Sebastian slowly woke, a bit drowsy and not quite himself. "Ugh... where... am i?" He looked around slowly, realizing he was in a hospital room. A nurse was in the room as well, apparently dozong off here and there. "Excuse me, maam, but can you tell me where i am?"
It was an understatement to say he was confused right now, the biggest question being where he was, but a more important one quickly presented itself: How did i get here? Sebastian supposed he would ask that eventually, but it was probably better not to add that just yet. Better know where i am, first., he thought to himself, slowly sitting up.

Herbert Brinker slowly opened his eyes, and got up. He took a look around the room. He saw the nurse asleep. He muttered to himself. "Where am I?" He then took a look at the others, who still seemed to be asleep, except for one. "(Just what is going on here?)" He thought.

Alex nods awake. Looking around, he realizes that he does not know where he is. Quickly surveying his surroundings he pieces together he is in a small town clinic. He notices a twenty-some girl with dirty blond hair.
He gets up and walks up to her. "Where am I?" he asks, in a groggy, slurred voice.

The nurse woke with a little start to the gentlemen. "AH!" She'd fallen asleep... How embarrassing! "Oh- Oh... You're in Espoir village... Um... You were all found near the woods..." She sounded as confused as they were.

Daisy Sullivan stirred awake slowly, but then sat up with a start. What the- where- what's going on?
She looked around, doing her best to take in the situation. Whatever this is, it's looks like I'm not alone…

Sebastian was even more confused, but she had answered the second question he was going to ask as well, so he couldn't complain much. "I see..." More people were waking up, so that seemed like a good sign. Standing up, Sebastian withdrew a notepad and pencil, jotting the information down. "Thank you for watching over us, miss...?"

She didn't seem like a particularly confident girl, "Well... I just said, ummm... This is Espoir village... You've been here unconscious for about a week... I- I was actually going to ask what you all were doing in the woods... But I guess you don't know..."
She acknowledged the man, and introduced herself, "Oh, um... Claudia Reynolds."

"A week!?" Alex exclaims. "That's...ridiculous..." Pausing before speaking again he thinks carefully about his next words. "Do you perhaps know what happened to make us all fall asleep for a week?"

"Ugh....gaaahh.....YAH!"
The "Ugh" sounded when Ryan finally started coming to. The 'Gaaahh' sounded when he received his first view of ceiling, and a bit of the rest of the area. And it was he realized that he had never been in this room before, and that he had no bloody clue how he wound up it in, that he rose straight up in the bead, and let out that "YAH!" And then he promptly fell straight back down on the bed.
He lay there the next several second, before gathering his senses, and groggily getting himself off. He noticed that indeed, he'd never seen this place before in his life, and that it appeared to be something of a hospital room. He them remembered his his bag&hat; thankfully, they were right across on what appeared to be a desk. After making haste to grab them; he took a further look at his surroundings. There were 8 other people in the room; some were still lying down on the bed, but others were already up and about. And like he had no idea how he got there, he even less of an idea of how the others got there. 1 would already be something, but 9? It reminded him of a DS videogame he played recently; he hoped that there wouldn't be any bombs going off...
He got out his notebook, and made quick notes of what he could, and the reached for his cigarette and lighter, took a good puff. He needed it. And then he noticed that one of the others was trying to talk to some nurse; he decided he might as well walk over and make conversation; better then anything else he could think of at the moment...

"N- No... I can't say I do..." She seemed genuinely disappointed, "Even Dr. Carson was confused... I know my mother was... Well... Ranting about the possibility of spirits, but.... Well... She's just superstitious... And that'd be illogical..."

Smiling, Sebastian bowed to the nurse. "Sebastian Clearwater. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Reynolds." Turning to the one who had walked over and woke her up, he added: "Yes, i would like to know that as well... is that smoke i smell?" He added hastily, turning to see another person wake up, lighting a cigarette after yelling loudly. Wondering why he hadn't heard it that well, he felt his ears, sighing with relief. "It appears i left my headphones in again... silly me."

