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? ]

[ Oso flinches as soon as she starts yelling. Yep, that startled him. So when she suddenly goes into nonchalance mode (or at least, 'not loud' mode) to greet him, he's just baffled. ]

Uh... s-sup?

[yourfuture]

I wasn't yelling at you, dude, don't worry.

[ososoi]

[ ...oh! ]

[ Oso sheepishly rubs the back of his head. ]

Ehh, I know, it's fine, it's fine... You just kinda spooked me is all!

Now uh, have you seen my brothers? They all look like me. All five of them!

[ He's gonna ask this question a lot, isn't he? ]

[yourfuture]

Uh... nope, you're the first version of your face I've seen today?

[ososoi]

...So I'm the only one here then. [ He's just becoming resigned at this point. ]

Why's it gotta be only me?!

[yourfuture]

I dunno, man, I'm glad no one with a familiar face is stuck in here with me.

[ososoi]

But it's always been us brothers together! [ Usually. It's complicated. ] I can't just deal with this bullshit alone!

And my brothers need me! They're probably shittin' themselves not knowing where I am!

[yourfuture]

Hey, man, all I know is what I know. I'm going to get home and Kelton's going to have eaten nothing but potato chips since I left.

[ososoi]

Yeah, I know how you feel. I hate it when that happens! [ Let's face it, Jyushimatsu's probably gonna eat Oso's share of food while the latter's gone. ]

...Name's Osomatsu, by the way. Matsuno Osomatsu!

[yourfuture]

Tess. Tess Rubikov.

[ososoi]

Well, it's nice to meet ya, Tess-chan! [ Oso is talking to a cute girl and not fucking up it's a miracle ]

By the way, do ya know what's going on?

[yourfuture]

[ the angels are singing ]

Uh... if it's like the last place I woke up in, we're kidnapped by an asshole named Todd and his slightly less asshole friends.

[ososoi]

Yeah, someone told me earlier. I already know that bit. Why would this Todd asshole keep pulling this shit off?!

[yourfuture]

I think he gets off on it, honestly.

[ososoi]

He probably jacks off to this so he can go to sleep at night.

[yourfuture]

Oh, for sure. Just sitting in front of a bunch of CCTVs, going at it. But no one ever taught him how and he never figured it out, so he just fucking twirls it between his hands.

[ososoi]

[ Now you're speaking his language! ]

Yeahahahaha! He doesn't know how to fap! And then one day he's gonna try too hard and rip his dick off!

[yourfuture]

We can only hope, Osomatsu. We can only hope he gives me that kind of material.

[ososoi]

Yeah, that'd be the best! [ Yep, he's laughing his ass off. ] Ya know, you're pretty cool, Tess-chan!

[yourfuture]

Thanks. Anyway, someone's gotta be, in this place.
