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 huffs a soft laugh at that.]

If there's one thing they got right about me above all else, it's that. I don't know when to quit, you know?

But...try not to worry, okay? I can't promise this won't get worse before it gets better, but rest assured there's someone trying to figure things out here.

[oyashiromama]

A responsible authority figure puts...ah, a few worries to rest. [Telling her to stop worrying altogether is like telling a fish to stop swimming.]

...Aaah, please don't...mind me saying this, though, I have never met...a talking rabbit.

[officerhops]

It's alright. You aren't the first to say that today...

But I've never met a human in general, so I guess we're even, huh?

[oyashiromama]

What? Oh, but I'm not... [She. Trails off. Usually she'd want people to think her as such, and she still does but. The horns aren't an immediate giveaway...?]

[officerhops]

[Judy doesn't know much about humans yet...forgive her...]

Oh...oh! I'm sorry, you're...not a human, then?

[oyashiromama]

No, I'm not, I- I'm not, I'm what they would call a demon.

[incredible conflicting feelings]

[officerhops]

[a h]

Oh. Well...I can't say I've ever met a demon before, either, so I'm learning a lot today!

[Takin that in remarkable stride, Judy.]

[oyashiromama]

[...JUDY...

Hanyuu looks down at her, a little stunned, and then abruptly raises a long-sleeved arm to her face, as if wiping something away.]

I believe both of us are. [SMILE]

[officerhops]

It's nice to meet you then! You know, I don't think I actually got your name?

[oyashiromama]

Hanyuu Furude. You may call me Hanyuu.

[officerhops]

It's good to meet you, Hanyuu. That's a pretty name.
