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? ]

[ $500 on "yes that's exactly what he thought". ]

You're looking for someone specific?

[ ... ]

Good question. Probably more than 15-20, if I were to take a wild stab in the dark.

[pathofconquest]

Yes. The person who summoned me. Not that I know the first thing about this person. Nevertheless that person is my Master.

[ Them's the rules. ]

Does that include yourself?

[covertizer]

[ Mmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

You might want to wait, before you make that pledge. Technically, I've been summoned here and I'm not a Servant. [ Whatever that is. ]

Yeah, it does.

[pathofconquest]

[ A STRANGE NEW DEVELOPMENT?!?! ]

...so you're neither a Master nor a Servant?

[covertizer]

Nope.

[ He's a Wild Card. ]

I'm just me. No fancy titles or... roleplay titles or whatever those are.

[pathofconquest]

Even in my time, I could not claim the same. Whether it is Heir or King or Servant, titles have always come and gone in my life.

[ There's something carefree and wonderful about the way this boy claimed that. ]

[covertizer]

[ Two of those things are not like the other. ]

Heir? Heir to what?

[pathofconquest]

The throne, of course. Of Macedon. As I am now, it'll still be two years before I take it from my father.

[ Oh. Yeah. Sure. Cool. ]

[covertizer]

...

Macewhere?

[ I mean. Throne sounds important?? Real important. ]
