ALCHEME

[idolpro]

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

[ the hand not irritably rubbing at her eyes goes to his shoulder ]

[irregular]

[He's trying to wave her away; it probably isn't working too well. No: you're fighting it. Go with it. It's the only option you got.]

What now?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[COUGHS UP SOME WATER. And then just... keeps coughing for a bit. Whew.

This would be the place for a sarcastic comment like GREAT HE LOVES PLAYING THE DROWNING GAME but he's also lost all ability to comprehend jokes, because he needs to have an even harder time understanding what people are saying, right.]

[featherbeaned]

[ ... PATS?? HIM ON THE BACK???? ]

[fromthedepthsof]

[Thanks pal. He'll give a thumbs up in place of an I'M FINE DW, since he doesn't want to aggravate his throat into MORE coughing.]

[featherbeaned]

[ pat pat ... but she pulls her hand away at the thumbs up ]

Right. 'Kay. Cool. So, hm, now we gotta decide what we're doing next.

[ Rubs her eyes, almost irritably ]

[fromthedepthsof]

[featherbeaned]
