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? ]

Hey, you're not totally useless.

[ Oh, shit, did he hurt his feelings?? Androids don't have feelings!! But also Connor? Looks sad? ]

You've got your analyzers and shit, right? And you can still kick ass.

[preconstruction]

[ he's Not Sad he doesn't have feelings. ]

I will perform those functions as best as I'm able.

[donotlick]

[ you can't hide those puppydog eyes from Hank. ]

Yeah. So don't get depressed or anything -- you're still an android.

[preconstruction]

You don't have to worry about that, Lieutenant. As you pointed out, androids do not have feelings.

[donotlick]

[ Hank squints. ]

Alright, if you say so.

[preconstruction]

[ buddy dont drop his instability down and then get upset. ]

Have you met the others yet?

[donotlick]

Some of 'em, yeah. Buncha crazies, most of em. What do you think so far?

[ Just pretend it's a case, it's fine. ]

[preconstruction]

There's certainly...a mix of personalities.

[donotlick]

So in other words... a bucnha crazies. Good to know we made the same assessment.

Anybody stand out to you so far?

[preconstruction]

Not yet. I'll let you know if that changes.

[donotlick]

Well, I met an alien, so that's something.

[preconstruction]

Which one?

[donotlick]

Shit, there's more than one? I meant Viral. The dude with the hands.

[preconstruction]

I don't know - there are a couple here who don't look human.

[donotlick]

Guess so. And I mean one dude's from Mars, so does he count even though he's human? Shit, what the hell's going on here?

[preconstruction]

It seems like we're all from different times or places.

[ which reminds him ]

What's the last thing you remember happening?

[donotlick]

Uh, well you just finished talking down Carlos Ortiz's android. And Reed almost shot you through the head, the fucking dumbass.

[preconstruction]

That's the last thing I remember, too.

[donotlick]

Huh. Well it looks like we're on the same page, at least. Guess that's good.

[preconstruction]

Yes. I should let you go look around more -- we can talk later.
