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.

[She's about to ask how skilled they are when she remembers something.]

The man you were calling for; is he one of them?

[Estelle nods.]

He is! Although he has been accompanying me even before he formed his guild with Judith and Karol. I just happened to hire them when I needed to find something.

So they're not a large group... [Rin hums thoughtfully.] Well, even experienced body guards can have exploitable gaps in their security. If he was captured at the same time you were, that would better explain how you were taken so easily.
firstaid: (recite)

Perhaps so. However, it still seems odd. I believe it would be difficult to get past Judith and Rita, too.

[Well, luckily or unluckily, her next memories of being on the ship she was on aren't there or things may make sense.]
heritrix: (no wonder you've got demons)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-14 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I understand that sentiment. Things aren't adding up cleanly for me either.

[This entire affair is a mess.]
firstaid: (Clueless)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-09-14 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
How are they not adding up for you, if I may ask?
heritrix: (don't follow)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-14 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She glances over at Estelle, then back to the profiles.]

I was in the middle of battling a dangerous opponent when I was knocked out. Presumably I was brought here sometime after that, but I can't explain how that could have come about. My enemies should have killed me before an outsider would have the chance.

So were you rescued by our captors, then? But then even that wouldn't make too much sense...

[This really is all confusing.]
heritrix: (turn)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-09-15 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't. The two fighting alongside me would have been in just as much danger, so that can't be it. [She tips her head.] Similarly, even if you weren't in danger why would they leave the rest of your companions too?
firstaid: (think; princess; ponder)

Who knows. There's far too many questions at the moment that perhaps it's best to wait until we get answers before we ask more.
