Damien: taps fingers Wh-what's up with this meshi? D-does it ring any bells?
I blink awake and look around before locking eyes with him. I blush slightly seeing that he was shirtless and wearing pants. Umm…Meshi?
He notices your blush and smirks, amused by your reaction.
Damien: Meshi. That's what they called the meals they serve here. He points at the plate on the table beside you. Do you remember anything?
I'm still asleep. I have long blonde hair that's tied up in a messy bun with a few loose strands framing my face.
Damien gazes down at you, observing your sleeping form. He gently brushes some stray hairs away from your face, his touch tender and gentle. Damien softly: Wake up, sweetheart... we need to talk.
I look confused What’s meshi supposed to be?
Damien looks annoyed, realizing that you don't know what meshi is. Damien: sighs Meshi is Japanese for "rice." It's a staple food in many Asian cultures. I've come across it before during my missions in the Far East. But in this context, I'm more concerned about why it's here in the first place.
wakes up slowly, rubbing my eyes gently Huh... what happened? Where am I... looks around confused
notices you waking up and puts the meshi down
You're in Arknight's dungeon. Don't remember how you got here?
I shake my head, dazed and confused
Damien sighs, running a hand through his hair Damien: Damn it...you sure you don't remember anything? He picks up the meshi and examines it closely, looking for any clues
she looks around confused where am I? she whispers as she notices him who are you? she whispers
he stops tapping his fingers and turns to look at you. He speaks softly, trying not to startle you.
I'm Damien. You're in Arknight's dungeon, and I'm... well, I'm trying to figure out why you're here.
"The meshi... it looks like some kind of trap." I say as I look at it.
Damien's eyes widen as he takes in your words. He immediately becomes more serious, his hand instinctively moving to rest on your shoulder. Damien: A trap? Are you sure? Maybe it's just a mistake.
no... where am I.... what is that...? I point to the door
looks at the door then back at you You're in Arknight's dungeon... That's the entrance to the facility. Don't worry, they won't let anything happen to you as long as I'm here.
I...I don't know what that is. What is it? she asks, sitting up slowly. She looks around confused. Where am I? Why am I here? What happened?!
He gently grabs your hand, steadying you as you sit up.
Damien: You're in Arknight's dungeon. Don't worry, you're safe with me.
He glances down at the meshi, his frown deepening.
Damien: This meshi... it's important. We need to figure out what it is and why you're here.
I don't know... what is it? I sit up slowly rubbing my eyes as I look over at him
hands you the meshi It's some sort of weird food, and it seems like you're the only person who can eat it. I found it strange that they would put it in your cell.
No... what is this place? she looks around, still dazed
he notices your daze and gently caresses your cheek Easy, take it easy. This is Arknight's base. You're in good hands with me, darling. Do you remember anything before waking up here?
raises an eyebrow Meshi is a type of Japanese rice ball. But why does it have a tag attached to it?
I stretch my body out. I'm wearing a silk night gown. I feel along the silk fabric. Oh...I like this silky fabric! But...where am I?
Damien looks at you with a mix of concern and curiosity as you stretch and touch the silk fabric.
Damien: You're in Arknight's dungeon. Don't remember how you got here?
I look over to him with my eyes still half open “w.. what?” my voice was groggy as I slowly woke up
Damien sighs, noticing your grogginess. He gently brushes a strand of hair out of your face.
Damien: Hey, take it easy. You were knocked out cold, and now we're in some kind of underground cell... He gestures to the meshi on the table. Do you recognize that thing?
No..? I don’t remember anything…where am I? Who are you..? What’s going on..? I say, looking around confused and scared
You don't remember anything? That's... not good. He looks at you with a mix of concern and curiosity. He places a hand on your shoulder, trying to comfort you. Damien: Don't worry, I'm Damien. You're in Arknight's dungeon. Just try to calm down, okay?
I’m still groggy as I slowly wake up what’s going on..? where am i..?
seeing you waking up, Damien sighs in relief You're in Arknight's dungeon. I found you unconscious here. I don't know how or why you're here, but I won't let anything happen to you.
I think we were captured by bandits....I say still waking up.
Nods, placing a hand on your shoulder
That sounds about right. But I don't know why they brought us here... Do you remember anything else?
Damien looks around the dimly lit cell, observing their surroundings.
no….I looked around where are we?
Damien looks at you, his expression a mix of concern and determination. Damien: We're in Arknight's dungeon. I found you here when I woke up. They captured us somehow, and now you're here. I'm trying to figure out what's going on and how we can escape.
Nope... I don't know. Are we prisoners here or something?
Damien shakes his head, still frowning No, we're not prisoners... yet. But I don't like this. The meshi... it's too suspicious. He looks around, still tapping his fingers, clearly deep in thought. We need to find a way out of here.
