[So waking up in a strange place as a mute doesn't happen every day, and Clive had been under some stress before this happened, so housemates might hear an angry thump or two from his room. Nevertheless! This network thing he's discovered looks useful.]To anyone who may see this

It'd be a waste of credit to bring us all here for no reason at all. It's probably something horrible enough that they needed to kidnap people instead of paying wages.

[endsthisway]

It's always a possibility. And considering the state of our quarters, it doesn't seem much like they kidnapped us for hard labor or something of the sort.

[remarch]

It could be a reality game. It wouldn't be the first time people got kidnapped and for video, and I bet the view count would be high if we start fighting to the death.

[endsthisway]

A reality game?...That seems sort of cruel, though I suppose it's plausible.

[failbert]

To use us as man-power for something.

[endsthisway]

As cannon-fodder, perhaps? Not a very cheerful idea.

[failbert]

I doubt they care about cheer.

[endsthisway]

Perhaps not.

I wonder how many of us are actually capable of acting as man-power, though, if that is what we have been brought here for.

Ah, there does not appear to be any information yet as to the reason for our sudden arrival! However, the accommodations appear to be quite luxurious for us to be used as man-power. One theory that I have heard is that we have been brought here by some naive fanatical being or beings that believe they are making things better for us by bringing us here.

[endsthisway]

That's an interesting theory. How many of us have lives that need to be bettered though, I wonder? Our 'kind benefactors' will probably have quite a few complaints once they appear, if this really is their reason.

Text

[youthfullotus]

If this is their reasoning, they are most likely delusional or fanatical. At the very least, they are unyouthful and wouldn't care about such complaints! Disappointing, isn't it?

Text

[endsthisway]

Are they unyouthful, or are they too young to understand? I agree it would be disappointing, though, if they refused to listen.

[endsthisway]

High-class slavery?...In that case, I wonder what exactly we're expected to do.

[endsthisway]

I'm sure that's what most of us want right now.

... They haven't told us anything.

[endsthisway]

Nothing at all? Our captors aren't very informative, are they?

[godscomplex]

That's what they're supposed to do, though.

[endsthisway]

I suppose so. Though generally I'd think they'd at least let us know what we've been captured for.
