Welcome.

The last thing you remember hearing is static.

There were words in there, perhaps, quiet whispers like the rustling of leaves, like the crinkling of paper, like rust being scraped off a knife. The words aren't anything you'll remember, but they're there, and there are a lot of them washing over you, and it might be concerning if it weren't so warm where you're lying.

You wake feeling disoriented, like you've been asleep for a long time.

Of course, it's probably odd that you're waking up just now - perhaps you were in the middle of something important, perhaps you were waiting for something, or maybe you were just going about your day, but even before the whispering came you can clearly remember doing something back home. Can't you? Something else. Something that wasn't looking around the room you've found yourself in.

It's not your room, either. Not the one you're used to.

The room here is grey and white and tile; even if the bed is nice (and the bed is nice, it feels like it's been designed to cater just to you, maybe if you keep your eyes closed you can pretend it's a favor), the room itself is spartan and oppressing. The walls are cracked and the floors are in disrepair, but despite that there's not enough noise - it's silent, the quietness of it pressing in on you, and even if you can't see any cameras you get the distinct feeling that for good or ill, someone is watching over you as you get up.

That might be enough to make you move, to make you not want to stay there. But even if you stick around for a while to look around in there, the walls hold firm despite their decrepit state and the pervasive silence isn't going away - if anyone's in the rooms near you, you can't hear them. If you want answers, you're going to have to leave. Be sure you grab the key sitting on your desk on the way out.

Once you step out of the room into the hallway you'll most likely find yourself face-to-face with other confused people who feel as though they don't belong here either. Maybe you'll find something if you explore together; maybe it's safer in numbers.

Wherever you end up going - and there are several places to go - you might want to check the large room toward the center of the communal area of the building. A subdivided foyer is here; at first glance, it even seems to offer you a look at the outside. Of course, once you've gotten over that particular disappointment, you might want to check out the walls, where you'll find some very interesting information about yourselves hanging on the walls. There's some other framed information that you'll most likely want to get a look at as well, seeing as how it could be the key to escaping this place.

Although, speaking of keys... Despite your best efforts, you won't find any doors. The windows you find here and there are far more durable than they should be as well, and any attempts to break out won't work. It seems you're stuck here for the time being.

Maybe your fellow captives have some thoughts on all of this.

Welcome to Beacon General Hospital.

[ Oh, a LARPer, okay. ]

... That's pretty much what disliking shoes means.

[ a very dedicated one, if the armor and pointy ears are anything to go by. ]

It isn't—I'd wear shoes if I was required to, but I don't. [ nobody wants to tell the princess she has to wear shoes. ]

[ ... yeah, that scans for "LARPer" in her mind, since magic isn't real and all. ]

Doing something when someone's making you do it is called "fulfilling social obligations" or "other people being stupid," not liking it.

[ man wait until you unlock her tragic background ]

Well... [ there's a pause as she tries to think of a counter-argument, but nothing comes to mind ] ...I guess you're right. The only times I've worn shoes were when I was forced to.

No shame in disliking something. I dislike a lot of things.

[ That gets a small laugh out her, followed by a smile. ]

You're rather straightforward, aren't you. [ There's no sarcasm in her statement; just an amused, almost fond, tone. ]

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-04 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ew fondness. Pizzazz shrugs. ]

I leave the flowery stuff about feelings to the pop singers. ...And the songs about not having shoes on to Jimmy Buffett.

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Better get used to it if you hang around Princess Bleeding Heart. ]

Pop singers...? Is Jimmy Buffett a well-known minstrel...? [ if she's LARPing then she sure is committed to it. ]
arebetter: (13)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh, protagonists. Minstrel...? ]

More than he deserves, probably. But he does hate shoes like Garfield hates Mondays.

[ ... ]

Do you know what duct tape is?

[ She just, blinks confusedly and shakes her head. That would be a negative, Pizzazz. ]

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
So you're... all Medieval too, huh? Swords and spears and whatever?
torrentialroar: (♛ ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴛᴡᴏ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods slowly, feeling rather confused. ]

I'm not sure what "Medieval" is, but swords and spears do exist. [ is there a place where they don't??? ]
arebetter: (15)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have guns yet?
torrentialroar: (♛ ꜰᴏʀᴛʏ ꜰɪᴠᴇ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ That gets a blank stare. ]

Guns?
arebetter: (09)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Medieval. Fantasy novel stuff. What's your country called?
torrentialroar: (♛ ꜰᴏʀᴛʏ sᴇᴠᴇɴ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from the Kingdom of Nohr. [ and one of it's princess but ssh she's trying to be lowkey. ]
arebetter: (11)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Never heard of it. So there's a pretty big disconnect here.
torrentialroar: (♛ ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴛᴡᴏ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see... So then, where are you from?
arebetter: (15)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
America. Across the ocean from Europe, if that's where Nohr is.
torrentialroar: (♛ ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ sɪx)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ wait a moment ]

I've never heard of Europe before... [ Or America, but if it's across the ocean it must be far away. ]
arebetter: (09)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. So you're from some kind of... fantasy kingdom. Hence the ears?
torrentialroar: (♛ ᴇɪɢʜᴛᴇᴇɴ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose from your point of view, yes. [ a pause ] But my ears are... unique? [ it's weird to call her own ears unique but they are one of a kind as far as she knows. ]
arebetter: (04)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Are you an elf or something? A Gelfling?

[ Pizzazz stop your fantasy nerd is showing a little. ]
torrentialroar: (♛ ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ)

[personal profile] torrentialroar 2017-06-05 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not either of those! [ she feels vaguely insulted for some reason??? ] I have the blood of The Dawn Dragon flowing through my veins.

[ calm down corrin no need to be so dramatic ]
arebetter: (07)

[personal profile] arebetter 2017-06-05 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course. You're part dragon. And that... gave you elf ears.

[ You know what, by 80s fantasy movie standards that almost scans. ]

Half of you people make no sense.
