WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL
WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL (43 remain) Whatever each character was doing—chatting with friends, going to bed, saving the world—ceases. In fact, it's likely nothing more than a groggy memory now, as they open their eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently, they took a nap right in the middle of a small town, plopped outside on the paved road. Ow? Oh, but it looks like they've been given a goodie bag. Everyone likes gifts, right? Inside, it contains:
- packets of tea - one unlabeled pill - a rock that resembles the galaxy - if they're of age, a mini bottle of alcohol; if they're underage, a can of Mountain D*w Baja Blast instead - a singular condom - a single random one of these pillows (how did this fit?) - a handheld device Should they boot up the device, the screen helpfully informs them that it's a Participant Help System (PHS). Not much on it, but it does have a few apps, including a memo one for taking notes. There's also a messaging system, though it's only capable of receiving messages, not sending any. As a matter of fact, there's an alert for a new message already. Maybe it'll explain what's going on. Good evening, everyone. Uh, how are we sure theyāre arriving in the evening? Just say āhelloā! Or āgreetingsā! Greetings is fancy, right? Oh thatās true. Greetings, everyone. Thatās better? Yes! Except maybe we take out the thatās better part in the final version. Will do! Er, what? Unfortunately, it seems as though that's the only info they're given for now. In the meantime, why not explore the surrounding area? A number of buildings are locked, and the Planetarium appears to be closed, but there's enough to keep the characters occupied for a day or two. They might even want to get to know their fellow "participants" better, while they're at it. |

anyway soo-won has also put on some stupid, stupid sunglasses. shutters with very narrow slits so he can't actually see anything? instead he'll react automatically, moving to steady the person who just bumped into him
who he cannot say]
Oh - you needn't apologize. [a beat] Shall we see if we can fetch you a glass of water?
no subject
but it's not possible, is it? if it was him, surely he'd know her. and he's talking like he doesn't recognize her at all, so it has to be someone else. also, this is probably some kind of weird afterlife, given ... the last thing she remembers, and there's no way soo-won is dead. there's just no way!
(she doesn't consider that he might also be having sunglass problems.)]
...that might not be a bad idea. Thank you.
no subject
[though he's still wearing his stupid fucking shades as he glances about.]
Perhaps toward the front of the store... Are you able to walk?
no subject
[this is worse than a sore throat and your legs are jacked up too, yona.
but, stubbornly, she's going to walk! and hopefully not bump into anything else because of her stupid shades as they head to the front of the store.]
...what's your name? Mine is Lena.
[LIAR. i'm pretending this is before she's looked at the profiles. she'll start giving out her real name after she realizes there's no point lying about it.]
no subject
going to go ahead and follow after her, careful as he watches her gait. through the shades he thinks that he sees some red hair but - he's already met another girl with red hair in this place.
and he certainly isn't meant to be wary of a girl named lena.]
Ah, you can call me Won.
[easily,]
Did you come from somewhere difficult before this, Lena?
no subject
[that's... one heck of a coincidence, actually. (also, seriously? "won"? just using half of his actual name? what kind of alias is that? ...granted, he started using it when he was a kid, but still.)]
You could say that. But... I need to get back. [kind of... looking around... there's a vague shape that looks like it might be something she can sit on up near the front, so here she is, sitting on the edge of a display.] The sooner the better.
no subject
Very well then, let's see if we can get you back in better shape than when you left.
[this much he says amiably, agreeably, as he would to just about any other stranger he's met in this place. soo-won likes people, he gives kindness easily.
he removes his shades so that it's easier for him to go and locate water for her and pauses.
and then he moves to depart with hasty steps. right. water.
as if she were anyone else.]

yona frowns, and eases the sunglasses off her face, just in time to catch sight of his back as he vanishes out the door to look for water.]
