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.))

[ He certainly is!!

It's exactly how a person like him should be. The ideal. ]

Actually, I was assuming we would find a way out on our own.

[ Honestly though, Arjuna does imagine this will not be done without potentially a few casualties from the attempt, but that's natural, right? Though, besides the mild posturing, believing otherwise simply means their captors remain victorious; an unacceptable conclusion. ]

It might be possible someone would come looking, but it'd also be a matter of finding where we are. Considering the resources our enemies have, I doubt we'd be easy to find by others, if at all.

[laughingfox]

[It should be an obvious response, but there's a couple of blinks here like he wasn't expecting that answer at all, despite several people here already making it quite clear that they're more the proactive type than anything else.]

Yeah, but if they have as many resources as you're saying, that means they're probably prepared for any attempts we'd make to escape, too. [Unless they're really, really stupid?] At minimum, you'd expect some surveillance.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Well, that's fine. Some people find different responses surprising, no matter how logical they may sound; perhaps those kinds can be considered even moreso when factoring into the unfortunate elements of their current situation. ]

Oh, of course they are. It'll be foolish to expect them not to be.

[ . . .But, he also has this to add: ]

Regardless, relying on others to break us out here would be a mistake. Even under surveillance, if we're careful and determined enough, we'll find a way to strike back.

[laughingfox]

[This is a level of optimism and confidence that he's not really used to given the situation they're in, and while it doesn't quite manage to change Theo's mindset on a fundamental level, it's... well. Nice to know that there's someone here thinking like that? If nothing else, it's probably better for morale.]

It's not like I was expecting anyone to come looking anyway. Besides, I'm pretty used to fighting without any reinforcements on our side... so it's not like I mind pitching in if someone comes up with a plan. It'll be pretty rough without knowing what we're up against, though.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Arjuna hoping his optimism and confidence does rub a bit off on the people here. Not to the point of false hope, but... ]

Well, at least you have experience having the odds against you.

[ Saying with a huff of wry amusement. There is barely anything good to be found about their situation; interjection of any humor almost stark impolite, but a sliver of optimism isn't impermissible. ]

Our captors will reveal their evil faces to us soon enough. I assume we'll be able to better gauge a further examination of any other abilities they have we would have to contend with. And other advantages, of course.
