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 trawled through our records on Earth and humanity a hundred times and never came across anything named Grimm.

You've... What? What is "Earth?"

[Why would anyone name their planet after dirt?]

Everyone on Remnant should know what the Grimm are.

The planet? Where's Remnant? Is that in the Kingdom of Night or something?

[There is literally so much confusion here that it should be visible in the air between them.]

Remnant is the planet. [If she sounds exasperated, it's because she's tired and probably sporting some bruises from a fight. Just let her breathe.] There's something wrong here... Either one of us is lying, or something is very wrong.

Yeah. I'm guessing it's the latter, because everyone else I've talked to so far is just as confused, even if they are from Earth.

It's odd, the way you talk about it... this Earth like a whole world.

It's an entire planet.
tokencanadian: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2019-09-18 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah.]

It's an entire... but Remnant is the planet.

[The next part comes out quiet, with no breath.]

Unless this isn't Remnant.
