Everyone

Gritty sleep pulls at your eyelids and you feel like you've had a good night on bad drugs. Risking a peek, you find the room is lit by a single glow-bulb. There are four single beds in all. Each with a soft material covering them. It feels pleasant against your bare skin....

Wait. You are naked? Where are your clothes? Your weapons? Who did this to you?

Pulling back the covers you find a multi-coloured array of derms stuck to your wrist. Painkillers you hope. Another thought strikes you. You cannot feel the pull of the numbers. Are you cured?

By the glow-bulb, there is a small table and a jug of what looks like water. There are six glasses. There's a simple plastic door in the wall.

OOC

Derms are little bubbles - a bit like a thick sticker. You press them against your skin and they slowly release a dose of a particular drug.

Cass sits and pulls the material around her naked body, [color=#6666CC;]"Ok where the hell am I? "[/color] she croaks her throat dry and sore. She gets up and heads for the water, covers still wrapped around her, held in place by one hand and pours a glass and drinks it down. Afterwards she thinks, "that was stupid could be drugged" and sits back on the bed trying to recover her equilibrium.

The water tastes of.... nothing other than water. There's no chemical tang nor the harsh brackishness you have grown used to. As Cass stands with the glass in her hand, she feels the warmth of the floor against her bare feet. Are you back in Nest or somewhere fancier?

Listening you can hear; well, nothing really. There's no hum of monorail, no drone of air-con fans nor the ever present murmer of the crowds. The quiet is unsettling as it's not something you are used to.

Fi smacked her tongue against the roof of her mouth trying to rid the stale taste from her mouth. The claws of sleep still raked her body as she began stirring, the sheet sweeping against her naked flesh. Abruptly she woke completely and lifted the covers to be sure that her sense of touch wasn’t fooling her “Did I miss something?” she asked looking at Cass. Without waiting for an answer Fi jumped out of the bed, unashamed by her naked flesh “Hey I spent a lot of credits getting these” she pointed to the more interesting parts of her body “No point being shy guy...or gal now is there” Fi headed over to the water and was about to gulp the glass down and then stopped “Perhaps I shouldn’t have a drink, knowing my body it will go straight through me. Must investigate the possibility of bladder enlargement. So any idea what heck is going on here, last thing I remember was snuggling a robot on the outside”

[color=#6666CC;]"Have a taste at least, it tastes damn good in comparison to the sh*t they feed us usually."[/color] Cass replies to Fi concerned that the trix would need something to stop from drying out. [color=#6666CC;]"I am not exactly shy Fi, but people pay to see my goods,"[/color] she smiles showing fang. [color=#6666CC;]"On a more serious note I have no idea how we got here, or where my clothes are.They were expensive items and I want them back."[/color]

One two three four....wait, no, no numbers! He was free, his mind purged of the algebraic hell that it had been living through for what seemed like forever. He looked down and saw that his clothes had also seemingly been purged, and then looked around and noticed the others. It was ok for them, they were basically the same - well, he wasn't exactly sure what was going on with Fi - but he had bits sticking out where the others did not, along with other bits that hadn't been there before. Hayden opened his mouth and covered his lower areas with his hands, "Where are we?" he asked tentatively.

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Morning, sleepyhead,"[/color] replies Cass as Hayden springs to his feet. [color=#6666CC;]"You don't have to cover up on my behalf, seen more of those than you've had hot meals Hayden."[/color]

[Dehoffren]

A girlish giggle slip from Fi’s lips as Cass commented “And lets face it Hayden, I’ve got one” Fi looked downwards “Somewhere”. Unable to resist quenching her thirst Fi sipped quite elegantly at the glass, striking a complete opposite to her unashamed naked stance. “Mmm this is good, it must be filtered or something, not the synth stuff I’m used too. I don’t where we are or who wants us here but they must have a serious amount of moola to afford all this”

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Just to make you feel better,"[/color] Cass drops the coverlet she was using to cover her nakedness and turns to pour Hayden a glass of water. [color=#6666CC;]"Here you go sugar,this is good stuff!"[/color]

Ophelia woke slowly. She felt lousy and where the hell was she? The last thing she remembered was fighting against the sticky enveloping threads but becoming more entangled the more she struggled. She sat up, immediately snatching the cover up in front of her as she realised she was naked. Where were her clothes? Her equipment? She could replace it all but she felt more naked than ever without it. She eyed the collection of derms on her wrist. What had been put into her? Were they responsible for the horrible way she was feeling right now? Seeing the others apparently safe but as naked as she was she let the cover fall as she stood up. Her body was good, better than the original that nature had given her in fact and they didn't seem worried, although Hayden looked a little embarrassed. "I wouldn't worry Hayden" she said, surpised at how rough her voice sounded. She was ragingly thirsty she realised. "We've seen it all before and you have no need for concern with a bod like that". She went over to the table and poured some water, sipping it cautiously. It was good, even better than the stuff she used to have back in her old life. "There's only four of us" she said, her voice returning more to normal as she sipped the water. "And only four beds set up, so anyone know why there are six glasses here?"

[Synik]

An ever so slight vibration makes the glasses chatter and chink on the table. A slow thump, thump, thump - a powerlifter? One of those robosuits you've seen down at Washport? It stops as suddenly as it started and there's a knock at the door. Three polite raps against the plastic.

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Sounds like we have a visitor,"[/color] said Cass and ignoring the fact she was naked went to open the door. Someone had stripped them, hence they'd probably already seen it all before.

[currymaniac]

Hayden took the water cautiously, still slightly perplexed by both the lack of numbers and the lack of clothes. Ophelia raised a good point, why were there six - even thinking about numbers made him shudder - glasses? Then the knock came and he watched - though slightly averting his eyes - as Cass went to open it.

[Early Bird]

"This might answer the question" Ophelia muttered under her breath as Cass approached the door. Maybe the extra glasses had been set there for whoever was about to come in. She thought about fetching a sheet to cover herself but it seemed to her that modesty of that nature might indicate weakness or intimidation to whoever was coming in. Ophelia stood with an air of confidence that she didn't quite feel, watching the door cautiously as Cass opened it and wishing she had some kind of weapon with her.

[Synik]

Cass opens the door to reveal a young SHARC stood in a fitted red t-shirt and black jeans. His arms are outstretched holding what looks like a set of folded sheets. "Hi," he says somewhat awkwardly. "Eve asked me to give you these." He stretches his arms out offering some sets of loose cotton clothes of various colours: blacks, whites, greys and creams. "I hope you're all feeling better." His silver eyes don't leave your faces as he searches for a reaction. "I'm Adam Sixteen. If you'd like to get dressed and follow me, I'll introduce you."

Behind him you can see a corridor. The walls are of rough cut red rock, the floor is that perfect smoothness you've seen in industrial zones. The air seems warm, but not hot and there's a gentle scent of pine or perhaps something... surgical. Whatever was making those massive footprints has moved on.
