The Real World, Quiet HiveMind Facility
”Are you okay? Do you need anything? Is that… blood?”
Maw hesitated as a figure moved towards them, they stayed still for a moment before they slowly pulled himself up onto his feet slowly. He looked over towards Cosy as she spoke to him.
He tried to focus on her words, but his head was
thumping. Was it from being stuck away for so long, or was it from the endless hunger that slowly started to feel like it consumed him.
Maw looked to the tubes as Cosy mentioned what his name was,
"The body is Toren." He said slowly, hesitating to continue to speak,
"But I am Maw." He hoped there would be no questions, luckily she seemed to turn towards others who were coming into consciousness.
Another male pulled himself from a tube, Maw instinctively tensed before he relaxed a tiny bit as he noticed it was one he had met in the simulation. Maw could tell the other man was watching him carefully, he knew he was a threat- most of them probably knew he was a danger. As long as he kept himself in line until Toren came back, hopefully no one would attempt to harm him.
Axen looked over to Cosy as she spoke, he fluffed his robotic feathers to her for a moment.
"Insufferable as ever." He spoke before he moved to settle on her shoulder.
"I feel groggy like a bad hangover honestly." Jay spoke to Cosy, Nick and Anna.
"I feel like I need a heap of painkillers." She laughed weakly.
Jay looked around slowly, taking in the view she was seeing, everyone in tubes. Things seemed to be going through her head slowly before she froze.
"Shit. Dex. Where's Dex?!" Jay looked around quickly,
"Axen can you contact him?" Jay was focused on trying to find her workmate instead of the map that Cosy offered the group.
Maw on the other hand slowly stepped towards Cosy as she spoke up about a map.
"Kitchen... Food?" He asked out loud, he felt his body shiver at the mention of food. The map looked just like a large amount of squiggles to him; the hunger was messing with his head. He was managing to stay sane and stable for now, but he wasn't sure how long that would last, and he didn't want to potentially harm his new companions...
Toren was
never a fan of eating human flesh after all.
