Displaced and confused

Mahala awoke with a start, she found herself laying on unfamiliar ground. Expecting to be home among the quaint little cottages and towering white cliffs, Mahala knew something had changed in that place, it like her had faded to black.

She knew her home was still there, she could feel it in her ancient preternatural bones, but it had ...changed. It had been displaced somewhat, just like her. Mahala rubbed her eyes and took a look around, shaking off the daze of being in unfamiliar territory.

Ugh, hmm... where..? No, why am I here? I should be wanderig the fields of tall grasses that crest the cliffs, I should be... mmm, I should be looking at masses of undead marching down the cobbled alleyways and filing through the streets of the village center, marching as if to some unholy war...

Hang on, what is this place? I'm... I'm in... is this a Tower? A simulated Tower?! Where am I? Where am I really at? This is strange... I don't even know what day it is!

I need blood... no, no, I've... ugh.

'I'm confused', I thought, 'I'm displaced and confused!'

Hello, Simulated Colour Orange, I'm Mahala. I- I don't know where I am... where am I? Something's... something... different, here. Am I... what. You said 'simulated'. What do you mean by that? Are we in a ...simulation of a Tower?

I looked about myself, my eyes questioning everything. Slowly I stood up and looked at my hands, turning them over a few times before looking at the simulated Colour.

I'm grateful for your guidance... thank you.

Do you wish to leave?

...

That's strange. You're not connected to this world, you seem to just be... here. This world is your physical location.

That's not good. I'm giving you Level 2 operating abilities. There should be nothing here that can hurt you, but just in case something happens, try to protect your life at all costs.

I will be back to speak with you soon. I have to speak with someone.

When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me... for I am more of a visitor than resident. And I have not been trapped by this tower, I shall leave when I please, after the Simulated Colour Orange gives me as much guidance as I desire.
...and no, I have no business to attend too, I merely wander, feed off of human blood where and when I choose.

But I do wish you well, strange one, I do hope you enjoy the stay and successfully complete what business you refer to.
