Each character will awaken in a room with another character and will be missing their journals. Each will have their own very comfortable twin bed. The Room is comfortably accommodated and should the subject look into the closets of bureau they will find clothing appropriate to their sense of style and size. Each room has it's own bathroom complete with toilet, tub and shower. Each bathroom is stocked with products the character would be familiar with.

The doors to the five bedrooms all open into a large common area which includes a television (no cable; just a large collection of assorted movies and an X-Box with an assortment of games); a bookcase with various titles and genres; a large sectional sofa; a dining table; and a large kitchen. The Kitchen will have an induction cooktop stove; a large refrigerator; various appliances and copious amounts of fresh foods. The style of this room is contemporary but comfortable. The floors are carpeted and everything is modern.

Clearly, this room is intended to make the subjects comfortable. Conspicuously absent: Windows.

There is an area which is clearly a door; however, it has no handle from the inside. Over this door is a large blue sign "Departure Point." A sign on the door indicates the following.

"Thank you for your participation here at Vas Captio. This area is intended for your use and comfort. Please be mindful to be clean and courteous as this room will be occupied shortly after you leave. Further instructions as to your departure will be included as they become more final. Thank you for your patience."

Common Area - 11:30am

The TV was large. The couch was comfortable. And there was the coolest Nintendo that he'd ever seen hooked up to that large television. It didn't have any of the normal games, though.. but really? It didn't matter. New games were welcome, and Remy had settled down after turning on the black box with the circle, and grabbing his controller. The other controller was tossed into the other man's lap. Because, of course he'd dragged Church into this. Remy didn't play games alone! Games were only fun if someone else played with you. And when the xBox turned on and the music came up, the Cajun whistled low.

The graphics were amazing, it was like it was real-life. That was just about the coolest thing he'd ever seen.. and the music that came with the game was nice. Halo 3, huh? Interesting. Was it about angels? Soon, the game was starting up, and Remy took a second to get used to the controller before turning his person to face the other person. Wow. "You an' alien, homme." And Remy LeBeau? Master Chief, of course!

Take that, Spartan.

When the remote fell into his lap, Church took a moment to turn it over before he glanced over at Remy and followed suit after him, holding down the button in the middle to turn it on before leaning back into the couch and turning blue eyes up to the large television screen in front of them. He’d used battle simulators before but they had been much more advanced than any of this.. he hadn’t ever used anything as primate that would use a remote that only used your fingers, like this, but he was sure that he could adjust. He couldn’t ever remember playing a video game in his life, so as they waited for the game to start up he glanced over to Gambit and rubbed his thumbs over the joysticks on the controller.

“What are we doing with this?” All you had to do was tell him he was going to be killing things, and he’d be happy to play, Gambit… but he might not get the chance to explain it, because the game was starting up and blue eyes turned back to the screen, falling onto the dark green armored character that had turned to face his on the right side of the screen, and his brows lifted before he dropped the controller and got to his feet, so that it tumbled forward out of his lap and landed on the carpeted floor.

“Did they just say Master Chief?” Demanded of the Cajun, though he didn’t look away from the television. Instead, he stepped forward to stand just in front of it, narrowing his eyes as he peered in at the character. That armor, while he couldn’t remember it in as advanced of a stage due to his memory loss, was sparking something in his mind and he could picture himself, as well as everyone else in his squad, suited up in that exact same thing. It’d triggered a memory, and Church definitely knew who Master Chief was…

“The fuck is this? Some kind of joke?”

"Non, homme. S' uh game. Y' move 'de buttons on 'de con'rol pa', an' you made t'in's happen. See?" He moved the buttons so that the Master Chief jumped, then he turned his gun onto the Arbiter and fired a few times to bring his shields down. WOW. The controller vibrated.

Oh. That was great.

Remy cleared his throat.

"C'mon an' si' down. Jus' uh game." He insisted again, setting the controller aside reluctantly and standing up as well, stretching his legs a little bit as he did, and watching the taller man with interest. He was so tall. Remy, of course, had seen people that tall, but it wasn't exactly normal, and he was having a bit of trouble really accepting that he was 'normal'.

When Master Chief jumped up and then shot the alien who was, apparently, Church’s character, the Spartan glanced down at the remote on the floor as it vibrated, before turning blue eyes back to the screen. “A game?” Repeated, brow furrowing in curious discontent. A video game? They’d turned the Spartans into a video simulation made with the purpose of only entertainment?

Really?

That was so awesome.

“Give me your controller.” Demanded as he turned to face Remy again, holding a hand out expectantly. Really, he could look quite a bit intimidating to most people, but Remy had a reason to be confident – he’d have more of a reason to be confident if he knew that Church had metal grafted to his bones, but the Spartan had no reason to disclose that information. He didn’t have a reason to disclose anything about himself to any of the people here… though if they knew about Spartans and Master Chief…

“Come on, give it to me. If we’re playing, I’m playing as Master Chief.”

"Wha'? Non, don' wanna be 'de alien." Wait. He paused and thought for a second, looking down at the controller that had vibrated. He wasn't sure that his controller vibrated. And really, was being an alien that bad?

That controller vibrated.

"D'accord." The controller in his hand was passed over and he bent down to snatch up the one on the floor and plopped unceremoniously onto the couch, stretching long legs out as he leaned back with a sigh. Oh yeah. He could get used to this. Definitely. "C'mon, ain' go' all 'de time in 'de worl', homme. Gonna play 'de fuck outta 'dis game. 'Den we gonna go t'rough 'dose movies, an' fin' anyt'in' wit' sex in i', an' we gonna turn i' on." Yes, Church. Those were his plans. Soft core porn and video games. Did you have a problem with it? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

When the Cajun relinquished the controller, Church took it and stepped back so he could settle back down into the couch, glancing sidelong at Remy again, blue eyes lingering on the odd black and red ones across from him. "Someone do something to your eyes?" Asked after a moment, because the only reason Church could think of for eyes like that was contacts, or someone had injected something into them, or something -- there were lots of medical possibilities. He wasn't closed off to the things that medical experiments could do to someone, he'd experienced that first hand.

Sex. Movies and video games and sex? Well. He wasn't going to oppose to that! Church rolled his shoulders back and got more comfortable on the couch, thumbing the controls to get a feel for the game before he turned and shot the Elite in the head, unloading the clip so the alien would die. That made Church laugh, and he lifted an arm to elbow Remy in the side.

"I win."

When asked about his eyes, Remy lifted his eyebrows but just rolled his shoulders back in the lazy man's version of a shrug. "Non, born 'dis way. Jus' 'de way I look." The grin was flashed over to the other man and he lifted his eyebrows some, then looked forward again at the large television. Wait-- what? Oh, his controller was vibrating again. He resisted the urge to lay it in his lap. But he was smirking and nudging the other man back and pulling sock-covered feet up onto the couch, indian-style.

"Don' t'ink we 'posed t' kill each ot'er, homme. We gotta kill 'de t'in's out 'dere." He held up the Halo 3 box and waggled it, flashing the green rectangle at him. "Say kill 'de covonan'." Both eyebrows lifted and he tossed the box at Church, before grinning and looking back at the screen, where he had respawned, and he began running forward, hopping up. Oh, this was fun!

Quietly, she moved into the room nearby and saw some strange contraption and the two men from earlier playing with it. Being that she had no idea what it was, she moved to sit down near Church, even though she didn't say anything. Watching Remy sit strangely, she moved to mimic him and sit the way he did on the floor.

Granted, she could have set in a chair or something but she didn't.

"..What..is this?" She tilted her head.
