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.]

Oh. Oh! The same place as Mister Prompto. ...Or, not the SAME same place, he was very insistent on that. But the same, um, planet, I guess?

[keepmeinyourheart]

Yes. Prompto is from Eos. [Wait] He said from the same place? Prompto hails from Lucis.

[in4apounding]

No no no! His profile said something about being from Niflheim, but he said he wasn't. He seemed pretty upset about it, actually.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[..... the profiles don't seem to lie, but that doesn't make sense...] Then it might be a error. I am sure he is a citizen of Lucis, and he resides in the city of Insomnia.

[in4apounding]

Yes, he told me.

[He really was pretty adamant about it.]

...There was another girl, Manaka? Some of the things on her profile weren't true, but she thought they might be in the future? Do you think it might be something like that?

[keepmeinyourheart]

I do not know. I cannot see the future, and I do not know how our captors would either. Though... [She looks a little unsure.] Prompto was under the impression that I had died, or so I've gleaned from our conversation.

[in4apounding]

Oh no, that's terrible! ...You definitely LOOK alive.

[Ha, dead people coming back. Ridiculous, right.]

[She is, however, giving Luna a tiny poke on the shoulder, just to confirm she's solid.]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She is a little taken aback by the sudden contact, but can't fault Penny. The girl was only curious.]

I feel very much alive.

[in4apounding]

[Look if you've got a better way to check that someone's not a ghost, she would love to hear it.]

Did he say what happened? ...is it because of the war?

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Not really...]

He... Told me enough.

[in4apounding]

I'm so sorry.

[She kinda wants to ask for details. But even someone with her lack of social graces is picking up that it's probably a no-go area.]

But. I'm glad you're okay. And there's someone you know here.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[No-go for now. She may talk more in the future, with a few social link level ups.]

I thank you for your concern... Even if Prompto were not here, with how kind everyone has been, I believe I would be alright.

[in4apounding]

Everyone here HAS been very kind, haven't they?

[That gets a small smile, but she thinks for a second-]

...Except Yuri, he was VERY upset and more than a little rude.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[PENNY...]

Rude? He has been anything but rude to me. He was quite pleasant when his temper calmed down.
