Angels of Death - Awoken Again (Beginning Thread)

[Ame]

You rub your eyes, the pain and fatigue are still far from gone. But, what is there to do? To lay here and remain is folly. Gaining information right now is the most important thing. You try to get a better look at the room you’re in. It’s… old looking, to say the least. It appears it could've been built recently, if only it wasn’t so gross and poorly maintained. Is that… black mould in the corner? The room feels like it’s from 30 years ago, based purely on the level of maintenance. There aren’t any windows or clocks, who even knows what the time is. There are some worn floorboards on the outskirts of the room, but a carpeted space belongs in the centre, where there are no beds except one. But it looks different, for one, it appears solid, and like it’s black, unlike your flimsy framed one, though you are still too nauseous to be able to tell definitely. There’s also only one door, which looks like a rather grandiose one at that. A giant, wooden one. Perhaps there’s something over there. Whatever lights there are, are fashionably out of date, and are letting out a warm, yellow light throughout.

You remember seeing other beds in the room, but try as you may, the fatigue on your eyes is too great, and it is hard to tell how many there are in this giant room, but as a rough estimate, there’s a few more than 20. They are all, seemingly strangers.

Well, time’s a wastin, and without much of a clue as to what’s going on, it doesn’t at all strike you as foolish to investigate what little information is available to you. You decide to get up, and as you put your arm on the bed frame, you hear a clinking noise? Upon a cursory glance, you realise that there is a bright red.. Watch on your left wrist? No, it can’t be. It’s too large for that. It’s a bracelet. And it was a number on it? Just what the hell is this? Is it just you?

Clearly not. You’re not the only one just now realising this, and not the only one with this reaction. Those nearby seem to be just as confused as you. Perhaps they know something you don’t? Perhaps there’s something behind that door? Or what about this peculiar room, with that peculiar bench in the middle? It’s nothing like yours, and almost appears to be black in colour.

[Tetsu]

Naru rubs the back of his head as he looks around the room before he looks at his wrist

What is this? A bracelet with a number? The last thing he remembers....what was it....the last thing....

He then take a look around the room and his eyes lands on the black bench.

What is going on here? How did he end up in here, who else is here?

"Hello...are you guys okay?" He called out but his throat seems to be sored and dried.

[Vaellin the Bard]

Shaking slightly at the darkness, bringing back bad memories, Guertena looks around and then at his bracelet. Number '2'. To the large room of 20 some-odd people he calls out. "Hello? Anyone there? Is there... a number '1' or '3' here? I've got a '2' on my bracelet." Perhaps the numbers were significant? After all, he couldn't just sit here all day hiding. That was a sure way to get caught by danger.

Overhearing someone Sparrow looked down and it wrote 21.

"Uh hey, number 2...right? Mine says 21. Do you know how you got here?"

Emerald gets out of bed and immediately starts pulling on the doorknob.

"H-Hey! Lemme out!"

Guertena shook his head before standing up and making his way carefully through the numbers of people as he heads over to the first person to respond. 7... 42... the numbers seemed to be scattered.

"I don't know, unfortunately. I don't even know where 'here' is?" He glances towards the bench nervously. At least this person looked friendly. He offers a shaky smile to be friendly in return, promptly looking awkward. He fiddles in his jacket pockets to try and find if anything remains, like his usual hard candy.

[Nana]

Rei stands and straightens her kimono.

"This is troublesome, my kimono is ruined...."

"Sigh... Who put this chunky bracelet... er, thingy on my wrist?".

[crazynuto]

[ The door is stuck. It doesn't budge. You're rather certain it's a push door, but pushing it does nothing either. ]

Sparrow looks at the person and rubs his head again

" There aren't any windows here either, Muro...."

His eyes darts around the room as he notices a green-haired girl and a kimono-wearing girl.

"Something tells me, these bracelets aren't for show nor is having that chair in the middle of this room."

He then turns to the guy and held out his hand

"Name's Sparrow, like that bird." He then smiles

[ Inside your pockets you find your usual belongings. In this case, hard candy. But any weapons, personal identifiers, or any method to contact others or the outside world has been removed. No wallets, keys, phones, nothing except loose change and any small items you may have had. Hard candy likely will be in short supply. Use it sparingly. ]

Guertena shook Sparrow's hand with a nod. He opened his mouth to say his real name but hesitated. He didn't know what was going on here, who the rest of these people were or why he was taken. While possibly rude, he quickly switches his real name for the first one he could think of. Fortunately, both names started with the same letter.

"Guertena. I agree. I think there's something significant going on here for the numbers, but considering what we have I bet there's a second room of people as well." He turns to the black bench again. "That looks the most suspicious by far, too." He kind of hoped someone else would investigate it first. He was cautious more than curious.

Emerald moans in annoyance and starts kicking at the door when it won’t open. “Ugh!!! Lemme out! Lemme outtttttt!”

[Hansbulla]

After taking note of the other occupants and the bracelet on his wrist, a well-dressed man makes his way to examine the central bench up close.

[Nana]

"My name is... Rei. So Sparrow are you a pirate?"

Rei checks her bracelet.

"Mine is number 7"

Although you couldn’t tell originally, it appears as if it’s an obsidian altar, which has a person on top. A woman. No, she’s too young for that. A teenager. She has messy, reddish-pinkish hair, and is dressed in Gyaru style fashion. You do not recognize this person. And although she has a bracelet on too, she’s yet to awake. Upon looking at her bracelet, it reads [4]. You would normally try to feel for a pulse, but there is a glass case over her. Peculiar as it is, you wonder if there’s anything special about her.

Upon closer inspection, there appears to be a small black square clutched to her side. You can't see very well as it's shoved against her arm and body, but it appears to have a word written on it. You can only catch a couple letters.
