Welcome to the Program

[Each Champion is awoken by an alarm ringing from a machine attached to their non-dominant arm. Whatever they were doing, whatever state they were in, they're in a bed now, in good health. And maybe a bit different since the last time they looked in a mirror.

There's a text note on the device attached to their arms.]

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

[Your surroundings look like your normal everyday space mall. But if you look at the functions of the device on your arm, there's Not-so-familiar profiles, some rules, and a mini-map that'll show you the layout of the mall.

You are free to explore at your leisure...For an hour, at least.]

So you're some kind of adventurer, then?

[daughterofthemark]

Not generally. But yes, recently I've been exploring with Guild Starlight.

Wow... I have to wonder what all this means. No one's been saying anything that matches up to the facts I know, or with anyone else, either.

[daughterofthemark]

Does it seem possible that we could all simply have been mistaken?

[ratherdoweddings]

Not really likely, I don't think. Still, at this point, we should keep all possibilities in mind.
