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.

Oh, you're another one - I've met a few people from Japan here, I have no clue where it is. I'm from Amestris, myself, and completely unsurprised if you've never heard of it.

[...Like hell if he knows why not, but still.]

And really? I'm also unsurprised to hear about that - some of us come out fine, some of us come out...a lot less fine, depending on what we're doing with it.

[chessturner]

Amestris...is that in Europe?

[It sounds like it's in Europe, but yeah, she has never heard of it]

You don't seem on the verge of losing your mind. What did you use to do for the military?

[alchemicals]

Not really, no.

[...Anyway.]

I was in charge of chemical weaponry, both creating and deploying. It was an interesting job; enough of a challenge to keep my attention for more than five minutes, anyway, and that's not a particularly easy thing sometimes.
