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.]

It wasn't so bad. I've been way worse places.

[Shrugging. In a way, he kind of misses the rock. It was nice.]

There's nothing obviously terrible at this place, but everything screams sinister. You know?

Hm, when you put it like that...

[ Campanella supposed it'd also probably be easier to keep a place that wasn't as large as this clean. ]

I think I can get it. Especially since it does feel like we've been brought into a potentially dangerous situation. "Well played!" I'd even say regarding captor if I thought they'd deserved it.

[personal profile] bloodpressured 2019-09-18 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm not quite at "well played" yet. More, "fucking why" and "no thank you." Also, I'm not sure I'm ready to concede this was a well executed master plan. If this dude just has the power to pull people out of their universes and give them fucked up powers, then sure, I'll give that to them. But I refuse to concede that I should have been expecting this to happen and on my guard. I was fucking unconscious in a cave, so great effort.

Hehe, I figured they just got lucky and caught us unaware, but that really takes the cake!

...Oh, and since we're going to be stuck in this together for probably some time, how about some introductions?

[ He'll do a little bow, as is custom for him. ]

My name is Campanella, the Fool. Though, I'm no court jester, really.
bloodpressured: (that i keep on closing)

[personal profile] bloodpressured 2019-09-19 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, hey, what? You want me to call you 'the Fool'? You realize when you're making introductions you don't have to share your insulting nickname?
lacampanella: (He rules again)

[personal profile] lacampanella 2019-09-19 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs a little at that. ]

I don't mind. After all, it'd be strange for me to not do my introduction properly.

...But, if you want, you could pretend that I didn't say my title at all or simply address me just by my name.

It's not my comfort I'm concerned about! You shouldn't tell people to call you the Fool! It's like if I started telling everyone I'm Karkat, Guy Who Needs to Shut His Constantly Overtaxed Trap Because No One Gives a Shit or Is Even Listening. You don't have to lead with your flaws! Let me discover what a dumbshit fool you are on my own, and come up with my own devastating nicknames for you.

[Somehow taking this very personally?]
