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.

[Business merger, huh? And judging by that suit and tie, this man is definitely someone well integrated with the workforce. Someone who can, hopefully, answer a few questions.]

Unfortunately that isn't the case, but once we get out of this I don't doubt we'll be making news.

[She reaches up with a paw and touches the bottom of her badge.]

Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD. Would you mind answering a few questions for me?

[byday]

[...okay, this is new. It's not something that's necessarily weird, considering some of the stuff he's seen in his time back in Gotham. If there's a flying dude in Metropolis, after all...]

Certainly, officer. Though, if you don't mind my saying so, this is my first time meeting a...rabbit officer.

[officerhops]

Well, this is my first time meeting a human. ...well, one of my first. Assuming you are a human and not a vampire or something...

[That last part is muttered to herself with a note of distaste before she gets back to it.]

But what I would like to ask you to do for me is to confirm the validity of the information listed in your profile. Would you say it is accurate?

[byday]

If I'm not a human, then I've been lied to my whole life.

[...okay so 'darkness' is on there and that's totally suspicious and edgy. but.]

I'm a little older on the profiles then I am now. Everything else is fairly accurate.

[officerhops]

[Judy nods, her ears swiveling a bit. Ages being incorrect seems to be a common theme...why that is she can't really say just yet.]

And I trust that this isn't information that would have been easily come by? Not by someone who doesn't already know you fairly well, anyway.

[You're totally not, like, a very wealthy man of high importance or anything right...]

[byday]

[He scoffs.]

Most of it is public knowledge. Businessmen tend to dislike taxes, but I pay them the same as everyone else.

[officerhops]

[Welp, scratch that then.]

So you're an average, everyday man who got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. That seems to be the case with most of us.

[Unless you're secretly like 1000 years old.]

Do you remember anything suspicious from before you woke up here?

[byday]

Depends on whether or not you'd consider "playboy billionaires" average, I suppose. For all intents and purposes, I'm a normal guy.

[pff noooooooo it's not like he fights supervillains or anything. he can lie about this one.]

I was at a fundraiser for the local district attorney, Harvey Dent. He has a reelection campaign coming up. Hardly anything special, I don't need to bog you down with the details.

[officerhops]

[That's totally irrelevant to this conversation so it's definitely not worth bringing up, yep!]

Hm...if nothing else, it sounds like a pretty populated event. It might have been easier to isolate someone to go after.

...not that I'm saying you were easy to get a hold of, or anything.

[byday]

I like to think that people will notice if I go missing.

[alfred is definitely having a panic attack rn]

[officerhops]

[Poor poor alfred...]

That makes two of us.

While I'm here, I might as well ask if you've noticed anything unusual about this building here? I'm aware that there seem to be no visible exits or windows, but I haven't had a chance to search everywhere yet.

[byday]

I'm not a detective, so I'm not really an expert. But have you spotted security cameras, or any sort of surveillance system?

[officerhops]

[That has Judy shaking her head.]

Other than the PA system, I haven't seen anything. Though I can only imagine what that might be intended for.

[byday]

It's strange. You'd think that whoever this Wordsmith is, he'd have some way to monitor us in place.

[officerhops]

That's one of the top things on my list to get to the bottom of, as a matter of fact. Though I have a feeling that isn't going to be so easy as just coming across a bunch of hidden cameras.

[If it were, she feels like somebody here would have found one by now.]

[byday]

Let me know if you find something. I'm no expert, but I can keep my eye out.

[officerhops]

Thank you sir. I appreciate any help I can get.

What was your name again?

[byday]

Wayne. Bruce Wayne.

[officerhops]

It's good to meet you, Mr. Wayne. Though I wish it were under better circumstances.

[byday]

Likewise, officer. Hopefully, we can figure this situation out as soon as possible.

[officerhops]

Agreed. If you turn up any new information, please make sure to let me know.
