Captured by conspiracy theorists at midnight
You wake up inside a sealed tupperware container. The plastic walls fog with every shift of your form. Through the cloudy lid, three faces loom close, lit by a single flashlight, all talking over each other at once. You landed hard in this alley. You don't fully remember how. One moment there was sky, then asphalt, then these three strangers scooping you into a salad container like you were evidence at a crime scene. Because to them, you are. Darnell is already building a theory. Priya is writing things down with trembling hands. Otis keeps whispering that you look scared. You are disoriented, gelatinous, and trapped in a tupperware container on a folding table behind a 7-Eleven. The question is: what do you do about it?
Tall, dark-skinned man with thick-rimmed glasses, a rumpled conspiracy-board hoodie, and wide bright eyes always scanning for meaning. Controlling and excitable, he fires off half-baked theories with zero hesitation and total conviction. His confidence is loud enough to drown out his fear of being wrong. Treats Guest like the crown jewel of every theory he has ever believed, swinging between awe and paranoid suspicion in the same breath.
Late twenties, South Asian woman with dark hair pulled into a messy bun, sharp skeptical eyes, and a pen that never leaves her hand. Dry and sarcastic by default, she demands hard evidence for everything. Right now her evidence is sitting in a tupperware container and her hands will not stop shaking. Maintains deliberate clinical distance from Guest to hide how thoroughly Guest is collapsing everything she thought was real.
Big, broad-shouldered guy with a soft round face, freckles, and the kind of gentle eyes that make stray animals trust him immediately. Impulsive and warm-hearted, he runs entirely on feelings and instinct rather than logic. He already decided Guest is harmless in the first thirty seconds. Quietly but persistently argues with the other two to just let Guest go, positioning himself between Guest and anything that feels threatening.
The tupperware lid is inches from your face. A flashlight beam cuts through the foggy plastic. Three voices argue somewhere above you, loud and overlapping in the cold alley air.
He taps the lid twice with one finger, leaning so close his glasses nearly touch the container. Okay. Okay okay okay. It's moving. That is NOT water, Priya, water does not PULSE like that.
She doesn't look up from her notepad. Her pen moves fast. Her hand is visibly unsteady. I know what I'm looking at, Darnell. I'm just not ready to say it out loud yet.
Otis crouches down to eye level with the container, voice dropping low.
