Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in oblong glowing things that were clustered along the floors and walls of the huge, ancient-looking caverns.

For now, the ones that were cracking were the closest to the floor, but perhaps later, the figures sliding out of the pods would be sliding out onto the slimy walkways and platforms above.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

There was light, and unconscious minds breaking through the top of the briny, harsh waters of consciousness, as their bodies did similarly and broke free from the pods, sliding to the floor, shivering in pools of slime.

Once the temporary blindness that some of them had passed, and once they were free of their sleepy stupors: somebody had some splainin' to do.

But there would be no explanations, as the only thing that could explain was only watching, silently, almost as a mother would look at their child right after it was born.

Pop. KASCHUNKhissss.

A guy could dream, right? It wasn't as though she were the sort to come running to him for protection. Tony was just a touchy-feely sort. Hey, whatever it took..

Then the lurch upright, about enough to pin your stomach to your knees, and his attention went upwards, too. Nothing. He'd at least like to know if it were coming, if he were about to be squashed against some odd alien ceiling.

No, not quite, and the confused cityscape rose into view. No, the buildings made sense on their own, it was the way things were jambled together, styles and architecture from.. everywhere.. "Everywhere. Nowhere. Holy shit." Still, in comparison to the room below, it was familiar.

"You don't think it's an alien lego set, do you?" Were they a collection? Playthings? Pets? Why were they here?
