Here, here, here we go

[monoguests]

[You want to know what kind of sleep you had? Quite frankly, it doesn't matter, not when it's interrupted by the sound of a cuckoo clock. When you're awake enough to look over and see what woke you up, you can see a small bear figurine popping in and out o- wait, what? It suddenly occurs to you that this isn't at all where you went to sleep last night.

But...it's nice enough. It's a wooden cabin, and seems to have been decorated with neat matching furniture. Your rather small bed is flanked by the cuckoo clock, and which for the life of you, you can't figure out how to shut off...which doesn't matter much when it stops a few moments later regardless. The time reads 7 AM, which might very well be far too early for your tastes.

When you actually start to look around a bit, you may or may not find one personal object on a nearby dresser, but more importantly, you might eventually notice is a small device somewhere on your person. If you can figure out how to work it, pressing the screen will reveal a profile containing information about yourself, and scrolling down reveals several different ones for strangers. It only serves to raise more and more questions - just what is is going on?

Suddenly, without warning, a screeching sound interrupts the last of whatever peace you might have had, and a voice blares out throughout the entire camp:]

Rise and shine, campers! Please make your way to the Mess Hall by 8 AM sharp!

[There's another screeching sound, and...music begins to play. It's not loud enough to drown out your speaking, but it's annoying, especially when you take into consideration that it doesn't stop playing. Ever. It just keeps repeating. Background music! It seems to be coming from the loudspeaker in the middle of the camp, and does generally get quieter the further you move from in. In addition, you'll find that the music seems to disappear entirely when you enter some buildings - such as the Theater and the previously-mentioned mess hall.

Speaking of which? When you finally exit your cabin, you'll find your feet meeting a cobblestone path - and down this path are more and more cabins. Going beyond the path, you'll find that nearly all the ground in the area is grassy, but luckily, there are a few dirt paths here and there to help you get to where you need to go. If you ignore the oddities, like the giant stone walls that surround the camp or the constantly-burning bonfire? It's almost kind of serene.

The sun is shining, and it's a lovely day for camping. It's time to mix and mingle.]

[ooc: Smash Ronpa is now open! This intro log will function as IC meet and greet. Use it to get to know your fellow classmates, ask questions, and check out your surroundings a bit. Your headmaster will be making his appearance shortly, upupupu~]

[Well that's the first time he's had answers demanded from him by a cute little girl with a stuffed animal. At least with so much force and vitriol. He only looks taken aback for a moment]

If I knew, I would have already left. ... I take it you too woke up in a different place than you went to sleep.

[totaldrag]

I wouldn't bother talking to you if the situation was different.

[She does enjoy his color scheme, though! He's absolutely the cutest camper besides her. A+ job on looking cuddly, Shadow.]

[chaoscontrol]

[A+ color choices and surly attitude. This sharp egde is Shadow Approved.

And he may look cuddly, but it's probably not a good idea. His quills aren't just for show. Probably. Maybe

Straight to the point. He likes this girl]

What was your location prior to waking up here?

[totaldrag]

[Edge buddies? Edge buddies.]

My mansion. One that, for the record, happens to be much better decorated than these horrendous cabins.

[chaoscontrol]

From your home, then. [he glances back at the cabins and pins his ears back] They're... rustic. Can't help but notice there's no bathrooms inside, either. Wonderful. [he looks back at Ashely and folds his arms] I can't say I'm not concerned. My last known location was a secure government facility. Breaking into a mansion and kidnapping someone is one thing. Breaking into where I was is another entirely. [a growl] And then managing to take me by surprise--!

[totaldrag]

The idea that someone would physically kidnap us is nothing short of ludicrous. I suspect that we're dealing with something of a magical nature.

[And remember: she's always right.]

[chaoscontrol]

[he hadn't considered the supernatural, but... it would certainly make sense

Not that he believes in magic; that's just something that hasn't quite been explained by science yet]

But to what end?

[he knows why HE was kidnapped; he's an important government person. The non-humans could be explained, too, as experimental subjects. But young girls? A boxer? ]

This rag-tag group doesn't seem to have anything in common.

