mockweekGood morning, Participants. The time is now 7:30 AM.
[Where were you before this? Doesn’t matter, you’re here now, in an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by unfamiliar people, with a slightly-too-cheerful automated voiced chiming over a PA system to wake you up. Your pockets are empty, save for an unfamiliar smartphone type of device that comes alive under your touch, displaying, among other things, a map, a series of profiles, and a list of rules.]
It is understood that you may have questions; please be patient, and gather back in the Common Room in one hour. The Assistant will be present at this time to answer your questions. In the meantime, please feel free to explore the Facility at your leisure.
[The doors to the dorm areas are freely open from the inside, though you’ll find that it takes your electronic id to regain entry once you’ve left. Otherwise, it’s as the voice says, and you’ve got an hour to explore your new surroundings and get to know your fellow kidnappees.]
[Welcome to the Facility.]

And also being forced to wake up at 7:30 AM fucking sucks. Who even does that these days.
But if she was kidnapped, at least she wasn't well restrained... or... at all... so she decides to set out around the Facility to get her bearings.]
Ok if we got kidnapped by a supernatural force I am really upset you decided to take away my camera.
??? Room
[After wandering around a bit, Emma finally stumbles upon this mysterious junk room.
And she just falls in love with it.
She rushes into the room to get a good look at the mannequins, then grabs one and shows it to the nearest passerby.]
Oh my god look at this! Whoever owns this place is being such a try hard with the scare factor of this building.
[She's going to live in this room now.]
Around
Date: 2018-11-25 06:10 pm (UTC)Your belongings were taken from you?
[It's more asking to confirm than a question, since his own phone is missing from his pocket. He hadn't had anything else on him, and even then his phone wouldn't have been any use to him right now anyway...it was all busted for the time being.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 06:18 pm (UTC)It looks like it, at least my camera, I'm not sure about everything else though...
[She reaches into her jacket pocket.]
Aaand they took my wallet away from me too.
[That was a lower priority than the camera.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 06:54 pm (UTC)I only had my phone on me, but it's gone too. Or...I guess it's been replaced with a different one, now.
[He looks down at the phone-like device he'd found in his pocket, which as of so far seems to be a bit useless for actually using as a phone or else he would have absolutely called someone by now.]
I'll keep an eye out for your camera, though, and let you know if I see it anywhere.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 10:42 pm (UTC)Eh you don't have to worry about it that much. If we've been kidnapped I doubt they'd just have our stuff lying around here.
But this place looks nice enough that they might have another one laying about.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 11:01 pm (UTC)You're a photographer, right? Or...I guess like a ghost hunter, which would still make you one.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 06:15 pm (UTC)All the existential terror of your average American clothing store warehouse. [ she said, genuinely not at all in a mocking way. she pokes her head in and looks around ] Trying too hard indeed. Hello there!
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 07:06 pm (UTC)Hey there! [She mimics waving with the mannequin, before setting it down.] I'm guessing you just woke up here too?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 07:10 pm (UTC)Not exactly my usual style, location-wise. Even without the... [ gestures at the ???? Room. ] that.

Date: 2018-11-25 06:24 pm (UTC)[Rosa's....a little calmer? She's still very clearly on-edge and itching to hit someone, but she's at least established that none of these other people are the bad guy, so Emma's safe. For now.]
Camera? You're a photographer, then. Or a peeping tom.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 07:11 pm (UTC)I just like blaming demons whenever something shitty happens to me.
[She rolls her eyes]
Youtuber actually! You may have heard of my channel "The Ghoul Solvers" before, I'm practically a celebrity now.

Date: 2018-11-26 05:24 am (UTC)[She pauses, wrinkling her nose for a second.]
What, like the Try Bros?
???room
Date: 2018-11-25 06:48 pm (UTC)When Emma bursts into excitement, he jolts, but very quickly tries to regain composure with an adjustment of his glasses.]
Y-yes... [He says, pretending that mannequins aren't super creepy.] The lack of intricate craftsmanship creates an aura of...Legend of dollar-store Halloween decorations, hence.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 07:19 pm (UTC)Tell me about it. Maybe we got kidnapped somewhere that had no ghost legends and felt desperate enough to make up their own boring urban legends to cope.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 08:40 pm (UTC)A world without ghost stories?! What else would be spoken around campfires with friends to ignite the sparks of friendship with collective terror?!
[He's a baby but he respects the power of creepy ghost legends!]
Could it be...we are here to create these mannequin legends?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 10:54 pm (UTC)It might! Quick let's sneak one into one of the dorms and pretend they moved on their own!
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 11:38 am (UTC)Hence! Then, let us go quickly!

You can carry the burden of the cursed object.

Date: 2018-11-25 08:30 pm (UTC)[Takes a puff of his cigarette.]
How often are you kidnapped by supernatural or otherworldly forces?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 10:48 pm (UTC)[""job""]
About, like, a half. Depends on what you consider "kidnapping"
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 11:12 pm (UTC)Fantastic. So I am the only one truly experienced in this sort of ordeal.
[Though usually there's more carnivals and burial grounds appeasing an ancient clown god, and a wizard forcing them to swim through oceans of piss. This is a step-up.]
??? room
Date: 2018-11-25 10:36 pm (UTC)Ha, that's so cute! Oh, I'm going to wait until night, and then move them around like they're alive.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 10:53 pm (UTC)[She's not even joking.]
I guess I can pretend I'm horrified if you wanna record my reactions.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 10:58 pm (UTC)[neither of you even has a camera]
