[Entrance Exam] Arrival
You wake up. There’s a dull, throbbing pain in your head that lasts for a few moments. You’re slightly disoriented at first, but once you come to your senses, you realize that you are not where you were last. You lift your head and realize that you're sitting at a desk. You aren’t quite sure where this is, exactly, but from what you can tell--desk and all--this appears to be some sort of...fancy classroom. Maybe there are others in the room who are as lost and confused as you are; maybe you’re the only one. At least you’re not in the dark. The room is well-lit, giving you a proper view of the blue and silver designs that make up the school’s colors.
You feel something around your wrist, so look down at your hands and notice a strange sort of bracelet. Some of you may be able to discern that it's some sort of Fitbit, but try as you might, you cannot remove it.
You only have a few more seconds to process what’s happening before you hear something buzzing on the desk you’re sitting at.
It appears to be a tablet of some sort. It turns on automatically due to a notification that pops up on the screen. The notification reads, “Good morning, Prospect. Welcome to Fayflower University’s Entrance Exam!”
There’s a “Next” button that leads you to another notification: “Please spend the next hour introducing yourself to your fellow Prospects. More information on your peers can be found on the "Profiles" app. Failure to engage will result in punishment. Be sure to adhere to the rules, which can be found in an application called “Rules” on this device.”
There’s one last notification: “When the hour is up, report to the Gymnasium immediately for your Orientation. You will be given further information and instruction there.”
You exit out of the notification. You now understand what the notification means: the tablet has four applications: Rules, Tasks, Profiles, and Maps. If you try to click on the Tasks app, another notification pops up indicating that the application is currently unaccessible. The Maps app only shows you a map of the building you're in right now. There's a little marker indicating your location as well: The one and only classroom in the vicinity.
A large red timer appears at the bottom of the screen. 59:59.
You'd better get started.

I don't think we should go killing anyone; they might have something important to say!
[ he thinks about his situation, and shrugs. ]
Kinda? I wasn't at school when this happened, though. I was in a war!
no subject
[If he really has to.]
Ooooh, I see. Ha ha, yeah, I know what that's like! So I bet you're ready to hurry back, huh?
no subject
[ NOOOO KILLING ]
Uh, sort of? [ he scratches his cheek. ] I kinda left some people behind and I had some important things to do, so I do need to go back!
no subject
[Boo. But he can just kill 'em after, so it's fine.]
Yeah, I'll bet! You're probably missing a lotta stuff right now. Compared to that, this place is kinda boring, huh?
Hmmm, I hope I'm not missing any cool battles right now...
no subject
Well, it's boring now, but I'm sure the Administrator person is probably out there thinking of something really cool to do! [ a pause ] That doesn't involve killing.
no subject
[What else is there.]
no subject
Pi...zza...? Maybe some video games...?
no subject
["i am from medieval fantasy not-europe and what is this"]
no subject
[ his eyes grow wide because wow!!! how can someone not know about this?! ]
See, that's what I'm telling you! You definitely need to learn about these things before you go killing people.
no subject
no subject
[ he claps his hands together and continues. ]
And video games are like...well, they're games! Some of them are just games, but some mix like...playing and stories. And you can play with friends and stuff; it's really fun!
no subject
Huh... I do like games! And doing stuff with friends! You think they got any of those games here?
no subject
[ he hums for a moment, looking around. clearly, there's nothing around. ]
Maybe we can ask the person that runs this place once we find out who they are!
no subject
If this is really supposed to be a school, I dunno if they'd really have any of that stuff, but hey. Worth a shot!
