Trustfell 4: Trust Fall or Die Hard ([personal profile] trustwellness) wrote in [community profile] trusthell2017-01-22 12:35 am

Welcome.

You wake with the unshakable feeling that you shouldn't be here.

Perhaps you were in the middle of something, perhaps you weren't. Either way, you're waking up in an unfamiliar location with no recollection of how you got here. The room you've woken up in is sparsely-decorated, though that might be difficult to tell at first given how nice the beds are...but eventually you'll notice a few things that are a little...off. Maybe the scent is striking you wrong - it's clean, but it's not yours. Maybe your bed back home doesn't support your back in quite this way. Maybe you should be seeing sunlight through your window by now.

Maybe you should have a window in the first place.

This isn't right, but leaving the room won't give you any more answers. You might want to grab the silver key sitting on your trunk on the way out.

Don't worry though, you aren't all alone here. Once you step outside your room into the hallway, you'll notice that a few others are emerging from their rooms as well. It looks like they're just as confused and concerned as you are. Feel free to talk to them, but none of you know how exactly you wound up here and maybe some useful information can be found by exploring.

If you follow the hallway to its end (and it's a very long hallway), you'll eventually arrive in the foyer. You'll find some very interesting information about yourselves on the wall near the clock. Perhaps even more importantly, if you look on the other side of the multi-pendulumed thing, you'll find other framed information that you might want to pay attention to. It could very well be the key to escaping this strange place, after all. Don't worry if you forget the rules, you can find them in every room of the building.

Of course, search as you might, you won't find a doorway or a window of any sort. Getting out won't be so easy, it seems.

But who knows? Perhaps your fellow captives have something to say about all of this.

Welcome to Chronos University.

[So. Watanuki happened to be walking by Varric's door just as Varric happened to be leaving his room. Meaning that suddenly a man there has startled the poor boy, causing him to jump back against the opposite wall while making a startled noise.]

YAAAAADon't do that! You're gonna give someone a heart attack!

[Watanuki? On edge? No, never.]
neverheardofhim: (let me tell you why you're a little bitc)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-22 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[If the kid's outburst startled Varric, he didn't show it. His expression did shift, however, going from serious business to concern. His defensive posture dropped and he held out his hands amicably.]

Shit, shit, sorry. You alright?
foundfate: (sigh)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-22 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, I'll be alright.

[He does still sound a touch annoyed, but the fact that Varric seems apologetic instead of defensive is definitely helping here. He does take that hand, though.]

I, er. I guess I'm a little jumpy, that's all.
neverheardofhim: (Default)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-22 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Can't blame you there. [He supposed that if it was the other way around, the dwarf would have been just as startled. Of course, it might not have ended well for the man in front of him. Varric got the feeling he wasn't the cower against the wall sort of type.]

Guessing you have no clue what's going on here either, then?
foundfate: (you are strange)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-22 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Varric definitely seems more like the type to punch first and ask questions later.]

I have a guess, but I don't know for sure. Yuuko likes to send me off on weird jobs, but usually she gives me some kind of warning first. So this might not actually be her doing.
neverheardofhim: (leaning over musing)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-22 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yuuko a friend of yours? [That's what friends did, right? Send you off on quests? He'd done it himself, before.]

Interesting as your theory is, you're probably right: it's not how you got here. Unless your friend likes picking on random dwarves, too.
foundfate: (talk and tea)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-22 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
My boss, actually. And unless all the rest of you are her customers and making some really weird wishes, she probably isn't picking on everyone.
neverheardofhim: (Default)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-22 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Never heard of her, so... I'm inclined to agree.

[He peered down the hall, toward more faces he didn't recognize. Of all of what he was witnessing, the randomness was most troubling.]

Even if I was, who would wish to wake up in a place like this? [Especially without Bianca. Definitely not like him.]
foundfate: (uncomfortable laugh)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-22 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, when most people make a wish, they don't really think about the specifics of what that wish entails. They just think of the results.

[Translation: this absolutely could be step 1 in a complicated wish.]
neverheardofhim: (shit eating grin)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-22 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [Varric didn't quite understand what he was getting at, but he supposed it didn't matter.] Well, I wish to get the hell out of here.

[He squeezed his eyes shut, waited the space of a heartbeat or two, and then opened them once more.]

Guess your boss really wasn't involved.
foundfate: (sigh)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-22 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not really how it works-

[he stops suddenly, and he just. Sighs. It's not really worth getting worked up over, it's not like he can show Varric how wish-granting works.]

But it's fine, point proven.
neverheardofhim: (Default)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
So. Know anyone else with that kind of power? [Varric figures that if he knows one, he might know a few.]

Me? I've got an angry, wannabe god who wants me and my friends dead. But I don't know what he'd want from you.
foundfate: (thinking)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they're out there, but I don't know anyone personally, no.

[Yuuko did say she was 'making gods' that one time though...]

And I don't know what he'd want from me either, unless he's looking for a chef or something.
neverheardofhim: (shit eating grin)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Guess we're shit out of luck for now then. [Varric scratched at the stubble on his chin.] Maybe you're onto something though. He needs you to cook, me to win women over, tell him stories and be a general force of wonder.
foundfate: (huh?)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Win women over? But there's not that many women here to begin with.

[It's a 15/15 split for genders, but that's still not a lot of women.]
neverheardofhim: (leaning over musing)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's the point. He wants more. [He wasn't sure who he was working with, but he'd made Hawke sound like a proper hero. If she could sound like a proper hero, then surely whoever nabbed him could be made to sound... alright.]
foundfate: (you are strange)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe he should have brought all women here, if that's what he wanted.
neverheardofhim: (Default)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
But then who would cook them dinner, or help win them over. [Silly man.] He needs us.
foundfate: (huh?)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well I'm pretty sure at least one of the girls could cook dinner, maybe.
neverheardofhim: (look at this smug butt)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's a little sexist, don't you think? [Not to mention the fact that he can't remember the last time he'd met a woman who could cook. Nevertheless, he can't help but giving Watanuki an amused look.]
foundfate: (angry yelling)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
That- Oi, that's not what I meant! If there's 30 girls here, then odds are that at least one of them would know how to cook!

[Good job getting a rise out of him, though. He's easy to prod into reacting.]
neverheardofhim: (headtilt)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Varric couldn't help his burst of laughter. He'd meant for it to be a jab, but he hadn't expected such a golden reaction.]

Easy, easy. [He snorted.] I know what you mean. And I won't tell any of the girls what you said.
foundfate: (gritting his teeth)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Augh augh someone's pushing his buttons for a reaction. This guy reminds him too much of a certain someone from back home.]

W-well it's fine, they'll know what I meant too!

[He's so defensive, and yet it's nothing to be defensive over. Hissy cat mode: engaged]
neverheardofhim: (such dramatics)

[personal profile] neverheardofhim 2017-01-23 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they will. [Varric's grin was downright impish.] I guess that means you won't mind if I do tell them?
foundfate: (gritting his teeth)

[personal profile] foundfate 2017-01-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
How about you do literally anything else?

[He says through gritted teeth.]
