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? ]

[Gogol maintains a smile, but his eyes betray an uncharacteristic melancholy.]

How unfortunate. To be a bird, yet a man at the same time.

[she's had much worse, Osomatsu!]

It's okay, we're all on edge, pretty much all the time!

[It's not his fault that things suck. and she appreciates it when people consider her cute or more than just 'plain'.

Her hand hovers to over his screen, pointing to the appropriate app.

Here. I figured out it's this one. [after learning from someone else.]

I will, good sir!

Thanks!

[ He opens up the profiles. ]

...Shitty NEET?

[ Hoo boy. ]

Good. Keep it up, and you just might be a minion someday!

...What? What's a "NEET"...

[Peers at the screen.]

...Osomatsu?

[It's a diplomatic reply if he's ever heard one, and he lets the silence stretch on a little bit longer before he blinks, with the intensity fading from his gaze.]

Just as long as we're clear on that. ...Anyways, let's go.

[And without bothering to wait for a response, he starts walking again.]

[personal profile] ososoi 2018-08-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)


Oh-- Uh, NEET just stands for something like 'not in school, doesn't have a job, not training for anything'!

And yeah, I'm Osomatsu! Matsuno Osomatsu! [ It's a dumb name. ]

[It probably would be pitiable either way, but Orga's so used to dealing with asshole adults he... basically has lost any shits to give. One upside is he has no weapon though, so the only thing he does is just get up into Bowler Hat Guy's personal space.]

And? Start talkin'. What were you trying to accomplish?

[Because as far as Orga knows, the sequence of events went something along the lines of:

talk to guy -> guy leaves -> guy stalks him -> guy tries to attack him -> ????]

[ Hank smirks. Anybody who calls their home a shithole can't be too bad. ]

Shit, that's some far future from me. It was only 2038 back home.

"Birds in cages"... that's also not true. People have the right to do whatever they want. It's not as if they're being forced to do what they're doing.

Wherever you come from must be... some different planet or something, because everyone back home, for the most part lives in buildings above ground.

Beastman.

[Since she didn't quite ask.]

And I'm sure you are. Not everyone can excel at physical strength.

[He... might be throwing her a bone, there?]
donotlick: (ek6iq3B)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-16 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, he knows trauma when he sees it. He won't ask. ]

That's right. I'm from Detroit, so that's just the police department there.

[He looks a bit considering at the meeting suggestion before he nods.]

...Sounds good. Don't know how many of you guys are around in here, but it can't hurt to make sure everyone's on the same page. And... maybe there'd be some ideas to get a plan going.

[Stand on a table and unleash your inner charisma, Terra!!]
machrophage: ([getting loud])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-16 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
We'll see about that, won't we?

Trust me, I'm a cop. [ haha ] An operation this big? They aren't gonna be taking their chances.
machrophage: ([arms fold])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-16 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Considering that you've never even heard of beastmen, I think that's very likely the case.
donotlick: (iFRbkqo)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-16 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a personal problem.

[ He just doesn't know what to do about this clown. ]

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-16 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ohhhhh my goddddd. He's dealing with a child. That actually makes Hank take a breath and force a smile. ]

Okay, pal. You have fun with your delusions.

[ He's stepping... away. Now. Slowly. ]

[ maybe he's just won over easily by the use of ":D" in text ]

It takes a lot of effort to kidnap all of these people; there must be a reason behind it.
donotlick: (rN7ySsq)

[personal profile] donotlick 2018-08-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Shame.

[ He shakes his head. Drinking is great! ]

Tell you what, pal. I'll keep an eye out for your clothes. Lemme guess, black? A cape? A monocle to go with that handlebar mustache?
preconstruction: (KRuqu0G)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-16 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. You don't have to be upset on my behalf.
machrophage: ([tch irritant])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-16 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
But will they tell us outright?

[His expression fills in the 'probably not.']
