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? ]

I think a plankton would know the difference, stupid!

You're a little big for plankton, small as you are.

[Nailed it.]

Thank you! I’m glad somebody recognizes the great strides I have made with my height.

Good for you.

[Not actually impressed.]

Oh, yes. Very. Good for you as well - when I take over this place, you can happily say you’re ruled by someone of great stature.

[...Don't mind when he snorts.]

Don't get ahead of yourself. You're still quite a bit smaller than me.

[...eye twitch.]

And yet, I have the intellect and determination of someone ten feet taller than me! Do not patronize me, my good man.

We'll see about that, won't we?
chumville: (015)

[personal profile] chumville 2018-08-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Depends. I’m not sure if you’re smart enough to process something like that.

...Right.

[Says the guy who thinks they're breathing water right now.]

Do me a favor, and tell me how the showers work out for you.
