Trustfell 5: A Good Day to Trust Fall ([personal profile] trustfellowship) wrote in [community profile] trustfelled2017-06-03 11:59 pm

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, honey.]

...No, actually, that's one of the less bizarre things on my profile.
gymasstics: (022)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-04 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well, that's, uh-]

You look really good for three hundred, sir.

[Yeah.]
ossifragant: (Ò but they won't grow)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-04 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles at that.]

There's a reason for that: I don't age.
gymasstics: (043)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-05 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...Whoa.]

I didn't think medicine unlocked the secret to eternal life yet!

[Technology is amazing]
ossifragant: (Ò do thou spare him)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-05 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed quickly shakes his head.]

I'm not human. It has nothing to do with medicine, it's just what I am.
gymasstics: (021)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-05 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
...Excuse me?

[...? ...???]

If you're not human, then what are you?
ossifragant: (⊗ you have lots on your mind)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-05 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a homunculus. An artificial person.
gymasstics: (003)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-06 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Homunculus... She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

...Nope, never heard of it.
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[.....]

Ahh, don't worry about it. It just means I'm long-lived, and don't age.
gymasstics: (041)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-06 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well, that's good enough for her.]

What kind of things have you seen in three hundred years? Does technology confuse you, or do you roll with it with your ageless youthfulness?
ossifragant: (Ô got hurt a long time ago)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, I.... haven't been able to see a lot of the technological developments.

This place's kitchen looks hundreds of years ahead of what I'm familiar with, but I can't say I confused so much as I'm at a loss.

I'll have to ask how to use things most people probably take for granted.
gymasstics: (023)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-06 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well today's your lucky day!

[...Nothing about being in this old hospital is lucky-]

I happen to know my way around a kitchen, so if you need to know how anything works, just let me know!
ossifragant: (Ô got hurt a long time ago)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-06 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[........well]

If you happen to know some of the mechanics behind some of them, sure. That's what I'm interested in them.
gymasstics: (045)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-07 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Which ones do you want to know about?

[...This is important, clearly-]
ossifragant: (Ò do thou spare him)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh.... how about the microwave?
gymasstics: (023)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-07 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
The microwave! A true luxury of the rich and short of time!

[It's not that much of a luxury, but. She's poor as balls.]

Simply put in something you'd like to cook, set a time, and hit start! But be warned, it cooks things much faster than a stove.
ossifragant: (Ö i fall for you)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-08 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[His head tips. That wasn't quite what he meant, but hey.]

Sounds pretty convenient.
gymasstics: (057)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-08 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
It is! But you'll have to see the best part for yourself.

[With that, she starts straying on over to the kitchen. You hungry, Greed?]
ossifragant: (Ô i can't make myself heard)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-08 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Actually, no, but that's never stopped him from eating before. So he'll follow her!]

Now you've got me curious.
gymasstics: (023)

[personal profile] gymasstics 2017-06-09 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She strolls on over to the kitchen, and right to the microwave- but not before picking up some popcorn.]

Behold! The height of convenience. Popcorn is a pain to make and can make a real mess, but a microwave gets the job done in minutes!

[She dramatically throws it in, then makes sure to show him how to actually put a time onto the damn thing and get it going.]

The trick to this one is two seconds. After the big rush, if you can count to two without hearing a pop, it's done.

[...And now they wait for, you know. The popping to begin.]
ossifragant: (θ where will you run)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2017-06-09 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Has she ever seen a 30-something looking man get REALLY EXCITED over popcorn before?

Because Greed is watching the microwave make a lot of popping sounds like this is the coolest thing he has ever seen.]


Wow, this is amazing!
