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.

[Judy grins.]

Thank you. You know, we'd probably be getting a lot more done around here if more people had your kind of energy and attitude.

[sportadork]

I'll try to set a good example for everyone here! [at the end of the day everyone here is. basically just a really weird, fucked up child. he can handle this.]

[officerhops]

[God bless you, Sportacus.]

That's all any of us can really do, isn't it? Now let me think, umm...

Have you seen anything else suspicious or unusual you'd like to comment on? Maybe something in the building, or to do with one of the others?

[sportadork]

[almost pointedly long silence.]

Judging people by first impressions is not always fair! [translation: half of these people are very Concerning but i don't wanna be fucking rude about it.]

[officerhops]

[oh my god]

That...is a good point! But sometimes a first impression really tells you a lot about a person.

[Especially if that person's first words to you included "rabbit stew"]

[sportadork]

[STILL....]

I think... the only one we know we have to worry about is this Wordsmith. [whew. nailed it.]

[officerhops]

[There you go buddy.]

That I couldn't agree with more. Seems like so far they're not too keen on showing themselves. But I've dealt with bad guys before, and I can deal with them now.

[sportadork]

Do you think they will actually come see us? Why else would there be that one rule? [the "no punching" rule]

[officerhops]

I don't know. Probably no time soon, but eventually? It's likely.

Whoever this is is somewhere in this building, after all. There's no way they could hide forever.

[sportadork]

I am very confident you will find them!

[officerhops]

I'm glad you think so. For now, that's all the questions I have for you, I think. But you can expect me to be back with more, for sure.

[sportadork]

Any time!
