Who: Everyone
When: Day 1 – noon
Where: The Auditorium
What: ROUND 1 BEGINS

[Some hours have passed, leaving you time to mingle and explore to your hearts content. However, as the clocks tick over to noon … the bell rings again. And this time, it's followed by the hissing static of an intercom system.]

Ahem! Ahem, is this thing on? Ahh, yes … If all Students and Instructors could kindly make their way to the Auditorium, our first class can begin.

[Those people who are understandably reluctant to follow that instruction may just find their feet moving for them, plodding them into the massive assembly hall. Once they're there, the door slams shut and locks behind them.

… There's nobody there, but the intercom is still on.]

[tsuns]

Huh? What kind of quiz competition starts like this?

[ panicking a little more than he'd like ]

[soldieronwards]

"Quiz competition."

[tsuns]

Ain't that what this is?

[ he's surprised more people haven't come to this conclusion. but people aren't dumb like he is. ]

[soldieronwards]

Let's hope so.

[tsuns]

But there's no reason to do more suspicious stuff like this. We already got kidnapped, what's the deal with this?

[soldieronwards]

Your logic's a little off there. "They already kidnapped us, so they definitely won't do any more bad things to us!"

[tsuns]

Well, I mean...! [ he hit the nail on the head ] It's just addin' more insult to injury!

[endsintheocean]

I don't think there's going to be a quiz competition after all.

[shocking, I know.]

[tsuns]

But there's even other subjects! What the hell else could it be?

[ almost anything ]

[endsintheocean]

We're likely to find out soon.

[tsuns]

Urgh.

This is gonna be like one of those movies with the ghosts that pop up suddenly...

[endsintheocean]

At this point, ghosts seem about as likely as anything else.

[tsuns]

Re-really? You think it really could be ghosts?!

[endsintheocean]

It could be, or it could be something completely different. I just don't know.

[takencontrol]

[ . . . laughs quietly, despite herself ]

Quiz competition. . . . ?

[tsuns]

How come people keep askin' about that? That's gotta be what this is...!

[takencontrol]

Well you're right, it is a competition.

[tsuns]

Yeah. What subject round are you going to do?

[tsuns]

Yeah, so, I'm pretty much right!
