WEEK 1

WEEK 1


[Awaken.

Fifteen strangers have been gathered to the Depths.

When the strangers awaken, they will feel nauseous in their stomachs. No doubt confused. Maybe a little sick, Perhaps, even terrified. And certainly, there is a good reason for it - they are not where they were before. If they had powers back where they came from, they seem to be all gone. And it appears that someone has left...guidelines for them. All of them addressed to a specific Title.

Their Title. Somehow, each person knows, upon seeing this, this is their Title, even if it seems to make no sense whatsoever. And its clear that whoever wrote these things knew it as well. Who was it?

Its uncertain. So far, there seems to be no one else save for them, and those who dare to venture out of their rooms - save, for some reason, the individuals in rooms 1, 8 and 7 - in this hot and stuffy place. No...'intercessor' to be seen yet, certainly. No outward signs that there's anyone else aside from the people with 'Titles'.


So, Titled: welcome.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

It is the Title granted to you due to the power you posses.

[Shrug]

And it is the Title I know you by.

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the Red Dragon Drive. Except...it's gone now.

[Grabbing another book. Hitchkhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...that one isn't familiar, but it mentions space, so ???]

But one of the other guys, he could use fire like I used to, except he seemed like he didn't know he could do that.

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I know. Question had mentioned it, as had Dealmaker. Apparently, some of you did not have these powers, before coming here.
carries_war: (Rubedo-Not again...)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
But you said we were brought here because of our Titles, didn't you? How can that be the case if we didn't have them before?
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[A small slurp of their soup.]

I had assumed you had them before you arrived. That was...the impression I was given, certainly.
carries_war: (Rubedo-Not again...)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Your superiors didn't give you a very good briefing if you didn't know that. If you're supposed to be watching us, shouldn't they try to give you accurate information?

[Wait, did those books just change? Just a second, blinking at the bookshelf.]
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
...My...superiors...

[Ugh, just saying that word. They just want to grind their teeth.]

It would not surprise me if they lied to me. They told me there would be no children, and there are children. They told me your Titles reflected your one, true power. That you needed to be here, though not why.

They told me many other things, that I'm not so certain are true now.

[His mouth doesn't change, but the way his eyebrows knit suggests a frown. Whether it's at the Intercessor's statement or his puzzlement with the bookcase, however...that's harder to say, though the way he casually grabs two books might indicate the former.]

If you can't trust information from your superiors, how can you be expected to fulfill your mission properly?
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I can't. I can only fulfill what you're able to, I suppose.

[With that, they finish their soup, setting it aside.]

I see you're finding books, at least.
carries_war: (Rubedo-I'll just be going now...)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Blinking again, then peering at the bookcase. H...uh.]

Can you read all of these languages?
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink.]

Can't you?
carries_war: (Rubedo-Not again...)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
A few. I know a handful of major languages, but most of these aren't familiar.

[He's. Not going to bring up the 'can suddenly read more languages' thing just yet.]
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
They aren't?

[That actually sounds very concerning, Decayed...they actually stand at this.]

How can that be?
carries_war: (Rubedo-You mean it?)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[His brother is even less expressive than he is, so he knows a major reaction when he sees it.]

I don't know...someone else thinks we might be from different dimensions. Other people didn't understand what a bioweapon is, which is really weird.
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Different...all of you from different places?

By the...

...


[A hand goes to their temple.]

...I shall have to ask those who brought you here about this. Though it's obvious I can't trust them to be forthright...it is all I can think of to do.
carries_war: (Rubedo-You mean it?)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up at the Intercessor, then back at his books. If nobody here really knows what's going on...he looks back up at the Intercessor.]

Can I have some paper and something to write with first?
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[They retreat to the writing desk and bring these items forth.]

Here you are.
carries_war: (Rubedo-You mean it?)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[Hmm...]

Is this the kind of technology you're used to?
carries_war: (Rubedo-Not again...)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Interesting. He gives a slight nod.]

Then we're definitely not from the same place. This looks like something out of the history and fantasy books about Lost Jerusalem, eight-thousand years ago.
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Lost Jerusalem...I cannot say I have heard of such a place.
carries_war: (Rubedo-You mean it?)

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-18 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It used to have a different name...I think the really old books called it Earth?
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-18 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...Earth.

That word I have heard before.

[personal profile] carries_war 2017-05-19 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's the name of the planet humans came from, back before the Zohar and the incident that forced everyone to leave.
intercessing: (Default)

[personal profile] intercessing 2017-05-19 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...You mean...

[It seems like the Intercessor is trying to struggle with something. To try and word something without seeming...rude.]

...you consider yourself to be man.

[That is the best they can think of.]
