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.))

I can't prove that I'll honor my word. I'll swear on my honor as a Lyctor and a Prince and in the Emperor's name, but that won't mean anything to you.
Similarly, you can't prove that you're not the true mastermind of this little game.
As for whether I can bring you back... the machine that brought you here wasn't designed to bring others into this ragged hole of a world, it was designed to let the original dwellers of this place leave. I'll give you that for free.

She is correct to presume (at this time) neither of those things mean a thing. But, a Prince? He is raising a brow, because of her general appearance and then there's the stuff about a 'Lyctor'? Filing this away for later. ]
You're right that it doesn't. For many reasons.
And I will gratefully take your freely offered information.
But, don't you think you're insulting the intelligence of everyone here by trying to imply anyone but yourself is the mastermind?
no subject
[Oof.]
In these sorts of situations, relying on the good sense of others is an excellent way to die. I'm feeling generous, so I'll give you that for free too.
no subject
Though I had my doubts you were anywhere near being anything like a proper 'Prince' for what are obvious reasons, your words have cemented them.
[ But he supposes her being so insulting is to be expected. Not that Arjuna is necessarily handling this gracefully. ]
And while we are trading unsolicited advice, keep in mind that underestimating your enemies is an excellent way to end up dead.
