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 ]

...someone there?

[phonyphanty]

[silence]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Hey.

[Comes over to the door and tries the handle.]

If someone's in there —

[phonyphanty]

[nothing is blocking the door, but there is no response]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[Coming on in.]

Hello?

[phonyphanty]

[This would be when the jerk hiding behind the door leaps out, trying to get you in a chokehold.]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

What the —

[Cants sideways with the impact; you get hold, but he's already twisting to try and get free.]

[He wedges his hands in between the two of you and shoves with both arms, the flesh and the metal one.]

[phonyphanty]

[He is shoved off, but recovers his bearings quickly and pulls into a defensive position. His face and voice (or rather, your face and voice) are totally impassive as he asks:]

Who are you? What do you want with me?

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Hey, who's the one jumping on who, here?

[Dooooesn't know his own face right now, so that is not half so weird as it could be!]

[phonyphanty]

Answer the question.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

I want to know why you tried to choke me, that's what!

[phonyphanty]

I was going to knock you out. I wouldn't have been able to get any answers if I killed you.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Oh, gee, what a pal.

[Couple steps away, and the arms are coming up instinctively, the left one leading by pure muscle memory.]

[phonyphanty]

[Watching cautiously. He has a kind of stance like maybe he ought to be carrying a knife, though of course he isn't.]

I'm not getting answers either way, am I?

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Sure you are. The answer's: we've got a bunch of guys who don't know what the hell's going on.

Still working on the rest.

[phonyphanty]

[Pauses to think about that one, and then starts backing toward the door.]

Stay where you are.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Like hell!

So you can grab me when I come through the other way, too?

[phonyphanty]

No. If you're just some guy who doesn't know what the hell is going on, you're not of any interest to me.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Uh huh. And I'm gonna take the word of the guy who just generously opted not to kill me.

[phonyphanty]

Do or don't. Either way, I'm leaving.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Go right ahead. I'm coming, too, though.

[phonyphanty]

Not with me, you aren't.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Well, you're not going through so you can set up on the other side again.

[phonyphanty]

Suit yourself.

[rushes him, swinging at his head]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Wha — shit!

[Ducks down to miss the blow and sweeps a foot out, to try and knock you off your feet.]
