After School Detention ([personal profile] detentionroom) wrote2025-07-15 01:32 pm

[KIN'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]

[Definitely not plugging his ears!]

Much like the fae of English folklore; I discussed this with- [Er.] -the tiefling earlier.

[That sounds rude. But he has no name to use!!!]

Hypothetically.

So...hypothetically, if we do give an alias, it shouldn't have anything that can even hint at our real names.

As we're plying caution already, I see no harm in utilizing even more of it.

[Even if this is. Definitely outside of his proper experiences. Even if so much of his mind still rails against how any of this can be possible, though he keeps it reined in.]

I plan on choosing something completely unrelated, regardless. This changes nothing for me.

[She looks unsure what she should pick, but...]

...whatever. It doesn't matter what I'm called, since I'm leaving as soon as we get out of here. You can call me whatever you want.

Are you certain you want this group to make the choice for you?

[...I mean, look at them.]

[ he makes somewhat of a pout and then knees down to...untie his shoes! so he can tie them again which-

-he is in fact able to do. but it definitely takes him longer than he should, but hey he didn't say he was the fastest at it, did he? ]
