[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.

Animals speaking isn't an unusual occurrence for Holmes but (hostile body language, tremulous quality to voice) all signs point to Hollyleaf being relatively new to this experience. He smiles - a tad softer than his usual one - and opts to sit with his hands in his lap in order to show her he's harmless.]
My apologies. In my excitement, I forgot that there are those among us unaccustomed to humans.

Keep your distance, I- I don't know if you abducted me, or how.

[Holmes spreads out his hands, as if to say See?]
That is a promise. I merely wished to assist you since you looked discomfited. In addition, you and I...
[He raises his wrist, taps the Fitbit. Frowns, brow furrowed, a sudden thought coming to mind.]
... what would this be called in your tongue?

You aren't incorrect. In any case, my point was that we are constrained by the same "junk." That is the mark of a fellow prisoner.
no subject
Me...and you too? But... No, why would Two-legs kidnap other Two-legs.
