It never ends, does it...

||Pod Release Protocols Initating|| Stacy's familiar voice sounded out to all the podmates.

In the Pod Caverns, there were the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slid out onto the floors, covered in slime.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

Rose slams herself back against the breached pod as soon as she catches sight of the needle, plastering herself against the damp wall, hating how her footing slips in the wetness. Her heart pounds in her ears, adrenaline starting to ratchet up along with her panic.

"HELL NO I DON'T WANT A SEDATIVE!" Drugged is the last thing she wants to stack onto the naked-in-a-strange-place-and-covered-in-slime plate.

"What the hell are pod caverns?" She looks around hoping to find the source of whatever is talking in her head. "How did I get here?"

"Chosen for what?" Rose climbs fully to her feet, trying to wring some slime out of her hair. God this place looks like something out of a sci-fi show...

"Tell me pod caverns have showers in them? And clothes?"

She wants to be washed, dressed and killing who or what-ever brought her here as fast as possible, but she gets the feeling she's not going to get any of that done without listening to the voice to start with. From what little she can see the place is vast and not exactly well-lit. She could wander for days in a place this big.

For now, any advice is good advice.

Rose starts making her way along the lighted path, trying and failing to shake the skin-crawling feeling that she's being watched. Despite seriously wanting to scream she tries to keep calm. The less disoriented she gets and the more her hyper-awareness kicks online the clearer her precognition becomes.

But now both panes are the same horrifying specter. She's gratified only that nothing seems to be jumping out of the shadows to eat her now or in the next ten seconds.

When she finally reaches the end of the lighted walkway she just stares at the little room with it's ceiling apparently lined with...

"What the-?"

The vision of the tentacles grabbing her hits and she reels backward a few steps. "Oh I am NOT going in there to get manhandled by vines! What the hell is this?"

"....I will be clothed." A pause. "By TENTACLES?"

Rose stares flatly at the room for a moment, then sighs.



She steps slowly forward into the circle and stands still, bracing for the impact she knows is coming. Being prepared for it sincerely does not make it any less creepy-feeling however.

When the vines drop her again she examines the plant suit with a mixture of horror and faint awe. The awe is off the table as soon as she feels it pulse for the first time.

"Oh God is this thing ALIVE?!"

Rose can't help a twitch.

"You are the least helpful guide EVER... There have to be other people in this place right? Where do I find them?"

"Wha - you have my STUFF here?"

Rose perks up at that. GOD does she want her gear back right now!

"Weapons Locker first, definetely!"
