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.]

[He sounds a little doubtful though - the pessimism of knowing the universe would never deign to give him a cool or useful power when he could be given a joke that makes him feel bad about himself.]
Let's put a pause on the crab thing. See, here's the thing - where I'm from, earth doesn't exactly exist anymore? Uh, I mean, there's a spare, but it's empty. So it's one thing that I was brought here, and a whole other thing that there even is a here.

Earth...exists where I'm from? Since...I'm from Earth.
[ Not that he doesn't believe Karkat because 1) he's a good child and 2) he's a pessimist but he's not, like, paranoid...except about public speaking...and what people think of him... ]
I don't actually know what's going on.

[Though that doesn't make sense either -- the earth is gone in every timeline but theirs. But he isn't going to try to understand it. There are others who understand much better than he does.]
No kidding, dude. If you knew what was going on but you were asking me questions about my exoskeleton I'd flip my shit right through the ceiling.

[ HABIT...but he's looking around uncertainly. ]
That voice...I wonder who it was.