Hmm. Nine people in beds, and so far five of them had woken up, including Daisy. And a nurse who knew nothing about the situation beyond geography. Very strange. And troubling.
Daisy, remembering herself, swung her legs over the side of the bed and let worry cover her face. Let those others ask the questions for now… I shouldn't draw attention to myself before I know what's going on… For now, it was enough listen to the conversation.

"Can I go?" Alex asked, impatience showing in his voice. "Wait, do we have to pay for staying here? I don't have any money."
What is up with that guy's eye?
"Huh? Oh, sorry miss." He begrudgingly put out his cigarette. "So...seems like no-one really knows what the bloody hell is goin' on around here, huh?" He took another look around. He sighed, and then started talking once more. "Well, we have to start somewhere. So nurse; care to start from the beginning? And what's your story, butler guy?" He took out his notebook, in preparation to take notes.

"Sir, we were found unconscious and taken in, and you act incredibly impatient and rude despite the circumstances. You have not thanked the nurse, or the doctors for aiding us." He told the man. Turning to the nurse, he added: "My sincerest apologies for this mans rude behavior. Thank you for the hospitality, Mrs. Reynolds. Would you be so kind as to direct me to the owner of this hospital so i may express my gratitude to him as well?"
Turning to the man who was eagerly waiting with a notepad, he said: "My name is Sebastian Clearwater. Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but further conversation can wait until later, if you insist on doing so."

Herbert's eyes widened. "A WEEK!? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" He exclaimed. He got off his bed and ran around frantically. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"

... He was taken unawares by the screaming person, but, he had to get something done here. "Look, sorry about that, but you have to understand the circumstances; this kind of thing doesn't happen to ya' everyday. And besides, I'm not a morning person." He turned to the nurse. "Sorry, ma'am. Just a bit hasty, I suppose..."
Sanity not included
There was a painful impact to the top of the screaming one's head. "Urusai." came a silky, feminine voice.

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Herbert calmed down after he was hit and sat down on his bed. "Sorry about that, I get anxious sometimes." He said sheepishly. He turned to the nurse. "Thanks for taking care of us while we were out. (I guess. Just how did we end up getting unconscious anyway?)"

"The circumstances are dire, yes, but introductions can wait." Sebastian put on his headphones, trying to listen to some music to keep in control of the situation. He wasn't any happier about this than the frantic man was, but he had to keep calm.

Ryan sighed again. "Alrighty; I'll just wait a bit. Not that I want to, but I can see your point." He then started to doodle in the notepad to pass the time.

"Oh sorry, I've actually been called that before..." Embarrassed Alex turned to the notepad guy and said "Sorry about that. I'm a little...jumpy right now..."

Legends... They can be even more powerful than one realizes, sometimes overshadowing true History.
History repeats itself. And Legends are passed down and repeated from parent to child through countless generations... So, where does one draw the line between fact and fantasy?
Is it possible that the two can be one?
...
There is a little village known as Espoir village located in the mild and pleasant Mortechaîne Valley. It's a largely self-sustaining community, a rarity in the industrial, international world we live in. The town itself, being small, seems to have a timeless appearance- a charming country town everything was so much simpler away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. However, looks can be deceiving, as there is a dark power at work, a dark power that has plagued the valley for centuries... And, legend has it, still plagues it to this day.
It is on this day, everything will change.
Nine strangers were discovered unconscious at the entrance of the nearby Fléau Woods, and taken to the Whitewood Clinic in town where they've been comatose for close to a week. But their little sleep is about to end. Among them is one that can end the curse once and for all, and another who could very well aid in their damnation.
It is these people who will write a legend of their own, to pass down through eternity. A legend of how they put an end to the darkness once and for all... Or will they?
The strangers are beginning to wake up. The interior of the clinic is simple and homey, as opposed to stark-white and institution-like. The attending nurse was a girl with dirty-blonde hair that appeared to be in her twenties, diligently keeping an eye on the patients. She seemed to have nodded off from pulling all-nighters.
