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? ]

Yeah, exactly! And if they keep doing it, I will...I will sue them!

[More like he'll bluff his socks off, because it's not like he can do anything else. He'll bluff all he can and hope they believe him]

[throwabookatit]

...Uh-huh. [ Oh god he's this kind of guy... ] Look, I'm of the same opinion as you, but maybe the people who kidnapped so many aren't interested in something like money?

[destroythefuture]

What else would they want? In movies that's what criminals want.

[He wants to believe it'd be as simple as that, if he ever was forced to deal with this more than he'd like to]

[throwabookatit]

Criminals aren't always like in movies, mister. A mass kidnapping like this seems like they're after something else.

[destroythefuture]

Like what? What else could they want?

[It sounds to him like you have an inkling what it could be, yep]

[throwabookatit]

Well, uh... [ Here's a snag. ] There...there could be all sorts of reasons! I just...don't quite know what they are, yet.

[destroythefuture]

How disappointing...

[He was looking forward to finding out what Rebecca had in mind he can't avoid but feel disappointed. It shows in his face for a moment beore he decides it's not that big of a deal]

It doesn't matter anyway. We have to get out and that's all we have to worry about. Their reasons are none of my concern!

[Pretty telling he says 'my concern', because yeah. All he cares is about getting out]

[throwabookatit]

[ Haha, wow. Self-centered, much. ]

I suppose they aren't. ...Do you really know where you're going, by the way, mister...?
