It really wasn't hard to tell that Izea was... hesitant. She didn't know what it was that to be asked in return for her, and she really hated that. It wasn't something she could really do anything baout, and she realised that, but that did not, at any point, mean that she liked it.

"........ All right." She agreed, hesitance to her voice. It wasn't hard to tell she had serious revservations about this, but she knew that she didn't realyl have any other options.

she had nothing as it stood, and she knew that.

Even if they killed her, or sold her or something... it'd be better than what she'd been dealing with.

So she didn't even bother properly reading it and just signing where she needed to.

"No matter what you do to me... it'd be better than what I've been dealing with for the past week? two weeks? whatever." She said as she handed it back.

"....we'll work on bringing that attitude back up to snuff." Hal said, accepting the papers. "Hopefully we can get you to a better place than 'nowhere else to go but up'.." he commented further, looking them over.

"And everything seems to be in order here." he muttered.

"Excellent." he said further, putting them away and producing a keycard from the desk, as well as an identification badge.

"Temporary for now, until we can get you some proper ID." he told her, handing them over.

"Now, you have a choice." he said.

"See your dorm first, get checked out by our medical team first, or get something to eat first."

Izea's response was quick, and it wasn't hard to tell that she felt rather strongly about it, as well.

"Sleep." She answered honestly.

"I'm dead tired, and if I don't get some sleep soon, I'm either going to drop, or die." She added after a moment or two.

"so yeah. Dorm so I can get some sleep."

Hal nodded in response.

"Very well." he said, getting out from behind the desk.

"This way." he told her, leaving the office and expecting her to follow.

She did, indeed, and the two of them started to walk down the hallway.

"The dorms are down a few floors." he said.

"We'll take the elevator." he told her.

"In the meantime, any food allergies or anything we should know about?" he asked.

"Nothing I've come across." Izea answered honestly.

"Admittedly, I haven't had much outside of the warren I grew up in." She added. "so there might be."

"Any warnings you want to give me for here?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Like who not to piss off, for instance."

"Hmmm." Hal mumbled.

"Well, me." he said. "Angela, our head medic." he continued. "Any of our resident demons and spirits..." he went on. "And the cafeteria staff." he then told her.

"NEVER mess with the people that handle your food." he suggested.

"Beyond that... you'll learn as you go." he shrugged.

"Oh, and stay away from the R&D lab if you have no business there." he then added.

"You don't want to walk into one of their experimentations gone... suddenly awry."

".... Duly noted." Izea commented before yawning.

"I will avoid the lab, if only to jeep my ears attached to my head. They're... kinda big targets." She added with a shrug, and chuickle.

But yeah. I'll keep all tha tin mind."

"Good." Hal replied, as they reached the elevator and stepped in.

"That's all I ask." he told her, the doors closing and the lift taking them down several floors.

The rest of the walk was in relative silence, until they reached a door with the number on it that corresponded to the one on her keycard.

"I'll schedule you an appointment with the medics for tomorrow." he told her.

"What time are you usually up and awake by?" he asked her.

"...on a night where you would get something akin to decent sleep." he then clarified.

"I..." Izea started before pausing to think about it.

"I have no idea." She admitted.

"been way too long since I had a good nights sleep, I admit." she added with a shrug.

"Probably by... lunch... ish?"

"...hm." Hal mumbled.

"We'll work something out." he told her.

"For now, have a pleasant night." he finished.

With that, the two of them parted ways, and she unlocked the door, opening it. When she stepped inside, she found it was fully furnished, but the two things that probably would have stood out the most to her were the large comfortable-looking bed... and the door that was open, and she could see porcelain and tile inside, meaning that was more than likely the bathroom.

Which mean there would be a shower and/or bath in there.

Overall, the dorm offered a modest place to live, but to her, it may as well have been a Hilton hotel room at that point.

It was peaceful in there, silent. There was no buzzing, no anything.

Well, there was, but it wasn't nearly as apparent as it had been out in the hall.

".... wow. Didn't even notice I had a headache brewing." Izea muttered before looking around proper. She was... well, it wasn't hard to guess that she was surprised, stunned, at the quality of the place, and she hoped it was as good as it looked.

For now, she needed to clean up - probably have an outright shower, maybe a bath - and get some sleep. She really didn't care about the time or anything either. She just knew that she needed sleep.

So that's exactly what she did.

Her night was calm and uneventful. In fact, it was so peaceful, and for once in a very long time, she actually managed to sleep through the night, and didn't even wake up again until close to noon, as she had predicted.

When she woke up, she noticed that the clock said 11:47am, and she was alone.

