Welcome, Participants
Nov. 25th, 2018 11:57 amGood 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 this is absolutely an underground experiment facility, possibly literally, so good instincts there.]
And when this ends, he is going to let you go home, why would he keep you after the program ends? And you can get out of here by- just being patient.

I might have lost my powers, but I'm still stronger than a mortal.
[No need to hide that now that it's public information.]

[It sounds more like an automatic reaction than natural speech, almost like a recording- which would probably be weirder if Penny hadn't already told everyone she was a robot.]
[But, um. That arm Sonia's trying to grab? Sort of twists around to grab back, and then there's a sweeping motion, and with a speed she probably hasn't felt since she was human, and very suddenly she's on the floor with her arm held behind her back.]
[At least it's carpeting.]
[Not very soft carpeting, but carpeting.]
PLEASE calm down, Miss Argona. ...You're not hurt, are you?

Get off me! [She probably shouldn't kick at Penny uselessly, but here we are.]

I want to, really? But. It kind of seems like you'll just try attacking me again if I do it right this second.
