Xortberg Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Having made her stance known, Elizabeth's voice relaxed considerably. "Still doesn't sit well with me. This is completely crazy, all of it. I suppose checking to see if the key is there is a start, but we aren't opening the door until everyone is awake and aware of the situation." She looked at the rather tagtag group that had assembled around the lady who had first grabbed the note. "In the meantime, we should slow down and try to assess the situation. Learn as much about this as possible, and get to know each other a little bit. We're all clueless, so gathering any information about this all might help us figure out what's going on here."

Sarita Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sissiesque nodded her head in agreement with Elizabeth. "It's all just too strange," she said, speaking to the group for the first time, "I still find it hard to believe that we would be locked in here, the immediately given the key! I suppose it makes sense if they wanted us to stay together, but still... it's incredibly suspicious." She looked around the room, looking for the bed that contained the key. As soon as she spotted it, she went to it, checking under the mattress, not seeing the key there, before remembering that the note said it was under a pillow. As soon as she lifted the pillow, she saw they key, lifting it up and showing it to the room, "Well, at least the key is where the note said it would be."

Arashikage Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The human nodded, "Then should we get to know each other first?" He asked "I'm Arashikage, most people just call me Kage, I'm a mercenary for the Shadow Element, and I jump from space down to planets" He said, sure it was exciting what he did, but he didn't do it often, it was normally just sit around and await orders. He then turned to the bed and back to Elizabeth and Sissiesque, "So what're your names?" He asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarita Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 "I'm Sissiesque. Most people find it hard to pronounce, so you're welcome to call me Sissi. I don't have a job, I'm still in college," she said to Arashikage, now convinced she was probably the most boring person here. She looked over to Elizabeth curiously, asking, "And you?" before eying the rest of the group, curiously memorizing their features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 "I'm Elizabeth. Nothing too special, really. I was in the Marines for a good while, then I decided to leave that. Now I'm a nun." Elizabeth's answer was nonchalant; hopefully, she could avoid talking too much about her past. It bored her to do, and she was rather interested in learning as much as possible about her group. She directed the next question at the hyena girl who had approached the group earlier. "Sorry nobody got around to answering your question, but none of us really know what's going on either. Who are you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 "Anna." she replied, having spent the last several minutes just listening in. "So we're sure this isn't some sort of dream? How did we even get here?"She was met with silence."A-anyway, I'm actually unemployed, so... Nothing more to say about myself."She sat on an empty bed, pondering the circumstances. So apparently she and the rest of this group were needed, but for all intents and purposes Anna was pretty worthless. There were currently two people with military training just feet in front of her, so what could a civilian do? Well, maybe. That judgment was better left reserved until what was needed of them was clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Michael was now pacing back and forth while listening to everyone speak. He occasionally glanced at the quiet rabbit girl, pondering if he should say something to her or not. He finally decided to speak to her "So who are you, I don't think we've gotten your name yet" he said softly trying his best not to alarm her.

myu Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (Crap lol, I need to be more on top of this)Lenka side-glanced and then glared at the man who addressed her, leaning away from him, as well as the rest of the group. It was getting crowded quickly and the more people that woke up, the more agitated she was becoming. She couldn't bring herself to go out on a limb and trust the people that were apparently in the same situation as her - for all she knew, someone could be lying, and she wasn't willing to give out much information about herself to complete strangers. Still, she did answer his question, however hesitantly."Lenka," she said flatly, though with some edge to her voice. The way he'd asked her made her feel like she was being treated as a child. Her ears twitched, listening to all the chattering that was going on now. Everyone seemed friendly, perhaps too friendly. Lenka was starting to dread being in a group with these people, and was forming a plan that might allow her to slip away and get out of the hellhole they were trapped in.

