[OPEN] Prick your fingers, it is done, the moon has now eclipsed the sun

WHO: Albert Wesker (eventually) and whomever decides to join him (presumably you!)
WHERE: Dreamscapes.
WHEN: Slightly backdated to 8/24.
WHAT: Dreamdiving.
WARNINGS: Medical experimentation, brainwashing, child abuse, violence, body horror, depictions of self-harm, a general blanket warning that Wesker has been through Some Shit and as such this is probably going to suck on several levels.

[It's cold.

It isn't the familiar drop in temperature that might come from the weather, but a sterile, artificial chill, the sort associated with medical work - hospitals and laboratories and other places that bring with them a sharp, chemical smell and an unpleasant sense that you don't really want to be there.

Of course, the metal table against your back probably isn't doing much to keep you warm, either.

Trying to sit up will be a bit of a problem, given the heavy restraints locked around your wrists and ankles, your hips and your upper body; they're a combination of metal and leather, old-fashioned and imposing, clearly designed to restrain something very, very powerful, and they're keeping you from going very far. You can look around enough to tell that where you are is...probably not somewhere you want to stay for long - it is, in fact, a laboratory of some sort, full of instruments and vials and jars of things that don't look very nice, the metal walls giving way somewhere just on the edges of your line of sight, turning into something else - a sort of open entrance to what looks like a cave of some sort. Either way, it'll probably take you somewhere that isn't here if you follow it. Tipping your head back will show another potential exit to the area - a metal door in the wall near all the instruments and materials.

Of course, you can't really utilize either route if you're bound down, now, can you? You should probably work on figuring out what you're going to do about that, first.]

[ By this point, James has already laid his head flat against the table, staring up at the ceiling. He doesn't want to see the vial any more, doesn't want to see the needle, doesn't want to see what's happening. The more he sees, the more he's going to tense up and worry about it. At least this way, he can spend the last few moments before the injection in ignorance. ]

...Alright.

Do you need me to tell you anything about how it feels?

[ He thought the injection would be in the arm. The neck is so much more intimate and sensitive than he expected, and he twitches and hisses at the injection. He'd hoped he could be a good little patient and keep still and quiet, but this is proving too painful and overwhelming.

It's a strange feeling, the pain mixed with the surge of energy. ]


It--stings! [ He exhales through his teeth. ] And it's--it's like I could punch a hole through the wall right now if I wanted to!

[ He flexes his fists, even though it doesn't really help. Now that he's getting used to this, though, he starts noticing another sensation. ]

My head--at the back of my head--it feels like something's moving. What is that?
frostythehitman: (controlling)

[ The doctor is right. James soon finds himself relaxing. The strange feeling in his head doesn't go away, but...why would he doubt the doctor? He hasn't been wrong so far. And, sliding into his thoughts as seamlessly as the strange feeling did, he remembers that--yes, that's right. This is how it's supposed to go. He remembers now, sitting down in a chair and having a helmet placed over him, and after some treatment, he felt just the same. They've changed the way they deliver the treatment, it seems, but the end result is identical: all his mental panic and fears and discomfort melting away. These doctors are here to help him, they always have been, and it was silly of him to ever think otherwise. He appreciates the return to routine.

He exhales, finally still and calm and completely at ease. ]


Okay, sure. I can go right now, if you want. I feel fine. Great, actually.

[ Y'know, aside from that head pain. But it's okay. If the doctor's not worried about it, he doesn't see why he should be. ]

[ Once the restraints are gone, James sits up and swings his legs off the table. Slowly, he eases himself onto his feet to stand up. It's...precarious. He feels woozy and he has to spend a few moments getting his bearings and making sure he can walk straight. But it passes quickly--no more than a minute. By then, he's feeling strong enough to go anywhere. ]

Right. Thanks.

[ He could always use some luck, after all. (He does not question why he would need it here.) He opens the metal door and steps on through. ]

[ James doesn't think about the door that's suddenly gone, or the building layout that makes no sense because of it. He doesn't think about what the cargo ship is for and what all the people down below are doing. It doesn't really matter anyway--they're doing their jobs, and he's doing his. It all makes perfect sense, and it almost feels...nice.

He turns to the woman as she speaks. ]


...Of course I'm here. I'm always ready to help out.

What's in the case?
frostythehitman: (consuming; confusing)

[ For someone who needs him for deployment, she sure sounds short with him. He doesn't even know who Albert is, so he feels like asking the question was pointless entirely. But whatever, fine. Deployment is way more important. James follows after her. ]

And...what are we doing? Where are we going?

[ He feels like he's asking a lot of questions, but at the same time, shouldn't he be informed of what he's doing, so he can get it done as best he can? ]
frostythehitman: (consuming; confusing)

np!

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-09-09 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods. ] Understood.

[ But he still wants to know more. ]

And...what exactly is our project going to do? What do I need to do to help out with it?
