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.

Foyer

The walls can't be that sturdy.

[neverheardofhim]

You think? Let's try throwing you through one, then. [He speaks with a playful smirk, no harm intended]

[He's seriously questioning that attire though.]

[acherontiastyx]

Yo, I'm not that hard.

[...it would be easy for him to take offense, but this is normal Team Skull chat.]

Maybe a table would work? I dunno. My Pokemon would make this really easy, but apparently this Wordsmith or whatever isn't a complete idiot.

[neverheardofhim]

[Poke-what? Nope, he's not even going to question it. He's still coming to terms with the whole camera thing.]

Find a decently sized one and I'll help you out. [He might be short, but he's got guns. Whatever those are.]

[acherontiastyx]

I'll keep an eye out, then. Maybe we can recruit the big orange lady, too, since I'm trying to figure out what she couldn't punch through.

when ya mess up the chronology of your threads

[neverheardofhim]

[Varric looked a little skeptical of the idea. Not that he doubted "the big orange lady's" intentions, only that attempting to befriend someone much gruffer and taller than him was a little off-putting.

Then again, if he'd managed to befriend the Bull.]

Yeah. You do that. [Have fun, Guzma.]

[acherontiastyx]

Hey, she seems to be extra ticked off by this whole thing, too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, yeah?

[neverheardofhim]

Yeah, well, our friend over there looks like she could step on me no problem. [He gave Guzma a scrutinizing look.] Maybe not you though.

Like I said. You do that.

[acherontiastyx]

Some guys would say that's a plus, but I get what you're saying. I'll do the recruiting here.

[neverheardofhim]

[You do that, Guzma, he's just going to give you a disgusted look for awhile.]

[acherontiastyx]

...what? It's just a fact.

[neverheardofhim]

Far be it from me to say there's a time and place to hold your tongue but... seriously?

[acherontiastyx]

...you really didn't seem like the overly tight-laced kind of guy who would object to a dumb innuendo joke.

[neverheardofhim]

There are certain things I don't want to know about my fellow man.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, I hope you never go on the internet, then.

[neverheardofhim]

[He furrowed his brows.]

The what?

[acherontiastyx]

[...oh shit how does he even explain this.]

...okay. So imagine there's this thing that like... lets you talk to anyone anywhere and you can put any information you want on it. That's the internet.

[neverheardofhim]

That's...

That's impressive. [Information at his fingertips, rather than having to walk himself to a library. He had to say, he liked to the sound of it.]

[acherontiastyx]

Right? It's great. Of course, most people use it for stupid nerd fights, cute pictures of Pokemon, and pornography, but you know.

[neverheardofhim]

And I'm assuming the latter most option is where your interests lie?
