You hear a robotic, femenine, voice. Good Morning. Or is it afternoon? I'm not entirely sure anymore. You see, my internal clock stopped working. I do not know how long it's been since it stopped working because my internal clock is no longer working.

These are the words that you wake up to. You find yourself in a pod-like bed. If you look around, you see that you are in a white room about 103'. The source of the voice appears to be a speaker set up in a corner of the room above your "bed"

A quick check of your vital signs indicates that you are alive. A coursory brainscan indicates that you are not dreaming. These are both good things. If you were not alive, you would be unable to participate in the test that we have set up for you. Being unable to participate will result in your immediate failure.

A door slides open in front of you, leading into a large outdoor area with a tall clock tower in the center. The hands on the clock indicate that it is either noon, or midnight. The sun appears to be high in the sky, so your best guess would be that it is noon.


"Damn...my head..." Chris Redfield rubs his temples in an attempt to alleviate his pounding headache. He rises from his "bed" and staggers out of his room. Before he can check if he left anything important in the room, the door snaps shut and the entire room (which looked like little more than a giant cube) sinks into the ground.

"Wesker..." Chris reaches for his gun, but finds that it's missing. "What's your game, Wesker? Come on out!"


The disembodied voice suddenly returns. Welcome, Participants, to Happy Fun Town. This is where your testing will take place. As you look around, you notice that you seem to be in a town of some sort. You can't see any citizens or activity of any kind.

Please direct your attention to the clock tower in the center of the testing area. The clock's minute hand ticks forward. You have passed the first part of the test: Participation. Well Done. Your next test will occur in [59 Minutes]. Please take this time to get to know your fellow participants.

Failure to do so will result in your immediate expulsion from the testing area, and an automatic failing mark on your test data.

No pressure.

"OH MY FUCKING WORSHIPED ABSTRACTION IN THE SKY- SHIT, I MEAN GOD." Karkat was so thrown off by the suddenness of his situation that when the voice- that was probabaly in his head because he had finally taken a graceful backflip and three mid air somersaults off the diving board that was the edge of his sanity- mentioned that he was still alive, the first thought that came to mind wasn't a general curse at everything for not having killed him yet, but rather a momentary but frighteningly genuine desire to care about what was going on. Then he remembered that it didn't matter and proceeded to grumble expletives into thin air as he drew up and out of the bed. He then went out.

"HAPPY FUN TIME? AS IF SOMEONE SERIOUSLY COULDN'T BE ANY MORE BLATANTLY LYING THROUGH THE SPACES BETWEEN THEIR TEETH." Karkat instinctively pulled Clawsickle from his modus, ready to stab it through the nearest person to him regardless of whether they were actually a threat or not.

Ty Lee awoke, surprised, and ran out of the cube room.

"Who are you?" she asked the voice, while she continued walking. "Testing?"

Pikachu leaps up, and onto all fours, "Pika?" He scampers out of his room, and quizzically looks around.

Still a bit sleepy, Link at first did not attempt to leave the small pod. He had been working hard the past few days, travelling throughout the lands of Hyrule and destroying any remains of the armies from the bad guy, someone by the name of Sodalg, who had attempted to kidnap the princess with his army of darkness beings. Link was, of course, called to help, and in a few days, Sodalg had been defeated and the kingdom was safe once again. Now, he was on his home in the capital of Hyrule, enjoying some good res—

Wait a second. This didn't look like the capital... in fact, this didn't look like anything he had ever seen in his entire life. Leaving the pod, he jumped back in surprise at the voice that apparently came out of nowhere, and immediately pulled out his Master Sword, and the shield from his back... or at least tried to. His faithful sword and shield had disappeared. Terrified of losing his two greatest weapons, he began to search for them, ignoring the voice, until she mentioned "other people". Maybe they know where the Master Sword was. With a grunt, he left the cube room, looking around for anyone that seemed, well... friendly. After a few minutes of searching, he heard the voice of what sounded like a female teenager, and walked towards the source of the voice.

Dan groaned and rubbed his skull. Something was talking... at him? He remembered getting back into the coffin to get back into that eternal rest thing, but... no rest for the undead, it seemed.

His boney fingers grasped the edge of the pod and he crawled out, flopping down and falling onto the floor with a bit of a crash. He got up mostly in tact, aside from holding his detached left arm in his right hand. He rolled his eye and said something... but it didn't come out as anything understandable. As he left the cube and entered the area of congregation, he looked at the others. A strange big fairy-man, some girl, and a huge yellow rodent.

The skeleton cursed his luck and re-attached his arm with some more uninteligible mumbling. "Why always me?"

Ty Lee first notices the Clock Tower, which didn't matter much to her. Then she noticed what appeared to be some kind of giant mouse. "Awwww!" She cartwheeled over to the creature, and picked it up. "Aren't you a cuty!" she said, before setting it down and scratching it's back.

Then, she saw a couple of guys, who appeared a little disoriented.

Then she saw the skeleton. "What the-" she said, and leaped back, ready to defend herself from the strange creature.

Chris scratched the back of his neck as the other "participants" came into view. A teenaged girl, a pair of seemingly teenaged boys (Great, Chris thought. Kids...), a large, yellow rodent of some kind, and...

