Figured I might as well advertise this a bit more. So, here's a peek at the first chapter. The real first chapter will replace this once more characters come in and if/when there're early acceptions

Chapter 0-1: Meeting of Suspicious Minds

Aishi packed the last of his files in his briefcase as he stood from his desk. Just had to take care of any loose ends before he left for the conference, any last minute trials and discussions already taken care of. The files he had just packed were to showcase his own Talent and see if anyone was interested in his field.

"Alright, time to close up." He said to himself as he grabbed his keys and headed out the front, locking the door behind him. He walked down to the sidewalk when a limo pulled up in front of him, the Hope's Peak symbol displayed on the door. The window rolled down a bit so he could hear the driver but couldn't really see them with the tinted windows and all.

"Aishi Oowato?" The driver asked.

"That's me. Are you my ride?" Aishi asked.

"That's right. I'm taking you to the airport so hop in." The driver said before the window rolled up again.

"Should've known from my alma mater." Aishi said as he entered, relaxing in his seat as the limo took off. He took out his phone to check any messages but oddly enough found that the signal was down.

"Excuse me? How come I'm not getting any service?" He asked the driver.

"Ah, it's to prevent us drivers from getting distracted and get into any accidents. Don't worry too much about it." The driver said as a sweet smell was noticed in the air.

"What's that smell?" Aishi asked as he yawned softly, his eyelids growing heavy.

"Just relax, you'll be there before you know it..." The driver's voice drifting off as Aishi's slipped into unconsciousness.

A small crash suddenly jarred Aishi back into consciousness, jolting up before groaning and holding his head.

"Ow..." He groaned out as he took a minute to collect himself, sitting on the carpeted floor, which took him a while to register.

"What the-?" He looked down to see he was indeed on the floor before looking up to see he was sitting in some kind of booth.

"Wasn't I just heading to the airport? When did I get here?" He asked himself as he slowly got up, brushing the dust off his outfit before he stopped and patted his pockets.

"Damn it, what happened to my phone?" He took a quick look around the booth to see if it was lying nearby, but didn't find it. An aggravated sigh left his mouth.

"Alright, this is not the best situation. Better find out where the hell I am and if anyone else is here." He said as he exited the booth, only to find himself in a large conference hall with multiple other booths and stands set up. Only it was completely silent and devoid of people.

"Creepy..." He muttered before taking a breath. "Hello?" He called out. "Is anyone here?!"

Another crash was heard nearby as he turned towards the sound.

And that's it for the little peek. Hope you enjoyed the taste of this chapter. I'm rather in need of characters so feel free to send whatever kind of character you want. The deadline is still December 25th, so still plenty of time. Anyways, I'll see y'all later!
