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.))

[dharmicrevelation]

i. hallways

[ There is a certain Servant making his way through the halls, not looking all that happy, but is that any surprise? This is a situation wherein people have been taken against their will—himself included, without a hint as to how such a thing has been possible.

He's on guard, and then he comes upon someone (aka your character), stopping in his search of the immediate area. ]

Have you just come to as well?

[ He offers the question, figuring that he will find out swiftly if they are in the same predicament or not. ]

ii. common room

[ Here is Arjuna, once again, looking about as happy as a clam (not), and taking in the general vicinity with all the excitement of a crab.

If someone is making a concentrated approach in his general direction, he will acknowledge by turning his head towards them. ]

It appears there are no shortage of ways to entertain ourselves. If we're unable to find an exit soon, I won't be surprised if our forced stay will be long.

[ With the implication in his words being, 'to our detriment', because he is not so excited about the potential reasons behind their arrival. ]

iii. wildcard

[ Want to bother the perfectionist (lol) somewhere else or in another scenario, giving him a headache? Go nuts. ]

common room

[nambu]

Nah, not a fan of sitting pretty and waiting for something to happen. A couple hours? Sure, why not. I'll give 'em that. But they're joking if they think I'm gonna play their li'l captive pet any longer than that.

[ ok, finn will even allow himself a day or three to figure things out, but he's got orphans to see and bills to pay. ]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Finn is actually a mood.

Well, he doesn't have orphans to see to, but hey. ]

I'd give being able to uncover a way out more than a few hours.

[ Especially since for some reason, he is not feeling like he should. Rude of this place. ]

[nambu]

So you're not the type to wait it out either, eh?

hallways

[bethorns]

[ Wow, he carries himself pretty well. Seems like he might have combat training or something? ]

Oh, yes. I was having dinner with my family, then it's a blank until waking up here...

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Well, that sure seems like a nice young lady. ]

A blank? That must have been when they struck, then.

[ ...Their kidnappers, he means. ]

[bethorns]

That makes me worried about my husband and daughter...but, I can't recall anything out of the ordinary then.

[ She'd have noticed knock out gas or something. ]

ii

[modularized]

[ sure, she can slow down enough now that it's obvious no one's going to get anywhere fast. ]

How long do you think 'long' will be, though?

[dharmicrevelation]

[ A pause as he considers the question carefully.

Very carefully. But no answer is satisfactory, from his own point of view. ]

It's hard to say. But, our chances of escaping sooner than later will rise if we work towards finding a way out.

[ Easier said than done, though. ]

[modularized]

[ oh good, a serious and thinky type. those are always good to have around. ]

I guess that makes sense ... Though.

Isn't it weird that they're letting everyone have as much food as they want, if they want to keep us here for a while?

[ you know, whoever 'they' is. ]

Common Room

[underinworld]

But what about food? That's the important thing. I'd rather not have to see people go back to their base state and begin munching on the couches.

[She has seen the robots coming from the kitchen of the diner, but...that doesn't mean there's an unlimited supply of food in there! Who knows how much food they actually have!]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Oh, that's right. Normal humans have to be concerned with food. ]

I haven't the opportunity to explore this place as much as I'd like. A more in-depth exploration might give us an answer.

[underinworld]

If no easy answer comes from some other place, breaking into the kitchen is the only choice.

[Her tone indicates she already has half of her mind intent in doing that]

hallway

[cbc]

[ When Louis first sees Arjuna, he gives him a quick look over. ]

I have. I'm no stranger to unusual awakenings, but the circumstances of this particular wakening seems unique.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Look at this heroic spirit, he's practically sparkling with heroism. Or something. ]

...Certainly. Being taken to places against someone's will isn't exactly something I'd consider under the usual.

Though I should hope your other unusual awakenings haven't been as unpleasant.

[cbc]

[ so sparkly, so heroic, so spiritual!! ]

They... [ Louis trails off, expression tense as he contemplates his answer. But then he shakes his head. ] ... aren't important right now. I'm more concerned about how and why we were brought here.

I presume you're as in the dark as I am, yet I feel compelled to ask anyway. Do you happen to know anything about this place? Or how we came to be here?

Common Room

[pottedplant]

[Resasuke did not mean to look like he was approaching Arjuna, it was mainly him not paying attention to where he was going and trying to find a way to relax in here.

But, someone has spoken to him now, so he may as well speak.]

Could be worse. But it could be better.

[He doesn't even recognize a good number of these books. It's...weird, eh thinks.]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Well, either way is fine with him in the sense of 'can't avoid it, might as well put up with it'. They're in this shithole together, buckaroo. ]

...You seem rather calm about our predicament.

[ Better than freaking out, he supposes. ]

[pottedplant]

[He shrugs.]

There's not really much we can do about it. No use freaking out, I think.

[That, and the shock of seeing so many non-animal people combined with the kidnapping may have led him to a panic so strong and great that it's completely reversed it's energy, earning the life achievement of 'My Chill Is Fake.'

Though it's probably the former, honestly.]

Common Room

[laughingfox]

[i completely understand, you are saying arjuna is ready to rave right lum

Anyways, Theo isn't exactly beelining to Arjuna, but he sure is wandering around and looking at what the common room has to offer, so he's certainly lingering enough to probably pass by the man a couple times as he browses.]

Or, they could decide we're not worth the trouble and then just kill us all. Be less of a hassle for 'em that way.

[He idly flips through a random comic book as he says this, although his expression is indifferent at best, like the comment is more of an offhand thought than anything else.]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Yeah it's totally crab rave hours. Ask Arjuna to do a silly dance and he may do it for free (he will Not.)

Jokes aside, that sure is a statement. Not an unfair conclusion to come to, he supposes, but y'know... ]

I doubt they will do anything like that.

[ Declared as confidently as him stating he received honor roll consistently to a potentially soon-to-be-proud or still-hard-to-please relatives. ]

[laughingfox]

[tosses monopoly money at him like we're at a strip club--wait no wrong murdergame

But huh. Arjuna's confidence does get Theo to glance over from the comic book as he quirks an eyebrow.]

...You sound pretty sure of yourself, for being in the dark as much as the rest of us.

[Despite the words, there's not really much bite behind it; rather than sounding argumentative, it's like he's just making an observation.]

common room

[sourtime]

Oh, yeah, man. I can't wait to play Parcheesi in someone's basement for the rest of my life.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ ....... ]

...Playing what?

[sourtime]

It's a board game? ... Look, that's not important, I was just giving you shit.
