Vreta soon found himself with little room to move, and the creature hovering over him. He had hoped to be able to back away towards the door, but the being was not  really giving him that option. He kept his hand around the metal object behind him, but he did make sure to keep that out of sight. With this [i]thing[/i] right in front of his face, he did not want to show any possible aggression until it was necessary. 

For just a moment, Vreta thought about what this beast could possibly be. It had a Human face and was talking in a child’s voice, about toys of all things. Was it a creation of the simulation, or even worse, some corruption of a person that had entered it? Either way, he needed to think quickly. The thing spoke as a child, so he could lean on that. “I…think that if we left together, the people in that building over there would find us. If we want to get away, we need to sneak away, quietly, and probably separately. But…these ‘toys’ you were talking about. Tell me about them. Maybe I can help find them?”
