WELCOME ABOARD


[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?]

[She watches this display for several long moments from the doorway with a puzzled expression, finally speaking when he seems almost ready to pull the tv off the wall and throw it somewhere.]

Are you used to touch screen tvs? That doesn't sound very convenient.

[It's also not a thing she's really heard of but how else to explain this?

[lovedthemost]

[Brain jerks upright at that, startled, turning his head to glance at her]

What would the point of that be? [he looks and sounds annoyed, like she just asked a very stupid question.]

[exequte]

I don't know?

[Look man you were the one poking at the television.]

[lovedthemost]

Precisely.

[archly, before he's turning to try and run his fingers over the tv again, searching for ports]

[exequte]

[.... what a strange man.]

Um.... are you.... looking for something?

[lovedthemost]

I'm trying to understand why I cannot connect with it or access its code.

[exequte]

[that is simultaneously very direct and also not even slightly helpful, 10/10]

.... do you think it's a wireless monitor? I... don't think it is.....

[lovedthemost]

Even if it's not wireless, it should still have code that can be accessed.

[exequte]

... I don't think they work that way. Certainly not without the remote.

[lovedthemost]

[Oh he is so rolling his eyes right now]

For you, it doesn't.
