That's right. When you woke up you had no idea how much you'd forgotten!

  Your name is Yuki Yamamoto. You and your twin sister, Chiohiro, were born in Kyoto and raised together with your parents and your surviving grandparents.

  You have a lithe form, more toned than Chiohiro's is due to your more active lifestyle. You're fifteen years old, and you dye your hair a bright blonde, save for one strip of deep raven black to frame your face. Chiohiro has a opposite style, with only one lock of hair dyed. Your head hurts a bit, and the bright whites of the room hurt your eyes, but strangely your hangover isn't as bad as it should be.

  You wouldn't call yourself quite a model citizen. The fake ID in your pocket gets used frequently to access clubs and bars, as well in the purchase of illicit alchohol that even Chiohiro won't share with you. You have a few extra peircings too, two in one of your ears, one in your tongue, and a couple Bright quite likely just learned about if your assumption is correct and he did change you. You once again thank your stars that he's probably asexual. Or a robot. Or a alien. Something that wouldn't be interested in other humans. In contrast, you're interested in all humans, and you've been quite open about it since you hit puberty. Your coming out story isn't so interesting though; no fights or awkward pauses, just a couple of "Hai."'s and Chiohiro being extra-chaste. You're pretty sure you scared her into thinking she was bi too.

In any case, this room makes your head throb. Probably best to find a way out before whatever's keeping your hangover at bay wears off.

Get up slowly, make sure we're clothed, take a moment to appreciate the irony of an energetic possibly manic pixie dream girl being named Yuki, find an exit, attempt to remember what year it is, then look for water to help with the hangover.

You're already up!

You're wearing nothing but a white hospital gown. Luckily a few strings at the back make it more covering than a normal hospital gown would be, but it's still so loose and flighty it feels like you're wearing nothing at all.

There is no irony, that's your name.
Nope, definitely no irony at all there in any way shape or form.

There seems to be a door in the wall, but it's locked by a keypad. You can't remember the code.

It's 2009.

There's a water fountain in the corner, but the button doesn't work. Damn, it's out of service!

What did you mean by this? Who is Bright and in what manner are we assuming he "changed" us?

I assumed we got drunk in one of our regular drinking holes and woke up in the back room with extra piercings compliments of our good friend, Bright. But this interpretation seems not entirely consistent with waking up in an unfamiliar locked room wearing a hospital gown.

1) If it is a hospital, check the bed for a button to contact a nurse.

2) Check the door (and rest of the room) for a window. Look through it.

3) Listen for zombies. This sounds a lot like the opening sequence to Resident Evil.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

 Bright is a... friend. Of a sort. Really, he's just a facilitator for your real friends, who would never have met eachother seeing as most of you come from different countries or even continents. Frost and Junk are from America, Seth and Sierra are from Europe, you think England (or was it Britain? Europe is confusing), You and Chiohiro and Sanaa are from Asia, Sanaa from the middle-east and you from Japan.

Bright says he's from Moscow, but he speaks English, Japanese, Arabic, and every other language you know without an accent. Your friends like to joke that he's some sort of demigod but that's only a half-joke for most of you since he's so damn mysterious.

There was also another girl, Krista. She's not a friend, though, and you just met her yesterday. She doesn't speak very good English, and there was a little girl tagging along with her. Bright kept her in a different wing of his house.


There doesn't seem to be a button to contact a nurse anywhere. You're guessing you aren't in a real hospital. Bright has a ton of money that he won't explain where it came from, and his "basement" could be a small city in it's own right. You're likely in one of the lower levels now. You think you remember something about a serum of some sort.

You return to the one-way mirror and try to look out of it. You can't see much but your own reflection for a moment, but then the lights seem to change oddly and you can see through it. The other side looks empty of everything but a small console and a speaker, probably for speaking with anyone inside like you are. You can't get to the speaker from here.

You don't hear any zombies. You don't think zombies are a thing that can happen anyway. You definitely feel a resident evil vibe, though!

You'd think I would pick up the vernacular after several years here, wouldn't you?

You'd think...

Anyways, have we tried opening the door?
Or searching the room?

I suggest we search the room and try to open the door.

It's amazing how I naturally assumed the door was locked.
So, yeah. Do what GreatWyrmGold said.

Naturally, the door was unlocked. You slap yourself in the forehead for being silly. Baka.

Outside of your room is greyer and dimmer than the inside. Of course, since it looks like this hallway is what the one-way mirrors lead to. They wouldn't work without the light difference.

There's a row of doors just like yours here, each one accompanied by a window inside of the blank white-

KABOOOM

Someone blows the doors off the hinges and rolls into the hallway, pointing their fingers like a gun.
"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" It's Frost!

He's lost his customary jeans and t-shirt, replaced by another thin gown. Part of you is glad to see that nothing naughty happened during the change, and part of you is just happy to see Frost without much fabric in between.

Frost's hair is cut wildly, but in a good way. It comes down just far enough to cover his ears, and is tussled to masculine perfection. It's the color and sheen of cut obsidian, and the minute he sees you he breaks out into a confident half-smile that shows his perfectly white teeth. Any blemishes he might have had before (and if your remember correctly, those were very few,) are gone, and his chin seems slightly more chiseled and perfect. He looks like a greek god, and has the temper to match. Unlike a greek god, though, he sports a pair of glasses, though they only make him look cooler. They flash in the harsh light of the hallway.

"Yuki. What up, girl? What happened to you?" He takes a long moment to examine something that is most definitely not your face. "Lookin' good."

"Hey, Frost. It's good to see you. Everything's ok. I think the change was successful, but I seem to have picked up some rather inconvenient gaps in my memory during the process. Would you bring me back up to speed about everything that's happened in the past few days?"

While saying that, nonchalantly inhale and put all the air in the top of our lungs and suck in our stomach to draw attention to our chest. Then reach out with one hand and touch his cheeck...trace our finger delicately under his chin and lift it up until his gaze meets ours.

"I'm up here."

It's completely OOC for the character I had in mind... but this being a suggestion game, I can't really press back any harder than saying that. :)
