"CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP!"
There are a few rules to keep in mind when exploring a dark and creepy local after waking up with no recollection of how you got there.
1: Stay very, very quiet. Walk slowly and carefully, and do not say a word
2: Do not, under any circumstances, turn on a light. If it gets too dark to see, stay put, let your eyes adjust, then walk even slower.
3: For the love of all that is sane and right in the world, DO NOT follow the sound of strange chanting - ESPECIALLY if it sends an unnatural shiver down your spine and hurts just to hear.
If only I had actually listened to myself, I might not be running back the way I came with some abomination against reality hot on my heals. Oh well. Better keep running.
I took quick peek behind me, before whipping my head back the other way. Nope, still too horrifying to comprehend, just like it was five minutes ago.
Also, can I just say that running for your life does wonders for one's stamina?

"Never met a dark eldar then. Just mind yourself, especially around the inquisition around."
-
"Fair enough." With that, I tucked back into my dinner. Seemed I was going to have to keep my thoughts to myself for a while. Hopefully I wouldn't have too much trouble with that. Hopefully.
-
It proved correct, no one bothered him.
-
Eventually, I sat back, my plate and bowl clean. "Thanks for the food. Mind if I crash here for the night?"
-
"So long as you don't bring those xenos or cultists and if Blackburn comes in here he doesn't start anything."
-
"Can do," I said. I might have said something witty, but I was tired, and had obviously already pissed this guy off enough. Best to not push him further.
-
He leads him to his room and leaves him the key, and heads back down to his bar.
-
I opened the door to observe my lodgings for the night.
-
It was a plain room, a bed, some dressers, a chest, a chair, and a desk.
-
I sighed as I locked the door behind me, finally letting the reality of my future hit me. I wasn't going home anytime soon. Upside, there was some really cool shit here, if I lived long enough to get my hands on it. Downside, there was a LOT of shit that was bound and determined to make that endeavor difficult. I shook my head to disperse my thoughts. I could consider it tomorrow. Right now, I needed sleep. I considered taking off my flak armor, but decided against it, only taking off my helmet. I'd be more prepared if something happened, and feel far more safe, if I kept the majority of it on. With that, I laid back on the bed, putting my helmet to my left and my lasrifle to my right, and shut my eyes.

[spoiler]Yeah, I'll put up another opener tomorrow. Any ideas how to reconcile this version with a version without gear and with a cut in his arm?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]gear and a cut on his arm? Who was the other instance with?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]MegaMortar.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]ah, well, I'm not sure I know him. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Oh, well, might just do some weird timeline convergence thing. Because the Warp did it.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]its your Choice man. Just let me know [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Will do.[/spoiler]

Luckily for the stranger, his cries didn't go unchecked. As he screamed his lungs out, he couldn't hear the rapid clanking of metallic boots on the ground, coming towards him from the other side. [spoiler]welcome[/spoiler]

Edited by Kell in a Cell: 6/19/2016 9:38:39 PMI felt it before I heard it. A heavy thumping on the floor, as if great metal boots were pounding upon the floor. "SOMEBODY KILL THIS THING!" Yeah, definitely not my most dignified moment, but I'd like to see you do better. [spoiler]Thanks. You might wanna check the character page, see what this guy is like, if you haven't already.[/spoiler]

As he ran, he ran past a group of soldiers clad in blue armour. As he went past them, all he heard was the cascade of laser shots, and bright red flashes. The thing that pursued him was dead.
-
I hid behind a corner just down the hall, trying to catch my breath as I heard the horrific death cry of... whatever the hell it was. Taking one final breath, looked back around the corner at my "saviors". Call me paranoid, but if there's one thing I know, it's to trust absolutely nothing at face value.
-
They stood up from their crouched positions, one of them turning towards him. "You alright?"
-
"Yeah," I said, warily coming back around the corner. "Thanks. The hell was the thing?"
-
"I dunno. Most likely some sort of Tyranid bug. You were lucky we were here in time, kid."
