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.))

[ A question for the ages. ]

I'm sure our kidnappers aren't going to want us to know how much they have, or let us take inventory. But, I hazard a guess it'd be a finite amount.

That may or may not continue to be replenished, depending on the whims of our captors. So, unfortunately it's hard to gauge 'how' much either.

[ What a sad state of affairs...maybe it is an inevitability normies will seek out furniture for foods if they're trapped long enough!! ]

[modularized]

So we might be on a time limit...

[ might be, might be. there's way too many unknowns in this situation for her liking. ]

I hate situations like these. Why can't the bad guys just show up, make a weird speech, and then let us hit them in the face?

[dharmicrevelation]

[ That nets a small laugh from him. ]

Yes, that would be far easier to deal with, wouldn't it?

[ Far easier still if he were, you know, to be able to show them Shiva's wrath as well...but details. ]

[modularized]

It would be! It's how these things always go! They show up, act dramatic, and then we all get into a really big battle.

[ or at least that's what it used to boil down to, but. ]

Why do they always have to make things so complicated, though...

[dharmicrevelation]

[ ...Ah yes, the good ol' days of epic battles. ]

Because if they made it a straightforward battle, they would lose.

But, that's only more evidence to how much an enemy lacks integrity, than anything else.

[ Or is playing it smart, but unrighteous kidnappings makes them deserving of no praises, in Arjuna's opinion. ]

[modularized]

I don't really get it, but you're basically saying they have to complicate things because they're weak otherwise, right?

[ she doesn't really get what integrity has to do with fighting, or kidnapping ... and wouldn't most bad guys not have it to begin with anyway? ]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Keeping this simple, he'll just end up nodding. ]

...Exactly. They'd be too weak otherwise.

[modularized]

Okay...

But they were still able to get here in the first place, so we should still be careful, right?

[dharmicrevelation]

[ He'll nod. ]

Of course. Even if our enemy is evil, and is clearly weaker than any of us in normal circumstances, the fact remains that currently...we're at their mercy.

Until we eventually get the upperhand, that is.
