INTRODUCTION

A sound wakes you up, muffled yet somehow near - the sound of a trumpet being played, from somewhere outside the building you're in. There's no fog, no headache as you greet a new day - only the confusion of being in an unfamiliar cabin, lying on top of an unfamiliar bunk bed in somewhere that is certainly not where you last closed your eyes. You're also pretty sure you weren't wearing this outfit before you somehow arrived here - so that's an uncomfortable thought. Yet, the cabin you're in is comfortable, but looking in the steamer trunks near the bunks will only result in finding normal toiletry items and sets of underwear and more of the same strange uniform. Your personal items have been stripped away - well, in the cases they're not absolutely essential for you to live.

Stepping outside, you find yourself in a very forested (and ungodly humid) area, outlooking a wide lake - there's cabins and other buildings next to yours, but the main thing that'll most likely attract attention are the three adults standing out in front of the largest building, bearing the name 'LODGE' on it in large letters. A woman, an older man, and a man in full priest garb, tooting away on a trumpet - your wakeup call, apparently. Just in front of them is a picnic table littered with markers and 'MY NAME IS' nametags.

Maybe you should go and demand some answers? Or will you just decide to explore...and try to find a way out of this weird camp?

[He snorts again, but this time there's a smirk to go along with it]

That's more accurate... [He pauses] I can't believe some of those assholes were even thinking about killing the Pastor. I mean, I think he's an evil piece of shit, too, but that doesn't mean we should just kill him!

[le_mat]

Yeah.

[He thinks back to Kamoshida, how close he and Ryuji were to just letting him die due to his crimes. If Ann hadn't decided his punishment and humiliation would be a better end... well, who can say.]

I think Ichigo has a point - *if* he turns out to be some kind of monster. But if he's a person he needs to be punished - jumping right to murder is too much.

... but never mind it. That's back in Cabin 2. I'm not going to drag it back in here too.

[He opens his mouth to respond when Ren says that they're leaving that in Cabin 2. That makes him pause. He stares at the other boy for a moment, blinking. He's never known anyone else who actually understood that concept. Richie cared, but he would run a conversation into the ground unless someone told him to shut up.]

O-okay. [...] Thanks.

[he lets silence fall for a moment]

So, uh, where are you from?

[le_mat]

Me? Hmmm, a little nowhere town in the Yamanashi prefecture, Japan. It's pretty quiet and boring, honestly.

[itsagazebo]

Japan? Fuck, I think most of the people here are from Japan. That's so weird.

[he pauses for a moment]

Quiet and boring, though. It sounds like my home town.

[le_mat]

Yeah, it is a little weird - if it was everyone that'd be one thing... huh.

I think almost all small towns are the same. Especially if you have to live there.

[itsagazebo]

[He nods]

Richie and me, we're from a town called Derry in Maine. It's on the East coast of the U.S. It's usually a pretty boring place.

[He pauses]

I wonder why it only took us and not anyone else.

[le_mat]

... if they took one of my friends with me I'd be pretty freaked out too. Who knows how they ended up picking people.

[itsagazebo]

I dunno... I'm... I'm not cut out for this kinda thing. Bill woulda been a lot more helpful.
