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.]

Date: 2018-11-25 08:50 pm (UTC)[A straightforward term that must be a euphemism for something more sinister - much like The Fall.]
I'm not familiar with that group. What city are they stationed in?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-25 09:06 pm (UTC)[Hm. How does he put this.]
Villain is a broader term than that. You have Heroes and Villains that both act how their names imply...there is a group that calls themselves the League of Villains that work together, though. They've been capable of large-scale ambushes in the past, but...
[He trails off. Is he saying too much?]
To answer your question though, you can find a Villain pretty much anywhere in Japan, just as easily as you can find someone working as a Hero.

Date: 2018-11-26 01:26 am (UTC)[Simpler than the five the vampires have, but it sounds far more chaotic.]
And their end goals? How did they respondo to The Rain? [...they might not be calling it that.] The end of the world?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 01:39 am (UTC)[Hold on]
What do you mean?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 01:44 am (UTC)[don't you....remember that?]
I exaggerate. Many people died, but it wasn't the end.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 01:56 am (UTC)I'm sorry, I...I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing like that has ever happened, not that I remember.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 02:00 am (UTC)Oh my god. Don't lie to me.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 02:26 am (UTC)[He lifts his hands up quickly, shaking his head.]
I have no reason to lie to you about something like that.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 05:39 pm (UTC)What's the last thing you remember?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-26 10:32 pm (UTC)So, then, he'll be selective.]
One of my classmates had been kidnapped. The last thing I remember is that we'd just gotten him back to safety.
[At least he hopes Bakugou is alright..]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-27 02:30 am (UTC)[The Rain occurred in late 2013. Izuku would be missing at least a year of time. If he knows about two powerful factions, he must be involved with the supernatural.
Which meant there is a chance he is a Hunter.
Sonia will be wary of this child.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-27 06:21 am (UTC)From my perspective...it just happened. Not even a day ago.
That's why I don't understand how I could be here so suddenly.
[Well...he can think of a few reasons, but he's pretty sure Sonia isn't interested in hearing more confusing details about his world.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-27 03:07 pm (UTC)[Her eyes widen. It could have been centuries. Izuku could have literally been awake weeks ago, seeing that he wasn't panicking about his physiology while Sonia, eternally in her 20's, isn't able to tell.]
Oh no.
[Sonia is fucking pissed and their kidnapper will hear about this.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-27 10:45 pm (UTC)[Or the better question is, what else is it.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-28 02:12 pm (UTC)[How much has she forgotten? Are the Invictus Alliance doing well without her? What's happening with the Prometheans? Who's going to take down Grace? What's become of her work in rebuilding her House's glory?]
We have to find the year.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-29 06:22 am (UTC)He just sets his jaw, trying to keep his expression schooled. It only sort of works to keep the nerves out of his expression.
Wait, year? How far back does she think their memories might have been wiped...?]
There has to be a something with a date on it somewhere in here. If everyone has a phone on them, then it's not too far to assume there are other devices in the building. Maybe even a calendar.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-29 02:54 pm (UTC)[She's messed with her computer's settings before.]
It's a method of control - they hide crucial information from us so we remain confused.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-30 03:32 am (UTC)I'm not sure how much knowing the time period is going to help us right now either way. The best I could think to do right now is survey the surroundings and see if there might be any possible openings or weaknesses that might allow us to be able to at least escape this building.
no subject
Date: 2018-11-30 02:26 pm (UTC)...And she just leaves him to check out the other rooms for escape. Bye?]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-30 05:33 pm (UTC)Izuku almost stops her, but he decides to let her go. They'll likely cross paths again eventually.]
Nice...meeting you...
