...
Atanasio would awake in a strange room- four gray stone walls surrounded him, 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??
Atanasio sat along the wall 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. Both of his hands were tightly chained to the stone wall behind him.
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 terribly, along with his left shoulder. His entire gray outfit was stained with blood.
As Atanasio stirred, he looked over with a blank expression. He held his shaking right hand out toward Atanasio's head as he walked toward him.
"Hoyseksagu." He said. His voice sounded like the final voice that was chanting in his head before he vanished.

Fuck.
Atanasio didn't know what was going on. He did know one thing. Carlos was going to kill him when he comes home. He tried to move his hands, only to see them chained. Oh, Carlos is going to kill him when he gets home.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked the man before he vanished. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Rakin only continued to approach him, and placed his trembling bandaged arm on top of Atanasio's head. A brief electric shock went through his body, lingering around his brain, as Rakin stepped away.
"There. Can you understand me now?" Rakin asked. The electrifying feeling in his brain had faded away. @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪

Atanasio looked angry. What the hell is going on?" He tried to move his hands again to see if he could get out. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

(Sorry!)
The chains seemed pretty well fit to his wrists, but honestly not all that sturdy. He could probably break out if he really tried.
"You have been invited to compete in a tournament. In The Maze." Rakin said. "You will most likely die here." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/2/2023 1:17 PM
Atanasio let the words register and just started to laugh at him. He's had many people threaten to kill him but they never succeeded. But this?
"That is the funniest shit I've heard. I mean, really a maze? Kill me?" Atanasio's arrogance was really showing. He took a close look at the chains and tried to break out to of them.
(Can I roll to break out? Also no worries!! Ive been pretty busy too @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 )

As he tugged harshly on them, they did in fact shatter. What kind of cheap-ass chain store did Rakin get these from.
"Well, thank you, people used to say I'm quite the comedian." Rakin deadpanned, also unphased by the chains breaking. "But regardless of how humorous you find it, everything I said is true." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/3/2023 10:31 AM
Atanasio adjusted his jacket and looked at Rakin. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Mr. Green. Listen, I don't really have time for this. I gotta babysit a little later, so I'd appreciate you take me home before I make you." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽
Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 12/3/2023 10:34 AM
"I cannot take you home. My powers only bring people to me, not the other way around." Rakin said. "Also, Mr. Green is not my name. That was my father. If you want to call me by middle names, you may call me Mr. Dumpy." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/3/2023 12:03 PM
Atanasio just stared at him for a bit. First of all, Mr. Dumpy??? That's his middle name? If it wasn't for the first thing he said, he would be bullying this man's name. He took a moment to actually look around at his surroundings. He stared at the sky and realized that he wasn't in the city anymore.
"Where are we?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽
Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 12/3/2023 12:05 PM
"We are in space. And you will shortly be placed in The Maze." Rakin said. He gestured up to the ceiling. "The stars are beautiful, aren't they? You can see them much more clearly here than you can from anywhere on Earth. There's no atmosphere or light pollution to obscure them.." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/3/2023 5:55 PM
Atanasio couldn't help but agree with Mr. Dumpy. He couldn't remember seeing more than a handful of stars. He came to terms that he was in deep trouble and needed to find a way home now. He looked back at Rakin and saw an opportunity. Tio Carlos always told him that if he saw a window to attack he should.
(Can I roll to attack Rakin?) @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 12/3/2023 11:10 PM
Well, he may have seen it, but Rakin's odd and overly composed persona during all this may have been a bit off putting. Maybe it would be best to not attack him right now.
"Well? Get on with it. Try to beat me to a pulp or what have you." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/4/2023 4:21 PM
Atanasio looked annoyed. He couldnt believe he missed. Maybe he was getting rusty... Whatever, he'll find another opportunity later.
"Puta madre... this is so stupid." He adjusted his jacket again. "So, Dumpy, what now?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽
Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 12/5/2023 7:50 AM
"If you have no further questions, I can place you in your side of the Maze now." @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪 12/5/2023 8:48 AM
Atanasio thought about it and shrugged. He didn't really have a lot to say. He could figure things out later. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I'll have to ask someone else what that hand sign means later." Rakin hummed and placed his hand on his head. A bolt of electricity went through him, knocking him unconscious. @Sofia | Noir 🔎+ Atanasio 🔪
