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? ]
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Why am I getting involved in this.....)

That's....!

[Just.... just give him an moment to process that.]

Normally I would think you've gone insane, but I've already met an alien today among other things so.... alright. Okay.

[He is handling this.]

Do.... do you have any sort of proof for this theory?

I don’t think there is a single individual here who would ever want you or your dead eyes to introduce themselves.
12d3: (Cos it seems to be conveyed that way)

[personal profile] 12d3 2018-08-13 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Murdoc gave the name to me, on account'a the two dents in my head.

[He points to his sunken in eyes.]

Sometimes people just call me D, though. And I think that's pretty cool, too. But if you want you can call me Stuart, I don't mind.

[In this house we love and appreciate computer memory.]

I don't think I can say the same, all things considered.

[You are way too Not Annoyed with this situation.]

[ Hank rolls his eyes. ]

Look, I might be old, but I'm not ancient. I know how a fucking tablet works. I can handle bluetooth and even self-driving cars when I have to.

[ Not that his is self-driving, mind you. His is a relic. ]

I meant the stuff in the tablet. The rules and the profiles or whatever. That shit.

I understand. These are not good circumstances to meet other people.

[ Rebecca turns on him, raising her arms with every word, like they're helping her to speak. Very much trying to gesticulate, constantly, even though...it doesn't quite fit the way she carries herself. ]

How can anyone expect me to stay calm after waking up in an unfamiliar place, all these...these kidnapped teenagers to look after, when I should be trying to just--

[ Her voice catches in her throat and her grip goes lax. She's going to drop that tablet at this rate. ]

Just... [ ...The words just turn into a low groan. ]
donotlick: (iFRbkqo)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-13 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[ He turns the tablet over. No logos or anything, but they do look pretty old. ]

Guess these aren't made by Cyberlife for once. That, or they could give you a virus or something.

[ Connor has firewalls, he'd probably be fine. ]

Regardless, getting to know the others here will help no matter what your goals are.
throwabookatit: (i feel like i'm drowning in)

[personal profile] throwabookatit 2018-08-13 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes? Is this not yours?
12d3: (Don't think I'll be here too long)

[personal profile] 12d3 2018-08-13 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
A lotta stuff! Pop, punk, reggae, hip-hop, chill hop... we made up a genre for ourselves too called "zombie hip-hop" which I think sounds pretty soddin' cool.

That's not really my concern.

[ always use protection ]

Yeah, I got no damn clue who the hell you're talking about.

[ What the hell kind of a name is Krabs? ]
chumville: (014)

[personal profile] chumville 2018-08-13 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. Nope. Don’t need to deal with any more weirdos gettin up in my face today.

I.......................................



[.............. WELL THIS IS AN THING NOW.]


............ Okay. So time travel is.... no longer only in the realms of science fiction now. Okay.


[Give him a bit.]

And androids are real now too. Alright. Okay.

[Poe just.... lets out an long sigh.]

This mystery just keeps getting more and more complex.

That does sound cool - and very creative, to come up with your own genre.
donotlick: (iqTi5IU)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-13 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Guess that's fair.

[ He sucks in a breath. ]

How the fuck would you even stop somebody who could pull that shit?

Schemes are difficult when you don't have all of the variables.

[ just saying. ]
yourfuture: (07)

[personal profile] yourfuture 2018-08-13 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then let's uh... work to get you back to that!
machrophage: ([to look on])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-13 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then what do you intend to do about it?

[HE STILL WANTS TO FIGHT.]
