INTRODUCTION
You wake feeling groggy. You have the distinct sense of oversleeping, even if you may not recall ever going to bed in the first place. And this bed? Definitely not yours, no matter how comfortable it may be. And you'd probably not go to sleep in your street clothes*, right? Well, maybe it's time to smooth out your bedhead and get exploring!
(*or whatever else you were wearing at the last moment you remember)
The first thing you'll notice is the complete absence of windows - are you underground? Though you'll encounter quite a few closed doors, there are some rooms for you to look through and maybe catch your breath in. Maybe it's time for a slushie in the dining room? Impatience won't get you anywhere!
And what's better than a sweet drink to bring strangers together? After all, you're not the only one who's crawled out of bed a little late today. Mingle and don't worry too hard about your current predicament!
((The Mastermind will introduce themselves at 7pm EST real time.))

Nah, it was a person turning into marbles. [ yes, not marble. marbles. ] But same diff.
no subject
...You come from a pretty weird place if people doing that is normal.
no subject
That's so far from normal, you kidding? Think about it: marbles aren't alive, so if you turn into one, you're basically, uh, unalive. Dead. Resting in actual pieces.
[ what's the collective noun for marbles? a murder of marbles?? ]
no subject
Huh? That's completely different, then! [is it really, maybe he's just being a little too nitpicky here, but] Pretty sure she's not dead after pulling that stunt.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, but coming from that blood must've mean she turned into-- ugh, forget it, this isn't going anywhere. [just ruffles his hair a little in agitation.]
Anyways, is that what happened to the marble guy, then? He just died like that?
no subject
Yeaaah. And the guy who did it used the marbles as his weapon - like bullets but without a gun. His name's Bobby Balls or something stupid. Watch out for him, kid.
[ guess they're lucky he didn't show up here! ]
no subject
[in fact it's so dumb it sounds like finn's bullshitting him, but maybe he's finally gotten tired of reacting to these things?? or maybe it just seems inconsequential here when it doesn't seem like there's a stupidly-named guy flinging marbles at people in the middle of the mm meet and greet.]
But sure, I guess. [noncommittal, like he's just saying it for the sake of saying it.] And it's not "kid", it's Theo. Or Theoto Rikka, if you care about full names.
no subject
Finn Oldman, but I only keep the full name - last name thing with clients. [ he doesn't bother to take his hands out of his pockets to offer theo a handshake. it's a pain to be formal all the time. ] Theo, it is.
Did they try to name you Theodore and forget some letters?
no subject
there's a small nod to acknowledge finn's introduction. also soupie this is the most reasonable explanation i've ever heard for why his name is like this, wow!! theo, unfortunately, is less impressed.]
Huh? How should I know? Besides, I could say the same for you--were your parents expecting a fish or something?
no subject
No clue, don't remember 'em.
[ he's... not even sure this is his birth name? which is something he doesn't want to think pretty much ever. ]
But I'm special 'cause it's Finn with two Ns.
no subject
Well, me neither.
[No parent solidarity isn't exactly what he expected to discover in this conversation, but hey.]
Then maybe they were trying to name you Fin but accidentally added the extra letter?
[is this a petty echo of what Finn said before, maybe]
no subject
no subject
...That's an optimistic way of looking at it.
