INTRO

Vault 113

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.))

[WITHELD...SIGH...]

What it is I'm doing here.

[He is already believing this to be a pointless road to go down, but.......might as well.....rule it out....]

[yuritrash]

Oh! I don't know. Sorry.

[ She looks around. She hates this. Why doesn't she know more? ]

It's very normal-looking for a kidnapping, though, don't you think?

[anarchia]

[He nods.]

I find it rather concerning. Don’t you?

[yuritrash]

Definitely! But you know what they say, "Don't lose your head!"

[anarchia]

[And then the entirety of SIX played out in jeffs head.]

Easier said than done. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of our captor’s plan - to prey on the weaknesses in our minds.

[Why else would it be so kitsch]

[yuritrash]

[ guess you lost your head a little there huh jeff ]

Ooh, psychological warfare... that might be why all the board games are here in the other room, huh?

[anarchia]

They’re an effective means of causing discord, or leading to physical altercations.

[he HATES monopoly. or whatever their robot equivalent is. robopoly.]

They can’t mean for us to stay here and stay sane.

[yuritrash]

Oh, definitely not. They'd at least put in windows if they did, you know? Even I can see that.

[anarchia]

I hadn’t considered the lack of windows to be an intentional move…but it would add up. Removing our view of the outside world and the passage of time will do well in driving us insane.

[…]

Perhaps this is an exercise in seeing how long it would take.

[yuritrash]

That sounds like something a psychologist might do... guess that's why you don't see movies about mad psychologists.

[ this is hannibal erasure ]

[anarchia]

There is...something about the sciences that lead them down that path, isn't there?
