Welcome to Gaia! ::

Matt got up to his feet, they felt sort of wobbly underneath his feet as if he wasn't use to standing on them in over a year or so.

Peering at the man he raised a brow, "E-13 you mean like Puddles? Your Puddles? It's me, I mean E-5, or Bandaids as you guys called me..... how did we get here?"

"A long time? How long have I been sleeping? Wait how the hell am I alive if all I've been doing is sleeping..." Medically speaking, though he assumed that the container he had been sleeping in had kept him alive... sort of like in a coma.

Coma?

Weird.

He patted Harrison's back as he leaned on him for support. "Turn to oatmeal huh? And here I was thinking you and everyone else was nothing more than some crazy medical induced dream that I had and that crazy chick was some patient revenge. Alright Harrison it is, as long as the name Bandaids doesn't get out either. Man... I'm starving do you guys have burgers around here? Or do we... eat in pods..."

First burger, then room sounded like a plan to Matt.

"Onwards to the cafeteria it is!" He replied pointing his hand in the air as if he was toasting a cheer.

Melvin was usually prompt with waking up, but this was no doubt the longest he had ever slept in, and like anyone who had slept well past what was rational, he felt like hell. Worse than hell. He woke up as if he had just drank 6 kegs followed by gasoline, and peeled his eyes to an abrasive light that made his curse the very exitance sun, electricity, and whatever god-damn else was trying to kill his eyes. Right now he needed a massive aspirin, a shower, and maybe a very cold floor to roll around on.

What he got instead was a whole hell of a lot of beeping, and he reached out as vague thoughts bubbled up through the muck that was his thick memory. There were masks, and he breathed stale air, still thinking he was confined. The air was warm, sticky, and gross. While his limbs felt like lead, he managed to reach out, and felt some reinforced glass that he pitifully pressed before leaning against.

Which wasn't a good idea.

The door swung open and had him falling out before hitting the ground. ".....oh ssshhhh..." He held the back of his head. Seemed his legs were jello too.

Rin's introduction might have been rather kind in comparison to some of the previous awakenings this pod chamber had ever witnessed, but it wasn't working for the new arrival, who rolled to one side while still holding the back of his head. You'd think with so many new podlings being rather weak in the knees from prolonged rest that they would put rubber mats or some form of cushioning on the floor. Apparently, it wasn't in the budget.

Reaching out, he felt around for his goggles as he heard a very generic and poor introduction that had no personalization what-so-ever. The most logical conclusion?

"Are you a robot?" He asked, turning as he put on his goggles and noticed the pod he just came out of before looking down the hallway to even more pods. "Oh s**t, did we get invaded?!"

Most logical conclusion.

While he knew these were very simple questions, he was drawing a blank at first, and he slowly sat up as he moved to work on getting on his feet. Name. Name. Name. "Iota?" There was another name pushing up from his mind. "No. Melvin. Its Melvinnn....ummm..." He tried to think of the last part. "Wood." Gender? Well that was pretty obvious, and he looked down just to double check.

No jacket. No mask. Wasn't he just in full gear? "I'm a guy." He said, looking up at her. "Can't you see that?" Not a robot, huh? He was in a room full of pods. That never said good things. "Who are you?" He paused a moment. "What are you?" She seemed really bad at just simple introductions to have to read it off a form.

He reached out to grab the side of the pod he'd just been in, and slowly pulled himself up, only feeling himself dip down as his legs protested. "Did you...Did you drug me?" This was starting to seem more like aliens then robots.

It was coming back, but not as quickly as he would have liked despite trying to pure willpower to rush the process along. "But I don't....Do you think I look like a woman?!" He said to her, not in the best of moods right after waking up for - "How long have I been sleeping?!!"

There was that headache again.

Holding his head, he nearly feel from just removing one hand from the pod he was holding just to stand, before he pulled himself up again and gained his balance. Though still resembling a drunk, newborn foal, he pointed back at her. "I remember some guy talking to me, and following him into a classroom. Then I was in a suit. Then there was this big dirty hand." He rubbed his eyes under his glasses a moment. "..said I was gonna hunt shadows."

There was a moment where he just thought hard, before adjusting his goggles and looked back at her. "Where am I?" Rin's introduction hadn't seemed to have been heard the first time around.
