It felt like Namira had been shaken up and tossed unceremoniously to the ground when her pod burst open. She coughed up the sticky, phlegmy fluid from her lungs and sucked in a chestful of air. In her head, a woman’s pleasant voice assured her of her Purpose and how she’d been Chosen

[heretic_witch]

The destroyers of worlds... a great purpose. Nunnally almost couldn't believe what she was "hearing", but she knew better by now. There was a great, wide multiverse out there; it almost made sense that she'd been "chosen".

This was still so disorienting, though, waking up covered in... what was this stuff? She stumbled to her feet, still unsteady on them, and turned toward the sound of a woman's voice and a dog's bark. "Ah-- hello?"

[silverytongue]

Hakkar growled menacingly, and Namira clucked her tongue at the dog, "There will be none of that - there's no darkspawn here." She turned her attention to the voice. "Find her, and bring her here, mm?" Hakkar barked once and took off to find the girl.

There was nothing small about a mabari warhound, and Hakkar was certainly a fine specimen of his breed. As he came upon Nunnally, he barked again, friendly but also a bit wary.

[heretic_witch]

Nunnally blinked in surprise when the dog approached her, and extended one slime-covered hand in greeting.

"Hello," she said gently, smiling to him, though his size was... intimidating. "Would you happen to know where I should go to find Stacy?" Not that dogs could talk... but maybe he could understand. She knew from experience that cats were smarter than people let on, so who knew about dogs?

Chris' first thought when he hit the floor was Wesker.

It took another few seconds of recollection for him to regain his wits. That wasn't possible. Wesker was dead. Though that didn't mean there was nobody else who would stoop to the level of shoving a human being into a jar for experiments.

Though if the voice overhead meant anything, maybe that wasn't the case at all.

He muttered a little bit under his breath, pushing himself up and looking around at the others like him, falling naked out of nasty-looking egg-shaped pods in the wall.

"Great." He wiped the slimy hair out of his eyes. "Just when I was starting to think about taking a vacation."

[silverytongue]

There was a person up ahead!

"Thank the Maker," Namira mumbled as she hurried along. Hakkar, her dog, went on ahead, interested in making sure Chris was not a threat to his Mistress.

"...Hakkar! Hakkar, wait!"

[boulderkiller]

Dumped out on the floor in a bunch of slime, totally naked, and now there was a dog sniffing around. Chris had certainly had better days.

"Hey, buddy," he murmured, holding out a hand to let the dog sniff him. The last thing he needed was a hostile dog sniffing around him. "You got an owner around here, or...?"

Oh yeah, he did. And here she came. Also naked.

Chris might have shifted to cross his legs a bit. "Is this your dog, ma'am?"

[silverytongue]

Hakkar wuffed at Chris softly before turning around and trotting back to Namira. The nice thing about having such a big dog was the fact that he stood to Namira's chest, nearly.

"He is, though he usually isn't so poorly behaved," Namira apologized, and Hakkar lowered his head and whimpered. "You don't happen to know where we're supposed to be going to find these "others", do you?" The fact that she was naked had either not registered yet, or she was ignoring it.

A silver-haired girl is slowly pushing herself up to her knees, trying to shake off the remaining drowsiness from her extended sleep. For a split second, she opens both eyes, and one might glimpse an empty socket where her right eye should be, but the lid quickly closes, and she rubs her remaining eye to get any of the strange goop out of it. If she was bothered at all by her nakedness, she sure wasn't showing it.

"Strange..." This... certainly wasn't anywhere on Mid-Childa.

The first thought that went through Dustin mind when he came to was Lothor. The other was that of his students and his friends. If this wasn't a trap, was Lothor behind this or was Mesogog back? Those were the only people who came to mind to him. It took him a few minutes to realize he didn't have his clothes on.

"Uh, dude? Can I have my clothes back, please?"

[eradicating_war]

This was new. Not the voices in his head, he had gotten used to that, thanks to the 00's Trans-Am system, but the waking up naked in slime part was new.

But this new voice, claiming that he was chosen for a great purpose. Some new destiny for him. Alright then, let's see where this destiny leads him.

Least 'm not alone...

Duo glances to a pod just a few feet away from his and gives an awkward wave.

Awkward only because-- well. They're both naked and covered in slime. Not exactly the optimal way to meet people, but Duo could wing it.

"Uh. Mornin'?"

[eradicating_war]

Setsuna regarded the other person with a critical eye. They were also naked, also covered in slime, so they were not a threat to him.

He didn't return the greeting, though he didn't seem awkward about the situation at all. Either he found nothing wrong with being naked and slimy, or he was practically a robot. He turned his head towards the direction a string of lights was leading them.

"I'm going this way." And that is where he headed. Tag along or not, Other Naked Guy, the choice is yours.

[hellraiser02]

Duo's expression twisted into a somewhat-pouting frown.

Oh. Oh. He's one of those. Duo knows how to deal with those.

A sly grin cracks Duo's lips as he leaps out of his pod-slime with a stumble to tag after the other kid.

"Well, 'least you're not a naked chick."

After about two beats and realizing how that sounded, he quickly added "I mean! You know, at least I'm not trying not to stare at your chest or, you know, uh--"

Give up while you're behind, Maxwell.

"..Forget it.."
