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.
blastiarm: (UGH ❖ yuri's not in the party??)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I could've been captured where I was, but that would involve the Knights being competent and that's not possible.
garudynamic: (Huh?)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Knights? Like, legit knights?
blastiarm: (UNSURE ❖ why does the dog have my moves)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...? What else would they be?
garudynamic: (flopping about)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Do those even really exist anymore? I thought it was just a title or something?

[He's not sure. Yu would know.]
blastiarm: (HESITANT ❖ not according to keikaku)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they exist where I'm from. There's a lot of them, they serve the Empire, so there has to be a bunch of 'em.
garudynamic: (Yes tell me more)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay between this and his conversation earlier with Speedwagon he's starting to get the seed of an idea.]

Empire... huh. Yeah we're definitely not from the same place.
blastiarm: (UNSURE ❖ why does the dog have my moves)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess so. Everyone's familiar with the Empire, even if they aren't a part of it. And everyone knows about blastia, so...
garudynamic: (Pondering)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Assuming neither of us are lying then...

I think we're talking way beyond different countries or something like that.

[He doesn't wanna outright say 'another world', but it's there in the air.]
blastiarm: (UNSURE ❖ why does the dog have my moves)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, I guess so.

[That doesn't seem likely at all. Zagi's explored a good amount of the world and what he hasn't seen, he's heard about. It doesn't sound like this is even possible, but it's better than thinking about it too hard.]

It'd be nice to have some idea of where we are right now, but I guess that's asking for too much.
garudynamic: (Glare)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, some context might help. But I haven't even seen a window since I woke up.
blastiarm: (WHAT ❖ who's sonic the hedgehog??)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...Come to think of it, neither have I. Huh. That's weird.
garudynamic: (Oh shit)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks like a bunker or something. God, I hope we're not underground...
blastiarm: (CUT ❖ ??????)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Underground... Huh, that might explain the lack of windows and stuff. But that's gonna give someone claustrophobia...

[It looks sort of like it's giving Zagi claustrophobia.]
garudynamic: (Wince)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke isn't as bad off- this isn't too much different from the back areas at Junes. But knowing he *can't get out* is not helping]

Or cabin fever... shit.
blastiarm: (WOW ❖ never mind i take it back)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh. I guess I shouldn't expect more from kidnappers, but still...

[you say that like you have any sort of moral superiority, zagi]
garudynamic: (Drank)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, we could all be tied up or something.
blastiarm: (CONFUSION ❖ what's a cellphone)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-28 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, it could be worse. The bed was pretty comfortable, at least.

[Which is also confusing. Why would kidnappers give the people they kidnapped nice mattresses???]
garudynamic: (Drank)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-29 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
If they were gonna go through that effort they could at least make the rest of this place look a little nicer.
blastiarm: (BORED ❖ when can i fight someone)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-29 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would've been appreciated...
garudynamic: (Talking)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-29 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Though speaking of now much went into this place, have you seen that elevator yet?
blastiarm: (UNSURE ❖ why does the dog have my moves)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-29 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the doors wouldn't budge. It looks really nice. I haven't seen that many elevators before though.

[WELCOME TO THE TECHNOLOGICALLY BACKWARDS LAND OF VESPERIA one day i will play a character not hindered by technology]
garudynamic: (Pondering)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-02-29 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
So there has to be more floors to this place. Maybe another way out?
blastiarm: (WOW ❖ never mind i take it back)

[personal profile] blastiarm 2016-02-29 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That'd make the most sense. Whatever floor we're on doesn't have the exit. There aren't any stairs, right? So that's our only way out.
garudynamic: (Got an idea)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-03-01 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I bet it wouldn't even be that hard to pry them open either!
