Awaken...

[lockdownmods]

[ 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 shit. Anyone else from our motley crew around? Or uh... any of them definitely not around?

[covertizer]

You're the first person I've come across. I'm not sure about the others...

[ ... ]

Well, we know who won't be here. From before.

[yourfuture]

[ ... ]

Yeah. Do you think whoever's shooting us messages is some poor new help he's got for running this joint?

[covertizer]

Probably. I don't think they could run something on this scale with just two people and however many robots they had lying around.

[ ... ]

And it's not like he can rehire Vivi-chan.

[yourfuture]

Yeah. Maybe this new person will be nice, who knows. Good cop bad cop shit.

[covertizer]

It's not exactly difficult to be nicer than Todd.

[yourfuture]

Yeah, papercuts in a lemon orchard are more fun to have than Todd Mcfarlane.

[covertizer]

[ He actually kinda shudders at that one. ]

Owch. That'd be a close one, but... yeah. You're spot on.

[yourfuture]

[ does spooky wiggly fingers in his direction ]

A mosh pit but you have no shoes on.

[covertizer]

[ He's never been in a mosh pit but that already sounds terrible. ]

Being surrounded by food and not being able to eat any of it.

[yourfuture]

You get a tattoo but one of the letters is backwards.

[covertizer]

You get all the way to the station, only to realise you forgot your train pass.

[yourfuture]

Oof. Then you fall asleep on the train and wake up on the end of the line.

[covertizer]

And it was the last train of the night.

[yourfuture]

And there aren't any taxis.

[covertizer]

The hotels are all fully booked.

[yourfuture]

And then you stub your toe.

[covertizer]

Or just break it, go the whole way.
