening.

People who put themselves on the top have the furthest to fall.

[ "Gogol"... huh. ]

Kurusu Akira.

I'd say nice to meet you, but circumstances make that impossible.

Nya ha ha, sorry!

[Oh hi there, Maya, fancy seeing you here.]

I was too busy watching where you were going! Aaaaaaall the way right into me. [It was funny.] ...Also I wasn't really moving.

Let me wallow in my own disappointment for a little bit. I'll come back fighting.

Aw, well, why let a little kidnapping ruin your day, right?
curseoclock: (052)

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You sure? 'Cause it better be some strong fighting!

What? You don't know? [This is weird. He thought someone working for Robinson would know] Then why are you stuck in here?

[If another person more is aiming to have revenge on Robinson, then maybe the three of them can join forces! Yeah!

He's going to be disappointed once he finds out it's nothing like what he thinks]

[ does spooky wiggly fingers in his direction ]

A mosh pit but you have no shoes on.

Doubtful. But it's a starting point.

...

[ Oh. ]

Oh, that means they must've taken my lock picks. I knew something felt off. [ Dammit, how's he supposed to go snooping? Hopefully he'll find some hairpins or something around here... ]

Hopefully it's safe with the others. And there must be a camera around here somewhere... like a proper one, not the ones we had on our devices last time. If we can find it, you'll have a replacement until we get out of here.

Why would any of you be locked in here too? You all must be working against me!

[This man doesn't have that much of a spine, so he steps back, wondering if maybe he's facing someone ruthless and about to lock him further into this building

Tess, yep. Not Contessa. Never Contessa. Good call.

[ looks him up and down, making absolutely no motion to look at the profiles at all ]

You got a name?

Well, hello neighbour.

[He gives her a wave with his fingers.]

I’m rather afraid I have none of the answers for your questions. Quite the disappointment, really.

[He sounds far from down about it.]

Mmmmm... Yep! Ready!

[ rude ]

The queen of England, who are you?
covertizer: (36)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-12 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they're not going to do that. If they're ruthless enough to kidnap us all, why even bother asking them to let us go?

That never works.

[ fight him, sassy britches. ]

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-12 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Because being kidnapped isn't something to celebrate!? Shouldn't that be obvious?
curseoclock: (012)

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You should throw it and see what happens!

[DON'T.....]
yourfuture: (10)

[personal profile] yourfuture 2018-08-12 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I can blow out the windows.

[ sighs. ]

They dragged you back too, huh?
tannic: awaiting for the hint of a spark (just our hands clasped so tight)

[HE HAS CONSUMPTION, JUST LOOK AT HIM.]

Ah. It's a strange thing, isn't it? Somebody told me it was a "tablet," but I haven't the slightest idea what that means.

[He still thinks it's a fancy calculator. Like, that's just what "computer" means to him.]

I bet you're fun at parties, huh?

Don't you think new experiences are fun and exciting?
devotingly: all by me (sparkles) (Default)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-12 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course that's not going to work! [ stop sassing his sass, it's only making waver angrier! ] That's why I think that you insisting that I say please is stupid!
curseoclock: (014)

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, maybe! You should try!

[Sincere encouragement.]

Ha ha, sure did. I didn't think that was gonna happen, but I guess they changed their minds, huh?
