trustfell | 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.

[ Well, they're just red-painted long lady fingernails tbh. But they sure look threatening from the way she's holding herself!

... Small girl.

She huffs and puts down the hand, putting it on her waist ]

Elda Marker. So you don't know me?

[ ...so bloodstained claws, right.

anyway...orihime slumps against the wall a little, still a little intimidated and concerned that this woman will attack her, but it seems like she's in the clear? for now? ]

I'm sorry, I--I don't think I do... Are you a celebrity?

No? Who'd want to be?! I'm just saying people usually know who they kidnap.

[ . . . ]

What, are you? You've got some gonzo body like one of those magazine idols.

But...I didn't kidnap you?

[ blink blink ]

Eh? Me? Oh, no! I'm just an ordinary school girl, ha ha!

You think that this is a kidnapping?

What would you make of it? Some sort of sweeps week push?

[ Ordinary student... looking like she does? Elda huffs, looking the girl over in more detail now, taking in her eyes and hair and figure and...

Ugh. ]

...But...why would they want to kidnap so many of us?

[ the last time she was kidnapped, well.

she at least knew she was headed off somewhere. this time...nothing. no warning, no anything. ]

Who knows why aliens do anything?

[ Flatly. ]

A--Aliens?!

[ OH, HOLY SHIT?? ]

Are we on their spaceship now? Oh, do you think they're taking us to Mars?

Who or what else could pull off some stunt like this?!

[ Not that this... looks like a spaceship... but still. ]

Oh, they're probably taking us to their home planet! But, I hope they also take us back home after, ehehe....

I guess aliens I known for returning people.

[ Like how else do we know about them? ]

[ i cannot believe they are having this conversation ]

Do you think they're able to communicate with us? Maybe they understand English?

Oh, I'm sure they are. It's a matter of if they're gonna or not.

...That's true...

[ mysterious aliens. ]

Um, maybe we should give them some sort of peace offering!

Okay. What do you have other than your body?

N-Nothing, really!

[ she woke up with absolutely nothing ok ]

I was thinking more along the lines of finding something in the building we could use. Hm, maybe food? Is there a kitchen?

Even if there is a kitchen, they could make whatever they want there, right? Oh, unless they eat people!

[ !!!!!! ]

W-What if they're taking us back to their planet so they can eat us?! What do we do?!

Well for one [ Holding up a finger ] we beat the snot out of them when given the chance. If we get the chance - but I've no intention of being chow time.

[ a nod! ]

I hope we get to at least try to talk them out of it before that happens... They must be really hungry...

You'd want to negotiate as prey?

Um....y-yes?

Well, hopefully that doesn't go to untoward places!

[ Pat... on the ba- side, really. ]

I-I'd hope not...! Maybe they'll be nice and let us go free...

Mmm. You'd hope, but that doesn't precisely seem likely if they went to trouble to get everyone here.

[ She shakes her head. ]

... Well, if you don't know anything, guess you won't help me.
