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.))

Why?

[ Not so fast, Shadowhunter. ]

I mean, a name like that...there has to be a story.

[howveryglib]

There is, yes... though it is not exactly the sort of thing I want to discuss with everyone I meet for their own protection.

[discodancer]

Ohhh. I get it.

[ That is not the most respectful drawn out 'ohhh' in the world. ]

Special deployment. Deep cover, top secret. You're an operator.

[ She winks, lavishly. ]

Don't worry. I'll keep your secret, big guy. All hush hush.

[howveryglib]

...

I was being serious and truthful.

[maybe at one point he might've gotten kind of huffy about something like this.

now he's just kind of sad...........]

[discodancer]

[ It's like watching a mountain slump. Klaasje softens, stepping closer to him and tilting her head back to adjust for his height. ]

So was I.

[ Well - ]

Truthful, at least.

If you say I shouldn't know, I believe you. I do get it.

[howveryglib]

...ah. I am glad to hear it.

[it's just been a bad. While.]

I may be able to explain more once I get a better handle on the situation, but there are too many uncertainties at the moment.

[discodancer]

[ He's lucky she's always been a sucker for a crumbling edifice. ]

You don't owe me anything.

[ She smiles, slight and sweet. ]

Except a light, when you find one.

I'll leave you to it, Shadowhunter.

[ This time, without irony. ]

[howveryglib]

Of course.

[His smiles are not particularly easy to detect, but they exist.]

Take care of yourself, then, Klaase. I am certain I will see you again soon.

[discodancer]

I always do. And you will.

[ Her smile widens at his, just a touch, and she turns on her heel to go hunting for sparks - but pauses at the doorway to look over her shoulder, and give him a little wave goodbye.

(She's well out of earshot when she laughs again, but she presses her fingers over her mouth anyway, just in case.) ]
