welcome to round two




T H E  W A R E H O U S E



Welcome to the 【 Warehouse 】.

Or at least, another side of the Warehouse. While unknowing to the new batch of test subjects, it's almost identical to the first group's. There are a few elevators (obviously shut tight), every window is bolted shut, surveillance cameras in every corner, and there's a giant door with a 9 painted on it. There are noticeable differences and one of them is just how dark it is.

The only source of artificial illumination in the lobby are a panel of florescent lights above the elevators, and the occasional flickering of the camera's LEDs. A few scattered and dying fire pits help provide a greater sense of visibility, but just by a slight margin. However, it's obvious to see (and to test) that all the doors are sealed tight and that there doesn't appear to be any apparent exits, which is quite a shame, really, considering that an exit would be quite desirable after noticing all the weapons littering the floor.

While they're not your typical weapons (no guns, no swords, no axes), all the items on the ground seems heavily used and splattered with blood: a shovel, a pitchfork, a rake, trowels, scissors, knives, and such on. Some have seen more bloodshed than others, but regardless, none of these items seem particularly new. They have all seen better days, and the same could be said about the test subjects.

Each and every character will awaken with various scrapes, bruises, and dried blood. The degree of injuries they may have on them will vary from character to character, but no one character will be unharmed. On top of that, they will all find a bracelet wrapped around their left wrists. It looks a lot like a digital watch, but characters will suspect it is broken, as the face is completely blank. There are two buttons on the top, but other than producing a satisfying click, pressing them does absolutely nothing. Trying to take it off is a futile effort as well, as they do not have a visible clasp for the characters to undo.

To make this entire situation worse, test subjects will recall nothing.

They may find objects that may resonate with them, that feel familiar in their hands, along with having a general idea of knowing just who they are (names, likes, dislikes, peeves, etc), but trying to remember what happened? Why they're here? Where they even are? It'd all be one giant blur and trying to force a memory only leads to a headache.

So, well, test subjects, better start figuring things out. Relying on your memories clearly isn't helping.

[ You wanna know what's great? Feeling like shit. A giant headache, multiple bruises, a nasty cut on your hand, it's awesome. It's totally rad, and Ellie recommends it 100% for anyone. In fact, when she pushes herself up, he puts her head straight into her hands because shes just loving that migraine right now. It feels like someone smashed a vase over her or something similar. Whatever happened, it hurts like a motherfucker, and she cradles her head for a few seconds before she pulls them away, feeling something wet and warm soaking through her hair. Luckily(?) for her, waking up near a dying fire pit allows her to see that some asshole totally sliced the palm of her hand. ]

Shit...

[ Well, that's great. She totally loves waking up to random cuts she can't remember getting. She remains sitting, using her uninjured hand to hold her fucked up hand's wrist, and looks around. It's only then that she notices all the weapons and dried blood on the grounds, kick starting the small amount of panic in her stomach. ]

Oh, fuck.

[ ALL RIGHT THIS IS GREAT WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE TO WAKE UP 10/10, two thumbs up, five gold stars, will def come back and recommend. Ellie takes no time to stand up and find herself a knife or something to hold in self-defence because yeah... who the fuck are these other people and whaaaaat the fuck :/ ]

Hisoka got up looking relatively unruffled. Not because he was uninjured, but because it didn't seem to bother him. He picked up a knife, looked at it, licked a spot of blood off the back of his hand.

He felt strangely empty of feeling, which to him seemed stranger than waking up without his memories. Hisoka swept his hair back with one hand. His makeup was somewhat smudged, but he tried fixing it as best he could in the reflection on the knife.

He was dressed like a member of a circus troupe, or maybe a magician. It felt comfortable for him, not like a costume at all.

Wow, okay, did you just have to lick the blood off your hand like that?? Ellie was already feeling unsettled by this whole wake-up-with-unknown-injuries-in-a-dark-place nonsense and then she just had to have the misfortune of watching that. Thank god she found a knife earlier that she could use if Moe the Clown tried anything.

"Okay, could you be any creepier?"

[She's slow to awaken, or at least on the surface. Her eyes open only halfway, and she stares vacantly at her surroundings as she notes the pains all over her body, analyzing how sharp or dull they are, whether they felt like muscle strain or actual damage caused by a weapon. She can feel bruises caused by blunt objects on her legs, and something sharper on her cheek - a cut, perhaps?

She sits up slowly, her eyes bleary as they focus on the items around her. Bloody, dirtied weapons, all of them. And others waking up in a similar state around her, too. Her eyes widen as her vision sharpens, and she utters a small cry, stifling it only a half-second too late.

Eek-!

[Kaoru wakes up and immediately wishes he hadn't. There's the bad kind of ache in his muscles, like running too far and stretching too little. The skin of his cheek and down his back feels hot and swollen, the watch-thing around his wrist is too tight, and something damp is rolling down his calf and seeping into his trainers. ...And that's about all he can say about himself, period, save for that the

Letting out a long hiss of breath through gritted teeth, he rolls (mostly) smoothly to his feet, staring at the others. Worse than the pain, they look completely unfamiliar, and he squares his shoulders, digs in rather than shrink back. Eventually he pipes up, voice low and gruff, but loud enough to carry.]

Who are all you people?

