[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.

[He tries to think about it more, and suddenly his face brightens, his smile wider but still crinkled at the edges from nervousness.]
O-Oh, what if it's like a quiz show! And we'll have to answer questions about each other's "Prospect" things. That would be cool, right? I'm the Prospect of Gaming, ask me whatever you want!
no subject
[GRANTED, he'd still be annoyed because that doesn't change the fact that it was kidnapping but it's better than some alternatives he could think up. Well, he can play along for a bit.]
Then... [uh, questions... questions...] what's your favorite kind of game?

no subject
[Also his days were busy with other things and other people, so...]
What do you like best about them?
no subject
[Escapism!! It's the bee's knees!!]
no subject
I don't know if I'd be able to try one sometime, but it sounds interesting. It seems like it'd be easy to lose track of the time while you play.
no subject
[Haaah. That's the one drawback that he's forced to acknowledge from time to time.]
Sometimes, I'm up all night... you can also say that it's hard to quit. But, I think it's worth it. Especially if I would have stayed up anyway, doing something less fun.

[However, waking up on a desk was not something that remotely surprised him until he realized it was a different school altogether.]
no subject
Um, is there anything you want to ask me? They called me the... Prospect of Friendship.
[............nope, it's still embarrassing when he says it.]
no subject
[It's hard to think of friendship as a talent, to be honest!! But the guy must be a pretty good friend?]
Do you just have a lot of friends? More than most people?
no subject

Actually, I'm not even really sure why I got this title to begin with.
