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? ]

Hmmm...

Well! This is great, then. It's a little, what do you call it... cultural exchange! And you can tell me more about what you are!

You're far too enthusiastic about this.

[Why is this.]

Aw, well, I can't help it. I've never met a whatever-you-are before, so I'm all excited! I wanna know everything!

Beastman. And most humans haven't.

[They try to keep it that way.]

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that like the Taguel?

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never heard of such a creature.

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They're like... a lot furrier than people. And they got the big ears... [he mimes some long taguel ears] ...kinda like a bunny!

And they can transform into these really huge rabbit beasts. But you don't look very rabbitty!

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not. I'm primarily a mixture of feline and shark. And I don't transform - [He says the word with a little confusion.] - at all.

Can you breathe underwater?
machrophage: ([tch irritant])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-12 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No. It's generally only the purely aquatic beastmen who have gills.

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-12 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you smell blood from like a mile away?
machrophage: ([to look on])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-13 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
A few dozen meters, at least.

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, cool! I'm jealous. Being a beastman must be way better than being a boring ol' human, huh?
machrophage: ([tch irritant])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-13 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
I would imagine so. I've never been a human.

[Kind of hard to judge, but also, he's glad of that.]
curseoclock: (010)

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's dumb. And boring. It just means being really fragile and not being super good at anything and we don't even have claws or wings or super sharp fangs or ANYTHING.

It's really unfair.
machrophage: ([to look on])

[personal profile] machrophage 2018-08-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Truly pitiful. You have my sympathy.

[No he doesn't but also how is he supposed to get away from this conversation.]
curseoclock: (073)

[personal profile] curseoclock 2018-08-13 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, right?

[getting away? oh you poor fool, there is no getting away]

So, so, what other cool things can you do? Tell me everything.
