How many goodly creatures are there here! :: GAME OPENER

Welcome to Baedal.

These are the first words newcomers hear when the door opens and they are invited into their new world. Some fuss, some fight, some need time before they have the courage to step outside. Others, shell-shocked or jaded, go quietly along with the proceedings.

They are given brief instructions; a repeat of what's described in the pamphlet and a door key.

Please stay in your room. There will be dinner soon.

It's been almost a day for some. For others, only an hour's wait. The latest newcomer is lead straight from the arrival room to the dining hall where candles and lanterns have been set out to compensate for failing electricity. (Those who have been here longer explain about rolling blackouts.) The food, however, is warm, varied and plentiful. Seating is open, and less conventional chair are available to those who need them.

There are many strange faces around the table, the majority of these recent arrivals. The proprietor of the Valhalla Inn is here, as is some of her staff. The Sheriff of Mog Hill is introduced, his function detailed. The reason for the dinner is explained:

It's a celebration. A new cohort has finally been officiated; CeidaryBlue523. Your cohort. Please. Introduce yourself. Mingle. Get to know your fellows, they will be your brothers and sisters for as long as you live in this city.

Ianto straightened and nodded with conviction he didn't feel. He knew a defeatist attitude wouldn't help, even if he found it more realistic at this point than a positive one. But he wasn't going to just give up without a fight, no matter how hopeless. And with Jack by his side, he always felt he could accomplish so much more than he could alone. So with a little effort, he calmed himself and gathered his thoughts.

"You're right. I'll start doing some research, see if we can find any common denominators. If we can figure out the why, maybe we can figure out the how -- and how to reverse it and send us back home."

Jack nodded, pleased that Ianto wasn't insisting on being pessimistic about this. There was only so much optimism he could offer up at that moment, and he was pretty sure he'd kind of reached his quota already.

"I'll see what I can find from talking to people, gathering information. They got us here pretty easily, right? How bad could it be to find a way out?" he joked.
