( a hooded figure lays unconscious on a 12 x 12 foot dimly-lit carved Stone room)
...*nnnrr*...
( he shakily gets up)
....*eerrf*.
(He begins rubbing his head)
Feels like my head was shoved in a wood chipper....
( looks around)
... Where the fuck am I?.....
( a small winged female in a one piece floats in)
... A tiny winged humanoid.... I wonder what it tastes like.
[ the fariy] what?
[the guy] nothing, I think I'm hungry.
[ the fairy]oh, allow me to get you something master.
[ the guy]...master?... I just met her- I mean you,.. It's hard to think on an empty stomach, and a headache.... The point was don't immediately call someone that;... After being beaten down and or having your Wings ripped off, that's another story.
[ the fairy]excuse-me?
[The guy] never you mind,
( he lays back down)
I'm pretty much useless until.........UNtil food is in my stomach.

[theman]...... Tastes like pus....
( fairy floats in somehow holding a rabbit just off the ground)
[the fairy]here is some food Master!
( she drops it in front of him)
( he just eats it like a f****** snake, starting with the head)
...*mmmmh*..

( stifled laughter)....
[tink]IT'S NOT FUNNY!
[ the man]... Yes it is, I have that much power over you,
( laughs until the sobbing dies down)
[the man]....................... I wonder..

[ Tink] how is this possible dungeon Lords are born with only one ability!..... Wait,... What were you trying to give me?
[ the man] just ones that would make you cry harder: whoring: adept, regurgitate, massage: therro, then I tried the ones I already had and that is why you have useful ones.
[ tink]( only being able to make this face in response) (her jaw droped and started twitching in disbelef and descust)
[ the man] ( laughs similar to how you'd expect a large rodent to laugh)
[the man]that is a beautiful face of disgust.
[tink].............................................................. You are SO lucky my only meaning of existence is to Aid you!
[ the man]......( calmly) Could you give good comparison of our intended relationship?
[tink] ( still a little perturbed)
like gut Flora, but instead of aiding digestion, I was supposed to tell you what the rules were and how to do the things you're supposed to do.
[theman]...mmhh,hmm,.. And after that?
[tink] an extra pair of eyes in the ears, an alarm for intruders, and somebody to talk to.
[ the man].... That's stupid,.... That is really stupid,... Your job could have been filled in by a book with a crude smiley face drawn on it.... Now after I gave you those skills you can actually help,.. hell, you already did
[tink].( a little confused).. How so?
[tm] by demonstrating that the acquiring of a knowledge-based ability is enough to gain the knowledge. Which leads me to believe that gaining the ability adds the knowledge on how to use it. Which means I can put information in people's heads,. oh this is going to be fun,.. But I digress,.. Would you kindly use illusion to turn yourself into a mirror,.. And before you ask the reasoning is one: I want to see, the extent of the skill, and two:..... I just want to see what I look like,... Ever since waking up here my body has not felt... Correct.
[tink]....okaaaay....
(she uses illusion to make herself look like a mirror)
( the guy takes off his robe in one fluid motion, revealing a thin body with a slight pudge, long legs, slender strong-looking arms ending with long fingers, and a thin face with darkbags under the eyes, all completely hairless except for the top of his head sporting disheveled looking short hair that seems to constantly be changing color)
[tm]..... This is not me.
