[The first sensation you feel is a headache. It's brief, slicing, sharp. It passes soon after you wake up, but it is there nevertheless, and the pain is not easily forgotten. Perhaps your eyes also blur as if roused from a deep sleep; perhaps your tongue also feels off, like you swallowed a bug. It's not pleasant.
More unpleasant, though, is the second sensation that dawns on you all-this is not your bed. This, in fact, is unrecognizable. It is not anywhere you recall coming to, willingly or otherwise. It's a room with a bunk, and there is a strange smell in the air that is hard to ignore.
No, you are no longer home. Any possessions you may have had on you are gone, save your clothing and a strange watch you can't get off, no matter how hard you try. And when you run into the hallway, well-you might find yourself running into others who might be just as confused and scared as you are as the area around you slowly sways, up and down, left and right.
What is this place? Why are you here? Who are all these other people?
What is going on?]
I found out about the wrist scanners
[But the door looks so normal and Makima doesn't want to stare at someone going down a ladder so, oh well, she goes for the doorknob. It's locked!]
I don't see any puzzle, but perhaps some kind of... Scanner?
no subject
Hm... Maybe....
[She steps closer to the door and begins investigation, though she doesn't have to look very far before spotting what appears to be a scanner panel. There's not a card reader attached to this one, and there's no number on the door, but she reaches out and touches it. There's a soft beep and a clicking sound, and a moment later when she tries it the door swings open.]
So it was locked... but not to keep us in. Maybe that's a good sign.
no subject
[She looks back and forth at this stuff and raises up her own bracelet to also get a little electric click. It doesn't really do anything because the door is already open, but Makima seems relaxed enough to take it at face value.]
It's still a little unconventional. [She makes to take off her bracelet and can't.] Almost like a handcuff...
no subject
Maybe.
[The word is quiet, hesitant.]
But...
[There's some windows and doors covered with bolted metal plates even here, it seems like. She bites her lip when she sees them, and then watches as her roommate, apparently, fiddles with the bracelet.]
Where I was before... when they put this... the um, the other bracelet on me.... They....
[She takes a breath, because this is definitely upsetting.]
If it's the same, you can't take it off. Not while your heart is still beating.
no subject
Did you witness that worst case scenario yourself before? No wonder you're so terrified.
no subject
He... he blew up.
I don't think it's the same here.
I hope it's not the same here.
[But a lot sure felt like it was the same.]
no subject
If there was a bomb, I imagine there was nothing anyone could have done to save him. Really, you must have needed to stay away, for your own safety. Let's go out of this room for now. There's probably less pressure outside.
no subject
Good idea. We should probably be trying to find a way out, anyway.
no subject
This hallway also looks pretty normal. No puzzles.
no subject
It's strange that things are so... so similar but still have so many differences.
