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.

Kitty carefully stepped around the pustules, her brown eyes wary as she stared around her. Was...was this thing...wherever she was...was it alive?

She carefully walked around the pustules, looking into the weird little pod-things. Confusion crossed the seventeen-year-old's features. "Why am I here? Wherever here is."

"Chosen. Right. Okay. Fine. Chosen."

The last time she'd been "chosen", she'd ended up at Xavier's.

Was this place going to be more normal than that?

Or freakier?

"Which way to the clothes, Mystery Voice?"

Kitty did as she was told to. She ran her fingers through her slick, slimy hair.

"Standing in the center of the room is gonna give me a bath first, right? Because, in all honesty, this is grosser than, well, a lot of things at the Mansion."

"Right. Good." She spread her arms out, unsure of what else to do. "Let's get started then."

"Oh! Hey! Okay! Wait!" Kitty's voice was shrill. She looked down at her outfit. And looked back up to...not be able to see any of the tentacles.

"First, this is gross. And it feels alive. Secondly? Ew. If this thing makes me, like, pregnant with tentacle babies or something, I swear, I'm going to find the...find whatever makes this thing work, and I'm going to phase right through it. Or something."

"..." Kitty hugged herself.

"You creep me out, whoever you are."

"Call me Kitty. Everybody else does." She pulled on the...could she even call it fabric? - of her jumpsuit. "Uhh. So...what now?"

Really, this all felt so surreal.

Her laptop.

And her stuffed plush dragon, Lockheed.

Among other things, she hoped.

Kitty followed the glowing floor.

As soon as she got her stuff, she was going to do some serious exploration.
