Forget all your troubles

[You wake up and instantly realize something is wrong.

There is a vague feeling of dread hanging in the air and, as comfortable as this bed is, there’s just something off about everything, even before you open your eyes. The dread only grows when you open your eyes and realize that you are in a completely unfamiliar room. One that has clearly seen better days at that.

As you explore your room, you will soon find a bedroom key resting on the dresser along with a note]


Welcome, esteemed guest, to our humble abode. We hope that you enjoy your stay in this Phantom Manor, as we expect you to stay with us for a very long time.

Feel free to make yourself at home as you enjoy what this manor has to offer, whether it’s the library, our projection room, or our famous wax museum. We’re sure you will find great joy

However, before you can get too comfortable, we ask you to please come to the portrait gallery at noon so we can discuss your stay here.

We eagerly await to meet you.

-Your Host


[The uncomfortable feeling doesn’t let up as you leave the safety of your bedroom. The manor seems old and decrepit, almost like it would fall over at the slightest breeze. Despite that, anyone who tries to escape will soon realize that the walls are unusually sturdy, and there are no doors that would seemingly lead to the outside world.

Still, at least you’re not alone in this scenario, if the other bedroom doors are any indications. Maybe there are a few more people coming out of their bedrooms too, so you have someone to talk toif you want to try to figure out what's going on. But if the 30 bios in the foyer hall are any indication, whoever has you here did not do this on accident. Whatever you’re here for, it seems like you’re here for a reason.

But hey, what’s the use of being pessimistic about this? Maybe it’s all an innocent situation… right?]

[ Jyn Erso knows, when she opens her eyes, that she shouldn't be waking up. She saw the... the impact of the laser, crashing into the ocean on Scarif and destroying everything, and she was with-

Cassian.

She calls out his name to the empty room, but there's no response. Cassian Andor is gone. Yet here she is. The plans got out and, somehow, so did she.

After an extensive search of the room and its... amenities, Jyn pockets the key and the note and tries the door. She still somehow expects it to be locked, for this to be some kind of strange Outer Rim prison, or an experimental Imperial bunker, but it opens without resistance.

She slides into the hallway, on guard as hell, and scans the room of doors. If another person happens to walk by, Jyn will walk up to them with... surprising calm in her step. She knows how to fend for herself, and you don't do it by marching in guns blazing. ]


Excuse me, do you have any idea where we are?

[ She then makes her way out of the hall, and after a stride through the casino ends up in the foyer where she is 100% reading everyone's profiles. Including her own, which seems to have her... annoyed? But unless specifically asked, the most she actually says here is: ]

Strange bunch for a kidnapping.

[ Later on, while waiting for whoever's gonna show up in the Portrait Room, Jyn's in the wax museum just kind of... looking at the fuckin statues. Hit her up. ]

Somewhere I'm not gonna be for long, if everyone involved knows what's good for them.

[He was gonna be the one doing the interrogating here, you can't just go and ask questions FIRST, Jyn.]

[ Well that's sure an answer. ]

No idea who took us either then, I take it.
tanukey: (can you not)

[personal profile] tanukey 2018-01-07 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I can think of a few people who might've, but they'd make sure we knew.

[Blah blah blah serve as an example of those who date etc. etc.]

[Still, might as well check-]


You piss off the Sovereign recently? Buncha gold douchebags in robes.

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-07 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. The Empire yes, but they were already in the process of... striking back at me. And this isn't their style either.
tanukey: (um)

[personal profile] tanukey 2018-01-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...which empire?

[This is... not terribly within the modus operandi of the Kree or the Nova Corps, but who knows.]
astronomics: (08)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-08 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
The... Galactic Empire? Are there more elsewhere?
tanukey: (can you not)

[personal profile] tanukey 2018-01-09 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Galactic Empire."

[Sounds fake but okay.]

What, is that what the Kree call themselves in their own space? Conceited blue bastards.
astronomics: (06)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-09 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
They're mostly human, actually.
tanukey: (um)

[personal profile] tanukey 2018-01-10 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds REALLY fake.]

...Doesn't ring a bell. Which part of the galaxy we talkin' about here?
astronomics: (08)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-10 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
The galaxy. The one with people in it.

[ A beat. ]

You've never heard of anything I'm talking about, have you?
tanukey: (hey I'm grump)

[personal profile] tanukey 2018-01-11 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I have not heard of a bunch of humans just taking over the actual entire galaxy, no. I been a little busy the past few days, but I'm pretty freakin' sure that's the kind of thing I would've noticed.
astronomics: (09)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-13 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
There are plenty of other species, I'm not saying nearly everyone's a human.

[ Just the important ones! #juststarwarsthings ]

Either way, the galaxy's got way more than just one buncha yahoos running it. Might be a little simpler that way, but it ain't.

Museum

[personal profile] used_realtears 2018-01-07 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
These are really creepy... [Noby bites his nails nervously as he looks at the statues.] I feel like they're going to come alive or something...

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-09 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt it, unless they're droids.

[ ... god they might be droids. ]
used_realtears: Nobita with swirly eyes (swirly eyes)

[personal profile] used_realtears 2018-01-09 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know! That can happen all the time in scary movies!
astronomics: (05)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-09 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but this is real life.
used_realtears: (shocked)

[personal profile] used_realtears 2018-01-10 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
But this place is so much like a scary movie!
astronomics: (10)

[personal profile] astronomics 2018-01-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
But it isn't one. This is just a building, like any other. Whoever took us is just trying to unsettle us.
used_realtears: (wut)

[personal profile] used_realtears 2018-01-10 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances around nervously.] I know it's not a real movie, but that doesn't mean the stuff that happens won't become real...
