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

cw: violence, threats on genitalia and swearing....... (the usual)
[Room 24 is pretty close to the stairs on one side so you may have no trouble hearing a lovely young woman's first opinions on this--]
Fuck this bullshit.
[She's already "daintily" making her way downstairs, only to encounter a group of not so friendly locals, to say the least. She doesn't know why they're displeased but--]
--what the hell are you looking at?
[Her weapon may be gone but that won't stop her from flipping the table the group's sitting at violently, knocking some of the men off their chairs. The one closest to her is unfortunate enough to have her boot between his legs.]
You guys look like you were having a great time before I walked in. Well I like to have fun too. How about we make a bet-- on how much of you comes out of this.

actually, she looks way too calm... ]
La la la...hm. I can't seem to find the camp again...this is a problem.
[ she means...the camp at home...because she didn't totally read all the information and it was kind of confusing. so she's apparently just Assuming she got a little more lost than usual.
even so, this doesn't seem to really concern her all that much. ]

[ When the Pomeranian wakes up, he realizes immediately this isn't his lovely home and his apartment. His beloved people aren't here. So Missile hops down on the floor and does what any dog would do.
He barks really loudly. ]
MISS KAMILA MISS LYNNE HELP I'VE BEEN DOGNAPPED!!!!
[ ...I'm so sorry, roomie. ]
[ EVERYONE ELSE ]
[ Once Missile calms down, gets out and actually looks around, he is immediately distracted. Because there are big things and those things are horses and he is just one puppy. So there is a dog rushing around town at all these people and horses, barking loudly. And there are words in those barks because of course there are and those words are very, very simple. ]

[So yeah, the first thing Sissel is doing? Trying to get the glasses off his head. Because seriously who does that to a cat?
Watch out he might be running into you while backing up.]
Everywhere else
[Once he has resigned himself to his fate of being stuck in those glasses, Sissel can be found laying around just about anywhere in the town. On someone's bed, on a table, even on top of a fencepost. There is no end to the places he might turn up!
But the one constant is that, as he lays there, he is silently judging anyone who walks by. He's got that resting bitchface cats all have too.]

[Well, there sure is a lot of a cluster going on in the Saloon itself, to put it politely. Perhaps it's no wonder that someone has slipped out of it while everyone was busy with yelling, or getting into fights. Instead, the man in the long skirt and too many stripes is sitting on the edge of the well, gingerly touching the strange glasses on his face.]
[There are dark circles under his eyes, and his brow is crumpled together. He looks like he's had a shit day, and the day hasn't even started. To be fair to.... wherever this is, he came in like this.]
Was all of that a nightmare...?
[At the sound of someone else approaching, however, he looks up and tries to school his face into a polite smile. It's not a bad try.]
Oh, good morning. [A quick glance over the individual.] You're not local to here either right...?

At least she still has her earmuffs.
She people-watches from the Salty Splatoon's upstairs hallway for a while before deciding to quietly leave, methodically exploring the town to get the lay of the land and see if she can find an explanation for what's going on here.]

Having already something over one eye, Torbjörn is pretty unamused with his new pair of glasses. And everything else. And...life in general, to be honest. Grumbling to himself, he starts investigating, finding whomever he can and-]
Now, do you have any idea what's going on?
[Most of the time, the answer is that he'll find out soon. He may or may not get in to an argument with a few of the locals about this, because really, you go through all this trouble to kidnap him and THAT'S what you tell him!?
Mood further fouled, he ends up pouring himself a drink at the saloon, mulling over it, and then wandering about a bit more. The blacksmith, at least, catches his attention, and he'll spend some time there mulling over how old-fashioned everything is]

A girl in a winter school uniform and a scarf that's way too hot for this weather cautiously looks over the inn, occasionally either tugging at her VR headset or rubbing her wrist like there's supposed to be something there. She's... okay, she's checking all the drawers for things. Sure, wouldn't you?
Or maybe you find her in the square afterwards, in which case she'll immediately approach you.]
Excuse me. Do you recall how you came to be here?

you know. it's time to kick his hotel door open and stomp out of room 4. He's trying to keep his temper under control, but this is...]
Alright. Yo. What's even going on here. I don't have my Pokemon. I can't pull my shades down!
[....HNNNGH DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE NEAREST PERSON maybe just go outside. hnnngh.
...so he'll head out in front of the inn and... kind of squint.]
It's like Paniola Town without literally any of the good parts.

[ Small blessings: Pyro has enough mental stability this week to recognize when they're being spoken to and what's being said, but not enough to read. So they don't know they're supposed to do a murder yet.
But, being Pyro, they immediately head for the kitchen. There's usually fire there... unforunately, it's occupied. So they can't get in just yet.
That's okay. They'll sit outside the door and wait.
And wait. ]
Outside
[ At last, the kitchen was free, and can you guess what Pyro did?
That's right, they've taken a flaming log from the stove and have headed outside with it. ... and grabbed a bottle of cheap liquor as well.
They're headed for... the post office, it looks like.
This can't be good. ]

