[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]

[ He grins and shrugs. ]

It's a nice name. I like it how it sounds.

[Hm.]

Fair enough. At least you have decided.

Yeah, so that's one thing down. Still leaves a whole lotta other things to think about.

Such as…?

[Yes, plenty. But he wishes to hear what is going through his mind now.]

Off the top of my head..... Where are we? How did we get here? Why are we here? Who brought us here? Why are we being warned not to give our names? This is just one room-- are there other rooms? Are there other people in a similar situation? How do we get out of here?

All very valid questions to be asking. However, I think this is the part where we ply patience — after we reply to that voice addressed us, we may be presented with more answers.

[…and more questions, he suspects.]

Oh yeah-- I definitely think we aren't getting those questions answered easily, or all at once. It's gonna take some time and probably require us to keep our wits about. If we can't manage that, who knows what kind of shit might hit the fan?
