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. Welcome to Chronos University. |

[ And she looks from it, to him, and then does hand motions as if measuring with her hand and... ]
You're a little bit younger than 27?
[ A lot of people seem to have that going on. Seems like a safe one.
... What's a state alchemist ]
no subject
[Hmmmm...]
You know, this thing's hammering on it so much I'm inclined to believe it, but you look absolutely fantastic for someone who's got grandkids. Just saying.
no subject
[ She sort of doubts that though, hence that being phrased as a joke. ]
no subject
Wouldn't say it if it weren't true. I've never really been one for kids myself, though I'd say I've got some time to figure that out.
233 years old, though...? I'm impressed.
no subject
Don't worry, young man, you'll get there! Or maybe you won't, that's no skin off my nose! [ Wahaha ] But it is impressive, isn't it! I'll probably stick around another hundred or four too! I'm looking forward to meeting my great-grandchildren, I'm sure Ren'll make some cute ones in another fifty years!

Also having just the right balance of blood is important. You have too much of it and it can make your skin bloat a bit, but you need to keep hydrated or you'll shrivel up!
no subject
...So do you turn people, or do you just keep that little gift for yourself?
[kimbley no]

[ A beat as she thinks on that... Oh! Oh, right! ] Oh, like in those books! No, it doesn't work like that, vampires are just born, humans never become them.
[ She waves a hand dismissively even ]

no subject
But then, she had also lived a great life.
Mostly. ]
You're a bit of a weird human, aren't you?
[ Okay, let's pick out a lie and she throws out: ] I don't know if you seem like a soldier boy, so I'm not sure about that Lieutenant thing.
no subject
Ah, no, I used to be - I was a Major, though, never got past that. I joined up at a pretty young age and liked it a hell of a lot, but I ended up...leaving a few years ago.
no subject
[ Because, in her experience, humans do</> waste a lot of their young men on useless wars. Sure, Japan's been peaceful for... well, a lot of the time she was there (it got pretty bad early on) but she does remember the wars she heard about in her earlier youth and how pointless they all seemed ]
no subject
I was mostly there for the experience.
[In other words: He had fun. He had a lot of fun.]
no subject
Oh wow, you're a little more sick in the head than I thought! [ She laughs at this - she's not scared and she's also not ... okay there might be judging, given the wording, but it's not explicitly condescending or anything either. ] Well, glad that worked out for you without losing an arm or an eye or something!
[ Which leads her to- ]
Says you like chemicals though, so what kinda soldier's also a scholar?
no subject
[he loves this woman so much right now, what the christ.]
I specialize in creating and deploying chemical weapons - the "creating" part is really literal, you get the idea.
no subject
[ Vampires always have been, so she wouldn't know.
... Chemical weapons. Sounds nasty. ]
no subject
I guess that's part of it? Maybe. We do have stuff that's supposed to grant infinite power or something, and bypassing death might be a thing if you think you can pull it off.
