A few things.

First, I need to know if there are any non-humans in this place. If my crew is here, I have to find them. If you're on my crew...you better be alive.

Second, does the name "reaper" or "collector" mean anything to anyone?

...

Third, I need to find a towel, stat. I feel like I just got dragged out of the damn ocean.

[last but definitely not least...]

I think I'm a little too old to be still in school and I think someone's screwing around with my head, can I get an explanation on this shit sooner rather than later? I don't like it.

Comments

Thanks.

[she looks...young. definitely someone who should be here, but she takes the towel when it's given to her and starts to rub her hair with it.]

And that's what I'd like to know too. I showed up here like this. Last I checked, I hadn't jumped into any oceans recently.

[long sigh.]

It's okay. I'm a "get to the point" sort of person anyway. I'm Jane Shepard.

So, um- there's been a lot of us here trapped starting in... March? Yeah, March. Something is barring us from leaving through the front door or the windows, and we can't go past certain points in the courtyard. There's been a lot of people, including the ones I told you about, who um, have gone missing... the natives to this place will act like they've just transferred schools or something, but... ( though she's been trying to give information readily, she trails off here. for her credit though, she only looks away- down to the ground- for a few seconds before returning ton attempt at a steady gaze. ) They're dead. We've all seen it happen to somebody. ... I, uh, did see someone with a purple faceplate recently, though?

( it's kind of hard to miss! )

You're not the only adult here, but you're probably gonna be treated like a student like they are too.

What the hell...

[she kind of mutters it because god, this is a lot to take in. suddenly being an adult in a school seems a lot less weird when all of this is going on.

it sure is something. it's kind of overwhelming actually, but she does hear something that takes absolute first priority.]

Purple faceplate? Was her name Tali, by any chance?

[mermaidcursed]

Yeah! Yeah. It's. It's a lot and it super sucks. But we're still here.

( which is more than a lot of people she's seen in yogen can say. nene thinks carefully though- she'd seen the person around, but. well. she's spent the month having a panic attack to be honest? approaching new people didn't seem like a good thing at the time. )

I'm sorry, I haven't spoken to them- her? Yet. But there's only so many places she can be, since... you know.

( they're all trapped here, and all. )