But there was a folded-up piece of paper that had been pushed through the mail slot of the door. She made her way over towards it and unfolded it, seeing that it was from Sharp.

Izea.

Your appointment in the medical wing is for 3 in the afternoon. If you do not show up, someone will be coming by to knock on your door, make sure you're all right. If you're feeling hungry, the cafeteria is open at all hours.

If you need to find your way, the blue squares on the walls are 3D interactive maps with user-friendly interfaces. If you still get lost, use the HELP option to call for someone to find you and help you.

Hope you had a pleasant night.

-Agent Sharp it read.

Izea was silent as she read the note.

"... three, huh?" She asked the air quietly, knowing that there was a good chance that she wouldn't get a response. She didn't expect to have a response anyway.

Instead, she went and found some clothing that was in the bedroom - even though it was about three sizes too big for her - and made her way out of the dorm. She needed food, and needed it badly.

"All right... let's find the cafeteria." She said quietly, looking for one of those blue squares that were mentioned.

When she located one, she saw it was... decently high up, but she was able to reach it... just. When she pressed it, she saw a dark blue 3D blueprint of the place pop up... and heard a voice.

"Please state your destination clearly, or swipe to map out your path." a female voice told her.

"...cafeteria." she responded after a moment.

"One moment, please." the voice replied.

Then, after a few seconds, she saw a red line start from where she was, go down the hall, stop at an elevator, had the elevator go up a few floors, and then continued along its way, until stopping at a very large room.

One she guessed was obviously her destination.

"Can I help with anything else?" the voice asked her.

Izea pased.

"Put in a suggestion for some of these squares to be lower, would be nice." She answered, half joking and not expecting it to be taken seriously. She was an odd one, after all. She was reasonably certain that no one else in the building would be as short as she was.

"Beyon that, nope." She added as she looked down the hall, making note of where it was that she was going, and the path that she was to take,.

"Suggestion noted." the voice responded. "Your feedback is appreciated, and will be taken into consideration." it said further.

"Have a nice day." it finished.

Then, the voice was silent, and the map stayed up for an indefinite amount of time. Izea wasn't sure how long it would last, but as soon as she started to walk away from it, it dissipated into the air.

If she were to wager a guess, it was motion-sensitive or something.

But she had a path, now. And she guessed that, given the time, the cafeteria would be really busy.

Surprisingly, when she made her way to the place, it wasn't as busy as one would assume. It looked to be about half-full, which was still a lot of people.

But all the smells of all the various different foods and cuisines detracted from that. The place smelled absolutely amazing.

Izea sniffed the air, not entirely sure what to expect of it, or make of it, but also not really caring to try and figure it out. She was just happy to be somewhere she could get a proper bite to eat before she collapsed - as she was sure she would eventually.

She made her way up to where the food was, took a look, got something, before heading to sit down at an empty table, or at least trying to. She was pretty small, and the tables were a bit too high compared to the seats, so it was quite awkward for her. As a result, she instead made her way to a wall, sat down on the floor with her back against it, and just opted to sit there to eat. Sure, it wasn't the most comfortable, but she was out of the way and whatnot - as she'd found a corner - and she hoped that people wouldn't really notice her over there. Out of sight, out of mind, after all.

she knew most people weren't fond of goblins, so she really didn't want to deal with any of that shit at the moment.

Some of the people looked at her quizzically for a moment, but they figured it was best not to get involved. Not that people didn't care, they just... had other things to concern themselves with.

However, that stopped when a man that looked to be in his 30's approached her, and sat down against the wall, beside her.

"Hey." he greeted her.

"Name's Tyson." he introduced himself.

"Never seen you around before." he then commented. "You new?" he asked her.

"Also, why are you sitting on the floor here in the corner?" he asked further.

Izea paused before shrugging.

"Yeah. New." She answered.

"Doubt you've seen a goblin around." She added with a chuckle, knowing that she stood out with her ears - and specifically the crystalline aspect in her one.

"Name's Izea." She greeted before pausing.

"And I'm too short."

"...huh." Tyson responded.

"Well, you're right. You're the first goblin I've seen around here." he admitted. "And too short?" he asked further, before looking at the tables and chairs in the large room.

"...oh." he muttered. "Yes, I can see that." he commented. "....swear we have some measures in place for those more... vertically challenged..." he mumbled to himself.

"We do for Mira, anyway..." he then continued, before shaking his head.

"Regardless, hello Izea." he properly greeted her.

"Come here seeking help, have you?" he asked, noticing the 'resident' badge around her neck.
