[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.

You're a real negative nancy, aren't ya?
enjoymyatelier: staring at his butt (well i'm sure it's none of my business)

It's been a rough week.

Well, it won't get better with that attitude!
enjoymyatelier: i think he's fucking her navel (that position is bizarre and improbable)

The situation could really stand to improve itself in general, though.

Just look at it the right way! Liiiiike "I'm not being crushed under rubble and dying an agonizingly slow death". See? Bright side!

...

Okay, actually, yes, that does make me feel a bit better. Thank you, I suppose.

Positive thinking's what I'm here for!

You're providing an essential service to the community. I think.

Maybe that's why they brought me! Y'know, for the sunshine and cheer and morbid happy thoughts.

Why do ya think they brought you?
enjoymyatelier: god damn it is hard to be polite here. (you are straining the limits of my class)

Well, I'm a distinguished scholar and professor, so I could understand if they wanted to force me to be an educator of some sort.

But that's really not what's going on here.

Yeah, doesn't really seem like they're gonna give you a job, huh?

As far as potentially wicked plans go, the school angle's pretty weird! I mean... not that I couldn't see a school going around kidnapping folks or anything, but geez, talk about a weird collection of people. I already finished school, so this is just silly.
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

Yes, that's definitely one of the oddest things about this place. It'd be one thing if it was just children, but why bother with the setup when a not insignificant amount of us are adults?

S'gotta be someone really insane who's obsessed with schools or something, right? That sounds like the kinda person who'd be doing this.
enjoymyatelier: command seal regained, priest shot... hell yeah. (we're out.)

That, or they're going out of their way to be incredibly condescending.
