You walk over to the piece of paper first. You start reaching down to pick it up before realizing it has a pleasant crinkle to it, patting it with a sudden sense of delight. You can’t help but giggle, cutting yourself off as the sound echoes through the room.
You feel...watched.
You hurriedly pick up the paper.
The scribbles on it are foreign, but the longer you hold it, the weirder you start to feel. Some of the characters on the paper start making...sense, somehow.
You realize that you’re reading the piece of paper, and that it is actually a letter.
Dear Newcomer- welcome to the Maze Trials!
You are our newest spawned resident, and are now under observation. Do not worry, you will be cared for in our state of the art facility, and everything will be provided for your needs. Do your best to consider this your new home.
Please put on your standard issue jumpsuit. Do not worry if it looks ill fitting, it will conform to fit your typing. The following hallway will scan you and enter you in our database so that we can best serve you, and then you will have access to your personal quarters.
We hope you enjoyed your first taste of reading, this skill note a complimentary gift from SkillSet Interactive Technologies!
You...do not know what a database is, or a scan, or half of these other things, but the whole thing is weirding you out a bit.
You set the paper down and go check out the fabric next, approaching with a bit more caution this time. The paper mentioned some kind of “jumpsuit”, and something in the back of your head says that it could be clothing upon looking at it. You pull at one of the long pieces- a sleeve, your mind corrects- and you could swear the thing moves.
You drop it immediately.
You move away from the jumpsuit very quickly to check the wall for any signs of a way out of the room- maybe some kind of secret passage. Unfortunately though, there’s nothing there but smooth tile...you can’t find passages or doors of any kind, secret or otherwise. There’s nothing even indicating that hallway the letter mentioned, so you have no idea what that’s on about.
All that you have in here is the letter and the jumpsuit.
