...
Miles would awake in a strange room- four gray stone walls surrounded her, and a stone floor, with a clear glass ceiling showing various stars and galaxies above. It would be almost beautiful, if not for the circumstances.
The room itself was mostly featureless, just the four walls with no decor... And seemingly no exit??
Miles sat in the middle of the room, a migraine fading from his head as he woke up. The tingling was gone, and he had full control over his body. He was sat against a wall, and there was a set of chains on the wall beside him but he was not bound.
There was a man in the room. With black hair and green highlights- shaved on one side with an intricate pattern. Their eyes were dark voids, besides one pinprick of white, glowing light. He wore a flowing open robe, green pants, and green dress shoes. His body was riddled with red scars-.. Burns, maybe? His right arm was bandaged up and shaking slightly. A few beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
In his left hand, he held a small bag. It smelled good- like some kind of fresh food was inside.
As Miles stirred, he looked over, smiling. He held his shaking right hand out toward Mile's head as he walked.
"Hoyseksagu." He said. His voice sounded like the final voice that was chanting in his head before he vanished.

Well, despite the circumstances, Miles stared up at the ceiling with wide eyes. He pressed a hand to the wall to help prop himself up as he stood, eyes fixed on the ceiling until his shifting caused the chains to rattle. That caught his attention at the very least. He stared at the chains, then finally looked over to the stranger. "Are those- are those supposed to be on me?" He asked a little hoarsely. "Cause they're not. If they are I can- well, I was gonna say I could put them on myself but that'd defeat the point. Of being chained up. I think."
His eyes travelled jaggedly around the stranger - his hair, then the bandaged arm, then his eyes, then the bag of what smelt like food, then the outfit and in turn the scars. Then the bag again. Mm. Miles cautiously stepped forward cautiously - then, when the stranger spoke, the familiar voice had him stumbling back to fall on his ass. "The counting guy?" He asked aloud.

1:08 AM
The man paused as Miles stood, but didn't put his hand down.
"Chno." Rakin shook his head calmly at the chain question. He simply rolled his eyes at the 'counting guy' comment, not gracing that one with a response.
He reached out and placed his bandaged right hand on Miles' head. A feeling of electricity shot through him- but it didn't hurt. It just ached, like he was racking his brain trying to figure out a really hard math problem. The feeling faded after a few seconds, and the man put his arm back to his side, now trembling more than before.
"There, now you can understand me." He smiled. He held out the bag to him. "You seemed to be hungry when our host was monitoring you. So I did you a favor and prepared you something small. We would hate you to be malnourished before the festivities can truly begin." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 1:22 AM
Miles should have felt more concerned when Rakin approached and reached out but he really didn't have any survival instincts so he really just let Rakin touch his head. Idiot got shocked. He blinked a couple times to try bat the ache away, which seemed to work - though it was unlikely related to the blinking, he'd like to believe so.
However weird the situation was, he quickly got over it as the bag was held out to him; Miles could barely wait for actual permission to be given before he took the bag, righting himself to open the bag. "Ohh you guys are awesome! Mr Campbell's bread is great and all but it's a hassle to like find a drink to have with it cause it nearly took my tooth out when I first had some so I learned you gotta have like water or something so it doesn't break your teeth, yknow?" He looked into the bag curiously, then glanced at Rakin as he said 'yknow', as if to see if Rakin really did 'yknow'.

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 8:07 AM
".. Mhm." Rakin simply nodded. Inside the bag, there was some kind of burger. It was so greasy it was staining the inside of the bag. "That is the most calorie heavy food our host could find. Three hamburgers, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, bacon, all between two buns.. And then smothered in more cheese. That should give you energy for a while. It at least shouldn't break your teeth. It's very fresh, just teleported here before you woke up." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:04 AM
Miles beamed and almost tore the bag apart with his eagerness. He picked up the burger and began to eat it. "MMPH!" His first declaration was completely muffled by the food but he had least had the sense to chew and swallow most of his bite before he spoke again, "Oh this is amazing. I don't think I've ever had anything like this- I might've but I dunno, I think I'd remember, yknow? Ohhhh~ my Godddd." He took another bite before he'd even finished the first, letting his forehead rest against the top bun. "Mm," he hummed, food still in his mouth, "I think this is even better than Mr Campbell's bread."

