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? ]

[It's a diplomatic reply if he's ever heard one, and he lets the silence stretch on a little bit longer before he blinks, with the intensity fading from his gaze.]

Just as long as we're clear on that. ...Anyways, let's go.

[And without bothering to wait for a response, he starts walking again.]

[ After a moment, Rebecca feels herself unfreeze, shoulders drooping and breath returning.

How could such a boy be so intense? This just...makes her worry, more.

Regardless, before he gets too far away, she follows, pace quick to catch up. ]

[unhalting]

[Maybe one day you'll unlock his backstory, Rebecca. One day...

But for now, it's a silent walk over to the Faculty Office. If he's feeling any of the awkwardness in the air, he sure isn't showing it with the way he strides down the halls, surely and steadily. The campus is only so large, so it isn't long before they reach their destination. He eyes the closed door before turning to Rebecca.]

Ready?

[throwabookatit]

[ The walk there's given her some time to clear her mind, and when Orga looks to her, Rebecca nods. ]

As I'll ever be.

[ Normally, there would be some kind of courtesy involved in all this. Right now? Rebecca just reaches for the doorknob and turns. ]

...It's locked.

[unhalting]

[He doesn't show much in the way of surprise when he hears Rebecca's remark. With a small sigh, Orga steps closer to the door and raps on the wood a couple of times, pausing for any sign of life on the other side. But when that doesn't elicit a response, he just lowers his hand back to his side.]

Guess it would've been too easy to let us in like that.

[throwabookatit]

Bloody cowards, that's what they are.

[ Ah, it's activated Rebecca's Temper Attack. ]

[unhalting]

[...Ah. That's the same fire she showed when she stormed out of her room with the tablet, isn't it? Orga doesn't show much of a reaction outwardly, but really, he can't blame her.]

Maybe. But right now they have one up on us, so there isn't much we can do about it. Just gotta find some other way to get to 'em.

[throwabookatit]

Mm. Even if this has been completely useless... Thank you, for accompanying me.

[ The ire's still in her voice, but she does sound sincere, despite another knock on the door. ]

[unhalting]

Don't mention it. Besides, it wasn't a bad idea to check.

[Although for now, it looks like the only option they have left is to wait.]
