Welcome.

[trustmods]

It doesn't matter where you last were or what you were doing. What matters is that you're waking up in a decently comfortable bed in a room that's completely unfamiliar. You may feel a bit groggy, like you've slept for too long, but that will fade in time. Welcome to Graceside Preparatory Academy. You may want to pick up the key to your room before you leave, though don't worry. Your door won't lock automatically so you won't be locked out if you've forgotten to pick it up. The hallway outside your room is most likely full of other confused students 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 stuck in here for the time being. The foyer also holds some very interesting information. There's a bulletin board with twenty-nine 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 students. You might be stuck here for awhile.

Yeah, yeah, just peachy...except for the whole "where the fuck are we" and "why the fuck even" part, but you know. Must be a day that ends in Y.

[ When isn't Area D stupid as hell, basically. Sol will get off Luna in an instant, not wanting to squash her more delicate half, and immediately takes her sister's hands to haul Luna to her feet. ]

What about you? No one did anything to you, did they?

[ Does Sol have to murder someone day 1 is that gonna be a thing ]

[moonflute]

[ She's not even going to point out Sol's language because it's pretty accurate. ]

I'm guessing you know as much about our situation as me, then.

[ Lets herself be hauled up. ]

No, I'm fine. I just woke up in a strange room, and have walked around. No one else seems to know anything.

[ SOL NO ]

[sunsong]

When would I have had time to learn anything else? ...Aside from wandering around, I mean, but it's not like I wasn't with you just before waking up here.

[ They're usually together. It's the most effective way for them to use their powers, for one thing, and for another...

...Well, Luna and Goz and the South are pretty much It for Sol. ]

I met some people. They all seem about as confused as us...so, so far we don't know who's pulling this shit. Could be one of them. Acting, maybe...

[moonflute]

Well, you could have wandered into someone more useful than I have.

[ Shrugs. ]

Do you really think so? That seems cruel.

[sunsong]

I don't know what I believe. Whatever the case, you're the only person I know I trust 100%, you know?

[ but come on they're going to try to believe in the others, yes, of course ]

[moonflute]

I know.

[ because same here ]

So far no one really... stands out, though. [ no one has EVIL plastered on their forehead ]

[sunsong]

Yeah...I don't really see anyone instantly suspicious, either.

[ until rick opens his mouth next log, but ]

[moonflute]

They could be good actors.

[ UNTIL THAT, YEAH. ]

Or our captors could be elsewhere, watching us or something like that.

[sunsong]

We can go with option two for now. I don't really want to mistrust all these losers.

[moonflute]

Same. [ minus the loser bit. maybe. ] It'd be rather tiring if we did.

[sunsong]

Just a bit. Besides...we're trying not to think like that any longer, aren't we?

[moonflute]

That's right. We're thinking positively about the future and the people around us. They're likely all very nice people.

[sunsong]

...Granted, you tend to think that about most people...

[ but it's said with an affectionate smile ]

[moonflute]

Well, it's usually true... How often is it not?

[sunsong]

For us? A lot more often than I'd like. Still, I wouldn't change you for the world, so...

[moonflute]

I wouldn't change you either.

[ Is it twin hug time YES IT IS ]

[sunsong]

[ It's always twin hug time...at least for Luna. Sol puts up with it (ok she participates fully and LIKES IT shhh don't tell anyone her rep will be blasted). She buries her face in her twin's shoulder for a second, just breathing and letting herself be afraid and comforted for one moment.

...But then it's time to be brave and strong again. ]

Well, good! 'Cause I think you're kinda stuck with me at this point.

[moonflute]

[ That's be hugs > anything else rhyming with ugs. (sol what rep what rep do you even have) ]

Yes, I think so. It's far late to return you. But, that means you're stuck with me too. So we're even.

[sunsong]

[ shut up she can have a rep if she wants to ]

...Well, we should probably start explorin' even more. I don't think this is "Greek Tragedy".

[ Asura's illusion ability is hard to spot, but they both know the tells. ]

...Which is a shame, 'cause at least we'd have a fuckin' clue if it were.

[moonflute]

[ yeah sure ok sol sure ]

Agreed. I don't like how little we know about this place.

[ She won't even correct Sol on cursing because IT'S FUCKING TRUE ]

Do you want to split up and search? It'll be faster. And I'm mostly sure we're not in immediate danger.

[sunsong]

Yeah. I'm room 23 if you need me - meet there after a bit?

[moonflute]

All right, sounds good. Be careful.
