Welcome.

You last remember feeling safe.

You don't know what caused that response, now that you think about it; you can't remember what you were doing before the warm, comfortable feeling came over you, a sensation somewhere between relief and the light contentment that comes with the knowledge that you're safe enough to sleep and god, are you ready to. It feels like you may have been sleeping for a while before this, even; your limbs are heavy in the memory, and you recall how difficult it was to open your eyes.

Turning your head is likewise difficult, it feels kind of like it's full of sand. Weighted-down by sleep. It's so much easier to remain still, and so you do, and before you haze out again you can vaguely hear a voice.

It's no one you recognize, and it sounds strange and vaguely distorted as you start to drift off again.

"Everything'll be fine."

There isn't an answer that you can hear; the voice speaks once more.

"...you ready?"

You don't remember what you wanted to say to that. Always, maybe. Or Ready for what? Or perhaps What's happened to me?

But none of it matters, because consciousness slips away from you too quickly for you to respond.

---

You wake up some time later; the comfortable, safe feeling from earlier certainly isn't dampened any by the bed you wake up in. Whether you like it soft as a cloud or firm enough to support the most finicky of spines, the bed you're in is nice, and it's pretty much exactly what you've been looking for in a mattress.

Shame the rest of the room is probably going to be a bit jarring when you wake up properly.

The room you're in is completely unfamiliar, all concrete and steel and almost nothing that makes it yours - but there's a trunk near the bed and there's what looks like a smartphone sitting on the trunk, and you might want to grab that before you leave the room. Trying to text or call out won't do anything for the time being, unfortunately, but it's something. A lifeline, maybe.

If you're looking to see if anyone is here with you, maybe you can find someone as you wander through the main corridor; after all, there are a few places to explore here, even if the bulk of the place is pretty much a straight shot down the center. If you're looking to gather, the dining hall is probably the best place for it, as it's large enough to accommodate all of you.

Wherever you choose to go, however, there are a set of rules posted in every room; the far wall of the dining hall, across from the entrances, also has a bulletin board with twenty-seven pictures, along with some...interesting information, posted on it. The board is large enough for all of you to look at it, but you might not want to try to get at anything posted there; just like the rules, there's glass in front of it, and it's looking to be extremely shatterproof.

Sorry about that.

There's one more thing you'll notice on your wanderings through the corridor – there are no windows, and there are no doors that can possibly lead outside.

Looks like you're trapped. Might as well get to know those that are here with you.

You've got a point. It's too small for the amount of people we have, even with our own rooms.
goodforsomething: (⛵ fuck you too buddy)

Prisons are bigger than this. And they let you go outside and see things that aren't concrete.

[ ............. ]

Do you... have experience with that?
goodforsomething: (⛵ oh yeah totally yep)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-01 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...what? No. Haven't you ever watched TV?

[ OKAY GOOD he was. sort of worried there. ]

Of course, but not a lot of it. I read more.
goodforsomething: (⛵ looking cocky)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-01 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're in luck. Looks like there's a ton of books down here.

[Kinda salty about the lack of TV tbh]

They're cheap knock-offs of real books, and I like reading nonfiction more... which there's a suspicious lack of. [ trust us, buddy

black has been there. ]
I'm sure I'll find something to read there [ maybe they have some noir! ] but it's not looking good so far.

Not much else to do. Unless you're volunteering for laundry duty...

[ ...that reminds him! ]

Do you think a chore list would be a good idea? [ they had one for his family c: ] A rotating one. ...just for the moment. Like for laundry and making meals and stuff.

[ yeah. ]
goodforsomething: (⛵ let's think about this)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-01 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...y'know, that's not a bad thought. If we end up having to ration the food, it'll be easier for everyone to eat the same meal.

It'd be best to start soon too. We don't know how long any of this is going to last, or if whoever's keeping us here is going to be restocking the fridge whenever something goes out. [ ...that last thought is kind of creepy. ]
goodforsomething: (⛵ disgrunkled)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-01 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
We've got at least a few boxes of dry stuff in storage. [A few less now that Stan has been in there, tbh] But with so many people, we're already in trouble if we have to go to that.

Best case, he will restock. And we can jump the bastard then.

I'm not really one to encourage violence [ like at all, bless his pacifist heart ] but... that sounds like a pretty good plan. I have a few questions I'd like to ask him.

[ First and foremost: the inclusion of a vending machine, but not a washing machine. (Or a dishwasher.) ]

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-01 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've got a few good ones myself.

[Stan cracks his knuckles.

It is a euphemism. He wants to beat the shit out of him!]
