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.

...I don't know. Find a way out. Beat up the guy that kidnapped you. Get breakfast early.

[Try not to panic. That's a good one.]

It doesn't look like there's a way out in here.

[certaingiant]

Unfortunately not, but there must be something we've missed.

Genuinely no way out would mean no way in, and then how would we have gotten here?

[feistytrader]

Teleport, maybe. If that's the case, we'll just have to make a way out.

[That's a totally reasonable explanation--!]

[certaingiant]

That would be problematic, since I can't use any of my powers and I doubt anyone sleeps with weapons in hand.

[Apparently they should! But they don't.]

[feistytrader]

Even if they did, I think they took away our...

[Wait. Wait just a minute there.]

Did you say powers?

[certaingiant]

Yes?

[He clearly has horns and wings, Silver.]

[feistytrader]

...You're not just one of those nerdy guys that dresses up like a Charizard?

[What the actual fuck is a power dude, can you smash boulders-]

[certaingiant]

No, I promise you, I'm really not a human being.

[Why are there so many ignorant humans here. Why is this.]

[feistytrader]

...Then what are you?

[Drunk? Roleplaying?]

[certaingiant]

Obviously I'm a demon.

[Humans today who don't know what demons look like.]

[feistytrader]

...You're positive you're not a cosplayer.

[Look demon is a little hard to swallow, he doesn't even really know what demons are other than bad-]

[certaingiant]

Absolutely certain.

[He knows what cosplayers are and he certainly would know if he was in a costume.]

[feistytrader]

Well, in that case... What's a demon?

[...Good job, Silver. You tried.]

[certaingiant]

[Christo opens his mouth. Closes it.

Okay, first off, humans are even more ignorant than he thought, but second off...]

It's surprisingly difficult to define a species.

[feistytrader]

It's not too hard, is it?

[He's going to eat his words really hard.]

If you have horns and wings, do you have scales, too?

[certaingiant]

No. Some demons do, but I don't - we vary considerably in appearance.
