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.
withabigsmile: (you sure about that)

...Alright, correct me if I'm wrong here!

A long face, a big body that's easy to ride on, and four hooved legs. A creatures that stands with poise and elegance. A horn placed right on top of its forehead.

[She gestures as she speaks to try to get the image across of a... Well, a unicorn. That sounds like a -]

And then there's fire coming out of its head and down its back, which ends with a nice long fire tail.

[...Well.]

...You had me 'til all the fire.

[ WHY WOULD YOU LIGHT A UNICORN ON FIRE ]
withabigsmile: (green sucks at mario kart)

Then I guess it's not a Rapidash after all. Does it have something else instead of the fire, or is it just bald?
sleepytimegal: ("alison‚" i said‚ "we're sinking.")

They've got hair, horses have hair, so unicorns do too. Is a Rapidash a- some kind of legend where you're from?
withabigsmile: (well here's what I think)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2017-09-12 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! They like to run around in big fields. One of the mailmen near Pallet Town has one!

[...The mailman might still have a Ponyta, actually, but let's not get caught up in the details.]
sleepytimegal: (then that's all you have to say)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-09-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
They're real...? Hoo, I've never heard of any animal like that.
withabigsmile: (and steal things of course)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2017-09-12 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks like we've found our problem, then! I'be never heard of an animal before.
sleepytimegal: (stay away from me)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-09-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ What. ]

Noooo way you're pulling my leg, you're- you're yankin' my chain, no animals?! Dogs, cats, birds, little- fluffy bunnies or slimy frogs, nothing?
withabigsmile: (well here's what I think)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2017-09-14 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...???]

Well, we do have birds, but those are Pokémon, not animals. And some of those are on fire, too.

[...Fuck birds. Blue's expression doesn't change much, though.]
sleepytimegal: (what's that mean?)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-09-14 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now we're getting somewhere, because. ] What's a Pokémon?
