GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD
[When you come to, it's at your own pace. It even feels like waking up as usual. The only problem is that nothing else fits.
If you're lucky, you've woken up in a bed, but even then, it's not your bed. It's a bunk bed, and there may or may not be another person collapsed on top of you and out like a light. Every other bed in the room is similarly full. But there's no way to fit all these guests on four mattresses, even with forcing people to "get cozy" with one another, so chances are you're waking up someplace else.
You might get lucky and wake up on a couch... or you might wake up in the bathtub, or in the shower. On the kitchen cabinets, in the kitchen cabinets. Facedown in a stairwell, or just straight-up dumped in a hallway. You get the idea. The point is, you're waking up in a house that might be perfectly nice, even luxurious, if it were just you and you were waking up anywhere that made sense.
Unfortunately, it's not just you. It's not even one or two other people. Oh, no. There are 14 others scattered throughout the house. And, so far as you can tell... only those 14 others. Who have just as much of an idea of what's going on as you do. Isn't that lovely?
At least you've woken up with clothes on... and at least you seem to have one item of yours that came along for the ride. Better than nothing.
Oh, and one last thing... you just might remember a creepy little dream that told you about having a power now. But that's gotta be fake, right? ...Right?
Rise and shine, Strangers. It's time to start a brand new day here at 15 Maple Lane.]
also a mod ping for investigation
This sure is a familiar and unfamiliar sensation, and not necessarily in the best way. She does remember that dream, but --
Not in the sort of way that she wants to immediately acknowledge. At the very least, she's well rested, but being in a place she doesn't recall sends shivers down her spine. It's not a good feeling at all in the slightest bit. Nevertheless, it's probably for the best to get a good look at her surroundings and figure out if there's anybody else here, who the hell did this because she's expecting hell on a multitude of levels.
Which is why she's going to see if there's any immediate oddities while exploring in terms of the place's age and if there's any wear and tear. Other than that, though, she's going to be checking two immediate places for things: the kitchen, to see what supplies they have outside of food (taking account the number of knives and various kitchenware) along with what sorts of machines they have - microwaves? oven? toaster? along with the master bedroom, checking every nook and cranny, although specifically making sure to check the closets if there are any.
Of course, she isn't going to say no to someone joining her, but she isn't necessarily going out of her way to ask someone to assist her, either. Although if she does see someone, she'll consider them, speaking up with a curious question: ]
I suppose you're in the same situation as myself? Just woke up, weird dream, nothing on you except for one thing?
KITCHEN FIRST
At the moment, it looks like...a normal kitchen from the 2010s. Microwave? Oven? Toaster? Check. A butcher block of knives? Check. This looks like a normal kitchen with the normal accessories and the normal levels of possible murder.
Anything else in the kitchen Inaba would like to check out?]

mod ping for one thing
[ For a moment, he thinks he's back in the dorms. But there's a heavy weight on him that doesn't feel familiar. Cracking an eye open and then he lets out a loud yell as he shoves the person off. ]
Where did you come from?
[ Scrambling away as fast as he can. And then he'll start to pat himself down to make sure he has his clothes still on. ]
Phew! Looks like I have everything.
[ Including a katana. pls watch for that. ]
Explora Dora
[ He's opening all the cupboards to check out the food. ]
Score! There's a lot of snacks in here.
[ Just grabbing a bag of chips and cookies. He's set.
He is peeking around the front door. What is this tiny closet thing next to the front door hmm? ]
Wonder what's in here?
Bedroom Wars
[ Just going to sprawl across the bed in the master bedroom, munching on chips like he owns it. ]

Gaius is uh, also a very solid wall of Tall and muscle, so at least he doesn't end up falling off the bed even if he's shoved from Jack. ]
...Sorry, but I don't know either.
[ He also decidedly checks himself and hey, he also has a Fafnir! So he isn't deterred by the other having a weapon. If it comes to it, he can defend himself. ]

Estelle wakes with a blonde, curly-haired older man deposited on top of her, who gives a soft "oof" and promptly rolls to the floor mere seconds after matching eyes with her. Naturally, this prompts another noise of pain as he makes hard contact with the floor.
So now there is a lanky blonde male sprawled out dazedly, staring up at the ceiling. Well... no, not quite the ceiling? He's holding up one hand, and wiggling and stretching the fingers like they're alien.]
Hmm... this is unexpected.
[...He sounds way too okay with all of this. Is he even awake yet?]

