once more with feeling [act 3]

You awake in an unfamiliar bed.

It’s comfortable enough, sure, but it’s certainly not yours. The room, too, is unfamiliar, especially in such heavy darkness. There seems to have been a great effort put into making it a livable space, with fuzzy rugs laid over linoleum, beds arranged as best to fit (and one bunk bed per dorm, rip whoever has the bottom bunk), and a single desk. You've also got individually labelled trunks; if you look inside yours, you'll find a yearbook with mostly blank pages, as well as a few with some interesting information. But even with all these changes it’s clear this room started it’s life as a classroom, every window hidden behind heavy dark green curtains.

To add to the strangeness of it all, your clothes have been swapped for some kind of uniform. It, though fitting your body perfectly, might feel a bit odd to some of you, as the body you have isn’t quite the same as it was before you mysteriously fell unconscious. The other important thing to note is the people in the other beds around you, all wearing the same color-coded uniform.

The hallway outside the dorms is narrow but well-lit, with fresh white walls and some scattered posters advertising some kind of midweek club meeting. The hallway goes on until, for the more contemporary of you, the pieces start to fall together as to your location: a school. Once you leave your rooms you’re free to wander as you wish but pinned up on a corkboard just outside the cafeteria there’s framed information that you might find helpful. If you explore further into the other rooms, in fact, you'll see there's an identical copy outside all of them.

In the lobby there are linoleum floors and fluorescent lighting, and a pair of glass doors that appear to lead outside. You can see out of both of them that the sun is shining brightly and there’s definitely more to see in the distance but the glass is unbreakable; you can't get out that way right now. A rolling metal sheet blocks off the hallway to the west. For the moment, both doors leading outside are locked.

It looks like you’re stuck. But hey - at least you aren’t alone.

I suppose it is not quite the honeymoon you would have expected, is it?

No...this isn't a honeymoon at all!

[Her image keywords say it all.]

Are...are you saying you're from...150 years in the future!?

That would be the question that needs to be answered, don't you think?

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-01 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...yes, I suppose you're right...

[She brings a hand to her head.]

One hundred and fifty years...that's so incredible...I can scarcely imagine what it could be like.

[A faint smile.]

It would sound mad if I were back home, quite honestly.

As would speaking to a woman from 150 years in the past. [Though, that does remind her -- ]

I don't believe we have been introduced. My name is Maya Tendo. [She holds out her hand.]
wanderlusttitania: (ah)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-01 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She also holds out a hand to shake. It's not the most womanly thing, but hey. Time travel. Handshaking is probably common in the future, so why not?]

Maya...my name is Elisabeth.

Were it better circumstances to meet, of course, mademoiselle.
