[You are in a generously sized room divided into two unequal sections. The largest half is all stone, albiet lavishly decorated with tapestries in your team color. All of them depict a lion gorged lion sprawling on a heap of mangled bodies. The floor is plain in comparison, save for your team's zodiac symbol—perhaps measuring 6 foot by 6 foot—gouged deep and smooth into the stone.

The smaller section is blocked off by a solid wall of what looks like thick, strong glass. There are no visible entrances.

Embedded into one of the walls is a large screen showing this information.]

[Emotional shutdown!]

I'm fine.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

Good, good! Wouldn't want anyone panicking and making things harder than they already are.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[...]

I'm not going to panic.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

I haven't spoken to you yet, so I couldn't know that. I'm only a man.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

The calm demeanor might be a hint.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

For some people, that's just shock setting in.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

It's not shock.

Just deja vu.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

Deja vu? Can you tell me more about that?

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

My first game in Aather involved sending people to their doom.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

What's this Aather?

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

Aather would be the place Ling, Crown, and I were before. ANother place where beings take you, take away your memories and skills, and put you in a game.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

Memory alteration? That sounds fascinating.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

...didn't you lose your memories?

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[lemonades]

. . . So I did! I'd forgotten in all the excitement.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[shednotearsformagic]

[Well, aren't you a smart one.]

It's pretty normal for arriving in Aather.
