[mock trial intro] move 'em on, head 'em up

[consolemods]

Whatever you were doing before you got here, it isn't what you're doing now. What you're doing now is waking up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room with... unfamiliar glasses on your face. No matter what you can do, you can't take those glasses off... but if you roll your eyes down, you'll be given a rundown of what's going on here.

Hmm. Well, that's probably a little unnerving. Maybe you should... leave? Fortunately, your room's not locked, but as you go downstairs and try and ask the locals what's going on, you'll find they're... less than cooperative. And if you go outside the inn and try to leave into the town... well, you'll find several locations around the town, but you'll also find that you can't seem to leave.

Well. Maybe you should talk to the other people who just showed up here. All the locals are going to tell you is an explanation is forthcoming, so you might want to kill some time getting to know each other.

[She's used to drawing an audience. There's usually a lot more killing though and less talking. But in this case, they're not protecting her sisters so they can live. For now. Shady is fine by her. If you're going to get yourself involved anyway mister--]

See something you like?

[i_spy]

With the addition of present company, perhaps. [ That was easier than he expected to defuse (if that's what he wanted to do in the first place). ]

Did they insult you, mademoiselle?

[monotonality]

You're damn right they did. I could feel their shitty stares from across the room.

[Except she's used to that.]

But what really ticks me off that they're all sitting around down here having a great ole' fucking time while I've been dragged to this shithole. I don't have time to play anyone's damn games.

[i_spy]

Isn't that how these situations always turn out? [ More to himself, but this doesn't seem to be too out of left field for him. ]

I can't say I do either, even if this might be preferable to being trapped on a submarine with scout for over 24 hours.

[monotonality]

Hate to break it to you, but considering we're here? Shit's gonna get worse before it gets better.

[Whoever dragged her here without her permission--]

I don't know about you, but I'm not the damsel in distress type. Whoever did this isn't some amateur.

[i_spy]

[ Drly. ] Doesn't it always.

...I hadn't taken you as one, given your display. [ He's not really sure what to make of her honestly. While he's met aggressive women like Soldier's fiancee, their looks usually match up with their behavior. Here, not so much. ] I agree, but stranger things have occurred. It unsettles me more that they stripped me of my tools and weapons.
