trusthell | Induction.

Today seems to have been an exercise in providing more questions than answers. After all, aside from the rules on the walls, it's not as though there's much here that's going to help you understand what's going on, or why you're here in the first place. Some of you are angry; some are more confused than anything. Some are dealing in the best way that they know how.

But perhaps one question remains at the back of mind, regardless of what you choose to make of the situation, and rightly so: Who is responsible for this?

It's a question that doesn't seem to have a ready answer; after a while, though, you will receive something. It's not a solution, and it's not a way out, but it's contact – the sound of the public address system crackling to life somewhere above your heads, an indication that someone, somewhere, is aware that you're here and has something to say.

'I trust that all of you had a good night's sleep. Now that you have hopefully familiarized yourselves with your fellow Apprentices, allow me to make a formal introduction myself.'

The voice is male, that much is obvious; it isn't recognizable to anyone present, however.

'Welcome and congratulations, new Apprentices of Chronos University. You have been chosen for a valuable exercise of higher learning within these walls. Both the rules and a list of your fellow Apprentices have been provided for you in several locations, and I advise that you study both very carefully. Knowing them well can only serve to help you.'

'As for my own introduction, I am the equivalent of a headmaster to this educational institution. For our time together, you may refer to me as the Wordsmith. I do hope that you all endeavor to make the most of your time spent here, however you may choose.'

[OOC: You can be heard just fine through the PA system, so feel free to ask/say anything your little heart desires!]

[Look at all you important people with your important questions and serious inquires. And Lusamine and Guzma.

Wonderful people. Such priorities here. Let's continue the Pokémon tradition of not having those!!]

Yo, Smitty! Mind pushin' back the curfew a little? Midnight oughta be our "night," don'tcha think? We ain't a buncha kids yanno!

I would rather not.

Got a good reason for that?

Among other things, I already set that time in the rules and it's too late to waste time changing it.

Additionally, I simply don't want to.

[YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE IS WHAT HE'S HEARIN]

Alright, lazybones, new question: The hell's with the lack of washin' machines? I ain't givin' up on the curfew thing, but I've got an idea on how to wear you down about that later.

[... As in, he's probably going to call the hell out of you at ""night"" so you'll eventually give in and make night midnight.]

...That may have been a moderate oversight on my part.

[......... you are not as much of an asshole as you could've been, but that's not saying a ton]

So can we expect some soon or what. 'Cause this jacket is not cheap enough to be handwashed.

...It's just a hoodie, Gold.

I almost wanna say that I couldn't believe you'd say that to my face, Silver, but it's you.

[fuckin forest child has not a single Fashion Sense smh]

This is a designer hoodie! And it's new! It's gotta be taken care of properly, and that means not washin' it by hand!

I thought hand washing was gentler than a washing machine.

[#priorities]

Sure, but listen: I'm definitely mess it up somehow if I do it by hand, so I'd rather just have a machine that'll do everythin' right for me.

[he knows his limits and "washing designer clothes by hand" is one]

Don't you think you should go to bed a little sooner than that? [just quietly trying to prevent poor decision-making tonight i guess.]

Dude, no way! Stayin' up past midnight's the teenage experience! I go to bed at at least two.

[i'm so sorry, sportacus..!!!]

I'm not sure you'd see a whole lot of nightlife here anyway.

[fuck he's gotta adjust his whole fucking sleeping schedule fuck all of you]

[HE'S TRYIN REAL HARD, BRUCE!!!! FOR ALL OF THEM.]

Yeah, that's another thing, the hell's with the lack of windows here? I want a view of something, even if all the ladies here are pretty damn nice to look at themselves.

They wouldn't want us to see outside. No awareness of our surroundings that way.

[he is having a goddamn stroke.]

If you go to sleep too late here, you might sleep through something interesting during the day! [LIKE MURDER]

[I AM SO SORRY SPORTACUS!!!!]

There ain't a single thing that's interestin' on this floor, my man, no reason not to! Build an arcade or something like that and I'll start goin' to bed early.

It's not like anything will be much more interesting at night, either!

Oh, I've got plans for the night. Real important ones.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

[WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL HIM WHAT HE DOES AND DOES NOT HAVE]

No you don't.

[BUDDY,]

I do! Seriously, Silver, back me up for once!
