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? ]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ he's doing great at this meeting people thing. ]

I woke up here, yes. The confusion seems to be a uniting factor.

[ oh sure, a lot of pleasure to meet someone in this crazy kidnapping house.

waver bites back the snarky comment, and sighs. ]


Uniting factor? I guess you could call it like that. There’s a lot of things I’d like to ask our captors, whenever the hell they show up.

You might get your chance during orientation.

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-13 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[ he sighs, giving connor a closer look. ]

What’s— what’s that on your temple?

[ waver points at his own temple to show which side he’s talking about. he’s referring to the circle thing that i don’t know what it’s called because i’m dumb. ]

It's an LED. It displays my current status.

[ he turns his head so waver can see it ]
devotingly: all by me (sparkles) (pic#)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-13 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

[ LED lights are something that waver doesn't usually see; the clock tower knows little about technology.

but, between the LED light, the strange wording, but the relatively human like appearance, waver can't help but come to a conclusion that he thought he would never arrive to. ]


Are you...some sort of robot?

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's correct. I am an android, created by CyberLife.

[ it's not that waver doesn't believe connor.

it's that he's too damn confused to even begin to doubt him. ]


Right so...you're from the future, I guess. Because we don't have anything like androids where I'm from.
preconstruction: (and i can't explain it)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I might be. It was 2038 before I arrived here.
devotingly: (pic#12458774)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-14 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
What?!

[ well, waver feels a little bit embarrassed about shouting but????? 2038????

focus, waver. don't look like an idiot here...even if he's unsure of whether or not the android cares. ]


Sorry. It's just surprising, I guess. It was 1994 last time I checked, so I never thought I'd see...someone from so far in the future.

[ it's cool, he'll let him work through this. ]

I understand, it must be quite a shock on top of everything else.
devotingly: (pic#12458773)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-14 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Shocking and confusing, I guess. Especially when you think about how whoever or whatever took us had the strength to take people from different times.

[ he sighs. waver would think about asking whoever shows up at 'orientation' but he doubts he'll receive an answer. so instead, he'll focus on what's right in front of him. ]

Well, what's 2038 like? Did World War III happen already?
preconstruction: (PBQOHlp)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-14 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, but it seems imminent.

[ sorry 2038 is mcfucked ]

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-15 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...that's not surprising.

[ disappointed, but not surprised. ]

And androids like you...are they common?
preconstruction: (41JE8MM)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-08-16 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Androids are a part of many human's lives now. Most households have one.

Wow...

[ he can only imagine that, by this point, the mage's association is either on fire or close to, but doesn't mention it. ]

That sounds amazing, but I imagine that it must be difficult for some people to accept.

There is certainly some...frustration, among the humans.
devotingly: (pic#12458772)

[personal profile] devotingly 2018-08-19 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not surprising. Accepting changes isn't something we're known for.

It's scary for them. They're afraid of losing their jobs.
