Mingle
   35 DOODZ REMAIN   
A warm welcome to new heroes!

You wake up in a bed, big enough to fit you, no matter your size. Mind your head as you remove yourself from the bed. Getting out of bed, you see dozens and dozens of identical capsule sized "rooms". It seems like it's just you and the other souls who've only recently arrived.

Your usual outfit is folded neatly in the capsule, and your item from home is set aside in your room. It seems whatever force brought you here decided to put you in a superhero themed kigu (Superman, Batman, Captain America, etc).

The lobby of the hotel is not staffed, but there is a single newspaper found in the seating area. There's not too much to explore outside of the capsule hotel at the moment. Just outside is a wall of vending machines, and everything else is taped off with caution tape and small blue penguin-like creatures telling you not to go any further. "It's dangerous, dood!" These penguins are running around with what look like building materials, ducking underneath the caution tape to start rebuilding an absolutely wrecked city.

One of the creatures stands in front of the hotel, "Welcome to Oceanside City, dood! Take these and don't lose them. Sorry the team leads couldn’t meet you yet, they’re busy..."

They hand you a bag with:
  • A smartphone in a case of your team's color, emblazoned with the team's animal
  • Change for the vending machines
  • A boxed lunch
With that, the creature sends you on your way. Time to get to know your new home.
Good morning, and welcome to your intro mingle!

To ensure that every student in Trinity grows up safe and receives a quality education.

I don't know what I was expecting, but quality education was definitely not one of them.

That also kind of implies stuff isn't working out wherever you're from.

What makes you say that?

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you guys want to ensure every student grows up safe and receives a quality education, it makes me think that some don't grow up safe and don't receive a quality education.

[ Shrugs. ]

I do just have the impression that factions fight for a cause, though. Maybe things are fine wherever you are and it's about keeping a standard. It's not like I know anything.

We're more about maintaining a functional system, not fixing a broken one. Don't you have organizations like that where you're from? Like, ones that are succeeding in keeping things good?

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. None that I know of.

[ Just answered like it's a normal thing. ]

If there are any out there then they're not succeeding or their influence isn't big enough.

Eh? Is your school in total ruins or something?
perennation: (pic#16720336)

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It doesn't exist anymore.

These days, it's a luxury to go to school. If you go to one, it means you live in a decent settlement, but you never know how long that'll last.

[personal profile] eleisoned 2023-09-17 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
So things are bad where you're from.
perennation: (pic#16720237)

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
That's right.

And hearing that things seem to be so different between us is really laying it on me that we're not from the same place. Might as well be not from the same world if things are good enough to be maintained wherever you're from.

After talking to a few other people here... That's exactly my running theory. The differences in the ways we've lived don't add up, even for being from different cities.

[ which is as big a distance as she can fathom! ]

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, sanity check. How weird is all of this?

[ America is already big for him. ]

Scale of one to ten... Maybe an eight? Nine?
perennation: (pic#16720267)

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
High enough, but how is this not a full ten?

[ WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH ]
eleisoned: (pic#16709916)

[personal profile] eleisoned 2023-09-17 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know...? I guess it's just not as hectic as it could be...
perennation: (pic#16720339)

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... The bar is low.

Breaking it down into pieces, it's really not that odd! This is an ordinary capsule hotel staffed by ordinary civilians and outside there's ordinary construction.

The kidnapping is odd, and the range of victims is certainly strange... But it could be stranger.

[personal profile] perennation 2023-09-17 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ordinary.

[ Girl. ]

I think a better way to say it is that it's peaceful. For now.
eleisoned: (pic#16709909)

[personal profile] eleisoned 2023-09-17 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if it stops being peaceful, it'll still be pretty ordinary.

Isn't this supposed to be hero related? The app says "hero database."

I'm just going to be prepared for abnormal.

It's smart to be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected, right?

But combat wouldn't exactly be unexpected.
