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? ]

Oh, I will.

[kinda jabbing a finger at him. personal space nothing.]

You’ll be the first to know once I steal your secret formula, fatso!

[and then they pull a grand piano out of the storage closet]

Yeah. I didn't see any maps 'round here but there's probably a music room, I think.

[He's not very good at using his tablet yet.]

Nope. Don’t need luck.

Maybe! It's the Yakuza! They can do all kinds of shit!

...By the way, the fuck's wrong with yer eyes? [ Wait, you're only asking this now? ]

I don't know. It'll depend on what they say.

[hes so friendly!]

A couple months.

They moved us off site for a while, though. But when I was first taken, we were all kept here for two weeks. Basically...I've done this all before. It was just like this the first time.

The kidnapping part? ... Unfortunately. But it's not as if she meant any harm.

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-13 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this whole calling us 'apprentices' and dropping us in a school is pretty fucking insulting.

[ He glances back at his tablet. "Android crimes?" C'mon. ]

What're they even gonna teach us? How to break out of a school?

[ stranger things have probably happened. ]

There's a map on the tablet. Have you had a chance to look at it?
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Why am I getting involved in this.....)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-13 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Why bother to put so much detail into profiles and show them to everyone if they're going to be fabricated?

[Poe just.... sighs.]

But skepticism is good. Though, I warn you that a few of the other.... kidnapping victim's here will shake the skepticism simply because of what they are.

Did they tell your their purpose for keeping you here?
donotlick: (ChrDi4B)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-13 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's good. Last thing I need to hear is some android overlords deciding to turn deviant and kidnap a bunch of people to run weird tests on 'em or something.
blackcatintheruemorgue: (SHOCK)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-13 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me!?

[That's probably the highest his voice has gone in years.]

I- what- no! No! God no! I can't even remember the last time I saw my cousin!

[That applies to all of his family at this point, but whatever.]

They need us to become "heroes" for them or something stupid like that. Cultish nonsense...it's really freaky. I don't totally understand it myself.

We're here to be trained, I guess.
throwabookatit: (i'm just fine)

[personal profile] throwabookatit 2018-08-13 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I- ...No. Yes, no, I don't... [ She breathes out a sigh. Compose yourself, Rebecca. Stop thinking about everything else. About all the things swirling about her head. ] I...think being alone in an unfamiliar place wouldn't be a bright idea, for either of us, no?

[ Wow, okay, Hank's gonna try and shove him off. ]

Hey. Hands off. I'm being patient with you, but I don't have to keep playing nice if you keep pushing me.
preconstruction: (hKnrd5t)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
That seems ominous.
ososoi: i need that for blending things (give me back my blender)

[personal profile] ososoi 2018-08-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)


The kind of person who has too much fuckin' time on their hands, that's who! You could time travel for anything but no, let's just kidnap people from the past and future and force them to go to school! The fuck?!
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Um. Okay.)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-13 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well.... at least we'll still get something of an answer even if they refuse to say anything about it.

[Silence can say more than words sometimes after all.]

What, no Annabelle Lee? You're letting me down, man.

[ He's just enjoying this now, I guess. You get named after an author, you get shamed like an author. ]
throwabookatit: (it's driving me insane)

[personal profile] throwabookatit 2018-08-13 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Counting you and myself? Twenty-six, if this...bloody stupid list is correct.

[ Idly waves the tablet. ]
preconstruction: (sdRqRwW)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but sometimes it's better to wait and collect knowledge before starting to question.

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ You, child, are speaking his language. ]

Fuckin' exactly! What the hell is this, some kinda next-level escape room bullshit? They gonna give us a test at the of this or some shit?
throwabookatit: (i forget how to act)

[personal profile] throwabookatit 2018-08-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Opens mouth. Closes mouth.

...Opens mouth again. ]


I...think I'd rather be more comfortable with Stuart, yes. It sounds a bit more like...well, like a name.

[ Especially not "a name that's clearly a mean nickname" oh god. ]

Good deduction.

Can I ask you a question?
