[Mumble wakes up in a strange kind of nest, in a strange indoor cave. Apparently, a dormitory. How'd he end up on his back? He feels oddly chilly, too. He can feel something crinkly and uncomfortable on him. He's not looking at himself for now, there's too much to process!

Getting up - rather uncomfortably, his body feels all...weird - it's clear he's not in Emperor-land anymore. Is this just like what the skua was talking about...alien abduction?

He looks around the room. Fleshy, featherless creatures with flabby faces...they fit the description perfectly.]

Hello, excuse me, aliens? I'm Mumble, from Emperor-land. [He's putting on his best, most polite face.] I have a few questions. Like, why you abducted me, a-and if you could let me go.

[With his questions not really very well answered, he goes off to look for better ones! He finds a set of rules. These are...well!]

'Any student may end the their time in the school by killing another student and escaping detection.' [He turns around for an explanation.] Is this...normal for aliens?

[Said with poorly veiled concern. He's trying not to be too judgemental.]
