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.))

I wasn't thinking of it as a shared dream, but now that you mention it, this seems more like the type of dream Levi would have. Robots and talking pandas and everything.

[He's just saying!! This is way more chuuni than most of his dreams would ever be!! I think he knows the word chuuni. Close enough.]

I'm usually busy with different stuff in my dreams, and also-- Hm? [tilting his head like he's forgotten why 'Devildom' is questionable, and natch, he hasn't been outside of it in ages, has he] Where the devils live. The Kingdom of demons.

[anarchia]

[It saves such a lot of headache for him to be unfamiliar with the Christian God and accompanying ideas of demons.]

So, you’re not human?

[moodwinks]

[It saves so much headache when Christianity and whatnot isn't in the picture, it's true. ☆ Belphegor chuckles a little, because fair enough, he's talking to a robot. He keeps rediscovering this in this not-dreamscape.]

Not even a little. You aren't either, though I'd say you fit in here better than I do.

With the setting, I mean.

[Most of the people here are a little more on the humanoid side of things, but he wouldn't say most of them fit this aesthetic, either.]

[anarchia]

How so?

[He feels rather out of place, personally.]

[moodwinks]

I'd say it's like, all the machines and the industrial stuff and the feeling like we're all stuck in some kind of old-school movie... maybe from ten, twenty years ago?

[Is he calling these designs outdated. Is he calling the robot outdated. Well, it's true that the grunge is real around here.]

But you're probably not staff here. So, who are you?

[anarchia]

[He's a grungy robot, but he will take some offense at being put on the same level as all of this retro mess.]

My name is Carnivac. I'm just as much of a stranger here as you.

[He considers, briefly, divulging more information - then decides against it.]

And you are?

[moodwinks]

Belphegor.

[He tosses it off casually, without anything dangling; he's a lot more interested in getting his own questions in.]

So, are you... an actual robot, or one of those mechas with a pilot in them?

[Like, not human doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have a cockpit, even though Carnivac's not the hugest. It's also an irrelevant and very Levi question in some ways but some days you wake up in somebody's basement and decide this is how you're living your life.]

[anarchia]

An… [He restrains a sigh.] actual robot. Have you heard of the planet Cybertron?

[He assumes no, but it might save some explanation.]

[moodwinks]

... Definitely not. An alien robot?

[He seems to kind of perk up at this, for whatever reason.]

[anarchia]

Essentially - yes.

[Do what you will with this information.]

[moodwinks]

Wow. I'm guessing you know how to hide or something, because there'd be a worldwide uproar in the human world otherwise.

[He's assuming that metaphysically alien robots still belong in the human realm, which is frankly too bad because having demonic alien robots would be on another level. Well, now he's really sounding like a certain otaku, but he's pretty sure most of the house would be at least a bit impressed by (nondemonic) alien robots.

Belphegor contemplates this a bit more.]

Assuming this is something like that. If it's not the Devildom, and it's not your planet...

[It looks a lot like human furnishings and human-sized things, if you place a big robot next to them. There goes the point of reference.]

[anarchia]

[He nods.]

This does appear to be for humans - if not Earth itself. Though that’s where I last recall being, I assume that’s not the same for you?
