Welcome, Participants

[mockmods]

Good 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.]

Cool. [Rosa gives Chloe an approving nod.] Sometimes people feel, uh.

[What's the word, what's the word.]

Less like they're gonna die. If there's a cop.

[thisass]

Long as you're not some sort of... action movie crooked cop, I do feel safer!

[ Chloe peers down a hallway. ]

How often do you American cops get to kick down doors, anyway? In the films it seems to happen every damn day.

[biolence]

I'm a detective. Action movies are all fake, but I do more of that shit than sitting around eating donuts. Definitely not crooked.

[She shrugs, wiggling a hand.]

I get to kick down a door at least once every couple weeks.
