Welcome.

[trustwellness]

You wake with the unshakable feeling that you shouldn't be here. Perhaps you were in the middle of something, perhaps you weren't. Either way, you're waking up in an unfamiliar location with no recollection of how you got here. The room you've woken up in is sparsely-decorated, though that might be difficult to tell at first given how nice the beds are...but eventually you'll notice a few things that are a little...off. Maybe the scent is striking you wrong - it's clean, but it's not yours. Maybe your bed back home doesn't support your back in quite this way. Maybe you should be seeing sunlight through your window by now. Maybe you should have a window in the first place. This isn't right, but leaving the room won't give you any more answers. You might want to grab the silver key sitting on your trunk on the way out. Don't worry though, you aren't all alone here. Once you step outside your room into the hallway, you'll notice that a few others are emerging from their rooms as well. It looks like they're just as confused and concerned as you are. Feel free to talk to them, but none of you know how exactly you wound up here and maybe some useful information can be found by exploring. If you follow the hallway to its end (and it's a very long hallway), you'll eventually arrive in the foyer. You'll find some very interesting information about yourselves on the wall near the clock. Perhaps even more importantly, if you look on the other side of the multi-pendulumed thing, you'll find other framed information that you might want to pay attention to. It could very well be the key to escaping this strange place, after all. Don't worry if you forget the rules, you can find them in every room of the building. Of course, search as you might, you won't find a doorway or a window of any sort. Getting out won't be so easy, it seems. But who knows? Perhaps your fellow captives have something to say about all of this. Welcome to Chronos University.

[firstaid]

Mine appears to be correct, I think.

[She cants her head looking over her information. Though she is curious as to why some of her likes and dislikes are oddly specific.]

[ravagers]

Hmm...

[ She crosses her arms, placing her chin in her hand. ]

Lots of the people I've talked to, they've said most of their information is right! So I don't get why mine's so wrong.

[firstaid]

If I may ask, what's incorrect about it?

[Well, she certainly doesn't appear as old as it lists her. It also mentions her being The Saint.

How intriguing...!]

[ravagers]

[ Strangely enough, even though she's answered that a lot, she's not annoyed at all. ]

Well... my age, my occupation. I don't know what I'm supposed to be the saint of... and some of my dislikes. [ She shakes her head, actually looking unnerved. ] Can't say I've ever heard the souls of the dead!

[firstaid]

Oh, I suppose all of that would be disconcerting to read, especially since others are stating their profiles are fairly accurate.

[She knows hers is, even if some of her likes and dislikes are oddly specific.]

[ravagers]

Yeah... but, they're just words on paper, right? So, it'll be okay! Maybe someone just put that there to confuse me...

[ Even that doesn't make sense, though. Why just her...? She's nothing special.

... ANYWAY. ]

Hmm, what's a Repede?

[firstaid]

Perhaps...

[She's studying a few more profiles before the next question comes up...

Estelle quickly clasps her hands together in excitement.]

Oh, Repede is my friend, Yuri's, dog! He can fight in battle and Yuri claims he can understand him.

[She then pouts.]

However, he won't let me pet him. He always walks away when I do.

[ravagers]

[ !!! A DOG... ]

Well, I believe him! Animals aren't too hard to understand. [ Vanille's eyes widen a little, and then she's pouting. ] That's not very nice! Have you tried giving him treats?

[firstaid]

I can't understand animals at all. [She sighs.]

And yes, I do. No matter what I do, he avoids me! I honestly don't think he likes me even if I've tried everything...

[ravagers]

[ Oh no... Vanille takes her hands, offering her a smile. ]

Well, we'll figure out a whole list of things together, and when you go back home, you can try 'em all! Maybe he'll see how determined you are, and then he won't be able to keep rejecting you!

[firstaid]

Right! I'm certain if we can figure something out then he'll let me pet him!

[Be even more determined than she already is to pet the dog!]

[ravagers]

Yeah! There has to be something. And if he still doesn't let you... Well, he's the one missing out!

[firstaid]

Right! It must be him because... well... I honestly don't want to hurt him at all. I'm jealous that he goes near everyone else.

[ravagers]

Mm! You have a really good heart, I can tell. Definitely not the type of person who'd want to hurt anyone, animals or people, for no reason.

[firstaid]

Of course not! There's no sense in violence whatsoever. I understand there are situations in which you must fight to defend yourself, however, other than that, I see no need to resort to it.

[ravagers]

[ Ah, she likes her already! ]

That's what I think, too. It just hurts people more than it solves problems.

[firstaid]

I completely agree. Violence is rarely ever the answer and often causes a divide between the people.

[She doesn't say 'never' because she understands that sometimes it's what things resort to.]

[ravagers]

And it's hard to repair that rift when it happens, huh?

[firstaid]

It is. I may not have done much as a princess, however, because there are so many unresolved conflicts, I don't think even I could repair the segregation that had happened even in the capital.

[ravagers]

Hmm... I know we just met, but you seem like the kind of girl who'd try anyway. Even if it's hard, there's always a chance, isn't there?

[firstaid]

Well, of course I would try. If I didn't, I don't think I could call myself a princess...
