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.

[Estelle's definitely looking at that name too... She truly wonders how one should be pronouncing it and it makes her long name look quite simple.]

"H-ai ree-oon Ee-ay-so-moo-roo Jay-da"

[The way she says it as well, it's rather uncertain.]

I do wonder how one pronounces her name. I'm rather curious.

[feistytrader]

Me too. Although I guess I should be more curious about the fact that she's a god.

[Supposedly, anyway.]

This information is all kind of weird, isn't it?

[With all the horns and people that are thousands of years old and stuff... Although there is the lady with the gem in her face.]

[firstaid]

There are gods, stuff about 'Pokemon', spirits, animals who act like humans... this all is rather curious.

[And lots of people who are hundreds if not thousands of years old. Her profile seems pretty normal and she's a princess!]

[feistytrader]

[Yeah, the gods and spirits and talking- wait. Back up one there.]

What's strange about Pokémon?

[What the heck is an animal-]

[firstaid]

Well, I for one have never heard of Pokémon before.

[Really, why does it seem like a commonality on this list of people?]

[feistytrader]

They're, uh... You know, you walk into a forest and see a bunch of Caterpie, Grimer stick to the alleyways, rivers are full of Magikarp... They're everywhere.

[That doesn't really do a good job of describing them, but he's not sure what a good job would be, at this point.]

[firstaid]

What are those? Caterpie, Grimer, Magikarp? I'm afraid I've never hear of such creatures. Though I imagine a Caterpie is an insect and a Magikarp is a type of fish. I haven't a clue what a Grimer may me, however.

[She's trying so hard, Silver. She really is.]

[feistytrader]

Caterpie are bugs, Magikarp's this weak orange fish with flippers, and...

Grimer are piles of sludge, I guess. They're poison types.

[...There's no better way to explain a Grimer, really.]

Fish are all Pokémon. Everything but humans are Pokémon.

[If she knows what fish are, she has to know what Pokémon are, right? Maybe she's just used to calling them something else, which is... Kind of weird, but he can roll with it.]

[firstaid]

So Pokémon are animals, then! I suppose I didn't know they had other names. Though these Grimer don't really sound like animals at all...

[She can't really even imagine it...]
