A MYSTERY

???

The sound of soft music which starts off soft, but slowly becomes louder over time. It's relaxing music, at least. But if that isn't enough to rouse you, then perhaps the sound of the voice that speaks up will.

"Wake up. If you do not, you will die. I do not wish for you to die." The voice is not discernible by any means; it is, however, a soothing voice that can be seen as both male and female, young and old.

Once awoken, you will find yourself in a lounge that is vastly different from the one they fell asleep in. And not only that, you will also find yourself completely and utterly alone. The voice seems to be coming from somewhere, but it's hard to figure out where. The room itself seems to be rather large, too. If you take a peek behind the couches, you will find a whiteboard and some markers. The table in front of the couch has food of their liking as well.

But more importantly, you may find that there are doors to other rooms in here - one on the far left and right - the one to the left provides a walk-in closet full of weapons galore, magical or otherwise while the one on the right provides protective gear. The rooms, however, don't seem to be humanly possible, as they seem to go on forever; they look like they are maintained by magic of some sort.

Nevertheless, the voice will eventually speak up once again, as if to remind you that it's not a hallucination or dream, speaking up in that calm voice:

"Hello. I suppose you are wondering why you're here, after being taken away from your home and brought to Town A. Do not worry. You have not left. This is just an area that the others cannot access without a special key. Now then, I bet you have some questions. Go ahead and ask them, if you would like."

And now, the floor is yours, to do as you please. Although it might not be wise to simply ignore the voice.

[It doesn't take him long to wake up. He's sensitive to these things thanks to his 'previous life' of an assassin. Though it's the person's words that really get to him. 'If he doesn't wake up, he'll die' and with that he sits right up and looks around. Honestly, this looks even different from where he was before...

...how many of these trips is he going to go on?

He gets up to look at the whiteboard to see if there's anything there and specifically at the markers.

Then to the food-- he doesn't touch it though. He doesn't trust anything quite yet. Perhaps he's being overly cautious, but he feels like he has every right to be.

Though it's the room that capture his attention, especially the ones with all the weapons. He doesn't use protective gear all too often, so he'll look at that later.

But tde weapons. The weapons! There's no doubt that as much as this makes him uneasy, he's also excited. After all, there was a reason he used to work at a weapons' store.

Though he turns to the room when he hears the voice.]

I have a lot of questions, to be honest. What exactly is going on and why am I here? Why are you showing me this, specifically? And...

What did you mean when you said that you 'did not wish for me to die'?

[That gets him the most since he legitimately was just saved from a suicide mission by a girl who can't keep her nose out of anything...]

[Joshua is back to write some preliminary findings on the whiteboard. It's a good place to keep information. There's the thought to keep a notebook, but that's probably not a wise idea right now. He'd have no justification for it and he thinks he can rely on his memory. Usually he can.

But while he's here writing on the whiteboards, he may as well talk to the mysterious voice.]

Hey, what's your name? I don't believe I asked.
