[Game scenario - Message #1]

Gaz had a rather normal day, no missions today, just stale coffee, skme scones Ghost had attempted to make (he got... _close enough_), and of course dinner. Dinner was actually pretty good today, for once. That never bode well.

Still, when the day had come to close, he laid down, and found sleep easily. After he fell asleep, the issues began.

Gaz woke up... somewhere. It wasn't like any place he ever knew, a dilapidated city, almost as if it was destroyed by... explosions maybe? Maybe fire, or maybe age? He can't tell, snd the thick soggy clouds hanging overtop don't help him see. He decides this is a dream fairly quickly, a lucid one however.

It's odd, though. He feels like he's being watched, and it feels too real. Plips of liquid on his exposed flesh, and it feels humid, humid enough the air is thick in his lungs.

He tries to look at signs, but the moment his eyes focus on the lettering, they turn to pixles that seem to fall off existence itself. Its the same with any signage. Well, it is a dream, he's not too shocked yet.

Everything is quiet, not one person or animal around. It is a dream, he decides there's no harm in exploring, right?

"Hello?" He calls out, voice reflecting back at him a dozen times over, getting quieter each time.

No response comes, of course, but he swears to God he hears an ethereal laugh from somewhere beyond his comprehension, like someone is just above him, though he can't see them.

With a huff he takes a step, only to slam right into a... screen. Huh?

Partner? This is way... too surreal. He'll admit he's a bit nervous, but it's just a dream right? Well, he'll look for this partner anyway, just because he's... curious. Yeah. So he picks a direction and walks.
