[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 like to think I am.

[ Profiles never lie!! ]

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder... Is this exam designed to make us grow in that area?

I suspect the term "exam" should not be taken literally.

The fact that they would use that term... it's interesting, isn't it? [ He doesn't think that's a good thing, unfortunately. ]

What do you think this might be?
revelare: (IGNORE THAT DETAIL)

[personal profile] revelare 2018-05-20 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry.

[HUH???]

I make it a point not to theorize without adequate data.

[ That catches him off guard. ]

Do you theorize a lot?
revelare: (6.)

[personal profile] revelare 2018-05-20 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I would certainly hope so, otherwise I would be a poor consulting detective!

[personal profile] goodideas 2018-05-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
A detective, huh? We're lucky to have you here with us.
revelare: (106.)

[personal profile] revelare 2018-05-20 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
On the contrary, I would be worried.

[... eh?]

It is the detective's responsibility to avoid capture. Having such an agent trapped within the confines bodes ill.

Someone outsmarting a detective like that... That means that whoever brought us here is a force to be reckoned with.

Quite.

[Holmes sounds remarkably calm for someone who's been kidnapped - although it's clear by the way his brow furrows that he's gnawing on the bones of this situation.]

Which means, of course, that we should ascertain three things: the identity of the culprit, the extent of their influence, and our purpose for being here.
