First Test Drive!




Welcome:

The room you appear in, ripped from wherever you had been a moment ago, is cold and uninteresting. White walls, tile floors, and nothing to look at save for the woman in generic business dress holding a clipboard. She seems to be checking off people as they arrive, but doesn't seem interested in interacting aside from handing you a key to what is apparently now your room.

Luckily for you, you aren't the only baffled new arrival, and once you're all shuffled out of the room and into the adjoining courtyard, there's both more pleasant scenery, plenty of time to talk, and a table set next to the door that's covered with markers, stacks of "Hi my name is" stickers, and a cheerful set of instructions and suggested topics if you all decide you want to play charades.

Whatever you might think of the odd welcome, you get a distinct sense that it would be in your interest to get to know some of these people.

Entertainment options:

In the hobby room, you'll find a few TVs set up with video game systems attached that double as DVD players. Unfortunately, the selection is lacking. There's a pile of disks, but all you'll find is the same movie and the same video game over and over. Namely, a romantic comedy and something that might be a knockoff of Mario Party, both of which could be described as astoundingly mediocre. Still, they're better than nothing. Oh, and if you want a less technical option, there's always the modeling clay.

It seems whoever runs this facility hasn't put much of their budget toward entertainment. Fortunately for you, there's also a complaint box in the kitchen.

A Bonding Exercise:

The powers that be want everyone to try to get along here, so one morning, you might wake up to find a piece of paper slipped under their door.

An Ice Breaker Game

-someone with a scar
-someone with a weapon
-someone whose pants are too tight
-someone who eats something other than food
-someone whose smile can't be trusted
-someone who has betrayed another
-someone who has killed a person
-someone who will never lie

Talk to different people who meet all of these descriptions.
Anyone who succeeds will earn a chocolate bar.


They aren't lying. Anyone who succeeds in this will discover a quality chocolate bar has been delivered to their room the following morning, whether or not they were trying to complete the list. Considering the powers that be didn't ask you to turn in answers, it does beg the question of how they know you succeeded, and whether any of your guesses about who qualifies as which were accurate. You'll just have to wonder.

I don't know. The whole realm was full of evil and undead. Perhaps that's how they reward their followers and their followers...enjoy it?

[She's heard some people enjoy pain, not that she can understand that.]

[He definitely can understand that. Still...]

Can't say I know too many people who'd get off on headaches.

[She shrugs.] People are strange.

So, what is like where you're from?

Well. [He glances around the room then back to her.] A bit like here, except with less being stuck in one building all the time.

[If nothing else, most of the technology seems familiar enough. Beyond that... well, he's got plenty of entertaining stories, but for now he's not too inclined to go around advertising that he's Fae.]

[She nods and lets out a small "ah", but that otherwise tells her little. This place is strange, even without being stuck in one place, and has little in common with home.]

So just humans and strange technology.
