Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apparently, as one of her fellow companions in confusions inquiries went ignored, they wouldn't be getting any answers. Rather, the door skittered open for half a second. Enough time to make noise before slamming shut again. And for the display... they got a box of granola and... water. Water to share apparently. Fabulous.

She let out an audible 'harumph' before glancing at the other person who'd only finished waking up. "Very. At least my friends stuck around. this guy seems to think we're diseased or something." She picked up one of the granola bars and stared at it a bit before chucking it to give a little thud on the door. "HEY! My sister said not to eat food strangers gave me!" As if she was going to just eat food that someone that wouldn't answer them gave them. "Maybe if you weren't hiding behind there we'd listen!" Honestly, what were they going to do? It's not like she was prone to hitting people. Talking would answer their questions and solve this huge problem. Actually it seemed like they all just wanted out of the room they'd been napping in.

"We've been i here a while, isn't some fresh air due!" Actually, she quite liked the idea of going outside. You know, regardless of the whole 'one bottle of water' issue and whatnot. And a proper snack would have been nice. But more so pressing was the matter of going out and doing something. Anything. Stretching her legs and whatnot. She might have been in here a while, who knew?

Andy glowered at the box and water, looked around and noted the number of people: no, that wouldn't be enough for them and as one female was saying (loudly)...they were due for some fresh air. The girl was right.

"But we're not. At least, I don't feel diseased, just very stiff. Sheesh, they could at least tell us what's going on." Which made him want to do something, like Jordy would have!

So he stomped over to the door and kicked it hard enough to make it bounce a little. "HEY. That's not enough water! Let us out!" But then he thought better of it, chewing at the inside of his cheek slightly - there was a reason they weren't being let out...because they had woken up when they weren't supposed to?

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I was told I'd be fighting monsters, not sleeping forever in a damned tube." Part of this was direct at the door, which received another kick for good measure. "Clearly we weren't supposed to be up right now...so something has to have happened."

Withholding another kick, Andy picked up the thrown granola bar and looked it over thoughtfully. "Hey, you - on the other side of the door! What's going on? You can at least tell us that, can't you?"

"Yes, well," commented a smooth, masculine voice as the door opened once again, a feminine squeak sounding outside, "...the ability to explain does not indicate a desire to do so, you understand?" The man who walked in was tall and swarthy, dressed in slacks and a black sweater. There was a rough cast to his features and a scar over one eye, and a first glance he seemed a likely criminal sort. His voice, however, was well educated.

The man cast a superior glance over the lot of them, "Now do be quiet a moment, because you have no answers that I seek and won't ask the correct questions of me in turn. I am Dr. H and these are my labs. You were all potential Hunters and went through a testing process where the only way to succeed is to wake up, having initiated the process we call bonding. You've finally," he stressed this, disappointment heavily implied, "completed one part, but have failed the other. Which makes you freaks of a sort."

Turning he snapped his fingers, "Kelly, do stop with the pathetic histrionics and take down their names and details as we walk." Returning his attention to those gathered, he called out, "Come along goslings, follow Daddy."

With that he left, door open wide, and Kelly trying to both usher them along behind him in an orderly fashion while taking down their names and information.

He was here.

It was him. All else had become white noise in the background. Lydia stared at the ruggedly handsome wolf of a man with what would have been wide eyes, except that she had to squint to make him out properly.

"Oh. Ohhhhhh it's you. It's really you." Her voice was suddenly quite breathy.

"I think....I'm going to...."

Lydia swooned. And then she collapsed to the floor.

Cee stepped over the shabby looking woman with an audible clicking of the tongue.

"May not be classy, but least I ain't callin some creeper my daddy," he shot back to Cee. And then Lydia fainted in an overjoyed swoon. Women. Sometimes he was relieved to be the strictly dickly sort.

Apparently Wyatt was some kind of freak, meanwhile this Dr. H guy had put them in a labs against their will, talking about bondage and asking people to call him daddy. Or bonding? Apparently he had misheard. And what was the talk about hunters? Maybe this isn't a sex dungeon. Wyatt was starting to catch up to speed. Maybe.

"So if we failed this little test of yours does that mean we're free to go or do we have to take the test again?" he asked. The thought of the latter wasn't particularly appealing - he didn't know what the test entailed, but it seemed to involve those pods and maybe whatever happened in Wonderland.

Xi trailed in the back and just listened to this field trip tirade with the room full of monkeys. Her eyes kept on trailing back behind her, as if expecting some sort of candid camera moment or some sort of flaw that she could pick out and explain 'Aha! as expected'

Thankfully this effectively caused her to tune out the whole speech about bonding otherwise there would have been a lot of comments about questionable comparisons here. "I don't remember signing any consent form for this." This was muttered, and she kept on turning back towards where they left in hopes it had more answers. That guy forefronting this whole venture must have taken acting; she wasn't too sure if she was supposed to take this seriously.

Melody looked a bit surprised that anyone was actually joining them after they had been called zombies. In fact, she looked deep in search of the signs that it may have even been true. Missing all that time in a sleep? It seemed fairly true. Even more as the so-called doctor began to talk about their incompleteness.

She looked down at herself, one piece, she nodded with approval at her state. All the parts in their right places. But then he continued and though she seemed disinterested she was still listening. His condescension was duly noted and not favoured despite the reactions of a few... well.

She lifted her skirt and stepped over the body.

Bonding sounded interesting but for now she kept silent. Watching everyone with a concealed suspicion.
