COMMENCE EXPERIMENT
Fun fact: Did you know that the Pacific Ocean has a surface area of 62.46 million miles? That's not even accounting for depth.
You awaken to a sharp jolt, like you've just hit the drop on a roller coaster. Then it passes, and you're in a bed, suddenly very clearly awake. Is that right? Were you asleep? Your memory is a little fuzzy as you come down off the adrenaline, but it puts itself into place soon enough. This is not, as one might say, your beautiful house. If you have a beautiful wife, she sure isn't here.
The positioning of the bed inside your new room gives you a very clear indication of where you are - or at least, where the building is. Above you is a decent-sized window looking out on... well, the ocean. But not in a fun beachside resort way, to say the least. Fish swim by pretty frequently, here to keep you company - but they cannot hear your screams, and do not seem particularly bothered if you tap on the glass unless they're right by it. It's thick, man.
On the bedside table, you'll find two things: a key card with a number between 1 and 25 on it (no points for guessing which one is on whose, unfortunately), and a small handheld device, a little like a smartphone but mostly like a blackberry? Remember those? Anyway, accessing it will reveal only a scarce few functions: a list of profiles, a map of the building, and a very ominous set of rules. You might try to ignore that last one! Unfortunately, you'll find them in a frame by your door. And in a frame somewhere in every room of the place, if you go out exploring at all. The tablet also has a message for you when you open it:
Greetings. Please take an hour to become accustomed to the facilities, then proceed to the meeting room north of your dormitories. Attendance is mandatory. - The Professor
But hey, it... it also lets you play Snake! Who doesn't love Snake, huh?
Anyway, head out into the halls! Make some new friends - or maybe enemies, wouldn't that be exciting? Look around a little! Just make sure to be back for whatever this meeting is - after all, you want a chance to face off with your captor, right?

[Or at least that's her guess]

[Alice tilts her head, curious.]
Are you a psychoanalyst?
no subject
[She just does it...not very often, because she is prone to dramatics and outlandish thoughts as soon as it involves her.]
no subject
no subject
[Fat chance]
no subject
[She holds her hand out for a shake, and Shelley might notice that her skin is quite cool.]
I'm Alice.
no subject
...
Goodness, what an enigma! She's so going to try to solve this one before the week ends, she decides]
Shelley Winters, it's a pleasure.
no subject
Pleasure's all mine, Shelley. If you come up with anything...I'd really like to hear it.
no subject
[...although...]
...but it'll be better to wait until that Professor guy says something. I dunno what he's trying to do, we should find out first.
[There's a couple hints in the rules and the such, but hey! Better not...think of the worst case scenario!]
