Welcome.

You last remember feeling safe.

You don't know what caused that response, now that you think about it; you can't remember what you were doing before the warm, comfortable feeling came over you, a sensation somewhere between relief and the light contentment that comes with the knowledge that you're safe enough to sleep and god, are you ready to. It feels like you may have been sleeping for a while before this, even; your limbs are heavy in the memory, and you recall how difficult it was to open your eyes.

Turning your head is likewise difficult, it feels kind of like it's full of sand. Weighted-down by sleep. It's so much easier to remain still, and so you do, and before you haze out again you can vaguely hear a voice.

It's no one you recognize, and it sounds strange and vaguely distorted as you start to drift off again.

"Everything'll be fine."

There isn't an answer that you can hear; the voice speaks once more.

"...you ready?"

You don't remember what you wanted to say to that. Always, maybe. Or Ready for what? Or perhaps What's happened to me?

But none of it matters, because consciousness slips away from you too quickly for you to respond.

---

You wake up some time later; the comfortable, safe feeling from earlier certainly isn't dampened any by the bed you wake up in. Whether you like it soft as a cloud or firm enough to support the most finicky of spines, the bed you're in is nice, and it's pretty much exactly what you've been looking for in a mattress.

Shame the rest of the room is probably going to be a bit jarring when you wake up properly.

The room you're in is completely unfamiliar, all concrete and steel and almost nothing that makes it yours - but there's a trunk near the bed and there's what looks like a smartphone sitting on the trunk, and you might want to grab that before you leave the room. Trying to text or call out won't do anything for the time being, unfortunately, but it's something. A lifeline, maybe.

If you're looking to see if anyone is here with you, maybe you can find someone as you wander through the main corridor; after all, there are a few places to explore here, even if the bulk of the place is pretty much a straight shot down the center. If you're looking to gather, the dining hall is probably the best place for it, as it's large enough to accommodate all of you.

Wherever you choose to go, however, there are a set of rules posted in every room; the far wall of the dining hall, across from the entrances, also has a bulletin board with twenty-seven pictures, along with some...interesting information, posted on it. The board is large enough for all of you to look at it, but you might not want to try to get at anything posted there; just like the rules, there's glass in front of it, and it's looking to be extremely shatterproof.

Sorry about that.

There's one more thing you'll notice on your wanderings through the corridor – there are no windows, and there are no doors that can possibly lead outside.

Looks like you're trapped. Might as well get to know those that are here with you.

laundry room

...They've never heard of washing machines, I see.

[Caren sighs and shakes her head.]

We've got bigger problems. Are you the one in charge?
penduli: (17 every blade turns to rust)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-28 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
If I was, there'd be washing machines.

[ ...wait does she mean in charge of everyone here--the back of his neck heats up, ahaha, um. ]

Uh--n-no, I'm not. [ he honestly doesn't really think he could be in charge of anyone. ] What sort of "bigger problems"? ...aside from, well, everything, I guess. [ because this place is one big problem. ]
lackinginfaith: Caren judging from a distance. (how big is your phone)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Over twenty strangers in one place with someone who clearly knew who we were and how to get to us. I had things I needed to get to and it isn't like I can trust anyone back home to do any of it for me.

[ Yep that's the "everything". ]

That is a problem. [ ...he doesn't want to be the bearer of bad news but-- ] It doesn't look like there's any way out either--no windows, no doors, nothing. There's an elevator on the far side of the hall, I think, but I haven't checked it out. [ (yet.) ]

I don't know that there's a way to get back "home." [ for those lucky enough to still have one :') ] Unless someone finds a secret exit or something, but what're the chances of that?
lackinginfaith: Caren being a downer. (oh sorry. thought she was dead)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't see a way into it. Out of order. Escaping couldn't be that easy.
penduli: (66 you just have to want it badly)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Well, of course if there isn't a way out there isn't a way in. ...but if there's no way in, then

how did they get in. ]


...How do you think we got in if there isn't an entrance? [ ...well there's the elevator, but it doesn't even look like it has any buttons. What's the point of it. ]
lackinginfaith: Caren looking over her shoulder. (adventure!)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe the only one who can use the elevator is the master of this place. Like they've got a key.

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm. Not a bad guess. ]

Maybe. That's too bad for us then, unless they're the type of person who'd let us use it if we asked nicely.
lackinginfaith: Caren sticking her tongue out, teasing. (just rocks and stuff)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
They're the type of person to kidnap people and seal them in here. What do you think?
penduli: (63 in a city on fire)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ .............. ]

So you're saying that saying "pretty please with a cherry on top" wouldn't get us an elevator key.

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Are you actually being serious right now?
penduli: (03 i just can't understand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not. [ ...maybe he was a little but not really the point. ] Sorry. It's in poor taste to joke around in a situation like this, isn't it? I couldn't think of anything else to lighten the mood though.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking to the side with disdain. (you got told)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather think about the situation.
penduli: (07 every dawn turns into dusk)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ and no one can fault her! ]

If you think too hard on it, you'll just end up wearing yourself out. Worrying won't get you anywhere. [ ...but that probably isn't something she's going to want to hear, going by her tone. oops. ] ...sorry, it's not really any of my business.
lackinginfaith: Caren arriving out of nowhere again. (look it up on wikipedia)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Either way, it'll do better than playing around.
penduli: (02 life is a fire burning inside)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Playing around might just give you a new perspective. [ says the guy who also never plays around ]

We haven't been here fifteen minutes and you're giving up?
penduli: (01 life is a light shining around us)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not giving up, it's making sure you don't overwork yourself so you don't miss something important. Narrowing your focus isn't always a good thing, especially in an unfamiliar place. You need to keep an open mind.

Sometimes you don't have that luxury, do you?
penduli: (63 in a city on fire)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the confrontational type, aren't you.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking nervous and contemplative. (she's just a bunch of pixels)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Just not very happy.
penduli: (66 you just have to want it badly)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think any of us are. [ EVEN WITH uh... some rather lackadaisical people about. ] Just don't wear yourself out before anything gets started, okay? We don't know much about this place or the type of people that've landed in here with us.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking to the side with disdain. (you got told)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-29 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's more of a reason to be careful.
penduli: (01 life is a light shining around us)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You can be careful and not be narrow-minded at the same time.
