[ You wake to a comfortable silence, warmth and softness surrounding you. The room is dim, but a little light comes into the room. Should you check, the room has an ornate clock that tells you it is still early-- only a few minutes after seven in the morning. Although it should be no difficult task to assess that this room is unfamiliar to you in every way; your last memories will be a bit herder to focus in on. But the haze will gradually lift and you will be left with a few simple facts.

This bed-- this room is not your own. Nor is it the last place you were.

You are not alone. There are at least two other people sleeping in beds like yours in this room.

Now that you are awake it is time to explore. As you do you will realize just how many others there are in this building. Meet with them and you will probably soon realize none of them know any more than you do. Still-- considering the situation it may benefit you greatly to work together.

It is likely that you will see portraits of some familiarity positioned throughout the building as well as some confusing writing posted in each of your rooms as well as just outside of the Ballroom.

Looking around you will notice that you have practically full reign of the house-- with one exception. It would appear that right now the office is locked. ]

I'm afraid that's not an option. You're going to have to live here for an indefinite amount of time, regardless of death coming or not.

How come? Pretty sure I didn't sign up for an extended stay.

You were all chosen at random. You didn't have to sign up.

...You squidnapped us!

Think of it as a chance to broaden your horizons. There are many here who are in a similar situation. Would it not be wise to learn from each other?

All I wanna learn right now is the quickest way to the exit, thanks!

Well, the swiftest way out of here is to kill someone and get away with it!

Besides that.

[She doesn't like you or your completely unfresh style, weirdo human.]

Then you'll have to be patient, I'm afraid.

[ I MEAN HE'S CLEARLY NOT HUMAN, GIVEN. OTHER THREADS. But he certainly looks like one. ]

Wow, for someone who's supposed to be answering questions, you're, like, no help at all.

[whatever, all you non cephalopods look alike anyway.]
