DAY 00

[thecomputer]

[Good afternoon, Citizens!

Your consciousness blurrily returns as the transport tube your comatose body was stored in opens up, admitting you access to an unfamiliar room. One wall is covered by vertical tubes, one occasionally sliding open to admit another confused person. The wall across from you has a sign saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB", with an arrow pointing at a red doorway in the corner. The wall to your right contains an unlabeled, dusty, and poorly-lit hallway with blue walls, floor, and ceiling. You can't see the end from here.

Somewhere on your person, you will find a thin, smartphone-sized object that wasn't there before. One side of it is lit up with a red background and a number of disabled menu items. Most of the screen is taken up by another message saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB".

What is this place, anyway? And who are these people stumbling in through the transport tube array?]

[Wherever he goes, Simon is hovering nearby. He's not trying the food or engaging in much else aside from people-watching, though.]

[ Knightley's just gonna shake his head and poke at the food. ]

Not even Money would like this stuff....

[murimurimuri]

You didn't try any, did you? What if it's poisoned?

[staunton]

Simon, we were brought here to participate in their bullshit game. Poisoning us would defeat the purpose.

[murimurimuri]

You don't know that! You can't trust somebody who goes around kidnapping people!

[staunton]

I'm pretty sure they have the common sense to not discard their pieces before the game even starts.

[murimurimuri]

What if it's slow-acting? Or drugged? I'm not eating strange food that I don't know where it came from, nowaynoway!
