[KAI-UN]
[You needed an escape.
For a moment– however brief, or however not– you longed to get away. Perhaps you envisioned a vacation upon sunny, beachy shores, palm trees at your back and seagulls floating in the air. Perhaps you envisioned nothing at all, and merely accepted that anywhere but here would do. Either way. . .?
You blink. . . and you wake up slouched on a school desk, arms folded with head resting between. You lift your gaze and realize that you've woken up in the middle of a classroom, seated in one of the. . . uh, very few functional desks that remain. The others have been broken into pieces, with legs and splinters of wood scattered across the floor. Deep claw marks decorate the walls, having gouged the sheetrock with jagged, violent gashes. The window curtains are closed, but they too have been torn and ripped to shreds, with holes showing a dark and unidentifiable landscape beyond the four walls which trap you.
And written on the blackboard, in large, white letters that seem to glow in the midst of the dim room lighting, is a warning]
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME.
[. . . you are not alone]
[Each and every new arrival awakens dressed in a high school-issued track uniform. The design is up to the players, but each uniform is already color-coded to match the group at large. Somewhere on your body is a new marking: a mysterious floral design shaded the same color as your track uniform. It is glowing very gently. And in your pocket you feel. . . something warm. Further investigation reveals a tiny little omamri, tucked away in your outfit, for safe keeping. Huh! What a nice gift!]
[For now, the front door to the classroom is locked. No matter how hard you try– with physical prowess or otherwise– the door cannot be opened.]
[But hey! You can poke around the area, if you'd like! Maybe get to know your new classmates. . . ? Try not to panic. For now, everything is. . . calm]

Anyway I dunno. Stabbed, probably.

You don't remember? Surely death would be a little more memorable.

[ beleaguered SIGH ]
For what it's worth, I'm not dead. So the odds we're in hell are low, though not impossible.
no subject
Right? I need both of these to fight with! I'm not like — [a beat] — Cygnus. Shit, you won't know him...
[Hamn is getting up, giant tree that he is]
... so what the fuck is this shit? Books say anythin'?
no subject
Oh, that? Nothing particularly illuminating. A little story of bad luck, which may be while we're all here.
no subject
Shit. Not even a hint about what the fuck, huh? Damn. All we got is what not to do.
no subject
[ ...yet??? Why did he have to trail off like that. ]
no subject
Doesn't give us a whole hell of a lot ...
no subject
no subject
Why would we need to take note of our shit luck, dude? We all know it.
no subject
Speak for yourself. I'm what you might call...prodigiously lucky.
no subject
[He's laughing but also gently, sympathetically clapping a dhoulder]
Sucks, dude. Lucky dude.

[ That should do, if he ought to avoid his name, even if "Aventurine" is already an alias. ]
no subject
no subject
And what should I call you?
no subject
Haven't thought about it.
[He lied, convincingly.]
no subject
[ lol, lmao even ]
no subject
Ah shit, I guess. Could just go by some title I guess. Magus or somethin'. Like that, dude?
no subject
[ Does that make him some sort of magic user, then? ]
