COMMENCE EXPERIMENT
Fun fact: Did you know that the Pacific Ocean has a surface area of 62.46 million miles? That's not even accounting for depth.
You awaken to a sharp jolt, like you've just hit the drop on a roller coaster. Then it passes, and you're in a bed, suddenly very clearly awake. Is that right? Were you asleep? Your memory is a little fuzzy as you come down off the adrenaline, but it puts itself into place soon enough. This is not, as one might say, your beautiful house. If you have a beautiful wife, she sure isn't here.
The positioning of the bed inside your new room gives you a very clear indication of where you are - or at least, where the building is. Above you is a decent-sized window looking out on... well, the ocean. But not in a fun beachside resort way, to say the least. Fish swim by pretty frequently, here to keep you company - but they cannot hear your screams, and do not seem particularly bothered if you tap on the glass unless they're right by it. It's thick, man.
On the bedside table, you'll find two things: a key card with a number between 1 and 25 on it (no points for guessing which one is on whose, unfortunately), and a small handheld device, a little like a smartphone but mostly like a blackberry? Remember those? Anyway, accessing it will reveal only a scarce few functions: a list of profiles, a map of the building, and a very ominous set of rules. You might try to ignore that last one! Unfortunately, you'll find them in a frame by your door. And in a frame somewhere in every room of the place, if you go out exploring at all. The tablet also has a message for you when you open it:
Greetings. Please take an hour to become accustomed to the facilities, then proceed to the meeting room north of your dormitories. Attendance is mandatory. - The Professor
But hey, it... it also lets you play Snake! Who doesn't love Snake, huh?
Anyway, head out into the halls! Make some new friends - or maybe enemies, wouldn't that be exciting? Look around a little! Just make sure to be back for whatever this meeting is - after all, you want a chance to face off with your captor, right?

[FUCK THIS STUPID MACHINE
Ugh, now he hates that his cape is damp, this isn't gonna be dry by the time this stupid meeting starts...]
It did, but it's going to need some time to dry. I suppose I'll just have to hang this in my room until it does...
[uuuuuugh, this suuuuucks, he's not gonna be able to keep his aestheeeeetic...]
no subject
[oh my god you overdramatic dumbasses]
At least your cape will dry eventually.
no subject
[oh my god just put on a shirt you big baby, you can go without your security blanket for a few hours]
no subject
[..........so that isn't armor, that's just your chest wow okay then.]
What are you?
[It's blunt, sure, but she's not trying to be rude. It's curiosity more than anything, she isn't really bothered at all that Lif isn't human.]
no subject
[Honestly, he's gotten so used to all the weird questioning today that the bluntness doesn't even phase him. It's fine...this is just his life now...]
I haven't been human in quite a while. It's...interesting to get used to it again.
no subject
What is a zombie? I've never heard that term before.
no subject
A living corpse, essentially. Something that's neither fully alive, nor fully dead.
no subject
[don't worry my dude, we've got zombies, they just aren't called zombies.]
I imagine things work a bit differently for you than it does for them. As far as I'm aware, no one actually knows how draugr are created; they're believed to be the remains of those who served the dragons when they ruled over Skyrim. A punishment for their decision to choose such cruel masters, or something like that.
[So. Probably not applicable to Lif.]
I won't ask any more about it if you don't want to share. It changes nothing anyway.
[She's still going to want to smack you with a weapon once we find them, okay!!!]
no subject
...You know, he has to close his eyes briefly at that. He's lucky that most of his face is unreadable, because he doesn't even want to imagine the expression he'd be making were he more human. But whoof. It's not entirely applicable, but there's definitely something about it that rings true.
Never the less, the expression doesn't last for long.]
Your world sounds like an interesting place; I may have to ask you more about it, at some point.
[But, with an expression that almost seems vaguely positive--]
You have my thanks; I'll be looking forward to our match, when we have proper weaponry to utilize. For now...I'm going to take care of this, and take my leave.
Stay well, Aela.
[Lif will be off shortly after, though.]
no subject
[rip lif's cape, you suffered so much.........]
