levi wakes

Levi wakes laying on a bedroll in a small room. It’s hardly comfortable, but it’s something. There’s no sign of the Lifebringer- or anyone, really. He'd soon realize his clothes have been changed- gone is whatever they were wearing before, replaced by a simple, robelike outfit entirely in black. His wrist and neck cuffs remain fastened to his body. Morning light filters in from the window, casting the entire small room in a dewy haze. The room is tiny- big enough only to fit the bedroll, a small basin for washing, a chest at the foot of the bedroll, and a low, small writing desk, on which is a folded piece of paper, labeled with Levi’s name, a clay tablet, and a porcelain face mask. The entire room is furnished in plain black tile, and opposite the window is a stone-paneled door leading out. The letter on the desk is written in small, neat script, reads as follows:

Welcome, Levi Alphanzeyauro.

You have been invited to compete in the Lifebringer’s tournament, in this, their hallowed domain. Not only have you received this honor, you have also been selected to compete alongside the Birds, under my leadership. If you have any concerns, or anything suspicious to report, please alert it to my presence. I will be watching you. 

Please wear the mask provided, as it is part of your uniform.

Your Leader, 
Kairas Krosanyouri

The mask was of black porcelain, and would sit on Levi’s face without falling, held there by some kind of magic. It only covered his eyes and upper faced, and mirrored the look of a bird’s face. Despite no eye-holes, Levi would be able to see clearly even with the mask on. The clay tablet was just too big to be held in one hand, and was accompained by a small stylus for writing. Its surface displayed the #group-chat, and would update magically as more messages were sent. (edited)

Levi burst to his feet, quickly crouching down on his hands as well ready to attack. He would react like this at times after they drowned him in a shit ton of drugs during certain procedures. He slowly blinks however. Feeling less restriction on his lower half. Looking down, he picks up some of the fabric between his clawed fingers. Raising an eyebrow as he remembers the interaction he had prior. Looking around, he finally saw the letter. Having to squint as he tried to read it. "Fuckin... using big ass words... ugh I get the gist or whatever you call it." He throws the letter behind him and grabs the mask. He was extremely tempted to try and break it. But if he did, he likely would be 'punished' and bla bla bla. He still wanted to be able to participate in the bloodbath that would happen so he'd play nice for now like he said. "At least they didn't try to put me in some stupid suit like the guards." He grumbled. Leaving his room to explore.
