So, from what I've been able to figure out, it looks like people arrive in this city pretty regularly -- once a week exactly.
We have to play along with this place's rules and fight each other or we'll be punished, we have to go to school or we'll be punished, and so forth.

Since I'm new here, naturally I'm rather out of the loop, so there's a lot I have yet to learn.
For now I'd like to get to know my fellow prisoners, if that's all right with you.
So if you don't mind, tell me -- What is your name, which school are you at, and where were you before you came here?

I'm Dirk, at Fortitude, and I'm from Houston. Pleasure to meet you all.

That makes sense. In another world where things happened differently, I see no reason I couldn't have had siblings. The parents I can't remember may have made different choices.
Sure are some pretty deep and personal memories the game decided to take from us.

You got it. We were all set to start on the same day I was brought here.
Funny coincidence that probably isn't a coincidence at all: We had a Lalonde, too. Roxy.

as far as i know, that is not me. i know nobody by that name.
now, anyway. perhaps things are different back home.
perhaps roxy even lives with me.
in any case, she is not here now.
tell me about your other session members
and whether their names are harley and egbert

[fracturedsoul]

I'm sure I would have seen her if she were. Her drunken pink text is recognizable from fifty yards.
Jake English and Jane Crocker, actually.

[overthroen]

no relation to the legendary figure of boxed baking goods, i suppose.

[fracturedsoul]

Yes relation. She's the heir to Crockercorp.

[overthroen]

please be joking.
well, that's a definite difference between our universes.
though your friends' names are similar to john's and jade's.

[fracturedsoul]

I really fucking wish I were.
No kidding. They look similar, too.

[overthroen]

you don't say. perhaps our universes are closer than we realized.
and you're one of the few groups here who know what sburb is.
that doesn't seem to be a coincidence.

I'm sure once we all buy our memories back this will make perfect sense.

[ For now, it's just extremely frustrating. ]