Robert Monroe Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Jami folded the note up once she was done reading it, equally confused as anyone else around here, particularly because she can not even remember when she went to sleep at. Was this a kidnapping? Some sort of sedative or narcotic, maybe... but she can't tell. She walked over to her own bed and shook up the man who was resting alongside her earlier."Robert... sweetheart, wake up. Up up, right now", she said in a stern tone.Within a few seconds, the bearded man she addressed as Robert arose, looking around in confusion. "I'm up, I'm up, whats all.... the commotion...", he paused as he saw everyone else in the room rising up and introducing each other. "Where in the.... what is this place??"Jami narrowed her eyes as Robert climbed out of the bed. She handed him the note she had taken. "This was on the door. Noone else is any wiser as to how we got here, either...", she said back to him.Robert took the note and read it over a few times. He furrowed his brow with displeasure, looking at Jami. "Do you think it could have been drugs? Some kind of powerful sedative.... like benzodiazepine? Or maybe something less scientifically sound, and herbal... perhaps mandrake..."Jami shook her head in uncertainty. "I can't be sure... it's difficult to tell without the proper utilities...", she paused. "Wait. Check your pockets, do you still have any of your tools on you?? I don't recall you going to bed in your coat..."Robert nodded and instantly took to checking all of his pockets (which there are several of), to no such luck. Everything he kept on his person at all times was gone: his two handguns (one a revolver, the other a pistol), his computer widgets (for working on computer units and AI operated machines), his medical tools (among them a most potent laser-scapel, a blood tester, and a breathalyser), hell, he didn't even have a screwdriver on him. All jewelry was gone, too, he noticed upon finding his wedding band also missing, and further examination of Jami would show her bangles, necklaces and rings were gone as well. "... well isn't this a day in the doldrums...", he muttered to himself.Jami sighed and looked towards the large window that dominated the otherwise plain room. "Let's see if we can tell where we are... maybe recognize the landscape...", she said with a voice of forced hope. Robert nodded and walked over with her to gaze out and see what they could recognize, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Anna left the first small group and joined the Monroes at the window, having much the same idea that they did. Realizing trying to figure out where she was was pointless, she turned to the two humans. At first, she didn't say much, intimidated by the man's coat and beard. As soon as she was over that, though, she thought this guy looked just like the sort of person she'd want close in such a situation. She smiled sweetly, if a bit manipulatively, and stepped forward."Hello, you two. Who are you guys?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The couple both turned around and faced the hyena girl that had approached them. Pausing for a moment, they both replied. "My name is Robert Monroe", the gentleman said pleasantly, bowing slightly and then straightening back up before continuing his introduction. "Doctor of medicines and biology, and accomplished mechanical engineer... if I say so myself.", he chuckles as Jami takes her turn to introduce herself."Jami al'Salma Monroe", she says to the girl, putting a bit of possessive emphasis on the "Monroe" part, subtly making sure her point was made. "Humanitarian, and doctor of the arts", she says proudly, then continuing. "And who may we ask, are you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Her ear twitched slightly at Jami's defensive emphasis. "Just Anna. Anna Sommerset." she replied, having no occupation to slap at the end of the statement. "So what's going on here? Or do you not know?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Robert shrugged. "Your guess is as good as anyone's so far, Anna. We're trying to see if we can recognize the landscape... but even then who knows", he said before turning back to the window. Jami continued the answer, "We may suspect use of drugs... some potent sedative, or maybe perhaps natural herbs. We can't be sure, though to be honest I don't -feel- like I've been sedated. No real sensation of the side effects... yet at the same time, I don't even remember going to sleep, much less in my clothes... so what other explanation is there?", she sighed.Robert turned his head. "Well, it could possibly be a form of enforced lucid dreaming... if you know what that is, anyway. Basically, we could all be in a state of deep sleep, and this entire situation is something of a shared dream between us... but that creates even more questions. If this is such a situation, then where is our real selves? And furthermore, why? Some brazen psychological experiment, perhaps, but that doesn't exactly enlighten us. Furthermore, none of us know the other... so I am not sure what exactly would bring us all together. If it is an experiment on the mind, then us as patients would need some sort of key relationship that binds us all.""And if this is real, and not a dream, we still don't know what it is that binds us. Who brought us here, and why? Do we all possess some similar skill? Some key background experience? It is honestly hard to see what we all have in common... though a few of us here do seem to have some kind of military experience, at least at a glance", Jami piped in with a shake of her head.

Milkyway64 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Anna scratched her head, groaning in stress. The theory of enforced lucid dreaming troubled her the most, as since everyone here was unfamiliar to her, it raised questions on how these people were put into her mind, much less this communication. But it really couldn't have been a dream, everything felt real enough, and the pinch test passed earlier, so..."I really don't have a clue. Whose house is this, anyway? Where the hell are we?" She didn't exactly expect answers to those questions, and ended with a sigh. She stuck nearby these two, still intent on befriending the male especially.

Guest Mr. Mario Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 "So wait...we're here for a playdate with someone? Now that just's...a little wrong here." Harasaki said, then wondered about the key that was mentioned in the letter. They key...to get out of the room...hidden somewhere...'Well, ain't gonna be standing here and doing nothing. I'm gonna have to find the key and get out of where I'm at!' He thought, looking for the key in his bed...it was not found anywhere in the pillow or the blankets,.

Fluxy Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 A slightly deep, best categorized as masculine, voice spoke to Sissiesque through some weird way. If she knew of Telepathy, it at best would be categorized as that, but it still didn't seem right. Only she was the one to hear this."Take yourself, and the rest of the guests out of this room using the key, and to the dining hall. Best to have breakfast at the start of a day." It spoke to her. Then only moments later, she felt a sensation enter here. She still did not know of the layout of the mansion, but she felt innately the what turns were needed, and when to take them. Not to mention the distance no less as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myu Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lenka's ears began to twitch. Not from all the questions and how-do-you-dos being shot back and forth, but from frustration. Everyone was asking the same thing and it was starting to take its toll on her. She clenched and relaxed her jaw in an attempt to dissipate some of the idle anger. It wouldn't be prudent to lash out in this confined space. One deep breath later she turned to face everyone, trying to look as calm as possible."Yes, yes, I think we've established that none of us know anything about our current situation... At least that's what everyone claims." Her eyes darted around, looking for any change in expression that might make any liars give themselves away.

Fedora Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Raymond tried not to let the rat/rabbit's apparent frustration get to him. Being fidgety helped him much. "For now, we should get out of this room." he says in response. "If everyone's ready to go, we should get going." And keep an eye on the rabbit.

Not to mention the distance no less as well.Upon first hearing the voice, Sissiesque wasn't sure what to think. One thing she knew for sure, was that if she was hearing voices, she must've finally snapped and gone crazy. She wondered how much murder she could get away with now.Despite the long years of people advising her not to listen to voices in her head, Sissiesque walked to the door, and unlocked it, "I'm sorry about not unlocking the door sooner... I thought I heard something. Let's go eat breakfast, I could go for some waffles," she said, leading the way, thanks to her newly obtained sense of where she was going.

Robert Monroe Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Robert blinked. "Breakfast? Who even knows where the kitchen is in this place... and if the people who own it won't mind us using it.""Regardless, dear, I think we would all feel better if we got out of this room, at least", Jami said back to him, patting his shoulder.Robert sighed and shrugged. "This is true. At any rate, though, I want my stuff back", he said with a frown as they both walked to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Michael scanned the room again and noticed somebody was still asleep. "What should we do with her" he said pointing towards the cat girl.He spoke again "I'd wake her, but given the circumstances I don't think thats such a good idea. If worse comes to worse, I'll stay behind til she wakes up and fill her in on the situation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
