WELCOME.
[ You've had a long two weeks. Perhaps you've been pushed to your limit, perhaps not--either way, you all deserve a break. Jax is your driver, and he seems to be doing okay with the whole driving thing, despite braking a little too hard.
Aside from that, the ride to your new housing, is...interesting. You've gotten to see some of the outside world. The city is just as hi-tech as the university with buildings of varying sizes lining the streets. It definitely feels like a busy city, though there aren't many people out and about on the streets despite there being so much to do and so many things to see.
Weird, considering it's still daytime.
Around twenty minutes pass, and then you notice that you're travelling outside of the city. It's a long road that seems to go on and on. There are smaller houses now, farms and fields...
In any case, you have time to sing a handful of karaoke songs, talk to your neighbor, take a nap--whatever you feel like doing. After around an hour of travel, the bus approaches some sort of wall. It's high, and looks similar to the wall that surrounded Fayflower University. Jax rolls down his window, seems to scan something--and then the walls slowly open.
He drives in, and you're greeted with a colorful assortment of houses. They're also quite large. Jax parks the bus on the road in front of them before he lets you all out. ]
You're all assigned to the Magenta house, the one on the far left. You can do whatever you want from here on out; just don't mess with anything you shouldn't be messing with.
[ Interpret that however you'd like to. Maybe you'd like to talk to Jax. Maybe you'd like to settle in. Or...maybe you'd like to explore. ]

There's a loud sigh, then: ]
No, Kasumi. I don't believe these are ghosts--it's the same thing that happened earlier. ...Erm, hello? You can hear us, right?
no subject
Yes! This is Yoosung Kim. I talked to someone before just like this....
[But neither of these voices sound exactly like 1 and 2.]
How many of you are there?
no subject
no subject
[He takes a moment to remember what they said, where to pick off. Something tightens in his throat, but he makes himself keep speaking.]
They were right. Things got so much worse...
no subject
...We heard everything you guys said, by the way. Kasumi and I, that is. Sorry that Brynn and Yui weren't exactly helpful.
no subject
So One and Two were Brynn and Yui, and Kasumi's with you... what's your name then?
no subject
Arden Garcia. You've probably heard of me.
no subject
no subject
[ Sheesh. ]
I'm pretty much the star of this university--or...what it used to be, anyway, before all of this happened.
no subject
[It's easier to have connections in school these days thanks to social networking, but he knows the type. Hopefully he's not a douche.]
Sorry about your fall from the sky. [It sounds a bit wry. Yoosung's name means shooting star.]
I found an old video that I guess Brynn and Yui narrated. Was this really a school for people with superpowers?
no subject
[ Sorry Yoosung. I am so sorry. ]
And yeah, it was? You don't know that, even though you guys are in the university?
no subject
Nope. They just said we're supposed to be heroes, but the way they go about it is a load of crap... hmph.
[That was an audible pout. He'd like to ask more about the powers, but it doesn't seem like the most important thing right now, as much as he's curious about the possibility that he's actually a mutant.]
It was just the "entrance exam." And six of us are already... dead.
[He feels cold and hurt as he says it. But he endures, forcing out more words.]
I-It sounded like you guys knew that'd happen. I want to know what else you know.
no subject
He does fall silent, though, for a good moment. ]
...Dead, huh.
[ He's lost some of that edge in his tone; now he sounds legitimately concerned. ] I don't know what's happening over there, but ▒▒▒▒
no subject
Is it not the same?
no subject
[ It's starting to get worse, like when Brynn and Yui had contacted them the first time. Arden's voice keeps phasing in and out. ]
I'll figure it out.
no subject
[He's a little disappointed though, it sounds like they don't know as much as he thought about their situation. Maybe it's time for another angle. Even if the static is bad, he can always keep trying.]
Well, how did you guys get trapped then?
