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 have been stuffed into this uniform just like the rest of you, but that hardly matters. What makes a clown is on the inside.

It's hard to believe that unless you prove it!

[Yeah, it's a challenge. Prove you're a clown!]

Prove myself?

[The concept throws him for a moment, and his composure cracks ever so slightly.]

Can't you tell I'm nothing like you?

Of course. I'm not a clown.

[Thaaat may not entirely be what he meant, hat guy]

Then that's all the proof you need.

[Said with a tight, twitching grin.]

[The Bowler Hat Guy stares at Gogol for a moment, eyes narrowed, before finally saying:]

...so...anyone who is not like me is a clown?

[He's taking the somewhat reasonable argument Gogol had to the very extreme. He's definitely doing it just to be stubborn]

In a way. If you find everyone else unlike you, you might just be a clown yourself.
