ORIENTATION

[When you start to stir from your slumber, you awaken to the smell of dust and rotted wood. Your bed is far from comfortable -- lumps in the mattress, a tattered blanket that barely keeps you warm and a pillow almost as hard as a rock-- and you'll immediately see there are others in your room with you.

All of you are confused, surely. "Where am I?" "What place is this?" Questions like that stir through your mind while you take in your surroundings. Something might catch your eye before anything else, though. A coloured chest tied with a bow, a large gift tag is attached to it with your name on it. There's one for everyone in each dorm, and if you open it you'll find:

An old, worn school uniform.
A colourful costume.
And a pamphlet with information about you, about your stay in this Academy, and a map of the layout of the school and the training grounds outside. The descriptions are vague, leaving out important details about your new super powers called "Quirks", a bland description about how you were selected to join the Academy called "VA" (no explanation what it means), and even the map has lame descriptions of locations that don't really give you a good idea of where you're staying.

Before you can start exploring, or chatting away with your neighbors, a voice rings over old intercoms. It sounds low and comforting, like a long lost friend. But there's something about that that feels.. unsettling. A feeling in your gut that this voice was anything but friendly.

"Welcome, students. You must be very confused, but I assure you I'll be able to answer all the questions you have in just a few minutes.

For now, relax, explore, and meet your new classmates who will be staying with you during this semester.

Oh, but..... whatever you do, don't enter the dining room."

The intercom cuts off, leaving you with a cryptic message to think about on top of.. everything else you're dealing with right now.]

Trouble always comes in threes. By my guess, we have the voice over the intercom, his boss, and a third person. Possibly a janitor or groundskeeper, who keeps the day-to-day tasks running.

Or maybe a spy.

[...you know, he's got a point.]

I'm pretty sure this place doesn't have a janitor.

[Just saying.]

Maybe a medic, though? Or an aide of some sort.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
That could be too. Just a general 'staff member' of some sort.
ninehilist: (Huh...)

[personal profile] ninehilist 2019-09-17 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Weird how we haven't seen anyone like that, though. Everyone I've run into is just as confused as I am and I don't think they're lying.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
That is why a spy might be likely too. Someone hiding among us, pretending to be confused.

[Hm.]

And I can't hack to figure out who it might be. Dammit.
notbymyside: (20)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
The unfortunately low-tech situation we are in would prevent hacking anyway.

It's not even that. Assuming they're regular android, if my programs were working I could do it no problem. But they're not.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
So you got another power too.

[Just like everyone else.]
ninehilist: (Headache)

[personal profile] ninehilist 2019-09-17 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if that pamphlet's to be believed.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
What does it say yours is?
ninehilist: (Stunned)

[personal profile] ninehilist 2019-09-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hallucinate. I can apparently...make people hallucinate if I touch them.
notbymyside: (08)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
...and I presume you haven't tried it yet?
ninehilist: (Listening)

[personal profile] ninehilist 2019-09-17 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
No? I'm not going to just touch random people to see if I can make them see things.
notbymyside: (18)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-17 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
It you want to test it, I would allow you to touch me for it. But I do request that you keep the hallucination brief.
ninehilist: (Listening)

[personal profile] ninehilist 2019-09-17 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
You sure? I don't know how long it'll last or what you'll see. Could be nasty.
notbymyside: (12)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2019-09-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[...hm.]

Perhaps later then, once we all regroup and find out more information about this place.