*If Maria could only chalk up her aching skull to drinking too much, it would make so much more sense. She could scold herself for being a dumbass, take something for her head and go lay down. Except no, she has no idea where she is, why the hell her arms hurt or who the hell is freaking out next to her in this barely lit room.*

Don't...don't scream so loud, kid. *Bearings, right, what are those? Maria will go look for them.*

[ She jumps slightly hearing Maria. Okay, so, when did you come alive? Before Ellie could find herself a knife or something. ]

I'm-- I'm not screaming, okay?

[ It's pretty weak response, considering that Ellie can normally think of some better lines than that, but what else can she say right now? Not much... ]

[personal profile] hisokathemagician 2015-05-31 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Pardon?" Hisoka was a pretty tall guy, but he didn't seem to mind looking down to speak to Ellie. He didn't dumb down his manner of speaking, either, though probably Ellie wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway since they'd barely exchanged two lines between them.

"It seems there was quite a party. You wouldn't happen to know how we ended up here, would you? I'm afraid I can't quite recall ♣."

What a polite fellow...
hisokathemagician: (Default)

[personal profile] hisokathemagician 2015-05-31 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Careful," said Hisoka. He had been kneeling over her (to assess her condition? to frisk her for weapons? something else?), and stood up as she started to sit up.

"There are quite a few sharp objects about. ♦"

[ All right, so, maybe approaching Rio while holding a knife isn't the best idea... but Ellie at least makes sure to hold out her arms and points the knife to the side as a sign that she's not going to suddenly go on a stab-mania. (She could put it down but that doesn't seem to be a super good idea...) ]

Hey, uh, are you all right?

[ ... Probably not, but this is a better way to start off a conversation than 'oh shit you're stuck here too? fuuuuck'. ]

She gives another squeak, shifting to the side and just narrowly kneeing a pair of shears. Her hands curl up tightly by her chest, and to say she looks terrified would be an understatement. Tears are already beginning to prick at the edges of her eyes.

"Wh-who are you? Where are we? Wh-what's going on?"

Her entire voice shakes with fear.
elliexir: ((`^´))

[personal profile] elliexir 2015-05-31 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
She just gave a half-shrug.

"No idea. I was going to ask you that." A small pause. "Well, at least until I saw you lick your hand. Didn't want to interrupt your meal or something." No seriously, that was super weird.

[personal profile] 1st_response_is_anger 2015-05-31 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate that. Honestly. *All right, seriously, what the hell was going on? Uncertain lighting, blood on her sleeves and why did her arms feel like someone took a cheese grater to them?*

What is all this? *And why the hell were there sharp instruments strewn about? Sharp bloody instruments.*

[She gives another faint sound of distress at the sight of that knife, hurriedly scooting back about an inch. It's terribly ineffective.]

E-everything hurts, and I don't even know where I am... D-did you do all of this?

[Her voice wavers, and it looks like she's about to cry.]
elliexir: ((。-`︵´-。))

[personal profile] elliexir 2015-05-31 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Man, just how many people were here? ]

Maybe you should tell us first.
1st_response_is_anger: (well)

[personal profile] 1st_response_is_anger 2015-05-31 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
*Yeesh. Having a young girl wake up startled in this place was one thing, but having his crazy clown wake up here was entirely another. Did he just lick that knife? Clearly a freak and probably the asshole who cut up her arms. Except...she can't remember. But if it was anyone in this room, it was probably him. Hisoka earned Maria's evil eye.*
1st_response_is_anger: (What?!)

[personal profile] 1st_response_is_anger 2015-05-31 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
*Had she been drinking? Why else did it feel like someone had removed her recent recollections with an ice cream scoop to the brain? On playing further rounds of "What the hell happened here?", her forearms were injured with slashes but the cuts were dried up. Oh, and Maria apparently wasn't the only contestant playing the game.*

Does anyone know what's going on?
hisokathemagician: (Hisoka: ♥)

[personal profile] hisokathemagician 2015-05-31 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hisoka seemed to feel the glare, because he slooowly turned around to smile at Maria. Maybe it was a mild smile? Hard to tell.

"I can feel your eyes on me from across the room. ♠"
Edited (oh yeah btw, he didn't lick the knife. he licked a cut on his hand.) 2015-05-31 03:27 (UTC)
hisokathemagician: (Hisoka: come at me bro)

[personal profile] hisokathemagician 2015-05-31 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
"My meal?" He seemed genuinely puzzled by this for half a moment. "Oh, you mean my hand. Didn't you know? That's what you're supposed to do when you have a cut. It helps your cuts heal ♦."

Well I mean it was kind of true, it helped with blood clotting or some junk like that. Hisoka probably just did it because he was a creeper though lbr.
hisokathemagician: (Hisoka: you poor thing)

[personal profile] hisokathemagician 2015-05-31 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, Hisoka was literally the worst candidate for comforting any kind of crying girl. Sorry Rio.

"My name is Hisoka. As for the rest, I'm not sure. Maybe there was a party? It must have been exciting one..." It was such a pity he couldn't remember it.

*Whoever had kidnapped them was a total creeper. Two young girls? Someone needed a punch to the face. Maria, who'd been conscious enough to find some of her misplaced bearings, kept her hands out where they were visible.*

Hey, you just wake up here too?

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-05-31 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[he stares piercingly at the (rude!) girl, perpetual scowl not fading as he susses out her...what? honestly he's not really sure what he's doing, so]

Kaidou. Who're you?
fushuuu: (oishi)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-05-31 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know anything?

[despite the boy's gruff voice, his tone and posture is fairly respectful, if edging on dismayed. someone at least can deal properly with their elders, at least?]

Or, do you know anyone here?
