Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

Um. Don't you think that anyone who could kidnap this many people is probably, like. Armed? And definitely not just one person?

[le_mat]

It's fine. I've been told I have a bad habit of ninja-ing.

Cafeteria

[He's mostly here to check out the cafeteria but Karamatsu is kind of blocking the way and Slaine is too polite to step around him so. Here he is, standing around as the other man checks out the PIP. With how fixed in place Karamatsu is, it's mildly worrying?]

...Is something the matter?

[le_mat]

Bullshit is right. Do they really expect us to just start attacking each other with no proof that'll even work?

[le_mat]

I accept your challenge, then.

[lmafo]

Whoah, your gods are hardcore.

[lmafo]

Ex-dee, okay.

[ She raises her hands. ]

Nah, nah, I don't do emoticons. You're safe.

[le_mat]

... you feel it too.

There's a lot wrong here. Even if these were right, a lot of it's information strangers couldn't know. This place is like something out of a story, it's impossible. A lot of us were taken from places where there's no way a kidnapper could get away with it.

It's wrong.

[photoshooter]

Well, mostly they're asleep and don't really socialize, but my best bud's duty is to go around meeting them all and asking for their help so he can get the Crystal back from the Empire and take back the throne.

[lmafo]

That sounds like some kinda jrpg thing, not gonna lie. Cool, though.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

A really fucking bored one I guess. Eh. At least ya can say that you've legitimately been to space now.

[So uh, yay?]

.......... I'm pretty damn sure a line is forming at this point, but I'll make sure ya at least get the chance to kick the fuck behind this when we find 'em.

[batfortheprincess]

[Oh. Hm. Honestly if Prompto had sounded more certain about his answer it might have been more suspicious but this...]

Then... I believe we are in the same position right now. [He lets out a breath and peeks out from the doorframe again, although it's far less wary compared to last time.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Real 100% genuine zombie right here in the flesh~!, never been in a grave though. It's probably hella boring though.

So ya do puppets Margatroid-chan?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ya want the long complicated sciencey answer or a short one?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Prooooobly. I mean, they're dumb enough to waste all that money bring us to outer space when any abandoned house in the middle of nowhere would probably do just as well. It seems pretty stupid to bring me here though. You can't kill what's already fucking dead.

[Less you take an sledgehammer to her brain until it's nothing left or something.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Prrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooobly not?]

..... At least it's fucking outer space. I mean, damn, I never saw myself being in space at all.

[hellahighwater]

...Okay, so I'd need to take turns knocking their teeth, plural, in?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Should I be concerned that someone young as you's died before? I think I should be hella concerned.

[Like... you're just like 16-ish looking???]

What are you Solid Snake or someshit? Please tell me you use cardboard boxes when doing things stealthways.

[hellahighwater]

I almost killed you right there. You almost died.

[ She says, completely deadpan, having not moved one inch. ]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

This not an new situation then? Rich psychopaths kidnapping ya?

[That's rather concerning.]

[lovecolored]

Uhuhuhuhu. Yer gonna regret sayin' that, pretty boy.

[ in essence, he has just invited her to waltz into his room and look at his stuff. there might not be anything good there on day one BUT THERE WILL EVENTUALLY, AND WHEN THERE IS, SHE'S GONNA (TRY TO) STICK HER NOSE RIGHT IN IT ]

I never lose.

[ except that one time in Imperishable Night but let's not talk about it ]

[le_mat]

[His eyes widen]

Already fucking dead?!

[True, there was the scaring and teeth and... everything. But his thoughts had gone more towards horrible physical trauma that he shouldn't stare at, not undead]

[lovecolored]

I dunno about that...maybe no one else cares? [ she shrugs ] I cut my hair on the regular, I think I just noticed because the braid is missin'. It's usually right there in my face.

[ motioning vaguely to the left side of her face ]

Anyway. Notice anythin' else weird you don't remember happenin'?

[le_mat]

[He grins, pure deviousness and cockiness, tugging at the sleeve of his jumpsuit since his gloves were missing]

Neither do I.

[lovecolored]

All day. Every day. I practically never leave my cottage. And when I do, it's to buy shady potions from alien doctors.

[ somewhere out in the multiverse, alice sneezes. ]

Woah, neat. I've heard about 'em before but I don't think I've ever met one in person...
