Post #2357168 in Icy Veins-Full, a roleplay on RPG

Cecil stayed at the back of the group still. He didn't mind just watching people, in fact, he enjoyed it. In a way, it made him feel a little more normal, watching them for their strengths, their flaws, everything he wished he knew about himself. At the least, he could enjoy their normalcy rather than beat himself up for things he couldn't control. The latter tended to happen a lot it would seem.

The group he found himself was a bit of an odd one, but then again, he was a part of it so it seemed odd by default. The oldest looking girl, one of the more outspoken people, seemed to be a flirt. The fact that she was wearing a uniform that seemed maybe a bit too small for her probably helped that along a bit. Then another, wearing a hat. At first, Cecil thought it was another girl, but he caught bits and pieces of their conversation that pointed to the fact that she was in fact a he. Next came the girl with black hair. She seemed a bit like him, though more... down perhaps? In any case, she didn't seem happy to keep company with anyone here. Cecil couldn't fault her as far as he was concerned. He'd agreed a long time ago that he wasn't the best person to hang around with either. Afterwards came another blonde boy, this one looking like he'd just come out of a work out and only had a scarf to stick on besides that. "He's probably strong. But he doesn't look too mean. That's good. Good." Lastly, besides Cecil himself, was a girl that looked like a child. He would've sworn that'd it'd be teenagers only today but maybe she was older than she looked.

As his assessments came to a close, a gentleman in a lab coat emerged from the building. After a bit of talking that Cecil still couldn't hear entirely over his music there was the universal 'follow me' hand wave and the group went inside, Cecil taking up the rear. His hands slowly raised and plucked his ear buds out as he was separated from the others in a corridor. Following a lab coat into a room, he noticed what seemed to be a surgery table and tools nearby. "Uhm, excuse me, doctor?" He began asking the nearest scientist. "What is this all about now?" The doctor turned, a gas mask in hand and a pleasant smile. "Why nothing more than a physical and some blood samples dear Cecil. It's just so much easier with you out like a light. We know you've never really liked needles. Just sit back and relax." His question satisfied for the moment, Cecil did as he was told and was out like a light in no time.

A few hours passed before Cecil's eyes opened, greeted by nothing more than an empty room, a glass of water with two pain killers next to it on the table near him. Then he was met with the pain. He normally had headaches when he woke up, but not this bad. His hand reached around to the back of his head where a finger just ever so slightly rubbed across something cold. Deciding he was just a bit delusional from the gas still, he sat up and took the pain killers, hoping he hadn't missed too much of the day. "How was your nap Mr. Rhodes? I hope your head isn't hurting too much. Please don't do too much bouncing around for a while if you can help it." The same scientist approached him from outside the room, carrying his bag and inside it, his computer. "Here you go. You're free to test the new game now if you'd like but I must warn you, you'll need this plugged into, well you." He stated as he handed Cecil a two pronged cord. Suddenly he realized. The gas, the metallic feeling in the back of his head, the surgery table. They'd turned him into a computer and the jack was right under his hair. His hand shot up to the back of his head but stopped the moment the scientist started to speak again. "Ah ah ah! Don't touch it! You don't want to hurt yourself! Now I know you have some questions, but please, they will all be answered in time. Please try out the game, the others will be joining you shortly."Seeing no alternative, Cecil reluctantly took the cable and held one end while the scientist outfitted the other end to... "To me." The scientist was right however, as Cecil heard what little clamor from the other rooms die down. The others would be joining in soon no doubt.
