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? ]

You— That’s not—

[ he doesn’t know what to do at this point. the stranger’s sudden gentleness makes waver want to know more, but he’s also too afraid to open up to someone like this. even if it’s not mockery, he— ]

Don’t— don’t talk about me as if you know me!

[ waver wastes no time in running away; he’s done talking. ]

[ And so it goes...

However, Terra isn't willing to let this go without telling him something and so his expression kind of tightens. ]


This isn't a normal school, by the way; they made us believe it was going to be harmless 'studying' and taking normal exams to help out their world. But the reality is those upstairs want us to be pit up against each other.

They expected -- or actually "encouraged" -- one of us to kill someone and then when it happened, had us all deliberate over it too.

There's also lethal consequences for not following the rules.

They said something about judging us to see if we were good enough to help them, or something? I think they mentioned saving the world.

I think the whole thing's preeeeeetty crazy and that's coming from me.

Aw, darn, you got me there.

Then... a quizmaster?

[Gogol makes no attempt to chase him down; they’ll be spending plenty enough time together in the coming days. Instead, he gives him a parting wave and calls out to him as he goes, menacing cheer returning to his voice.]

Just remember what I said, Waver Velvet!

That's right. I can't say them knowing earlier will prevent anything from happening, but at least it'll give them time to prepare.

[ He shakes his head with a small smile. ]

Still, it's good to know we feel ths same way about this.

A quizmaster? You really think so?

[You’ll make him blush.]

Hey Max... I'm Rantaro. Rantaro Amami.

[Kinda weird going by first name for someone you just met, but what can ya do?]

Anyway, I ran into another person who was in a place like this, and she said a guy named Todd forced someone to murder. Can you tell me more about that?

Theoretically, I don't disagree. But human emotions are not so simple. They can't just feel something different when they feel it would be more appropriate.

I was working on an investigation with my partner. We had just finished a successful interrogation.

Some of this information seems suspect.

[ like his weakness being hank??? ]

But the rest of it seems like information that would be in a normal police database.
preconstruction: (we're in a different kind of thing now)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, at least. I doubt this is the entirety of the campus.

It will likely be easier if we work together as a group.

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ it's still so strange to him people dont know what that is ]

I apologize, I am a machine.

[ buddy dont drop his instability down and then get upset. ]

Have you met the others yet?

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand the question.
preconstruction: (PBQOHlp)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-13 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[ especially with all the time shenanigans, too. ]

That makes whatever we're dealing with that much more complex.

It's an LED. It displays my current status.

Oh, yes. I am a single-celled organism of influence - most people want to be me.

An artificial life built for upholding law and justice?

[He takes a moment to think it over, and his face falls.]

How enviable, and how sad.
covertizer: (010)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-13 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think anyone else would either.

[ Not for the same reasons though... ]

Yeah, it's definitely a little strange.

[ But he mentioned a 'normal police database'... ] Do you think they might have hacked the police databases?

[ Well he has been feeling some achin' in his joints... ]

It's a University. And we're probably trapped here until someone decides otherwise. [ If at all. ]
