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.))

[ despite his earlier words, he adds: ]

Reassurance, sure. It's also helpful to trust kids to make their own decisions too, though. He was freaking out at first, but then pulled himself together.

Think it's pretty common for us to forget we were once that young, too, and what we were already capable of back then.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Hmm... ]

And it certainly isn't like we can hold their hand throughout a situation like this.

What you're saying makes sense.

[nambu]

Yes. We dunno how this situation will play out. We have... what, around 20-25 people here with us? That's a lot of people to watch out for.

[ or watch out for (negative). ]

[dharmicrevelation]

It certainly is.

But, well, I'll presume that at least most people here will have good sense, and be inclined to work towards a solution.

[ Not counting the, uh...outliers. But, it's fine. The implication is there. ]

[nambu]

What's the closest situation you've ever been in to, uh, something like this?

[dharmicrevelation]

...I'm afraid this is the first time I have been in a situation such as this.

[ Nor would he have been happy to have been "kidnapped" by anyone else before. ]

What about yourself?

[nambu]

Not the first time I've been taken to a place against my will, but definitely a first seeing so many people in the same position.

[ you hear of mass kidnapping rings or human trafficking rings, but who kidnaps a giant red panda and...? a robot? hold on. ]

Just making sure, but you did see the giant red panda walking around, right? I'm not hallucinating or anything?

[dharmicrevelation]

That's unfortunate. Going through this kind of incident again...

[ Perhaps he should check up on Finn later on. He is not overly fond of getting too close to people or entertaining company for long, but...anyway.

That said, times like these I wish Arjuna were a bit of a troll, but he is far too straightlaced for that.

So he just simply shakes his head. ]

No, you're not hallucinating anything. You're not used to that sort of thing? Seeing beings like that walk around?

[nambu]

No? You are?

[ he's not the type to freak out about that sort of thing, but it's still weird. c'mon, arjuna!! ]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ He'lllll be cracking a little smile at that. ]

I may be simply used to seeing extremely unusual things, such that a walking and talking 'panda' doesn't seem so odd.

Eventually, maybe you will acclimate to even stranger sights.
