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.

[ Krone--she's either Norwegian or Danish then, right? ...that's strange, he's definitely never learned either of those languages, has he-- ]

Please do. [ Because he is really curious! That wasn't a lie.

...and she looks like she's gonna do it no matter what he says anyway, so uh. Go for it, lady. ]
captainobnoxious: (12 matter o' fact kids)

[Yeah this thing is gonna get tipped the hell over if she has any say in it.

Sigrun rolls her shoulder as she does a half-circle back and forth around it, pushing Black to the side gently, and ramming into it with her shoulder.

Machine 1, Sigrun 0.]


Wow, that is a tough box. [Ouch. It didn't even move, did it.] Guess it's not all just for show, but every thing's got its weak point.

[So she'll rinse and repeat, trying it from different angles and using different techniques. This would be over so fast if she had her gun.

... She doesn't seem the be stopping either.]
penduli: (66 you just have to want it badly)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-28 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ One of two things is going to happen:

1. She's going to break her shoulder or
2. She's going to have a really, really sore shoulder.

...OR BOTH... HE GUESSES IT COULD BE BOTH. After a few more... obviously fruitless attempts, Black hunches his shoulders and steps away from her and the machine. (Yep.) ]


It's fine. I'm sure it's nothing interesting... It can't be food or drink, after all. [ That's in the kitchen. ] It might not even be stocked.
captainobnoxious: (08 you sure you're not 16)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-28 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she'll still roll it off like it's nothing, which is what she's doing right now. Though it does sting. Rest assured, her shoulder is not happy with the treatment it has been getting today.]

Seeing as there's no way in or out [and she's checked this, naturally, always look for an escape route] it has to be stocked, else it'd be pretty useless to us.

[Another slam, but she'll step away from it after that.]

That was my hardest one yet! And nothing. Maybe it's hiding something.
penduli: (82 no street talk will get you out of th)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-28 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ THERE'S NO WAY IN OR OUT???

no, he also checked around like a reasonably anxious individual, he knows that too. ]


Considering whoever this place belongs to split their budget between this and the kitchen instead of important things [ like washing machines WHY NO WASHING MACHINES ] I wouldn't be surprised if it was useless.

[ bbbut danorwegian lady has a point; if it's this hard to tip over or get anything out of, really, maybe it is hiding something? In detective stories, there's usually something behind hard-to-move things... and well, reality =/= fiction, but this place is already weird. Maybe it'll lend itself to it. ]

Maybe there's something behind it?
captainobnoxious: (06 don't talk much? too bad! i do!)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-28 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly what I was thinking.

[So... Black doesn't look anything but shrimpy, and her face says as much, but she'll smile despite that and brace herself against the side of the machine.]

You keep an eye out for anything behind this thing and I'll shove, alright kitten?
penduli: (45 five-six-seven to your heart)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-28 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ..........kitten. ]

Sure.

[ KITTEN.................... ]
captainobnoxious: (08 you sure you're not 16)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-28 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good. Alright, breathe in deep, and HEAVE HO--





THAT IS NOT MOVING. THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT MOVING. Sigrun blows out, leaning on the machine and staring at Black.]


This is a lot heavier than it looks. [Not trying to save face or anything, but surely he knows that from her strong persistence it's true.] There's definitely something behind it, but I don't think we'll be getting to it anytime soon.

[Since... they can't move it, that is. There has to be something hiding.]

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ WELL.

THERE GOES THAT. ]


Maybe it'll move out of the way for us when it's time for it to, or if we put in a secret code or pull a lever. Like in the movies.
captainobnoxious: (09 mmm!)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Yeah, sure, one of those things. What's a movie?
penduli: (45 five-six-seven to your heart)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Really?
penduli: (79 we gotta find a way)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh.


well. ]


They're moving pictures, usually based off of books. They're really popular. [ HE... NEVER THOUGHT HE'D HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE ABOUT MOVIES, REALLY. ]
captainobnoxious: (24 nah nah i'm joking)

1/2

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, why didn't you just say so! I mean, they're not that popular if I've never heard of them before, but if books really were moving like that I might want to actually read them!
captainobnoxious: (19 yeah that's broken)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Except not really. Sounds boring anyway.
penduli: (04 how it slips right through my hand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SIGRUN ]

Books aren't boring.
captainobnoxious: (22 well well well)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not something that're useful in my everyday life, so I'm not inclined to care about them.

[... Except she really has the urge to pick up a lot of them anyway, like they might be valuable or something.]

I'll leave that to people like you.
penduli: (02 life is a fire burning inside)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Books are valuable..! ]

I'd say "they might become useful" here, but given what I've read of them, they don't really seem like they're going to be any use at all. Except maybe as kindling, if it comes down to that. [ SHOCK... HORROR... THE BOOKWORM NERD SAYS IT he's just a little mad that there's nothing Genuinely Helpful in there, okay.

...he'll forgive the books and read them later. ]
captainobnoxious: (10 let's see.)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[hahaha someone actually read them]

No, no, kindling wouldn't be good. [For some reason.] Let's just figure something else to do with them when the time comes. We could sell them off.
penduli: (01 life is a light shining around us)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-02-29 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ why wouldn't it be good. ]

Sell them off to who, exactly?
captainobnoxious: (02 i'm the best ofc)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-02-29 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[if she knew she'd say something]

Dunno. But I have a feeling we'd get pretty good money from it.
penduli: (63 in a city on fire)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-03-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's only if we get out of here. [ which they can't do unless they participate in. something unsavory. ]
captainobnoxious: (22 well well well)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-01 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
And we will, kitten, don't worry about it. Trust me, it'll be fine.

[Look at that confidence.]
penduli: (03 i just can't understand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-03-01 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Please don't kill anyone.
captainobnoxious: (02 i'm the best ofc)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-01 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nooo promises. If someone comes at me with the intent to kill, I'll kill them first, and you'd be wise to do the same.

[She's gonna come over and give him a nice pat on the head. She does this for all the kids?]

Or you can stick with me and we'll just leave together as a package to sell those bad boys off.
