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, Tess-san. Let's go with that.

[She's right, it rolls off the tongue easier.]

You don't have to do the same to me if you aren't used to it, but I don't mind nicknames.

[There's a nod at his introduction. And because he's just that blunt:]

You don't sound that enthusiastic about it. [Not like he's saying it accusingly or anything, but it's just an observation.]

Iiiii did, yeah. Lots of profiles, didn't really memorize any.

[More like nothing interesting jumped to him so he decided it wasn't worth reading. So if they got his name from the profiles, what else could there be about him? This guy gets his tablet out, struggling a bit with it. You know what, better ask Connor himself]

What--what else did it say about me?

[The Bowler Hat Guy thinks for a moment. What will give him the edge here? Say the truth and admit he knows nothing, or say he knows about it and fish for answers? Hmmmm...

...you know what, this man clearly has some sort of authority. Getting in trouble with authority isn't really something he wants right now]


I dunno what that's all about, I'm just going to the classroom to get some answers. [He appears rather nonchalant, as if he's not worried at all] Talk to this Meguman22922 person, demand to be freed, all that.

[He hadn't intended to talk about his immediate plan, but by now it's clear he knows nothing, eh?]

[He's kind of torn between being skeptical or not but then again, it's not like it's the first time he's encountered technology he's never seen before so... eh. Maybe it's just an Earth thing, maybe it's an artifact from before the Calamity War. Who knows, but he'll roll with it.]

Huh. So is that the only thing you do?

I assist detectives with investigations.

[He crosses his arms, unamused about this situation]

Anyway, I'm not interested in staying for classes. What self-respecting villain goes to class? This is silly!

[Too cool for school. But yeah, he's fully invested in villainy for the time being]

Well, it's kind of hard to be enthusiastic in this sort of situation, don't you think?

It’s no work ethic. That’s just the natural state of the clown. A contrarian, prankster, and fool, detached from reason in all situations. It’s what separates them from humans.

Twenty-six?

[Okay, that's pretty strange. Huh. Okay, think for a moment, hat guy. Twenty-six people got kidnapped, it's unlikely Mr. Keep Moving Forward had anything to do with it...

...well all he's sure about is that he just got himself into a big heaping of trouble and this time he has no idea how things got to this point]


This is nonsense! They can't just kidnap twenty-something people and put them in--in-- [...in...what was this place, again? The tablet mentions classrooms, so...] --any random school. I'm going to talk to the principal!

[Having decided his course of actions, he walks away, clearly displeased about everything. Feel free to follow him!]

As a queen, and therefore inherently a villain, I am right there with you, my man. We can skip class and go smoke behind the bleachers or something.

I do. I expect we'll get the change during the "orientation." It's good to think in advance what sort of things we'd like to ask.

[ not everyone can have a computer for a brain. ]

It would be difficult, but not impossible to do so. That could be more or less true depending on the year.

[ like 2017, probably easy. ]

[Oh. Oh, rats, he heard him. If he sees him, he's toast. The guy nudges his hat]

Distract him. I'll get past him.

[From a window he can see a bit of another building -- the main building of the university, yup. That must be the place Orga was going to, he decides. If he can get in there first, maybe he can sneak inside before Orga does, get some advantage over him. Do an ambush if he has to.

Doris really doesn't see the point of any of this. To her it's obvious Orga knows nothing, and she knows this will end in nonsense. It'll be quicker to just play along instead of trying to convince the Bowler Hat Guy to stop this. She hovers to the closest open door she can find and slams it closed, hiding and expecting Orga to approach, so the Bowler Hat Guy can pass through and descend down the staircase.

Instead, this guy opens a window right there in the hallway, climbs onto the windowsill and just...jumps down. To the grass outside. He most likely wasn't quick enough, Orga may notice someone jumped from a window, even if he didn't see who exactly it was]

Theoretically any, but the cases I have worked on involve deviant androids who murdered their owners.

[ but everyone here is fine connor isnt a deviant. ]

I dunno. Someone wronged you, ruined your hopes and dreams, kept you awake all night and made you so tired you couldn't stay awake the next day -- there are so many reasons to hold a grudge.

[Talking as if holding grudges was nothing to be ashamed of]

Maybe. I don't think looking for it would be a waste - you never know what you might stumble across.

We'll have a better sense after orientation.

Point taken.

[It would definitely be weirder to see someone being all excitable and perky about this, that's for sure. Either way, he'll let it drop. Besides, there's something else he's more interested in anyways.]

By the way, mind if I ask where you were before you got taken here?

That's the spirit!

[He's already scheming. There would be so many advantages to having royalty as his minion. She already called herself a villain, that's a good sign, but first! First he'll have to make sure she'll be willing to join forces.

And for that, he figures he should just...do what she wants. Smoking? He's not sure he should, but...alright...how hard can that be, he decides. Grinning cheesily, he motions down the hallway]


Right after you, your majesty!

[He just hopes he won't regret too much following her before he finally brings up his collaboration proposal]
