The sky was clear, blue as a robin's egg. The grass that formed his bed was warm, lush.. the breeze was just enough to tousle his hair with gentle fingers, and the sun bathed his body in a comfortable warmth. With the breeze danced a melodic tune.

Vincent.. .... .. Vincent, are you sleeping? Here? .. .......  Your eyes.. open your eyes.  That voice.. it was back. The voice of his conscience, of his memories, a sweet, airy breath of wind that rolled through his mind. He would always, always be haunted.

He didn't leave immediately, instead choosing to have a look around his new sleeping quarters first, mostly because the bed opposite his own looked as if there had been someone sleeping in it until recently. Everything was searched, partially so he could perhaps memorize what was there, and where, and possibly also to find his missing roommate.

When his search turned out to be fruitless, he finally left. The sudden announcement startled him, and he didn't know what to think anymore. He has originally thought that perhaps he and the other pilots had been captured by the enemy again without him realizing or remembering, but... he was sure now that it wasn't the case.

Or was it?

He checked every door that he came across; the majority of the doors were locked, and the ones he found that he could go in seemed to be 'community' rooms. A few bathrooms, a laundry room, an infirmary...

The ones that were locked had panels next to them, and he figured out that these panels scanned the bracelet that was securely attached to his wrist. None of them but the room he'd come out of opened for him, however, so he made note of the room number.

If he'd been captured, why would he be allowed to escape? Even though they had taken any weapons he'd had on him, it still seemed a little dangerous to just allow a Gundam Pilot to wander around.

Finally, he made his way out of the dorm hall and into the building that contained the cafeteria, library, and living room. The announcement had told him to go to the living room, but he decided that having a look around first might be a better option. His priority was to find another person, and if he had been that late in waking up, chances could be that they weren't even in that room anymore.

As he passed the hall that parted the living room from the library, he noticed a couple of people near the lift, and chose to approach them.

Wandering the halls was a newbie to this whole game-think was a certain former killer; after finally figuring out that weird puzzle in his new room(?) he had gone out his door and started exploring.

Where the heckie was he...? This was not at all where he last remembered being.

Was he kidnapped? Did he sign some kind of contract without meaning to? Was he drugged? ...Was this hell? It looked a bit too nice to be hell, but, hey; it very well could be with all he'd done.

Eventually, he ended up seeing people, and so he went to say hi.

"Hi!"

As ridiculous as it sounded after everything that had happened between them, she had to admit that Santa was probably the most trustworthy person in the room at the moment. Even if she was still at least a little suspicious of him, he wasn't a stranger to her, and she felt safer teaming up with him than with any of the others. 

In a bold move, he'd decided to check out what the rest of the place was like. Although nothing in the surrounding area felt like it could be a threat (other than a few certain individuals in the group, that is), he still thought that it would be better to go alone. After all, if there was some sort of unexpected danger, he would be the only one immediately threatened by it and that would make things much less complicated and risky.

His exploration turned out to be as safe as expected, but not fruitless. On his journey, he'd discovered the cafeteria, an outside area, and a few more buildings. Upon further inspection, he found that there was probably no way to get out, even if they could fly; the world appeared to just stop existing at certain points. As he returned to the group, he also took note of the lift near the living room, but didn't take it down. Not yet.

Rather, he followed Jasmine's 'trail'. Luckily, she was still in the living room, and so he entered, shooting a quick glance to the tall, imposing man known as Hilarius before approaching his fellow gym leader.

Of course, he noted Sayaka, as well, the look being thrown her way nowhere near as dirty as the look he'd given to Hilarius mere moments before. In fact, this one was friendly.

All attention was turned to Jasmine afterwards, however.

She listened carefully to the rabbit's announcement (and terrible puns, although Jasmine thought it would be rude to comment on them). The game seemed simple enough in theory, although she wasn't sure she wanted to find what would happen if her BP fell below zero. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that - everyone would work together, and they could all make it out of ... wherever this was. ... Right?
