It's all happened before...

[You wake up in a plush bed, well rested but very confused. As you become more conscious, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not your room, nor does this look like any bedroom you’ve ever been in before. It’s relatively clean room, but immediately something feels… off about all of this.

When you start exploring, a thing you’ll soon notice is that on the bedside table, there is a room key sitting ontop of a neatly typed note.]


Dear hotel guests,

We cordially invite you to come to the downstairs library at noon for an important meeting regarding your stay in the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Before then, we invite you to make full use of the amenities this hotel has provided for you.

On behalf of the hotel staff, we dearly hope you enjoy your stay in this marvelous hotel.

-HTH Management


[But, as you leave the comfort of your new bedroom, any hope that you somehow booked a hotel room the previous night and just forgot is immediately dashed. It looks like this hotel hasn’t been cleaned in decades, and despite the mention of hotel staff in your note, there doesn’t appear to be anyone working here.

Not to say that you’re alone, however. As you explore the hotel, you’ll soon find that there are 23 others in the exact same situation as you: confused and with no memory of how they got here. And to make matters worse, if the bios you stumble upon in the dining area is anything to go by, this clearly isn't just a freak accident.

Get comfy, because you are all in for a wild ride.]

[The darting chipmunk doesn't go unnoticed. It's too fast for Virgil to see what it is, but he notices something moving. He stops and stares for a moment, unsure if he should examine any further]

...hey?

[It could have been a rat. This hotel looks so rundown it may be rat-infested]

...?

['Sup, Virgil. That sure is a chipmunk wearing a bomber jacket and fedora peering out at you from behind one of the legs of a display table. He doesn't say anything just yet, looking more uncertain than anything else]

...it's just a squirrel wearing a hat. Unusual, but not who I'm looking for.

[Chipmunk, Virgil. But hey, he's no zoologist nor there's abundance of chipmunks in middle of the city, can you blame him? But deciding a random animal can't be whoever brought them all here, he doesn't seem too impressed.

Maybe it's not the best first impression Virgil could give, frankly]
nocasetoobig: (a little bit of resolve)

[Cue a glance back at his tail. Nope. Still tiny. Just gonna shake his head]

Humans...

...okay, that was unexpected!

[He definitely heard that. Embarrassed, Virgil raises his hands]

Sorry, didn't mean to insult--! You know what, I think I should shut up and just...keep looking for a way out. My bad!

[How's one supposed to talk with who seems to be a sentient animal? A couple years of being a superhero didn't train him for this!]

[wait. wait. the human is- apologizing to him? Addressing him now? Chip seems surprised, but-]

No, it's- it's all right! I'm just...a chipmunk. Not a squirrel. See the tail?

[Just...gonna point.]

Squirrels' are a lot bigger.

Ah, I see, I see.

[Good to know for future reference! He's guaranteed never to forget that]

Sorry, I don't see animals often besides birds and the most common ones, so I'm not sure about that kind of details. I guess I should look more into zoology once I'm out of here.

[He knows as much about animals as any random person on the street, yeah. Not the field of science he's most interested in]

It's...not a big deal. I'm more surprised you're talking to me, honestly. [Instead of AT him.]

Is it really so strange? I mean, if someone talks to you it's only natural to reply.

[Maybe this chipmunk isn't used to talking to humans or something, he supposes]
nocasetoobig: (oh no it never fails)

[personal profile] nocasetoobig 2017-10-02 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Just 'cause I can understand you guys doesn't mean you guys always understand me. [Like he said; Humans.] I'm not complaining, though!

[personal profile] coulombslaw 2017-10-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Frankly I'm not sure I'd understand you before arriving here? It may be something about this place, I dunno. [He waves a hand around] It's kinda cool to talk to you, but I hope nobody did anything to me.

[Although he's pretty sure someone did do something to him because of the drastic loss of powers, yeah]

You mean other than bring you here?
