Who: Everyone
When: Day 1, Morning
Where: The Dorms
What: It begins.

[ it's morning, and though there's no shrill of an alarm or sunlight streaming in through windows, you've all just woken up. probably. That would account for why you seem to be in bed, and why you don't remember doing anything before this. It must have been a nice restful sleep.

in this room you don't recognize.

. . . actually, maybe the reason you don't remember doing anything isn't related to having just woken up at all. if you search your mind, you'll find your recollection totally blank.

Maybe you should get up and find out what's going on ]

Not a bit.

[ steps out into the open. ]

How strange... It must not be coincidence, but I can't imagine what reason there would be behind it.

[ offers out a hand, though a bit tentatively, easy enough to brush off ]

Still, I'd like to make the most of this and work together if we can.

[ it takes him a moment, looking down and then looking at his face before he takes his hand.

. . . and then reads his mind, to make certain he's being honest. or at least, tries to. he hasn't learned how unreliable that sort of thing is here, yet. ]

[ SO RELIEVED HE ACCEPTED PLEASE BE MY FRIEND PLEASE BE MY FRIEND

sorry about my dead person hands. squeezes, light and encouraging ]

Let's go look for more people. I bet there are others just as confused as we are.

[ when it works and he reads that from the other's mind, his expression becomes less guarded and he smiles back, and squeezes his hand in return, light and acknowledging ]

You think so?

[ are you still reading my mind btw ]

I do. And even if we don't find anyone else like us, maybe there will be someone who does remember something, or at least a hint to what we're meant to do here.

[ nope, because it's distracting and takes prolonged effort. but yes, I should have clarified. MIND READING NO LONGER ]

Last part is what's worrying. If they know what's going on, why don't we?

[ if we timejump forward I can tell you about the journal I was shown downthread

I will also hold your hand for as long as you allow me to ]

Even if it's unlikely, I want to hope they'll be willing to help us.

[ he doesn't let go until there's other people around, so when we time-jump forward to be in the presence of others in the kitchen ]

Yeah. I'll hope yours comes true.

Thank you.

Let's go?

[ down the hall to. somewhere?? ]

No point sticking around here.

[ lets him lead past the common room, into the lobby and elevator ]

[ are there stairs. I don't know what an elevator is

glancing at the wall ]

Erelim... Do you know what that means?

[ stairs and four elevators, now that I look at the setting page. looks over at where it's been spray painted and shakes his head ]

Not a clue. Someone's name?

It's the same color as our robes.

If neither of us know what it is, I guess we should just keep going.

Same color as that, too. [ he brings up their joined hands, flipped over to show his sword tattoo. he'd noticed it when the other boy held out his hand to shake ]

Yeah. Not learning anything by staring at it.

Branding...?

[ starting for the door to the lobby area, even as he studies their hands ]

Could be. The brand of a sword for prisoners of war? Soldiers?

[ smiles dully, sounding unexcited by these possibilities as they head through the small lobby ]

Edited 2014-08-16 08:36 (UTC)

I don't think I would make much of a soldier.

[ pausing to look around the area for a moment, then heading for the... door with a handle because I can figure out how to open it ]

[ down the stairs, one hand on the railing ]

Me either. Just gotta hope whoever gave us the mark agrees.

[ h a h a ]

I guess so.

[ stairs all the way downnnn ]

--Do you hear that? There's a person calling!

[ lets go of his hand ]

Someone else here after all. Let's see who.

[ falters, a little disappointed, but oh you're shy that's ok ]

Yeah.

[ AND THEN TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEN REGROUP? ]

[ talking to other people occurs and then yes, he returns ]

Anyone have anything to say?

There's a room that moves between the different floors, and the marks on other people's hands are different. And there's a journal.
