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?

[She nods, silently agreeing.]
Yes. This is a strange situation... I cannot imagine many of us are used to such things.
no subject
Waking up suddenly underwater, in a strange facility, with so many strangers... no, it's a very unique situation. But all the same... it's nice to meet you.

[ She just spent a while teaching Therion about phones, but it's fine. Speaking of-- She'll pull out her phone. ]
Are you familiar with this sort of device?
no subject
[She pauses then shakes her head.]
No, I cannot say I am but I did manage to get it to work to some degree. Those profiles are... invasive.
no subject
[ A pause, as she lets out a sigh. ]
I haven't looked at them too hard... aside from my own. If someone would rather not reveal certain things, I don't think I have the right to pry, even if the information is there.
no subject
[She got this.]
As for mine, well. Other than my age there is nothing I would not divulge given time. [A beat.] It is simply rude to ask an older woman what her age is, that is all.
no subject
[ Huh. She hadn't even thought that there could be people who know each other here, but..... ]
Well... I certainly won't ask. There's enough to worry about here, after all, like those rules.
no subject
[Sorry, she didn't mean to make him seem less important.]
Thank you. Those rules are even more troublesome, yes.
no subject
... It must be equally a relief and troubling to have him here with you, then.

... Sisters tend to do that, yes. I hope he can return to her before too long.
no subject
As do I... I miss her already, as well.
no subject
You're close to her too, then?
no subject
[She deserves everything.]

[ She smiles, though... it's a little sad. ]

[ She smiles lightly. ]
Have you been the victim of that mischievous streak?
no subject
[She smiles back.]
Mm... perhaps. She convinced Seteth and I to hold a fishing tournament. Flayn has quite a fondness for fish.
