Judgment 1: Arrival

[yamaxanadu]

Characters: Eiki and open!
Setting: Room 1-17, Cafeteria, wandering around
Format: Either
Summary:Eiki tries to get her barrings.
Warnings:None

Not being able to move after waking was startling, not quite frightening, but startling. Mostly due to the fact she hadn't remembered going to sleep. She didn't have time to sleep much and she had not used the Cleansed Crystal Mirror enough to require any. The other thing of quick note was that she was in an unfamiliar space and laying down. This was not her court room, something very suspicious was going on.

She didn't try and move for a while, the paralysis had probably past quite a bit before she went to move, but she had been busy thinking. She didn't have enough of a picture to make a decision yet, on what to do or what to assume. She would have to learn more first. The best place to start was of course the room she had awoken in. Bed, some sort of chest, simple provisions and a letter. The letter was a start, but not satisfactory.

"If I were to believe that at face value I would be considered a fool," she aid as she placed the letter down.

No, her world could not be destroyed, it wasn't something that could really be "destroyed". End perhaps, but not randomly. They would have known ahead of time of any potential changes.

Next was to check the trunk, she was relieved to find her clothes in there as well as some of her tools. She would be keeping those with her at all time now. With a quick change she decided to see if anyone else was around, or at least exploring every other door in her area in case there were more answerers to be found.


She was aware of some sort of requirement of eating oatmeal as ones first meal, but it seemed a bit strange. She wasn't particularly interested in it, and she couldn't say it was particularly appetizing to look at. She sat staring at it as if judging it intently while a hand absently went to her throat every so often to fiddle with the collar there.

"Hardly a meal one would want to be greeted with first thing."

I can't really speak specifically. I do know that recently, a sickness went around that affected people's minds and it certainly didn't seem to be natural.

[yamaxanadu]

So it would be safe to assume we are treated like playthings in one sense or another?

[concept_killer]

That would be a fairly safe thing to assume. I can't think of any other idea.

[yamaxanadu]

Not an ideal situation, but I suppose as long as one knows the set up it can be manageable in a way.

[concept_killer]

If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. I know I look like this but that probably makes me better at directions.

[yamaxanadu]

Those who must be extra aware of their surroundings will know them better than those who take what's before them for granted. I will make sure to request assistance when I need it, thank you.

[concept_killer]

I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't agree with that. But you're welcome.

[yamaxanadu]

Only if they can't look at a larger picture.

[concept_killer]

So someone who can't see can see the bigger picture?

[yamaxanadu]

Perhaps at times, at the very least they are aware of things those who can see may miss.

[concept_killer]

I wonder what kind of experience you have which would give you such a sure answer.

[yamaxanadu]

I have met many types of people in many walks of life.

[concept_killer]

A lot of people seem to get around.

[yamaxanadu]

I wouldn't doubt there are simply a lot of diverse people here.

[concept_killer]

That's true but I wouldn't consider that a good thing.

[yamaxanadu]

Oh? And why is that?

[concept_killer]

Too many vastly different people cramped together doesn't make for a good mix.

[yamaxanadu]

I suppose it would bring conflict, wouldn't it? Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard to get along, even with differences.

[concept_killer]

Some people have things they will not work with. In normal society, they'd probably never encounter those things but like this...

[yamaxanadu]

I suppose, though in extreme situations one must learn to adjust themselves and deal with what is presented reasonably.

[concept_killer]

Those are some high standards for any type of life form.

[yamaxanadu]

I suppose, but I can still hope for a day where it's possible.

[concept_killer]

Unless people become identical, I wonder if that day will ever come.

[yamaxanadu]

I would rather keep them diverse but open minded.