What... what manner of place be this?
[He jerks in surprise and reaches inside the cloak. The jingling of bells rings out, and he visibly relaxes. At least it's still here. He rises to his feet and starts to look around, tan cloak billowing behind him. He's never seen a home like this - and it's clearly home, and a noble one at that. The fabrics on the strange cushions are too high quality.]

investigation ping!
Well. That's trouble. He's on his feet as soon as he's checked his bag l. (just a journal and some pencils... Hm.) First order of buisness: investigate the windows. It's kind of a long shot, but he needs to know if anything's going on outside first...]

there's a notably loud thud and grunt coming from the bathroom — it's just squall waking up in the bathtub and jamming his elbows against the sides on reflex. when he's out, you'll likely find him inspecting the bunk beds, checking underneath them and peeling off sheets whenever he can.
he doesn't have much to say. not beyond— ]
I want to get out of here. I'm sure you do too. So make yourself useful.
[ after that, he'll be fiddling with the locked door in the living room, checking for any means of entry or...exit. ]

Pod, where are we?
[No response, which is when he realizes his pod's not here. 9S does a quick diagnostic and,]
Weapons systems are offline, same with hacking... what's going on?
[He makes his way out of the bathroom finally, poised as if he's ready to hack into the next thing he comes across. Maybe he can bluff his way out? Not likely, but what else is he gonna do? When he does see someone, even out of the corner of his eye, he calls out,]
Hey, wait!
[Is it a good idea to engage with potential hostiles? No, but there's no pod here to stop him.]

Also what is up with that blind fold? How can you even see? He'll wave his hand slowly as if to check that he actually sees him ]

slight investiagation
Then it's looking around the rest of the floor. The bunk beds give her flashbacks to her trainee days, of all of them crammed onto long beds. Adapting to Sasha's snoring. But this looks pretty normal by her standards.
The master bedroom however... Now that is some rich noble person stuff. What's this on the wall? Oh the whole wall opens up, to a smaller room. She's going to look in this closet.
Otherwise Mikasa could be found looming around the house, in her trench-coat and scarf. There wasn't much point to hiding or sneaking around. Though, anything remotely modern gets a good looking at. But she's not touching anything. Not without staring at someone else near it to see what they do.
Okay that's a lie. She does attempt to give the TV screen a poke. Jerking her hand away when the static crackles.]
...What is this?
[Yeah, staying away from that and flexing her fingers. It didn't hurt but what???]

Oyo...?
[She puts a hand to her chest without thinking... and then jumps up in a panic and starts talking to her wrist.]
AI? AI, are you there-lun? Please respond-lun!
[After calming down and confirming that none of the doors or windows open, she decides to look for an alternate exit. This leads her to inspect the fireplace to see if maybe she can climb up the chimney.]
?
But it doesn't budge. Nothing will pry it from place.
Hm. This may be impossible to figure out right now.]

She'll crawl out from under the bed and unless she sees someone right off, she's going to take the time to cuddle with the plushie because it's cute and she loves cats and this is about the only way she'll ever be able to cuddle with a cat since she's allergic.
After that, she's going to look around and see if she can find a way out since she really needs to go find the people who were there when she was returned to her own body. She really can't afford to stay here long and let a certain someone have his way back home.]
no subject
But she is still around, because she's claimed this closet as her room.
So she just watches the 'child' crawl out from under there. Hi?]

[1/2] he sees you all
It's only after all of the lights have returned with the sickening green colors, that the static abruptly ceases, and from the television and the desktop comes a single, solitary image.
And, from every orifice of the house, comes a voice.]
[2/2]
I...am Vyce. Lord and conqueror of all I see.
