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? ]

Sure are! A lot of people, even!

[A lot of people who she's stumbled into. At least this guy looks a little normal?]

Hey, can I ask you something?

Yeah, I ran into him earlier, too. I think the fun silver-haired dude is here! I mean I saw him, so it's not thinking, but. You know.

[The man leans forward. Hmmmm...he reads aloud, slowly]

Drag the screen...

[Oh. It's not merely press it. Well that sure goes a bit far from what he's used to]

I got it! You gotta drag the screen. Come on. Drag it.

[...okay, maybe at this point he is waiting to see what happens. Doris had been the one to activate the tablet and give it to him to peruse, he hadn't really turned it on himself]

Don't make fun of me, idiot!

[ goddamn it, is everyone in this place trying to anger him? ]

There's nothing fun about being kidnapped. Besides, I don't need to have fun in the first place! That's such a waste of time...

Ah... alright then. I'll show you how it works. It's simple really.

[Poe just double taps the screen and quickly explains in simple terms how to navigate around the tablet's features. It sounds like he's explored everything currently on there already.

... finally, we have the profiles right here. There are about... 26 or 28 of us total if the profile number is any indication.

[He points to the dashes separating Megumi and Oswald's profiles from the rest.]

I say 'us' because of this here. These two profiles are separate from the rest of ours, so... It wouldn't be an large leap of logic to believe that they are different in status than the rest of us. The profiles appear rather meticulous albeit incorrect in some aspects, so... it makes little sense that whoever coded this would randomly separate two from the rest of us. Unless, they're not apart of our... 'group' I suppose. I mean. Their titles don't follow the obvious pattern of Apprentice of X or Apprentice X that everyone in our group's title fits....

[Poe pauses for an few seconds in thought and then quickly navigates over to the texts he woke up to.]

Ah... I suppose that this is flimsy in terms of evidence, but the text message that I received upon waking here was from meguman22922. I... don't venture online much, but I think that people sometimes use their names in their usernames. So 'Megu'man22922... could maybe be 'Megumi' Sato? In which case... that does fit in line with my theory of them being in an separate group from us. Meguman22922 obviously is involved in what is going on here in the first place, if not the one responsible for kidnapping us. Megumi's title of Junior Administrator makes sense in that regard. Though, it appears Oswald is above her in rank, based on his title...

[Poe trails off of his mini-deduction tangent as he remembers what he was original
ly doing. Whoops. At any rate, that whole spiel shows that he's at the very least an competent detective.]

[ Some of her ire rises as a wave, as she spins on heel to address the person talking to her... ]

No, I am- [ ...and then it breaks on the rocks, as she takes in the concerned young man. Around the age of one of her students, it seems. ] ...I- I'm...not, entirely, no. [ A hand to her head. ] I'm sorry, I need a minute.

I don't think it's a bomb, so I doubt that would be helpful.

You're taking this pretty well.

A-ah... So embarrassing.... Sorry! I haven't had time to sit down and fully analyze all the information I deduced from the profiles, so all my deductions and theories all sort of spilled out as I thought of them... I... hope that.... that was not too annoying to listen to. And. Well. That you understand how to use an tablet now.

The queen of-- [He hasn't heard a thing about England in a couple decades. Maybe at some point they did get a new queen -- a...a very young, rude queen. What was England thinking?] Oh. Sorry, your---majesty? Anyway. My name doesn't matter.

[Because he's getting out of this building and has no time for socializing! Even with the supposed queen of England]

Right. And I didn't kidnap you, so there's no reason not to say please.

Yeah, with the "phone" ones, it's like...it doesn't feel private, or personal. I hope I can find another one.

Wait, you had lock picks that entire time!? You weren't like, sneaking into other people's rooms, were you!?

Just do it! That's how it works.

There's no way to know for sure, but you should definitely be preparing for the worst.

...The most important thing is, we all need to have each other's back. If one card falls, the whole house comes down.

[ Wow. So reassuring. ]

I did mean the kidnapping situation, but good to know.

[ Note: don't get caught outside, alone, at night, with clownman. ]

And so you will learn to be more prepared!

Are you ready? ...oh, of course you’re not.

Question one! What is my name?

But... But your...eyes, they're... [ Rebecca kneels down a bit, to get a better look. They look completely black, but in them, there's maybe...a little red. ] Did something happen?

I used them to break into the faculty rooms on the first day and after that there wasn't much else to use them for.
