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.]

[ She knows in theory what a skyscraper is, but like. No matter what, those don''t seem ideal. ]
I don't know, usually it opens the way to the next place i have to go.
no subject
[It could be rhetorical, but the question weighs a little heavier given the state of literally everything around them. All of this is as unfamiliar as it is familiar -- there's a surreal quality to all of it. Apart from the people, of course.]
I don't think any of us plan to stay. But you're talking about something else.

[ Skye rubs at her temples. ]
Look, I'm just trying to figure out how different this is from where I come from. Signs so far point to "very," but you know, this could still all be just a... really weird level? From the video game. Where I live.
no subject
There's the single longest stare to date before she addresses the easier part of this equation.]
This isn't completely different from where I come from.
[...]
I don't come from a video game.
