Welcome.


Rise and shine.

There are a few things that matter right now - the fact that you're waking up in an unfamiliar but decently comfortable bed, the fact that you don't recognize the room you're in, the fact that you seem to have some sort of headache... Nothing severe, mind. Just the sort of odd, heavy fuzziness that comes with having slept far too long.

You don't really remember where you were immediately before this, not upon waking. Something will come to you eventually if you think long enough, however - a couple of seconds of consideration will bring to mind a place, a memory, a recollection of where you were and what you were doing.

It probably wasn't anything that would result in you being here, though.

Welcome to Graceside Preparatory Academy.

You may want to pick up the key to your room before you leave the room, but don't worry too much - your door won't lock automatically, so you won't be locked out if you've forgotten to pick it up. It seems you're not alone, either; the hallway outside your room is most likely full of other confused people by now, and should you turn around to look at the door of the room you just left, you'll find a nameplate with your name printed on it. There's a single word underneath it with no explanation. This is your title, but don't worry about that right now.

Depending on when you left your room there may be a clock chiming in the foyer up ahead. It seems like it's seven, though it's difficult to tell if it's seven in the morning or seven at night. There aren't any windows, after all. Should you venture into the room with the clock, you'll find that the only exit is closed - there's absolutely no way to break down that steel bulkhead. It looks like you're not getting out of here anytime soon.

The foyer also holds some very interesting information. There's a bulletin board with thirty-five pictures on it. Beside each picture is some very specific and very familiar information. Feel free to examine it. The bulletin board is large enough for plenty of you to gather around and gawk. Don't try to get at it though, that glass in front of it is very thick. If you try to break it, you'll find out the hard way that it's shatterproof. Sorry about that.

Perhaps even more of a concern than the glass is the list beside the profiles. It looks like a set of rules. You might want to examine those, though they're not providing much of an explanation for why you're here or how you got here.

So relax and get to know your fellow Participants. You might be stuck here for awhile.

[Rin waves a hand, as if to say it's fine.]

He's not an enemy, but he's a greater source of irritation to me than he is of support. I'm not enthusiastic about being locked in a building with him for the foreseeable future.

I don't blame you. I can think of a few people I really wouldn't want to be locked up with for any length of time.
heritrix: (walk this way)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-12 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
You've lucked out that you don't have that problem. As far as one can be lucky when they've already found themselves in this position, anyways.

I agree, actually. As much as I'd like to see a familiar face, I don't want them to be put into this situation.
heritrix: (like it's hard?)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-12 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Good, you understood what I was getting at.

[Rin nods appreciatively, glad she doesn't need to spell it out. That can be an awkward conversation with some people.]

I'm Rin, by the way, Rin Tohsaka.
icysemblance: (are you sure?)

[Weiss nods, extending her hand.]

Weiss Schnee. It's good to meet you, Rin.
heritrix: (idol)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-12 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hand shake!]

I don't know if "good" is the word I'd use, but likewise, when you put the circumstances aside.

I don't think there is a good way to word it, honestly. Not in a situation like this.
heritrix: (step on the little people)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-13 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you could, but it would be so littered with legal jargon that it'd feel stiff and unnatural.
icysemblance: (are you sure?)

[personal profile] icysemblance 2017-09-13 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Congrats, Rin, that made her laugh.]

I think the jargon would just chase people off.
heritrix: (ooooh)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-13 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Heck yeah, points scored.]

You think? Huh. That might be worth keeping in mind for guys asking for dates who can't take no for an answer, then.

I'm definitely going to have to use it for that.