He suddenly tensed up at the sight of the zombie and instictively reached for his gun. Still wasn't there... "Shit..." He narrowed his eyes as the zombie reattached its arm. Then it just stood there, mumbling to itself. Oddly, it didn't seem interested in attacking anyone, so he decided to leave it be...for now, but he still stepped in between it and the girl.

"What the Hell's going on here?"


Reminder: The next test will being in [49 Minutes]. I see you are all participating in the [Second Part] of this battery of your own free will and have not been coerced in any way. Excellent.

Some of you may be wondering who this voice belongs to. This voice technically belongs to Aperture Science. Wait. No it doesn't. It belongs to me. I am the test's Proctor, Gla DOS. I will be overseeing this battery of tests that will be performed on you all. If you are wondering why you are all here, the answer is simple. You have been chosen. For Science. And Fun. But mostly Science.

He looks Chris over with his one eye and stands, putting his hands to his hips as he mumbles something. "Mumphmm lump umfaa grumphamumm! Wrumphadumagrumm rumbdumb?" "I am Sir Daniel Fortesque! What are you looking at me like that?"

Seeming mildly annoyed at first, her turns and scratches the top of his skull with a bony finger. His other hand held out in a curious manner. "Wumphagrummbemmblblmmm?" "What do you think they're going to do with us here?"

Ty Lee, now over her fear of the creature, leaped over Chris, and put out her hand.

"Is that mumbling the only way you can talk?" she asked.

He nodded with a groan, but took her hand and bowed before her as a greeting. His chestplate and poofy shoulders... his old-world pantaloons and leather boots gave him a very... Old-England Knight appeal.

Link scratched his blonde hair. He just saw what appeared to be a teenage girl performing complex acrobatics, a living skeleton and... a yellow mouse. He had a feeling that he had seen that mouse somewhere before. A feeling of a respect, similar to the one between two fighters on a tournament, came into his mind. He opened his mouth to speak, but decided not to, and simply approached the group with his hands raised to indicate he was not a threat and was unarmed.

"Oh, that's to bad..." Ty Lee said. She giggled a little at the bow. "How cute!" she thought.

Seeing the newcomer, she waved.

Karkat was this close to stabbing the girl doing acrobatic as fuck flips and stuff but a sudden burst of altruism made him stay his hand. Unlike Link however he didn't bother to mask the fact that he was armed; in fact he held the Clawsickle so as to play up the fact that he was a threat as he approached.

"ALRIGHT. NOW IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE LOT OF US HAVE BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST OUR WILLS INTO A CONTRIVED SITUATION THAT WILL DOUBTLESS RESULT IN ALL OF OUR DEATHS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. TO ALLOW ME A PEACEFUL DEATH I'M GOING TO PRETEND NONE OF YOU EXIST AND HOPE YOU GO AWAY SO I CAN DIE AS I LIVED, POINTLESS AND ALONE."

Link was surprised not only by Ty Lee's friendly wave, but also by Karkat's weird way to talk. Did he really have to scream so much? And when he finished his request, he was even more surprised that Ty Lee reacted so nicely to it. He turned towards the man and screamed something that sounded like a mix of "hey" and "heya", and started swinging his arms around, trying to tell him to not go away, and that they should stay together.

Chris's soldier training kicked in as he observed the group of...he wasn't entirely sure he could call them all people...around him.

The horned guy seemed like he was the most dangerous. His weapon looked pretty wicked. Not to mention, he seemed like he read a little too much Nietzsche and wasn't held enough as a child.

The "elf" kid carried a sword and didn't speak much. The marks of a true warrior. He didn't seem psychotic, though.

The girl was agile. She kind of reminded him of his former partner, Becky Chambers. The mouse/racoon/thing didn't seem dangerous at all, but if GlaDOS was testing him, then she/it had to have a good reason. Or maybe not. A.I.'s were weird that way.

He resoved to keep a close eye on the zombie. He made a "V" with his forefingers and pointed from himself to the zombie as if to say "I'm watching you."

"So...you guys have names? That might be a good start. I'll go first. Name's Chris Redfield."

Link actually smiled at the sight of someone who didn't look crazy or screamed every single word. He opened his mouth again to say his name, but decided he shouldn't say a word until he trusted the people around him. He did proceed to write "Link" on the ground.

"YOU. YOU I CAN RESPECT." Karkat nodded at Ty Lee, impressed by her apparent apathy towards his being. It was exactly what he had been looking for in his last batch of friends that he hadn't gotten, probably because they had been his friends. "NAME'S KARKAT VANTAS. YEAH, I KNOW. I HATE IT TOO."

Link grabbed Pikachu, feeling a bit weird as he received a hug from the strange creature. He had seen it- no, he was 100% sure that they even fought together. He gave Pikachu a puzzled look before smiling and returning the hug.

"Awwww!" Ty Lee said, "Do you two know each other?"

Ty Lee looked a little unsure of the voice's meaning.

Link shrugged, scratching Pikachu's head. He looked at the sky, listening to the voice telling them about an incoming test. He raised an eyebrow, looking at Ty Lee, and pointed towards the sky, as if asking if she knew what the voice was.
