Dazed and Confused

[clearandpresentdanger]

Yaag opened his pale lavender eyes to gaze through blurred vision. He remembered his encounter in Eden and wondered if he managed to survive. That was impossible. He took a grenade at point blank range. There was no surviving that. Not with the wounds he had sustained on top of that. But he was breathing without pain.

His memories were intact. He didn't think he was cloned. Even the fal'Cie weren't capable of bringing back the dead so effortlessly and without some sort of suffering to carry with him. He groaned and sat up just as the capsule opened. His head pounded. Maybe it was possible.

He lifted his gloved hand to press the heel of his hand against his forehead with a groan. "Where am I?"

He looked around him and then down to notice the heavy necklace and the pamphlet. Thankfully, it was written in a language he could understand and read through it. He sat it aside and looked to his left to see another closed capsule next to him.

Flonne just happened to be walking around when she'd noticed a new arrival. She'd sort of made the effort to keep an eye out to help those who just arrived here. Seeing the new arrival she started to approach him. Once she realized he'd been hurt, she hurried over, bringing out her staff.

"Are you okay, sir? I can heal you if you need it," she insisted, worried for him.

He patted his body to make sure that he was all in one piece. It was strange. He was breathing again, no longer bleeding or on the verge of death. He was alive and well. The voice shook him out of his musings and looked up in surprise.

"I...yes, I do believe I am well, thank you. Tell me, is this the afterlife?" He could have sworn that grenade did him in completely.

He wasn't about to deny help when he needed it and in this case, he was confused as hell even though the information packet seemed to fill in the blanks somewhat.

"I could have sworn..." His voice trailed off with a slow look around the cavern inside the bay.

"The afterlife...? No this place is called Genessia," she told him. Although considering that Flonne was from the Netherwould....

"Are you sure? You seem troubled...," she said.

It took a few moments to think but he finally managed to get himself back into reality, somewhat at least. "Yes."

He pulled himself out of the way to look around the area where his pod rested. There was no sense going back in it, that's for damn sure. "Perhaps I am in need of assistance after all. Is there a library I can access?"

If he could at least learn about the social infrastructure of this place, he might be able to assimilate himself a little better.
