[Shenandoah]

He had no idea how long it was before he awoke with his cheek pressed into gritty cobblestone. Groggily, he pushed himself up and blinked at hands that weren't his bedecked with rings. His clothes pulled strangely and there were two thin silver braids falling in front of his face glinting in the light of a nearby torch fastened to the wall. It was dark and the details he could see were not all that great, but what details he could see startled him.

He could see. Mazin looked around only to have his eyes fall on the heap that was the blind girl from the log in point. She was unconscious much as he was and he immediately thought of grabbing a revitalizing potion for her.

There were few on the server at this point as most did not log in at this time of night except for the hard-core players or the absolute losers. It made him wonder why Rex hadn't come to kick him out of the booth. Little did he know that his controller that he instinctively grabbed for was on the floor as his true body in the real world was being taken to the hospital as it was now comatose and completely unresponsive.

Rick, now trapped in the form of Mazin, searched for the controller and panicked when he couldn't find it. However, he did manage to find a couple potion vials in his pocket, much tinier than he would have expected and they glowed faint mana green instead of the faint electric blue of a Restore Potion. All of his supplies didn't seem to exist at the moment but at least there was a pouch tied to his belt containing a good deal of the gold he had acquired. He thought that perhaps he should use a spell, but he had no spells on the caliber that would be required to revive someone. And he didn't want to leave her when it was obvious she had been hurt and something was wrong if she (nor he, for that matter) hadn't re-spawned if the injuries were critical enough to have knocked her unconscious.

So, he settled for the next best thing. He reached down, hesitated for a long moment, and then decided to shake her shoulder as he knelt on surprisingly hard cobblestone. If this was an upgrade... it was very unsettling and he didn't want to have any of it.
