WAKE UP TIME

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.]

See him, like with my eyes? I'm real sorry, Torri.

[This is starting to faintly ring a bell from the profiles he skimmed, but that display is no guarantee of the guy actually being here, so Dio doesn't want to get this easily confused and confusing girl's hopes up.]

[pinnately]

Mmhmm, with your eyes.

[ A serious nod! ...wait a second. ]

Have you seen him in some other way?

[notgentle]

Uh, no. This whole time I thought you were just talking about like... an idea that you can't see or hear or anything. Like how God is watching over us from far away.

[pinnately]

No. His name is Wake Archus, he's a real person and he's very important.

[notgentle]

Oh, I see. I'm sure he'll be proud to find out what you told other people about him.

[Maybe Wake is some kind of... celebrity?]

[pinnately]

I hope he will, I like making Wake happy.

[ She is pretty pure. ]

[notgentle]

Then I'm sure he's gotten the picture, how that's what you've been doing for him.

[ask not what torri can do for wake though. ask what torri can do for dio.]

So, what else have you been doing since you got here? Do you... say, remember how you got here?

[pinnately]

[ This is true. ]

No. The last thing I remember is classmating with Wake. It usually tires me out and makes me feel sleepy, but I've never actually fallen asleep after it before...

[notgentle]

[............................that had better mean they were doing homework. He gives a concerned glance before continuing.]

I was walking in to work and then fell asleep too. It's kind of weird. You'd think it's a drug, but I didn't see or feel anything...

[pinnately]

[ That is not what they were doing, but points for your optimism Dio. ]

I don't think even I could fall asleep walking, that sounds really hard. [ ... ] Do you think we forgot what really happened to us?

[notgentle]

Ummmmmmmmmmmm... if we did, then probably most of what we forgot was how we got kidnapped and everything. Some sleeping drugs work that way. Soporil, that kind of thing.

[pinnately]

Mm, that sounds really awful. I wonder why someone would do that to everyone...

[ Well she knows, because they're a bad person. But why they would want to be a bad person, she doesn't know. ]

[notgentle]

Um, because they wanted us to come here, I guess. If they asked nicely, wouldn't we say no? And run away?

[pinnately]

Yes, it's important for me to get back home. But doing things bad things is still not a good thing to do. Maybe they could have tried a different way to get people to come here.

[notgentle]

Yeah, this probably wasn't the right thing to do...

[He stretches his shoulders.] Well, I'm going to be looking for a way out. Have fun waiting for God's Gift. But, uh, you don't have to stand there the whole time, okay? You'll get tired.

[pinnately]

OK, I'll wait a few minutes and then I'll leave, it would be bad to fall asleep. Thank you for helping me.

[ She means it, 100% sincere. ]
