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.))

Lucky for you that you're not. I hear they don't do well in prison. Not on the far side of the bars.
[ If the aim was to reassure her, it worked. Klaasje's shoulders sink slightly, an echo of his, and some of the tension in her fizzles out. ]
I'm no private investigator, but...maybe that's why you're here? Looked too hard at the wrong thing? Or person.

It's...entirely possible. I was looking into something important to me. [Another pause. He looks away from Klaasje.] But for some reason, the deeper I dig, the more people I seem to piss off. Maybe someone took notice.
[A sigh.]
But that doesn't explain why everyone else is here, too.

Sorry again, investigator.
[ She does actually sound sorry. ]
If I find any clues, should I bring them to you?
no subject
[He runs a hand through his hair, looking just a tad more distressed than he was earlier.]
Sorry for taking up your time. And good luck.

[ A light-bulb flash of a smile, the first one to show her straight, even teeth. ]
I'm glad we have someone experienced on the case. I'll come to you first.
