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.

[ well. as much as she wasn't expecting a voice to call out to her, specifically, she certainly wasn't expecting a comment on her age. pearl looks over at lynne with a glower. ]

The form I'm in is of my own construction. We don't 'age' like humans do. —Why am I explaining this, anyway?

[Isn't this the conversation you want from your fellow captives? Also that's a pretty weird thing to claim but Lynne seems to take it in stride.]

You made your own body? Is it a robot. [Why wouldn't you explain? This is important.] Have I been abducted?

No— No! — I mean, yes, possibly. [ A SIGH, as she pinches the bridge of her nose. ] We very possibly could have been abducted, but no, I'm not a robot. I'm a gem. And I also have a name.

[ she'll point to the profile with her little picture. gems are people too lynne ]

[SHE MEANS ABDUCTED AS IN ALIENS which she will continue with in a second. At least that bit of unintentional rudeness couldn't top the robot assumption. Which, by the way, the gem thing really doesn't explain the making your own body but whatever.]

Oh! It's nice to meet you Pearl. These must be some dastardly aliens to take so many people at once. It's a bit greedy too.

I don't think 'aliens' have anything to do with this.

[ she would know, considering she is one, sorta ]

Whoever brought us here is very capable, though. You should take this more seriously. I don't suppose you read the.. the rules.

[ they were enough to unsettle her, for sure ]

wokeupdead: (and no one's gonna save you)

[personal profile] wokeupdead 2016-02-28 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm taking this completely seriously. [And to her credit she trades out the obnoxious smile for something a bit more somber.] There's no way I'm gonna let something like that happen. I have somewhere to be tonight anyway, whoever's doing this will just have to wait.

[ oh— well, she wasn't expecting that, but she can certainly respect it. she isn't entirely sure that this girl will be able to attend to whatever obligations she had tonight (how long had they been here, anyway? they could have been knocked out for several days.), but she was determined to make sure everyone got out of here safely. ]

Well, that's certainly well-said. I don't plan on letting anything happen, either. I need to return home, but any kind of impending disaster here has to be thwarted first. [ she gives a small smile of camaraderie, affirmative and determined. ] I'll be counting on you. We all need to work together if we want to get out of here.

It's looking that way. [Honestly, to be kidnapped on any night and it had to be this one. She's a bit miffed! That confidence is pretty surprising though.] I don't mind working together but I probably shouldn't drag civilians into this. I'll totally get yelled at for it later!

[What even is a Crystal Gem?]

Civilians?

[ a grimace. lynne why do you offend peolpe without even trying. she's not a civilian she's the one that protects you!! ]

Maybe you should think of me as a special case.

[personal profile] wokeupdead 2016-03-02 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl... Pearl, she isn't going to get it if you are cagey like that. The title of Perceiving can only take her so far.]

I think we're all kind of special cases... [Wait! She remembers Mouri!] Are you a private detective too?
spearheaded: (it wasn't funny anyway)

[personal profile] spearheaded 2016-03-03 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah..

[ no. but maybe that's a good analogy?? ]

Something like that. I certainly would like to find out what's going on here and put an end to it.

If there are so many of you guys walking around then that's what should be on the profile! [Crystal gems!!] Well, hopefully we can figure something out quickly.
