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.))

[He pauses, scratching the back of his neck.]
It's, uh, okay. I'm just trying to find out as much information as possible. Even if it turns out we don't know anything, that means something. I think.
no subject
[Mob listens to Nick talk, only blinking once.]
Oh...so you're trying to find out what it is we need to figure out in the first place? That's pretty smart, actually.
If you're not a cop...are you some kind of investigator? You're dressed like you have an important job.
no subject
Um, yeah, I'm a private detective. I mean, I haven't taken any cases lately, and I wouldn't say I'm that important, but--I'm sorry, did you say domestic terrorism?
no subject
[Mob isn't a naturally emotive person, but he does seem to realize the gravity of what he's talking about judging by how he awkwardly stares at the ground.]
You're a private detective...those are the kinds people hire to look into something, right?
no subject
[Okay! Sure! Nick looks surprised, but quickly recovers. He drags a hand down his face.]
Yeah, that's my job. Missing husbands, suspicious individuals, staking out a house, so on and so forth. It's pretty mundane, usually, but people need stuff looked into. [He hesitates.] Though, uh, recently, my field of work seems to have expanded into the occult.
no subject
Oh, so you can see ghosts? I...help out somewhere that handles hauntings and curses, actually. Though it's more consultation than detective work...
no subject
[This one sounds more relieved than the previous 'oh', grateful that he doesn't have to get into an awkward explanation about ghosts and spirits and the like. His shoulders relax, ever so slightly.]
That actually kind of sounds like what I do. Something's causing a problem, go in, snoop around and see what the problem is. Sometimes it's a family of rabid raccoons in someone's attic, other times it's a ghost that just wants to cause trouble. [Hm. He pauses, tilting his head to the side.] Wait, how'd a kid like you get tangled up in stuff like that, anyways?
no subject
Well, I've been able to see ghosts and use telekinesis since I was little. I was about eleven when I met Reigen-shishou, and he offered to help me learn to control my powers by helping other people with their problems. Honestly, most ghosts aren't too dangerous if you know what to do?
no subject
[Nick nods in agreement.]
Telekinesis, huh...? To what extent, if I may ask?
