trusthell | Welcome.

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.

[OH HELL YES SHE'S REAL THIS IS GREAT HE'S GOT A REAL CUTE GIRL AS HIS NEIGHBOR THIS IS THE GREATEST]

I'm sayin' it now, I don't care what kinda place this is or why I'm here, havin' a cutie like you as a neighbor's worth every second.

Aww, that's sweet of you!

[ She grins, pulling her hand back aaaaand- ]

Now if you were forty years older that might mean something, but hey, never say a lady looks down on some man's generosity!

[ Still smiling, ] Let's walk.

[-- wait what]

Damn, you're an old hag? You look pretty damn good for your age, lady, I know a couple girls that'd kill for your secret!

[ And he was doing do well too. In one movement, Elda's smile turns murderous and a fist comes flying out to hit Gold in the stomach ]

Now, now, watch your manners!

[ Because it's true that she is beautiful for her age and people would kill for her secret! ... But she's not going to tolerate some snot nosed human kid calling her a hag ]

[he's so used to girls hitting him this is nothing but also he was not expecting that oh my god]

What the hell was that for?! I'm just sayin' you look good for your age, granny!

Don't call a woman a granny! Don't they teach kids anything these days?!

[ Okay if the hitting him isn't going to work, she's going to grab him by - the face. Smooshing his cheeks. If she manages to catch him ]

[OHHH NO this time he's backing away, grinning, though he'll be an easy catch if she tries it again.]

Didn't think you'd be so sensitive about your age! Ain't you supposed to be proud of it, huh? How old're you anyway, sixty? Seventy?

[ Oh, the kid's nimble, huh? ]

Oh, I am proud. Proud of all of those years - over two hundred of them! I'm going to live a few millennia more I'm pretty sure.

[ But that doesn't mean she'll tolerate being called a hag. The hand where his face just was closes into a clawed fist thing ]

[yikes]

Damn, if you're really that old, then it's no wonder you've got such a damn temper! Don't worry, granny, your age is a secret safe with me~.

[ #brat ]

Oh, I'm sure.

[ She considers hitting him again but... nah, she's already bored with being mad about this, as long as she'd not insulted for her age again. ]

So what's your name, brat?

Rude to ask someone else's name before givin' your own, but it's Gold! Gold of New Bark Town.

["it's rude" he says, promptly giving his name anyway. sheesh.]

[ U were rude first gosh.

All the same, ]

And I'm Elda Marker, from... Shihaba.

[ She almost said her birth place, but no, she's been in Shihaba most of her life, might as well say it. ]

Where's that?

[ Come to think of it, Gold isn't a very Japanese name. ]

It's in the central region of that Japan country, you know.

Aaaand where's Japan?

[you are just. saying so many names he doesn't know.]

[ Oh, wow. ]

It's that dinky island at the end of the Orient.

[ #18th century lingo ]

What's an Orient?!

[PLEASE SAY A NAME HE KNOWS]

[ HOW DUMB IS THIS KID ]

Where's New Bark whatever then?! It's in Europe or the States, right?

No, it's in Johto right next to Kanto! The hell's a Europe or "the States"?!

[WHY IS THIS WOMAN OFF HER ROCKER]

[ WHAT. ]

Kanto's one of the central regions in Japan! It's were all the plains are and big old Tokyo too! Are you daft?! Who ever heard of a Johto?!

Edited 2017-01-23 19:46 (UTC)

Tokyo ain't in Kanto, the biggest city there is Saffron! I don't know what the hell you're goin' on about, but you're seriously stupid.

[or you two are from somewhat similar worlds in terms of geography??? guys, please.]

Who're you calling stupid?! You're the one making up towns here!

[ She said, holding out a clawed finger threateningly again.

But in a petty way ]

[thank u for clarifying]

I ain't makin' up towns, you are! You're makin' up a whole different planet it sounds like!

[ And sh...e oh. Oh. ]

Oh, I know about this! This is that whole middle school syndrome thing I've heard old men talking about!

What?