I thought the voice was irritating, but at least she is not as nonsensical as this. Do I look like a common thief to you? If you desire to hire me, standard currency [ A beat. ] or Tom Jones memorabilia will do. But that will have to wait, as I have another mission to attend to.
[ A pro bono one, which he's still completely sure why he's doing so but whatever. After the voice doesn't respond, he takes it upon himself to explore the town a little. It doesn't come as a complete shock that he's lacking most of his inventory, which means he needs to replenish that right away. Starting with a knife in the inn he's eying. ]
Child's play compared to retrieving top-secret intelligence. [ ...well it should be, but narrating this is probably not the best idea. ]

AN INTERACTIVE CUTSCENE BEGINS.
While some of them have been causing chaos, law and order has stepped in. A old man stands on top of the gate: long white hair, long white mustache, long black coat, and a voice much louder than any human has a right to be. When he starts talking, the whole town can hear him even from inside the Salty Splatoon, and the locals at least freeze for a moment.]
That's enough. Get out here. I'm the one you want to ruckus with, pilgrims.
[As guests gather, he looks each one of them over, one hand to his hip, the other shading his eyes: he doesn't look like he thinks too much of most of them.] Now, instead of taking it out on my patch of dirt, I'm right here.

[Of course just as things were getting interesting back home he'd have to get dragged away to something even more boring than one of Duvalie's lectures and makes even the village in the Nord Highlands look advanced and modern.
It takes a grand total of a few minutes before McBurn is bored stiff. Best way to deal with this? Fall asleep in some weird spot and see how people will react.
So yeah, one may find the lazy fire demon sleeping in a weird location and in a weird position. Leaning against a tree or building? Sure he can sleep like that. Though if one looks carefully enough, he's obviously faking it to see how people might react. I mean, the rules mention murder of course he should see who might be entertaining enough to actually try and kill a sleeping demon.]

[ Akira is quickly out and about, posture rigid and hands curled just a little too tightly into fists. It'll be possible to catch him in that state if a person happens to round a corner or step into his path; he's going to be doing his best to appear relaxed and possibly a little... indifferent in the face of anyone new.
It's fine, he's fine, etc.
Initially, he's focused on exploring, searching for people, even if he isn't pausing more than two seconds in any particular place. His first destination is the exit. And it's only after putting a ridiculous amount of effort into trying to get through said exit, he can be found just hanging around it.
And it might appear he's just standing there, twisting a strand of his bangs, posture somewhere between forced calm and tense. In truth, he's looking at the rules again, mind in overdrive. ]
blacksmith → paddock
[ Well, all the anger isn't going away with him just standing around. He heads over to the blacksmith to find... him asleep??
He frowns before walking over and waving a hand in the guy's face. Holy shit, that's an impressive amount of snoring. Hmmm... time to look around. Closely. As in using his hands to look. Though, it's as he touches one of the blades, someone chooses that moment to walk right on in......
... and those hands slide right into his pockets before he caaaasually turns towards the fellow new arrival.
He is the picture of innocence.
Eventually, he's making his way to the horses. As angry as he is at the situation, he does wind up calming down considerably around the animals. He's never actually seen horses up close and personal... so he does end up caving to the desire to try petting one. And some time after that, he can be found leaning against a fence, watching them. ]

What, are you serious? The hell is up with these lame-ass rules? [ His tone shifts to one that's openly ridiculing. ] "You must kill another player without being caught." Give me a break! What kind of loser would do what you want, asshole? Especially for a dumb prize like "getting out of here." Can you say, "weaaak"? I can!
[ He doubtlessly has more to say about the rules, if you dare to engage him.
A bit later, Dito can be found at the paddock leaning on one of the fences and watching the horses. His posture and body language all scream "bored" rather than "entranced." Horses must not be his thing. Go figure.
After he notices someone approaching (and without taking his eyes off the horses), he speaks up. ] So, we're not allowed to leave here, right? Does that mean there's no one around to restock the store? Which we can't even buy anything from, by the way. Such a pain in the ass.
[ A deep sigh and then he pushes back off the fence. ] Whatever. How long do you think it's gonna be before someone goes nutso and gets a craving for horse meat?

Calm down, Sable...this is just a horrible dream, you'll wake up soon...
[Later on, she manages to drag herself away from the inn and stumbles across the paddock, where she's just...watching the locals ride the horses around the track. She has a deadpan look on her face.
...yes, this is definitely a dream. There are quite a few horse villagers in the town she's in. They're not as big as the horses she's looking at right now, and they certainly wouldn't allow any humans to hop on their backs for a ride. (Well, maybe except the horse villager who talks about nothing but doing push ups and running marathons. They might be into it.)
She continues gazing at the horses, unable to look away.]

cw: is it really spoilers that there was a fight on christmas in a persona game?
Whaaaa--!!! Where am I? What's on my face?
[Did she doze off on the subway? Is that what happened? The last she remembers, everyone was on their way home after the big Christmas Eve fight. And now she's in someone else's bed with these-- what the heck are these glasses doing here?]
Sheriff's Office
[The best place to find out more information about where they are now is the Sheriff's office, right? Except it's locked. Damn it.
Maybe she should have asked Mona to teach her how to make thieves' tools. As it is she's eying the lock and glancing back frequently at a bobby-pin she's retrieved from her hair. She gets the principle of how this is supposed to work--but not really the application.]
