You wake up in the middle of what seems to be a warehouse with several others, a warehouse with several doors and hallways that seem to go on for miles. There's no end in sight, and the rooms come in all shapes and sizes, containing everything from the most functional to the most confusing-and in some cases, outright dangerous.

But you had to get here somehow. Even if you don't know how. There has to be a way out- all those exit signs have to lead to somewhere, right?

Right?

Amalie frowned as she sat up, looked around in confusion. This wasn't her bedroom, that was for sure- the room around her was larger, for one thing. Rather large. Various boxes and crates piled around the space, and several hallways leading off to who-knows where. Under her was a cement floor. and people in variuos states of consiousncess were around her in no particular order.

"What...on earth...?" She muttered in confusion, as she rubbed her glasses in confusion.

Kieren groaned as he awoke. He didn't remember his campsite being this hard-
Oh, that explained it. This wasn't his campsite. It was decidedly not a place he would usually find hismelf, unless he was desperate for supplies and someone had told him to go to a-

"Is this a storage unit?" He asked no one in particular. He glanced at the brunette who couldn't have been mroe then 19 also looking just as confused.

Melissa woke with a start, not unusually. Except for the fact she was on the floor, and not on her comfy bed, and her back was screaming at her that it didn't like the floor. "Well. . . This is certainly strange. But at least I missed the geometry test today." Melissa whispered to herself. She smoothed her hair, bothered by the fact there was no brush around her to maintain it. In truth, she was quite bothered by whatever had happened, since, of course, it's not normal to wake up in what looked like a very large storage space. With other people. How did it take so long to realize there were others in the warehouse? That complicates things. She turned to the people who were already conscious, all looking just as confused as she felt.

Lyra opened her eyes slowly, rubbing them with one hand while grabbing for her glasses with the other. She was on the ground for some reason, and the floor was hard concrete instead of carpet. She grabbed her glasses from the ground and the world came into focus. Wherever she was, the lighting was terrible. She gazed up at the ceiling, high above her head. We're not in Kansas anymore...

Jasper woke with a start, expecting to hear the ringing of camp's church bells and the shouting of the counselors. But it was oddly quiet, which was unheard of considering how packed the camp was. He looked around, realizing he wasn't alone. He was in some sort of big... warehouse, apparently, stretching as far as the eye could see, with crates and boxes stacked high. He stood up. What was this? Some kind of crazy trick? He knew the camp directors were crazy but not this crazy. He turned, taking in his surroundings. This was nuts. What was going on?

"Uh....hello?" Amalie asked nervously as people started to sit up. "Does....anyone know what's going on? I..don't remember going to sleep here of all things, and I don't recognize this building..."

Kieren squinted at the brunette. "Yeah, this looks like the backrooms of a bulk store. Definitely not somewhere I'd be, so...d'y'all think we got kidnapped or something?" He looked around at the others. "'Cuz, like, I really wanna go back to studying magpies." He flexed his fingers and legs, checking if anything felt off, but deeming everything fine he stood up to get a better look around.

"Likely, if we were kidnapped, we would have noticed right? Somehow, some way, we would have felt being carried out of wherever we each were we would have felt something. Woken up, possibly. Unless we were extremely drugged before said kidnappers took us, we should have felt some way we were transported to this place." Melissa said, matter-of-factly, as she quickly got off the cement floor and dusted herself off. "I'll be looking into the boxes for food and water, if anyone would like to join me, they can. Also, you may want to check on the other people, just to make sure they aren't dead."

(...guess who crashed so hard they forgot which character they used- please replaced every isntance of "a brunette named Amalie" with "a nonbinanry vibe named Reni" while i go take a nap and eat oce creamto recover braincells )


Reni dodged the flailing hand. "Can you,,,maybe not? Pwrosnal space? Thanks?" They asked neevoussly. "I think we're all just confused here, to be honest..."

Kieran was starting to poke around at the nearest boxes. "Yeah, maybe...but i mean, anything's possible. Does anyone know what this place is though? Like, are there cameras here? There's some pretty nifty ones noww, the kind that can be hidden really well and used remotely. Hello?!" He waves at the celling just in caaw there's a hidden cam there. "Hellloooooo? Anyone there?"

Lyra decides that almost instantly that there are way too many people here and walks off to investigate the crates near her that seem to be glowing. She lifts the lid cautiously, blinking as light floods her vision, almost blinding her. She closes the lid of the crate with a shudder and blinks away the black spots filling her vision. What was she thinking? Whatever's in there could be dangerous. In spite of this, she continues to poke around the crates. Maybe she could find something useful.

Jasper, on the other hand, thrives as the center of attention. He examines each person still on the ground and those who are awake, deciding who he wants to approach first. This certainly wasn't a trick, so why was he here? In a moment of spontaneity, he approached someone at random and tapped their shoulder.
"Hello? Any idea why we're here, or are you as confused as I am?"
