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.

It's... interesting.

[You know, the way Decim and Ginti use the word interesting.]

Why bother messing with someone's hair and clothes? It doesn't make much sense.

[Much less with a dumb haircut like th- anyway, beyond the hair.]

Mine is mostly accurate. I'd say some of these can't be right, but there's a giant orange woman with a gem in her face here.

[alchemicals]

Ah, yeah - she's pretty great, isn't she?

[SHE COULD STEP ON HIM AND HE WOULD THANK HER.]

[feistytrader]

She looks really tough. I bet she could smash boulders.

[...same, tbh]

[alchemicals]

And she likes fighting. If she doesn't throw down with someone here eventually I'm just going to be disappointed in all of us.

[feistytrader]

It's too bad there isn't more room around. The only place you could really have a good fist fight is that room with the big table.

[alchemicals]

Well, yeah, but I also didn't see anything in the rules about not moving furniture around.

[feistytrader]

...I wouldn't mind helping set up some kind of fighting ring. If we're stuck here for more than a couple of days, anyway.

[He has to at least hope, man.]

[alchemicals]

I'm not planning on staying here for more than a couple of hours, personally. But I'll keep that in mind.

[feistytrader]

...If you find a way out, take me with you.

[I mean there isn't even a door, but hey. He's not about to protest getting out of here in two hours in any capacity.]