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 10:11 AM
Rakin made a face at watching Miles destroy that burger. That was pretty gross. And that burger was nasty- just dripping with fat and grease and salt.
"We teleported it in from a 'Wendy's', whatever that is. So I suppose if you live to see the end of this, you should go back there for another." He sighed. ".. I would very much hope that it's better than his weeks old bread. It was a lot of hassle." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:17 AM
Miles didn't notice Rakin's face or the absolute state of himself as he decimated that burger. "I dunno Wendy but she is killing it," he said through another bite. "I don't really like stealing directly though and I really doubt people are gonna be throwing this thing out but I'll havta try my luck." He closed his eyes with another content hum and he chewed a bite that was big enough to silence him.
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 10:21 AM
".. eugh.." Rakin mumbled as he kept slobbering all over that poor burger. Maybe he should have gotten him something less disgusting to eat, but he'd probably still find a way to be a freak about it. "Do you have any questions for me..? That's- that's why I actually brought you here. Not just to give you dinner." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:24 AM
Miles looked up at the question, teeth already on the burger to take another bite - he was only halfway through the biggest bite he'd ever taken in his life, slow down loser. He had the sense to withdraw his mouth and swallow enough burger to be able to speak. "Ouggghh, bit too big of a swallow," he grumbled to himself, patting his chest. "Um. Questions. Uh. Yeah, I guess I have questions? Umm." He went quiet again, pondering exactly what questions to ask and also chewing down his food before he swallowed. "Uuuuhhmm..."

"I simply request you pause your eating when you are speaking directly to me. That sound of your- mouth is simply atrocious. Eugh.. How you and your human bodies eat-" @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:30 AM
Miles nodded. "Yeh totally!" He said, swallowing quickly after. "It's just- it's so good, yknow? Never had anything so good like this, yknow?" He nodded to himself, asserting his point. "Uh. Question. Questions. Oh- uh, where am I?"

"You're in space. In The Maze." Rakin smiled, glad that that infernal noise was done for the time. "You're here to put on a show for us to celebrate the rebirth of one of the most important species in the universe. You should be honored we considered you." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:38 AM
Miles stared at Rakin, eyes wide but clearly not fully understanding. 'Space', check, 'Maze', check, 'rebirth of species' no dice. "I'm in space?!" He sounded more excited than anything. "Space is like- space is so cool, I'm in it??"

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 10:40 AM
".. Yes, Miles. Just look up." He pointed up at the ceiling, which showed off the distant stars and galaxies. "It's not just an image. It's real." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 10:54 AM
(body horror man's stretching)
Miles did indeed stand up, carrying the burger with him, and he stared up at the ceiling again. "I thought we were like in a field or something!"
As he stood, there was a crunching sound and Miles' legs began to grow in length. Though his skin stretched with his legs, it was much more taut and strained but Miles didn't seem to notice as it brought him closer to the ceiling. His legs shook, his bones audibly cracking, but managed to hold his weight. Once he was at the ceiling, he gently put his hand on the glass and stared up at the stars. "Whoa...!"

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 11:00 AM
Rakin looked on in interest as Rakin stretched upward. He wasn't frightened, but he did take a step back just in case he were to fall on him. He did glare a bit as he saw the greasy fingerprints appear on the glass roof. That would be annoying to clean..
Miles wouldn't be able to see out side to side (AKA to see the maze connected to this room), but be had a much wider field of view of the void around them. Stars and galaxies for as far as the eye could see..
But also scattered across the horizon was debris. It looked like it had been some kind of high-tech spaceship base, with pieces of smooth metal and colorful wiring frozen in the sky. It was large too, as he could only see a small fraction of the area around, but the pieces he could see were already larger than a regular spaceship.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? The Abyss calls.."
@soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 2:23 PM
(body horror again bc of powers)
Miles didn't see Rakin's glare as he smeared his fingers against the window curiously, his other hand holding the burger. He then pressed his forehead to the glass, his eyes wide to capture the enormity of what he was seeing. "Whoa..." He grinned, his light laughter steaming up the glass. "Space looks even better than I thought it would!"
He turned to look at - rather down at - Rakin smiling and his legs took that as a cue to return to normal. A lot of crunching ensued again and his skin sagged before tightening into place, but Miles still paid no notice. Once he was back at a regular height - maybe a smidge taller - he grinned at Rakin. "So cool. I love stars, man. Best part about not having a roof." He lifted his burger to his mouth again and took another bite. His fingers had driven halfway through the meat and toppings from how tightly he'd held it with the burger itself a little crushed, but still edible.

