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? ]

If they have more stuff like that...memory junk, which I'm positive they do, it's pretty scary.

[Grim grim grim. This is so freaking grim. It's awful.]

The least they could've done was let me keep my camera. And my diary. They took all my stuff this time, the jerks.

...I had some really nice polaroids of a lot of us, too.

[ Oh. ]

Oh, that means they must've taken my lock picks. I knew something felt off. [ Dammit, how's he supposed to go snooping? Hopefully he'll find some hairpins or something around here... ]

Hopefully it's safe with the others. And there must be a camera around here somewhere... like a proper one, not the ones we had on our devices last time. If we can find it, you'll have a replacement until we get out of here.

Yeah, with the "phone" ones, it's like...it doesn't feel private, or personal. I hope I can find another one.

[...]

Wait, you had lock picks that entire time!? You weren't like, sneaking into other people's rooms, were you!?

[ Max, you're just a hipster. Let's be honest. ]

What? No!

I used them to break into the faculty rooms on the first day and after that there wasn't much else to use them for.

[LET HER LIVE

Smiling, she points to her eyes and then at Akira's.]


Not "much", huh...[pokes her fist into his arm playfully. Yeah, they're all about to horrifically kill each other probably, but maybe they can try to have a little bit of fun.]

Mr. Operates Outside of the Law Vigilante Superhero...

[ Wow such faith. He feels so cared for, so loved. ]

What, were you planning on doing everything Todd tells you do like a good little girl?

[she's shoving u with her extremely powerful 100lb body]

Gross! I'm totally rebellious, I'm just saying, don't go sneaking into my room when you're on a CSI kick.

[ oh no!!! he has been!! defeated. by all 100lbs of Max Caulfield. ]

Rebellious, huh. By choosing film cameras over phone ones?

If we manage to stay out of trouble, then I won't have break into anything. Win/Win.

[ ... ]

Although there's not much I could do until I found a replacement for my lock picks anyway.

Ouch. You got me.

Are you telling me you're not boy-genius enough to create a lock-pick out of basic tenth grade school supplies?
covertizer: (030)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I win.

And, yeah. I make my own at home. If you know anyone with hair pins, send them my way.

You make––

[a single, hearty laugh.]

I was totally joking, Akira. You're insane!

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-12 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm resourceful. They don't just sell them at the convenience store.

[personal profile] reshoot 2018-08-13 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Buying them online wasn't an option?

[purses her lips]

I'll ask for hair clips if I can. Should seem reasonable for a girl.

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-08-13 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. It was easier to just buy the components and make as many as I wanted.

[ Max, you're his hero. The true MVP. ]

Great. I'll owe you one. [ And then he kinda... fluffs his own fringe. ] Then again I could probably get away with asking for a couple if I messed this up a bit more.

Are you implying your hair can even get messier?

If it rains and gets humid...

... then yeah.

[ Also, wow. His hair is lovely. ]
