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 never thought you’d resort to disguise, Krabs, but I’m glad to see you taking a page out of my book. Truly, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I don't pretend I know how it works, I just know how to be loud about how much I hate it.

[The man leans forward a bit, whispering in a conspiratorial manner, and asks because that's the only reason he can think for anyone to be trapped here]

Did you try to get revenge on...anyone...recently?

You know, the ones after “What the”.

[Maya, you just said a bunch of words that Grantaire, who died in 1832, does not understand.]

. . . Excuse me?

In the brief time i've been here, I've had around four people ask me if I was this guy who apparently is an occultist and is also an author like me.

[It's annoying.]

That.... is all I know about this doppelganger I've suddenly gained.

[Not.... gonna comment on the comment about his parents.]

That's correct.

[ And Osomatsu is a useless Japanese, so it all evens out! ]

Uh, literally it means 'uncle'. But back in Japan we tend to use it for old people as well! Plus it's friendly [ usually ]! And you do look kinda old!

[ connor holds up his hands. ]

It's on the profiles on the tablet - were you able to take a look at them?

2018. Why do you ask?

[personal profile] throwabookatit 2018-08-13 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I- I'll take responsibility for them, but I won't... I won't simply standby while you startle everyone out of their skin.

Nope, no clue.

[He just doesn't see the danger yet, since it's just.. kidnapped to go to school.. seems pretty safe to him probably.]

I thought maybe it was a music video set? But.. I think if that were the case I'd'a known about it. And our director would be yellin' "CUT!" at me a lot like usual.

Well, yes. If it breaks, the beeping will stop. However, then I will have destroyed someone else's property and I have no money, seeing as I am nothing more than a poor artist.

... You're very old to not know what "shit" and "fuck" mean. They're swear words, you say them when you're angry or because you're bored.

My theory is that we have been brought here from different times. I know it sounds strange, but so much of this already seems outside of the realm of possibility.

Yeah. Not a one hundred percent guarantee of murder, but keep your eyes open. The other shoe can and will drop.

I've never had the opportunity to sit and listen to music. What kind of music do you play?

[ .........Hank stares for a very long time.

Okay, it's more like 20 seconds or so but he can't even deny it.

Fine, alright. [ He siiighs. Boy, he could use a drink. ] Guess I can't deny being an old fart.

Your medieval fantasy words simply weren’t part of my vocabulary! Of course, I’ll be sure to be use [DOLPHIN NOISE] and [DOLPHIN NOISE] as part of my everyday conversation from this point forward!
