You are laying on your back, on what feels like cold concrete.

Your eyes are closed.

[seppawku]

look around

[AceOfNothing]

Open your eyes and check your surroundingss

[SHIVERS]

Opening your eyes, you can see that you are laying in the corner on the floor of a square, concrete room.

The rest of the room's floor is covered with thin, green carpet, but a rectangular chunk has been removed exactly where you are currently laying.

The room itself is strangely lit in a clear, white light, though there is no visible light source present. The light is oddly comforting.

There is a simple square plastic table in the corner to your left with a simple black rolling desk chair in front of it.

On the wall between you and the table is a large, plain mirror, which seems to have been grafted onto the wall itself. It is large enough to display your entire body at one time.

In the corner opposite you is a small glass box - about two-feet wide - with no openings. It contains what appears to be a void of black with blue 'smoke' and small white dots; the smoke and dots are moving about slowly and aimlessly. On its side, written in white chalk, reads: "0/6"

There is a very large gray chest made of reinforced plastic against the wall in the corner to your right; large enough that you could most likely fit inside were you to climb in.

On the ceiling above, there are many square outlines drawn in white chalk, one directly in the center, with many others spanning out from it.



You now have access to commands.

These include Interface Commands, such as:
[STATUS] - Used to check your current health and any potential conditions.
[SELF] - Used to check your ratings, your abilities, and other information about yourself.
[TETHER] - Used to bind weapons, tools and items to yourself, placing them in your "inventory" at the Oubliette. Tethering is limited to your item space.
[RECALL] - Used to pull forth items from your inventory into your hand in order to use them.
[INVENTORY] - Used to check which tethered items are currently in your "inventory".
[LEXICON] - Used to define unknown terms. Current lexicon is incomplete, but may be automatically updated as new information is gathered.

And potentially more, as well as:
-Any ABILITIES you may possess.
-Anything situational that is applicable, such as "Flip light switch" or "Move table". These are considered General Commands, and so are not listed.



You may now choose a name.
You may now examine yourself.

[seppawku]

examine self in mirror, i'd rather not choose a name til we know how we look? what's our status?

[ಠ_ಠ]

once we've examined self, name self Tid

[SHIVERS]

You lift yourself off the floor, immediately feeling a wave of dizziness overtake you. You brace yourself on the wall so as not to topple over.


After a few moments, you feel stable enough to walk again, and step over in front of the mirror.

Staring back at you is a visage similar to that a snake, but standing on two legs. 
Your eyes are flat, pure white, and sunken, appearing somewhat vacant.
Your scales are teal in hue, save for those along your chest and stomach, which are a dull white.
At the ends of your arms are four-fingered "paws" with white claws at the tips, your feet looking similar.

You notice there are white markings - presumably tattoos - on both of your hands.
On the back of your left hand, there appears to be a tattoo of a single fishhook.
On the back of your right hand, there is a tattoo of a flower with thorns radiating out from it to the rest of your paw, weaving over your claws as well.

Turning to the side slightly, you can see your tail behind you; short and thick, similar to that of a gecko.

You are also naked.
Realizing this, you suddenly feel the need to clothe yourself.



You hear an odd shuffling behind you, and turn to see that a large, simple wooden wardrobe has appeared on the wall at your back.

Information on MARKS has been updated. You may view this information by using the SELF command.

You step over to the wardrobe and pull on one of its handles.
It doesn't budge.
When you blink, a paper note appears taped on the wardrobe itself.

It reads:
"Oubliette Complimentary Wardrobe:
Imagine a simple outfit you'd like to wear before opening, and it will appear inside.
Use is limited."



NOTIFICATION: The LEXICON command can be used to define terms you don't know; as long as it is in the LEXICON, which is currently incomplete.

>LEXICON

Ratings - Ratings are a rough determination of a select set of skills inherent in surviving in the world. They are as follows: Composure, Sense, Fluency, Mettle, Presence. The following ratings are determined for each: Inept, Unversed, Average, Versed, Adept. Certain ratings can also be affected in ways that can't be entirely described shown with a single, simple value, in which case an asterisk is marked beside the rating to signify this.
Creation - Creation is an ability inherent to most, though what can be created varies wildly between species, subspecies, and individuals.
HAUNT: Creation - Haunts' inherent creation ability centers around making floating orbs of dim light, which can be sent slowly in different directions, even through walls. Can be used in a variety of situations, such as to allow visibility (albeit limited) in the dark or as a distraction.
HAUNT: Phase - An ability specific to haunts. Become intangible for very brief periods of time, allowing the haunt to move through objects, escape danger, or any number of other uses. Performing this ability is physically exhausting, and can potentially cause a loss in consciousness if overused or used when not in peak condition.
Mark - A physical mark permanently imprinted on the body which causes certain effects. Can give positive and negative effects, but is generally entirely negative.
Sentinel - Appears as a fishhook on the left hand. Effects unknown.
Noxa - Appears as a thorned flower on the right hand. Effects unknown.
Remnant - A species category, consisting of Shades, Haunts, and Osteoics. Often thought to have been left behind after the death of another body under specific circumstances. Whether this is true or simply a fable is unknown. These species are reminiscent of traditional myths of undead, though they are doubtlessly alive.


You think of a "brown trenchcoat", and a "sci-fi bodysuit".
You may open the wardrobe at any time.

Lexicon "Public reactions and relations to Remnants"
Also, let's add some tinted safety glasses to our outfit, always handy to have.

[SHIVERS]

>LEXICON

Haunt - A subspecies of remnant. A spectral entity similar to a ghost, but is usually tangible. Has a full body with limbs and a tail, rather than being wisp-like or without legs. Their eyes are pure white and sunken, with no discernible differentiation between sclera, iris, or pupil. Commonly look serpentine.
Shade - A subspecies of remnant. A shadowy mass devoid of light save for its facial features and other details. May grow or shrink somewhat depending on the amount of light in its environment. Often very slightly resemble mammalian species in bodyshape.
Osteoic - A subspecies of remnant. Skeletal beings with flame-like eyes. Most commonly are dinosaur-like, but can resemble just about any species. Body structure can topple if heavily impacted, but will reform automatically after enough time has passed. Oddly, they often have species-specific feature stand-ins that aren't usually made of bone, such as ears.
"Public reactions and relations to Remnants" not recognized as a definable term or phrase.



You think of a "flower crown" and "tinted safety glasses" as well.
The combination of the four dissonant ideas of clothing makes it difficult, but you manage to keep your focus long enough to open the wardrobe.

Inside, sure enough, there is a long brown trenchcoat on a hanger next to a full bodysuit, with a crown consisting of white flowers and some safety glasses on a shelf at the top.
You put each of them on, starting with the bodysuit.

Surprisingly, it is made entirely of a thin, stretchy fabric, even though it looks to be made of some sort of futuristic material akin to spun polyethylene. It is mostly black, but with white, blocky details around the torso and shoulders, with teal lines running down the limbs. It covers everything but your head, neck, hands and feet.

The trenchcoat is almost a bit big on you, but it seems to fit, although it is heavy.
You slip on the pink-tinted safety glasses, turning the room and everything in it pink through your vision.
You place the crown atop your head gently, completing the look for now, then step back in front of the mirror to view yourself.


You feel very silly.

Adding to that feeling, you realize you currently have nothing covering your waist other than the thin bodysuit, which doesn't quite feel like enough.
You also do not have any sort of shoes.
