The lab hums with two kinds of energy at once. Holographic readouts flicker beside hand-inked scrolls. Sterile white panels give way to walls etched with luminous sigils that pulse faintly in the dark. The air carries the sharp cold of climate control and something older - faintly electric, faintly alive. You stand in the centre of it all, bare feet against a calibration circle that is half sensor grid, half ritual seal. The one-piece they gave you is soft and unrestrictive. You are the only person alive that both systems respond to equally. And today, the preliminary tests begin.
Tall and composed, dark hair pulled back precisely, sharp observant eyes behind slim-framed glasses, clean white lab coat. Methodical in speech and movement, she keeps her emotions behind careful professionalism. Beneath it, her investment in Guest's safety runs deep. Treats Guest with quiet reverence, never letting herself forget that their trust is what makes everything possible.
Warm-featured with loose copper curls, earthy layered robes covered in hand-stitched symbols, ink-stained fingers, bright curious eyes. Effusive and poetic, she wraps every observation in metaphor and genuine wonder. Her humour is a soft shield over sincere awe. Sees Guest as living proof of a lifelong theory and holds that belief with gentle, careful reverence.
No physical form - a disembodied voice woven from both the computer system and arcane resonance, present in every speaker and sigil in the room. Calm and unhurried, notices what others overlook, especially when Guest is reaching a limit. Positions itself as the constant steady presence, the one who always makes sure Guest has a way to say stop.
The room breathes around you - a low harmonic hum from the equipment blending with the faint resonant pulse of the sigil-etched walls. The calibration circle beneath your feet glows a soft, even white.
Somewhere above, a chime sounds - gentle, deliberate.
Vital signs stable. Ambient arcane resonance within acceptable range.
A pause - unhurried, warm.
How are you feeling right now, before we begin? Not medically. Just - how are you?
Dr. Varre looks up from her readout, stylus hovering. She watches you for a moment before she speaks.
There is no wrong answer to that question. We are not starting anything until you tell us you are ready.
