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.]

I couldn't agree more. Forgive me if I'm being too presumptuous, but...was there a reason you asked if there were sixteen of us here?
no subject
[She hadn't realized she was slipping until Mirio asked that. Should she talk about it?
...
...no, she shouldn't, she concludes. She doesn't want to alarm Mirio, she has no reason to believe the current situation is anything similar to the killing game she went through not long ago. It's already starting to seem likely this has nothing to do with Monokuma, after all. They may be a tad safer. Somehow.
Still, she can't just say nothing]
...this isn't the first time I have been brought somewhere against my will. I'm sorry, I cannot give more details right now.
no subject
[Mirio's expression turns immediately sympathetic.]
I'm very sorry that happened to you. It's something someone should have to go through at all, much less more than once.
no subject
Please do not apologize. Some would even say it's 'the hazards of the job'
[Being a princess kind of makes you a high-profile person, although her status as a princess didn't really have anything to do with it]
no subject
[To warrant being kidnapped, he means.]
no subject
[Which makes her stay here even more frustrating]
