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.

As long as I'm... well, I don't know where I am now, aside from the obvious things. "With a bunch of strangers." "Long hallway." "Not underwater." "Probably not on the sun." [Caren rolls her eyes.] Not much to go on there, is there?

What's bothering me most is how there are no windows or exits or anything...we're probably somewhere underground, then, right? That's the only reason I could think of. The concrete walls remind me of some basement...

But, um, it's probably one heck of a place, if this is the basement.
lackinginfaith: Caren looks determined. (i'm in my bed aww yeaaaah)

I've definitely never seen anything like it. What kind of place puts all these advanced appliances in the kitchen, but makes you wash your dishes and your clothes by hand?
happysweets: (pic#9226737)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...The kind that doesn't have the energy or the hot water for a washing machine?
lackinginfaith: Caren looking to the side with disdain. (you got told)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
So they put the whole budget towards the kitchen. Great. Maybe they're a cook in their spare time when they're not kidnapping random strangers.

Maybe...that vending machine looked kind of cool, too, but I didn't really get a chance to see if there was anything nice inside...

What currency would it even take? There are people from all over the world here, it looks like.

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't think it'd be yen? I didn't have my purse in my room with me, anyway...
lackinginfaith: Caren eating with a smirk. (look at me look at me i'm so pretty)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be. It'll probably be marked.

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
But where do we get the money? Should we look under the couch cushions? Maybe it'll be like a scavenger hunt for them?!

[ That sounds like it could be fun! ]

Escape first, remember?

[just. shakes her head.]

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
O-oh, right...

...Wait, wait, wait, Misa-Misa's got it! Maybe there's something in the vending machine that can help us escape! Like a crowbar to open up the elevator doors!

[ WHO PUTS CROWBARS IN A VENDING MACHINE....... ]

So it'll be a useful scavenger hunt!

[sigh.] You go do that. I personally doubt it.

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rude ]

Oh, come on, you don't have to be such a stick in the mud! It's obviously here for a reason. Aren't you even a little curious?
lackinginfaith: Caren being a downer. (oh sorry. thought she was dead)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm curious about how to get out of here and back to where I was. Everything else can wait.
happysweets: (pic#9226762)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the rules are right there, aren't they?

If you want to get out so badly, the fastest way to do that would be to make someone disappear.

[ Blunt as can be. ]

...But are you really willing to resort to something like that?
lackinginfaith: Caren making a discovery. (i don't know how to comment on that)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You think they're serious?
happysweets: (pic#9226757)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't sound like a joke to me.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking nervous and contemplative. (she's just a bunch of pixels)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Does any of this sound realistic?
happysweets: (pic#9226750)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not, but does that mean it's not real?
lackinginfaith: Caren judging from a distance. (how big is your phone)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You've got a point. There's a lot out there that's hard to believe.
happysweets: (pic#9226736)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell me about it...at this point, there's not much I can say I wouldn't buy at me.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking to the side with disdain. (you got told)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-02-28 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
So all we need to do is get at the person behind this.

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-02-28 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but he needs to show himself first...

[ And if she had her eyes and her notebook, from there, it'd be easy.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's gonna be handed to her on a silver platter. ]
