[Each inmate wakes up in a cell, with no memory of arriving there or of putting on the full body orange jumpsuit. There is a moderately chunky tablet wired into one of their arms, with dials on the side to flick through the different menus, including a limited note-taking function and a map

None of them are alone in their cells, either.

Whether they choose to leave their cell and explore or just stay and get to know their new roommate, it becomes clear that this place isn't anything like any of them have ever seen. For some, it's devoid of anything even remotely familiar. The door labeled Counselor's office is locked. The Counselor's office and the kitchen and mess hall all have placards stating hours when they're closed - or in the former's case, when "private office hours" will be held.

However they while away the next couple of hours, it seems like they're mostly alone on the ship. For a while, anyway.]

[Hello, wandering man, meet other wandering man in the hallways. Oda acknowledges Noctis with a nod.]

Did you also wake up just now?

[nightcure]

Yep. Don't suppose you know what's going on?

[tenimuho]

Not anymore than anyone else here does.

[So, not really.]

[nightcure]

Right. Helpful.

[ Is he talking to Oda, or just in general? It is a mystery. ]

I wonder if there are any fun secret places that have all the answers.

[tenimuho]

[Even if he is talking to Oda, Oda doesn't take it personally.]

I haven't found any yet, but if I had, they wouldn't be very secret.

[...also he's replying to that entirely seriously.]

[nightcure]

So I can count on you to start screaming if you find something useful. Got it.

[tenimuho]

No, I wouldn't be screaming. I would probably put up a sign and then tell as many people as I could easily find.

[He meant that if they were easy to find in a half hour, they wouldn't be secret.]

[nightcure]

Makes sense. Still worth a look... probably.

[tenimuho]

I'll check the rooms I already went over. It's easy to miss things on the first sweep.

[nightcure]

Knock yourself out.

[ Don't be lazy, Noctis. ]

Kinda hungry now, though. Do you think this place has any food?

[tenimuho]

It has a kitchen. The food isn't very good quality, but it'll fill your stomach.

[It's easier to investigate on a full stomach, probably...?]

[nightcure]

Huh. Man, if Specs were here, he'd be able to whip up something amazing, even with crappy ingredients.

[tenimuho]

We'll make do until we can get something better. ...There's not much of a spice cabinet, spices would help.

[No curry powder.]

[nightcure]

Seriously? What kind of kitchen doesn't have decent spices?

[ Ignis would be appalled. ]

[tenimuho]

Prison kitchens aren't known for having much beyond the essentials. I'm not that surprised.

[nightcure]

Wouldn't know. I've never been in prison.

[ He's also been spoiled with delicious meals his whole life, so. ]

[tenimuho]

I've been in a few. But none before this one that let prisoners walk around freely. That's stranger than the kitchen.

[nightcure]

Yeah, most prisons don't let their inmates just walk in and out of their cells, right? Bizarre.

[ He seems to be taking the fact that this guy is a criminal really well. ]

[tenimuho]

[Thanks, Noctis, he appreciates it.]

I don't think a prison that had that policy would last very long.

[nightcure]

Still not exactly sure why I'm in prison, anyway.

[tenimuho]

I don't know if chocobo endangerment is an imprisonable offense.

[Mostly because he doesn't know what a chocobo is.]

[nightcure]

It should be, but I've never done that.

[tenimuho]

Can you explain to me what a chocobo is?

[nightcure]

It's a giant bird. Most of them are yellow, but they come in all sorts of colors.

[ Except for black. ]

You can ride them around. They're pretty great.

[tenimuho]

In that case, it should be something you'd be thrown in prison for, at least temporarily.

[He really wants to see one for himself now...]

But you don't remember doing that, so that's not it.