[totaldrag]

Have you ever considered taking a look at your...handbook?

[She hesitates, not knowing exactly what to call it.]

Regardless of whether or not we have anything in common, it's quite clear that this has been planned.

[chaoscontrol]

What's in this thing -- [he shakes the stupid little device] -- is absolutely worthless. It tells me nothing, except that we're being toyed with. Why? [he sneers and grips the device, wanting to break it. But then he won't have ANYthing, so he resists the urge] If I could just get in contact with G.U.N. I could get us all out of this miserable place.

[totaldrag]

Maybe those anger issues of your's are not letting you look at the bigger picture here. Namely, that there's clearly someone or something that has a vested interest in us.

Kind of stalker-ish.

[chaoscontrol]

The information in the profiles, you mean.

[those did concern him. Where did they even get that sort of information? Granted, it wasn't exactly classified, but...]

[totaldrag]

Of course. Whoever has organized this is probably a huge fan of us.

[chaoscontrol]

"Fan". I don't think I have any "fans". That's the blue hedgehog's thing. [he shakes his head] An experiment of some kind would be my best guess.

[totaldrag]

Hm. I'm not entirely certain. The whole ordeal is unpleasantly tongue-in-cheek regardless.

[chaoscontrol]

I suppose with no means of escape, all we can do is [urrggghhjkfjsdjlgsdhsk] wait and see if more clues reveal themselves. Such as what might be strong enough to block the energy of this Chaos Emerald. [he holds up the green gem, glowing only dimly]

[totaldrag]

[...]

It's a rock.

[chaoscontrol]

[equally deadpan in return;] Yes. Unfortunately that's all it is, right now. A very pretty rock, and maybe a nightlight. Normally it's a very powerful artifact. It's cruel to dangle a way out just out of my grasp.

[totaldrag]

So, it's a magical artifact? Hm. Perhaps there's a way to restore any properties associated with it. Unfortunately, I don't have any of my spellbooks with me.

[chaoscontrol]

[he nods] As ancient as the world itself. There are seven of these in total, but the power of just one would be plenty to get everyone out of here and turn this place into a smoking crater. [Spellbooks? Again, not a big fan of "magic", but he's not going to spit on any possible outlets] So you're some sort of sorceress?

[totaldrag]

...Interesting. I'm well-acquainted with the world's magical objects, yet, I can't claim to have heard of Emeralds with that power.

Also, the correct term is witch.

[chaoscontrol]

I have a theory about that as well. I have asked many where they come from, and I have not recognized a single location. Though I'm not sure which is more likely; that everyone here is delusional or that multiverse theory is real and in play here.

... Right, witch. Apologies. [he was GOING to use that term, but he didn't want to offend her. Because he thinks she's pretty cool]

[totaldrag]

[Shhhh. She takes pride in it.]

I am familiar with the concept of other worlds, but should that prove true, it would be the first time I've encountered it on any scale.

...When you went around earlier, did anybody mention possible reasons for our being here? [As antisocial as she is, Shadow is proving himself interesting enough. Kind of like a more intelligent Red. She can get behind that.]

[chaoscontrol]

If whoever brought us here has the power to pull us in from multiple worlds, we may be in more trouble than I thought. [that sort of time and space manipulation was only possible with all the Chaos Emeralds. Even then, it was a stretch.]

[he pauses, recalling his experiences with the other campers] No. Most of them seem just as perplexed. My best guess is an experiment of some sort. It would explain the security cameras and containment. Like bees in a jar. And my guess is it won't be too long before someone come along to shake that jar.

[totaldrag]

It's a valid assumption, but it's also one that needs to be proven before anything else.

[Pause. Was it even worth taking...Luigi's opinion into account?] One of the others here, the one with the green hat and the mustache, mentioned a potential culprit - one I'm vaguely familiar with. I've heard no potential suspects otherwise.

[chaoscontrol]

[he nods in agreement. Thank the gods there is someone here who has sense and a level head.]

I haven't met that one yet. [he crosses his arms] Who is his suspect? [Shadow briefly considered Eggman... but the Doctor was far too self absorbed to not have his logo all over everything. Plus, it was much too green here]
