the mock mingle
[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.
It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.
As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.
The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.
Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.
When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.
Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

gay dudes need wingmen tooBarney shrugs. ]Nope. It's all fake. [ He waves a hand over the other side of the booth. Join him, nameless dude. Join him and enjoy a nice sip of holo beer. ] Feels better than nothing, though.
no subject
they really do nero is just a messBut over he comes, and sits down. ] And here I thought whoever extended this invitation would be more advanced then falsities. A pity, that.
[ hes still gonna steal the tech if he can ]
no subject
[ He even runs a hand over his fake suit, giving it a forlorn look as the fabric goes through his fingers. ]
I can think of a few other uses for this kind of tech. But I kinda just wanted a place to think for now.
[ Hence, a bar? ]
no subject
[ that is a look saying he needs to know but he is not going to just ask. Nero never needs help huff huff. ]
...Are you another who's unfamiliar with... this? [ a pause, before: ] Nero tol Scaeva.
no subject
[ Maybe Barney will just hang out in here and pretend he has his suits forever. That would be okay. ]
Sup, Nero. [ Barney doesn't recognize his name from anything, but he's dealt with rougher dudes at work so he's not like, averse to Nero's particular brand of gruff. ] Unfamiliar with what, dude? The weird murder space station?
no subject
It looks much better on him. And he also seems much more relaxed. ] That, yes. Who'd think space could be so easily breached for the amusement of... captors?
...Not that I desire escape yet.
no subject
Clothes make the man, you know? ]
Yeah, people don't usually get kidnapped into space where I'm from. There's usually like, a millionaire waitlist and all these forms you have to sign, it's a huge process.
[ Beat. ]
Not that I've... looked it up or anything. But "Benefactors" and "Overseers" sounds like something from a weird video game. I'm kind of hoping we're just in some new kind of escape room that happens to also pull video game characters or something, otherwise that Sonic the Hedgehog guy doesn't make any sense.
[ Uh, yeah. That makes sense, right? ]
no subject
[ yes he actually has a bit of trauma from dalamud tyvm
His gaze seems to tighten, as he is looking into his holo-booze. ] What are video games.
no subject
[ GJ NERO ]
You know, Nintendo, Playstation, that kind of thing? They're games people play on their TVs for fun. Like Mario Kart or Final Fantasy.
[ I had to. ]
