Who: SOME DUDE IN YELLOW (and his shouta ghost)
Where: The main room of Orion dorms (and, eventually, just outside, if you need an excuse)
When: Day 83, Morning.
What: Intro~

*The new blank has promptly confiscated the largest knife he can find, and his holding it with a fair amount of confidence for someone who has no memory of how to use it. It is not time to systematically check all the other rooms in the dorms. He pushes the doors open quietly, and seems quite prepared to stab anyone if necessary.

And, for those who can see such things, there is a small ghost child floating behind him*

Orion is the name of our team. We have six members, apparently including yourself.

In total... [He pauses a moment to think about this for a few seconds.] ...around sixty. That's not counting people who have been taken or recently arrived, though.

*frowns*

Outside this... building?

Yes.

I didn't count the judges, or the judge's team, either.

[Still watching that knife. >_>]

...tell me about the Judges.

Since you just woke up, I'll give you a hint.

You'll have better luck asking for favors when you're not standing in people's doorways holding a knife.

Are you done being useful, then?

That would depend on you.

We have to work together, so it's in my best interests to see that you don't get yourself killed. But if you'd rather wander off without knowing anything, I'm not going to stop you.

*...lowers his knife so that it's not pointed at you?*

...that's a start. Now either come in all the way and close the door or go out and we can talk at the table.

*comes in the rest of the way and closes the door*

Tell me about the Judges.

The judges run this place.

They're the ones that brought us here and arrange the games we have to play in. They're very powerful, very sadistic, and can do whatever they want to us for fun.

They'll know where my body is?

[You are getting. A bit of a long look for that.]

It's not here?

It's somewhere. But this isn't it. The owner is here, though you can't see him.

[......have a much longer look this time.]

Where is he, exactly? And why do you have his body?

*points to a corner, pauses, as if listening to something*

We don't know. He can't control it, but he perceives what I do. ...what does it mean?

[Tiiips his head to one side and looks at the indicated spot.]

I have no idea.

What does he look like?

A small boy. Black hair, pale skin. Not so different from this form.

...and your body? Do you know what that's meant to be like?

No.

How do you know you have another one, then?

I know.

...if I had to guess, I'd say that if there are two of you and only one body, the judges left the other one wherever you came from when they took you here.

Then the Judges can bring it here, or return me there.

They could bring it here, potentially. There are ways to get things from the place you came from- tasks you can do for them or their team that allow you to be given something in exchange. I've never heard of it done with a body, but as far as I know, no one has been missing one before.
