WAKE UP TIME

[The first thing you feel when you wake up is...nothing.

You don't feel much different at all when you wake up, no doubt from a very pleasant sleep, even if you may not remember what you dreamed of. If anything, you would have thought it was another normal day.

That thought would have vanished the moment you took in your surroundings. This is not your bed, this is definitely not your bedroom, and well, this is definitely not your home. In fact, this place isn't anywhere you've been before.

Before you can question anything much further, your cell phone starts beeping, flashing a message on the screen for a good several minutes, before flashing your profile, also for a few minutes. Yes, now you have a Title, and a power, even if you've never had one before. And yes, you have a cell phone. Even if you didn't have one, and don't know what the hell a cell phone is. You get the feeling you'll need to keep it on you.

The profile fades back to the home page of your phone - don't worry, you can still access your profile, and everyone else's, on that little lime icon if you really want - even though you have so many questions now. (The help button may... attempt to be helpful in that case.) Where the hell are you? Why do you have a Title? And can you get out?

Perhaps, if you're strong enough. But, in any case.

Welcome, Titled.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[ Someone missed the memo-- ]

W-wait, you don't think they were serious about that, right? Surely it was some Samhain Festival prank, right?

[totalbullshit]

Why would a demon go through all this kidnapping effort for the sake of a practical joke?

[ Here's a deadpan expression, isn't this perfectly obvious? ]

Nobody would do this without some nefarious intent, so I wouldn't have any faith.

[theirmagic]

Ahh... no, it couldn't be a demon! I don't have my magic to deal with a demon! You don't think--it purposefully disarmed us?!

[ THIS IS VERY BAD??? ]

[totalbullshit]

There was nothing to disarm on me, so if anything it armed me. There is nothing trustworthy about that granted power though.

[ She's half convinced that if she tries it, she'll just electrocute herself while the demon laughs. ]

[theirmagic]

... We don't know that for certain. Aside from which, it's all we've got.

[ Small sigh. HER WAND... her magic... ]

Unless I can find the ingredients to make a potion or something here, although I find the idea very unlikely.

[totalbullshit]

I've never heard of an exorcism potion.

[ She hasn't seen many exorcisms live either, but that is besides the point. Even for her own, she was kind of unconscious. ]

[theirmagic]

You can do pretty much anything with potions. Raise the dead, repair broken objects... it just requires the correct ingredients.

[totalbullshit]

And those are? As big as this mall is, you stand some chances of finding them.

[ The rarer it is the more likely a mall is to import it and sell it at horrendous prices as a lifestyle item, you know? ]

[theirmagic]

Mmm... it would depend on if there's a magical item shop in the mall or not. Using regular ingredients is... probably a bad idea... one of my students accidentally raised the dead, once...

[ Elongated sigh. ]

[totalbullshit]

If these rules go through, that might be just what we need.

[ She shrugs. ]

[theirmagic]

... I highly doubt they'd give us access to a restoration potion. It would be too easy... even if they gave us the poisonous mushroom needed to... uh, ruin the mixture...

[ She frowns a bit. ]

Though I suppose it couldn't hurt to look, anyway.

[totalbullshit]

I would put its priority secondary to a way out, but overall, it's not a bad idea to be prepared for the worst.

I'm really not interested in this battle royale scenario though.

[theirmagic]

I don't think there's a way out. I've been searching, though, while I looked for something else.

[ Still... ]

The enchants on this place must be pretty powerful.

[totalbullshit]

So you don't think we have any chance of escaping at all? Now that's pessimistic.
