[ 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. ]

[ His first immediate thought is how unusual this guy appears to be, but pushes that aside as he wasn't the kind of person who just judged others by their appearances. ]

It is.

[ Gray eyes blinked almost owlishly for a moment before he shook his head. ]

Afraid not. I was just wondering what it would be like if I was able to learn to play it. Another hobby wouldn't hurt.

Ah.

[May as well make some polite conversation.]

And what are your current hobbies, then? If we are all going to be trapped here, we may as well get to know each other.

You have a point.

[ Akira takes a second to muse over all the different things he did back 'home' before arriving here. ]

Collecting replicas of model guns and knives, [ That's one way to word it. Though there is truth to it, however. ] playing video games, stealing treasures, reading, helping a friend with his art...

[ Why yes he'd deliberately slipped that one tidbit in there. Still doubting people would believe what he said he was anyway. ]

[He caught onto the words "model guns and knives", "treasures", and "art."]

Is that so? What particular sorts of replica weaponry do you collect? Fantasy, video games, historical antiques?

Ah... closer to the last one. They look like the real thing if you didn't know any better. Really well made.

[ Why yes he's going with it. Simply because he can. ]

[That might be a bad idea, friend. Guess who is probably grinning like a maniac under that mask right now.]

Oh, yes! Please, tell me of your collection! I have a great interest in the cultural value of weapons and the like.

Are there any weapons based off those used in famous wars? Ritual knives? Ancient artifacts?
