[paradiseunboxed]

[new kid is wandering in a slowww circuit around the dorm, looking at everything with fascination, like he's never seen any of it before.

he looks about eighteen, dressed in plain white pajamas, with a mane of fluffy white hair spilling down his back.]

[rugpull]

[coming from the kitchen carrying a plate of like six sandwiches]

. . .

Guess yer gonna want one of these?

[paradiseunboxed]

[he just stares back at him for a longggg moment--

and then his stomach growls, answering for him]

...Yes.

[rugpull]

[holds out plate]

Just leave me one!

Sup, m'Shandy. Pretty new myself but I'll do my best t'look after ya.

[paradiseunboxed]

[he's been offered food, so he automatically reaches out to pick up the first sandwich, whichever one's nearest to him--though he immediately gets sidetracked from eating it by turning the sandwich around carefully in his hands, peering at the ingredients, squishing it gently to feel its texture.]

...Okay. Thank you very much.

...Um...

...I'll be in your care?

[rugpull]

Guess ya will be! Got any questions?

[identitypolitics]

[ oh it's that time again huh

she has a full mug of coffee in one hand and still looks a little tired. ]

Oh, hey there. When'd you wake up?

[paradiseunboxed]

...Um... I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Then I sat up and saw the phone. I read everything on it very carefully; it seemed important?

...I spent some time looking around the room, but there wasn't much in there, so that probably didn't take very long. The closet wouldn't open.

...Then I came outside, to look at everything here.

...There are a lot of things to look at, but I haven't explored the other rooms very much, so I don't think it's been too long. But I've been taking my time, so perhaps it has been.

...Then Shandy-kun came out of the kitchen and gave me a sandwich. And I've only eaten two bites, so it hasn't been that long since then, either.

[hmm. yes. he's pleased with this answer. time to go back to eating his sandwich.]

[identitypolitics]

...right. I guess there's a lot to see, just in here. I'm Saffron, and... man, you're taking this pretty well.

Do you remember anything?

[paradiseunboxed]

...Yes. I remember waking up, leaving the room, and so on, just as I've recounted to you.

...But I suspect you're asking about more than that.

[identitypolitics]

Yeah—specifically, anything that happened before all that. The reason why I'm asking is that—I think nearly all the rest of us, minus one? Initially woke up with no idea how we got here.

Shikon over there is the odd guy out—

[ she punctuates this by jerking her thumb in Shikon's direction ]

—if you want to ask him about different experiences, but we're mostly all in the same boat.

[thisismagrave]

[Oh!]

Hello.

[He is making sure to give a wide berth and any and all approaches will be slow.]

You just woke up, right?

[paradiseunboxed]

[he is watching his approach, but in a way that's more curious than wary]

...No. I've been awake for some time. I'm not exactly sure how long; I haven't been checking the clock on my phone, and I'm not wearing a watch.

...Though from your perspective, the length of time I've been awake is still probably short enough to mean that I've only "just" woken up.

[thisismagrave]

Yeah, basically that perspective thing.

How much has everyone explained? Have you started on a name?

[paradiseunboxed]

...Not too much. I read what was on the phone very carefully, though.

...I've been told that I should pick a color for my name. But I don't really care about colors. Or names. At least, I don't think I do.

...So, anything is fine.

[ he's getting a text ]

@LAVA: Pinging THE ONE WHO TRANSCENDS TIME with 32 bytes of data

[paradiseunboxed]

[he is preoccupied with looking through a box of chalk by the non-TV chalkboard and doesn't immediately respond. but once he's examined the chalk to his satisfaction, and wiped the chalk dust off on his pajamas, he fishes out his phone and studies the message carefully.]

...I don't know what to do now.

...I suppose this is addressed to me, so I should probably respond, but honestly, I don't feel like it. There are a lot of things I haven't examined yet in this room. And I'd like another sandwich.

[:|bbbbb]

[puts the phone back in his pocket]

[paradiseunboxed]

[eventually he pulls his phone back out.]

...Oh.

...I seem to have made LAVA-san angry.

[:|bbbbbb]

The One Who Transcends Time: Hello.
The One Who Transcends Time: Are you angry?

[ourowndeliverance]

[probably wanders out eventually.]

...hello. [probably awkwardly.] ...welcome?

[paradiseunboxed]

[still hanging out in his pajamas]

...Hello.

...And...thank you?

[ourowndeliverance]

Have the others explained matters yet?

[paradiseunboxed]

...Yes, everyone's been very helpful. I've got the basic gist of things by now, I think.

...I've also been given a name, which is Honey. Not like the food, but like the color that is named after the food.