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 4:19 PM
".. You're a very strange man." Rakin muttered as Miles shrunk back down. "..... anyway. Someone was spying on you from your bag, so we confiscated it. If there are any items you absolutely require from it, make your request now and I'll consider." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 4:49 PM
Miles blinked. Still chewing, he looked around and noticed his absent bag. "Oh! Um. Uhh." He looked down at himself. "Well... everything I own is in there! Aaand I'm supposed to always keep it on me so uh, might need that back." He chuckled awkwardly and took another bite of the burger.
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 4:52 PM
"You're not getting the bag." Rakin said. "Tell me what you want from it and I will consider. This is my only offer." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 4:58 PM
"...but I'm supposed to have it." Miles was more confused than argumentative. "Uh... my clothes are in there. That's kinda it, I don't carry a lot."
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 5:07 PM
"Why do you think you need the bag so badly." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 5:10 PM
Miles stuffed the rest of the burger in his mouth - there wasn't much of it left but it still didn't fit in his mouth entirely - before he answered, eventually once he chewed enough. "Well- well, it's got my stuff. And I got told to always keep it on me so like... I gotta?"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 5:10 PM
"Who told you that." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 5:11 PM
Miles shrugged. "Oh, that I dunno, I just remember being told."
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 7:01 PM
"Well, as I said, someone was spying on you through it. So we are keeping it somewhere dark and covered." Rakin said. "But I will grab you a change of clothes from the bag. You are welcome." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 7:14 PM
Miles laughed, still very confused. "I would have seen a camera, though? Ooh, maybe they had like a trained mouse- no I think I would have spotted a mouse in my bag. Hm." He put his greasy, now-burger-free hand on his chin and tapped his foot. "Hm... I may need to wash my hands."
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 7:17 PM
"It was some kind of magic eye." Rakin gave up explaining it after that. "Anyway. You do not have to worry about washing your hands. I am going to knock you out and move you, so that will be the least of your concerns soon." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 7:19 PM
"I thought third eyes were on your head, not bags." Miles furrowed his brow in deep, deep thought. For him, at least, and it was interrupted anyway by Rakin's statement. "Wait, you're gonna what?"

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 7:22 PM
Miles didn't exactly duck down - well, he did, but most of that was his legs and torso shrinking down until he was very short. "Whoa!" He scrambled across the floor. "Is this about the bag? Or- or space?"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 10/29/2023 7:24 PM
Rakin's arm went right over his head, and he grunted, nearly falling over. He stumbled a bit on his knee.
"You insolent child, this is just about what needs to happen." Rakin huffed and turned around to face him again. "Please make this easy, I have a lot of other people I need to see today." @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 7:26 PM
"I mean I'd love to make it easy but I would also rather stay, uhm, conscious. So-!" Miles kicked his feet against the floor to push himself into a stand so he could run. To the other side of the room.

Hm. Annoying creature.
As Miles ran further away, Rakin shot his hand up in the air and disappeared in a burst of light.
He reappeared right over Miles, and landed harshly on him, forcing him to the ground. He grabbed his head with both hands and smashed it in to the ground, his hands forcing a lot of electricity in to his brain.
"Next time we speak, you'd be best to listen." He huffed, and soon the pain would overwhelm Miles to the point where he passed out. Not quite as subtle as the other ones had been....... @soul | 🎻

soul | 🎻 10/29/2023 7:35 PM
Miles practically splatted on the ground as Rakin landed on top of him. He tried to yelp something that sounded like 'no-no-wAIT' but his head colliding with the ground quickly interrupted that. As electricity seemed to fill every cavity in his brain - which, considering Miles, had to be a lot - he shuddered, his neck and limbs stretching out as far as they could go as they seized from the shock. Then, he went limp as he passed out. Loser.
