trusthell | 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.

Me too! Maybe if we all work together we can figure this out. There are a lot of us.

There is always strength in numbers!

What I can't figure out... [looks thoughtful for a moment.] How did they get us in here if there aren't any doors?

[ Her first thought was that it was the work of a Fal'Cie, but... obviously that's not the case. It would've made its presence known long ago. ]

There aren't even any windows. [ a frown, as she puts her hands on her hips. ] A tricky situation, huh?

Very tricky.

[beat] Do you think it could be a villain that's behind this? [he has never seen a villain before it's all very exciting.]

Might be! Putting a lot of people together with no way out seems like something a villain would do, anyway.

"Wordsmith" doesn't sound like an evil name. Unless they are evil words.

[he stopped stretching a little while ago and now just looks kinda. antsy. like he's trying his best to have this reasonable conversation instead of doing 500 sit ups like he wants to.]

We could try to find them! There aren't many places they could hide, if they're here.

I don't see how words can be evil!

[ an excellent idea...! Vanille nods, lifting her arm and clenching her fist. ]

Sounds like a plan!

[ names are a thing! ]

I'm Vanille!

I'm Sportacus! [both of these are normal names.

he sees her little movement, grins, and does his own, sticking his finger up in the air.] I am sure we'll find out the secrets of this place!

Nice to meet you, Sportacus!

[ this is fine. ]

Well, we won't find 'em by just standing around! Where should we start?

How about... The library! A bookcase would be the perfect place to hide a secret entrance!

You think so?

[ Well, he does seem like he knows what he's doing! ]

Alright, lead the way!

[HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING

also you know what happens. he's so goddamn pumped about the idea of GETTING INTO ACTION that before he can even think about it, his first movement is to go into a full front flip. it's p sweet.

and then he lands on his feet, remembers, and slaps his forehead.]

-- Ah, no, not yet! I do not want to break any of the Wordsmith's nice things. [yet]

[ !!!! HOW COOL.... ]

Wow! Hey, if we find a place that's more open, can you show me how to do that?

[well, he didn't mean to... but he wouldn't be flipping everywhere if he didn't wanna show off. at least a little bit.]

Of course! All you need to do it is practice! [he says, severely understating the effort required to do it.]

Practice, huh? You make it sound so easy!

Anything can be easy if you do it often enough! And [heh] many people would say I do that much too often.

Aww, I don't think there's anything wrong with practicing really often! Especially if it's something you love!

And I do love it! [fond smile] Moving is pretty much my whole life!

If you're a superhero, I can see that! [ HMM. ] I can see the "super" part, but what're you a hero of?

The "super" part is what I don't agree with. [waves hand dismissively] I consider myself slightly above average, at best.

... Well, I'm just a hero! I go around and save people-- anything from natural disasters to kittens stuck in trees.

Everyone's super in their own way!

[ She nods to herself. ]

Sounds like a great job to have! I think that's something I'd like to do, but then again, back in Oerba we all just help each other out anyway.

That sounds like a wonderful place!

[he is about to mangle this name with his accent, fair warning.]

Oerba... I have never heard of it before. Where is it?

[ She's butchered a fair amount of words too, it's fine ]

It's my favorite place in the world! It's on Gran Pulse.

... I have never heard of that, either. [surely he's not much less well-traveled than he'd thought...]

It's okay! Lots of people haven't. But I think you'd like it. There's lots of room to do all sorts of exercises!
