Nick felt the utterly strange sensation of weightlessness as the world he knew dropped away to blackness.  All of a sudden, he found himself in a small hut.  To be more precise, the bed he was on was soft but quite distinctly scratchy wool when he patted its comforter with his hands.  [color=82ca9d]"Where am Ah?"[/color] he twanged, looking around and patting himself and surrounding objects.  [color=82ca9d]"Is this real right now?"[/color]  As if in answer to his question, a frantic knocking started at the only door of the hut.  Nick made to roll out of bed, but in the process he knocked a sizeable book off of the nightstand next to the bed.  Bending over to pick it up, he recognized it immediately as the one he grabbed off the pillar.  

Deciding to wait on opening the book, he tucked it under his left arm and strode over to the door. Opening it, he beheld a severely bedraggled young woman. [color=82ca9d] "Well howdy do, maybe you can give me some answers here, pretty lady!  Ah am mighty confused right about now.  How 'bout ye come in and tell me who's chasin' ya, huh?"[/color]  He opened the door as wide as it would go, a ninety degree angle, and beckoned with his right hand.  He bowed low gallantly as she crossed the threshold.  [i]Nice! Black lace! Sexy![/i] the darker part of his mind whispered as his eyes spied her smallclothes underneath the white dress.  He also spied some bloodstains all over said dress, but that small detail was lost on him, macho as he was. 

Completing the bow in one smooth motion, knowing from experience that ladies didn't typically mind being bowed to by a gentleman, Nick Fletcher went over and sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly the only seat in the room save for a chair pushed into a tiny desk at the back of the hut. [color=82ca9d]"Maybe you c'n start by tellin' me what this here book is? I grabbed it off a pillar and then Ah (I) woke up here."[/color]  He looked around the hut once more, eyes resting on the door he had just closed on his way across the room.  [color=82ca9d]"And uhh....Ah'm still tryin' to figger out where "here" is. "[/color]
