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.

NEIGHBOR!

[firstaid]

[As Estelle's sticking her head out of the door she hears that. Hello...!]

V-void? Um, are you okay?

[deofoled]

[ The pink hair grabs his attention right away, and he turns to face her.]

Demon Emperor Void Dark.

[ And then he looks over her properly and yeah, definitely not Seraphina even though the pink hair is eerily similar. Just totally ignoring the okay question too because uh-- is this a human?]

Who are you?

[firstaid]

Demon Emperor... Void... Dark...

[She definitely may sound a little judgmental at that name.]

It sounds like a name of an antagonist in a book.

[Because everything can go back to books, that's why! Though she does answer his question.]

My name is Estellise. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[deofoled]

He's a tyrant, yeah.

[ He notices the judgement about the name, but honestly Killia kind of agrees. Void made that title himself, which just made his name ridiculous, even if it was already ridiculous by human standards already.]


Killia.

...aren't humans supposed to be wary of demons?

[ Nice to meet you too.]

[firstaid]

Oh, are you a demon? I see no reason to be wary of you just because of that.

[Hahaha, if he's trying to scare her, he's failing at it. She's just as friendly. Hey, is that her now walking toward him? Yes, yes that is.]

[deofoled]

[ Looks like the pink hair isn't the only parallel here. He doesn't step back but his wings do flare out a bit.]

What are you doing?

[ Are all humans like this, where is Christo he would know.]

[firstaid]

[She stops at bit when he flares out those wings. She's still coming to him and is going to attempt to touch those wings. She thought it was a scarf!]

Oh wow, can you fly with those?

[Excuse her, she doesn't know personal space.]

[deofoled]

[ He is about to object but then she asks him the question and he just kind of freezes for a moment, giving her the opportunity to touch them. They're soft and leathery like bat wings, certainly not scarf like at all.

But she only has hold of them for a moment before he steps back, he's not even mad (though he probably would be if she didn't remind him of someone), but he likes his personal space.]

Don't.

They're for gliding.

[firstaid]

[She does get a hold of them for that bit and is taken in by their texture. Much like a bat's wings are to be described, she thinks. Though once he steps back and tells her 'don't', she retracts her hands to in front of her chest, giving him a look that is similar to a deer's in the headlights.]

O-oh, my apologies. I was just curious about them.

[Her expression softens a bit.]

So you can't fly. Then I take it you can use them to jump or glide long horizontal distances, then?

[deofoled]

Because humans don't normally have wings.

[ ...he thinks.]

Yeah.

[...]

Do you usually travel outside the human world?

[firstaid]

Yeah, we don't.

[Though his question is a rather curious one...]

Um, no I don't? I don't think I've ever traveled outside of the 'human world' as you call it.

[deofoled]

But you're okay with talking to a demon?

[ He may not know much, but he still thinks that isn't normal.]

[firstaid]

Does you being a demon make you someone who's bad?

[She tilts her head, giving him an inquisitive look.]

[deofoled]

[ That is a difficult question, and one he's going to try to dodge.]

I thought humans were supposed to be afraid of demons, that's all.

[firstaid]

I suppose that is true given literature and all. Though, you honestly don't seem like you're a bad person.

[Estelle can count the number of people she thinks are 'bad' on one hand... hahahaha....]

[deofoled]

I'm not a good one either.

[firstaid]

What makes you say that? I mean, certainly there must be a reason why you feel like you're not a good person.

[deofoled]

There's no point talking about it, I have other things I should be doing.

[ Like finding out how to get out of here.]

[firstaid]

[She giggles.]

The way you're avoiding the question seems to confirm that you're really a good person.

[deofoled]

I'm not.

[ He is really not up for talking about this and his voice is stern. Unless she has something else she wants to say he's going to walk off.]

[firstaid]

[She's actually taken aback by his stern voice and doesn't have enough time to react when he does walk off...

...oh she'll prove him wrong, just you wait!]
