alexander grinned, "I assure you that there are no drugs in the food. I wouldn't like to ruin the taste of Dorian's cooking."

Zoe smiled, the warmth making her feel better. The man lit the fireplace with his hand, magically. So magic was real. He other man was a dragon. She was like something out of a storybook. The world had certainly changed. She wasn't even going to pretend she understood, she just sat on the softest couch she had ever felt and listened to them talk.
The smell of food brought her out of her trance, eyes and posture perking up as her mouth watered. She hoped it was for them.

"Zoe, is your tummy acting demanding as mine ? It has been a very long time since we ate last. I think it's a world record. Last one to eat wins the word record of longest without food, haha." Belly growls loudly. "You might win though, tummy will grow a fork and spoon and eat if I don't."

"I'm starved. I hadn't eaten too well before I was grabbed, and I guess the past, you know, 90 years has caught up with me."
This was the most Zoe had said since she had been, what was the best way to describe it, revived? Maybe it was the shock, maybe it was just she didn't know what to say, but for some reason she was feeling better about her situation. She was alive, changed but alive. For the moment she didn't know what awaited her, but it had been the same in 1985. She didn't know what her next move was going to be back then, and this time it seems she at least wouldn't be alone when she decided what to do from here.
"A hot meal. Some clothes. A shower. And answers. I want to know why I was grabbed, and why anyone would care almost a century later."

"I learned about you via these shadowrunner's." Alexander said, indicating Mach, Gren and Hanzer. "we were on another job and we came across an old file. turns out it detailed an old cryostasis experiment that took some volunteers from the army, and kidnapped street kids and put them on ice to see what happened. we gave the file to our client here for a bonus paycheck, and he offered us our current job to look at the old experiment site and if possible, retrieve any live test subjects."
Dorian came back with steaming super supreme pizza, and bowls of curry and fried rice. after putting them down on a table in the centre of the arrayed chairs and couches, he quickly went back out the door to retrieve fluffy white dressing gowns, giving them to zoe and her compatriot.

"My gosh, look Zoe. Pizza, like. Home."
It is rude of me to take a seat, thought it was not my choice to be taken in this building. "King of this house. Do you officially welcome me to your home, and to a seat and this food ? I don't enter another persons home nor eat their food without being welcome to. It is, well, an honor thing. I don't know why, nor do I remember why." Gosh, now that I think of it, I have not been granted entry by him, the owner of this place. Then again, I didn't have a choice. Zoe seems fine about being here though. And they got food.

Alexander looked at him curiously, then nodded. "I welcome you into my home and into my hospitality. In return I wish for you to accede to my requests and to bring no harm unto myself, my household and those under my protection."

Zoe quickly slipped the coat off and then the gown on , tearing the paper out from under it once she was more properly dressed. She crumpled the paper up into a ball and set it besides her, laying the coat over it so we could return it once she was done eating.
She took a plate of rice and grabbed a few slices of pizza, feeing ravenous as she ate. She tried not to eat too quickly, not wanting to get a stomach ache or worse but it was difficult once the taste of food hit her lips.
"I can agree to that. As long as no one darts me again like on National Geographic."

(DM/GM would my memory be back instantly, or would I be forgetting things ?)
"Do you mean there are other requests besides the not violating everyone's safety part ?" Looks at the food. "Thanks for the food and hospitality, by the way. And I won't do anything savage or barbaric, if that's what you mean. I respect everyone's space and property."

(either remember everything, or remember it in bits and pieces, which ever is better)
"very well, then I will be happy to offer you my hospitality and protection. however I do not even know your names."

"Zoe....um Mapleton. Sorry. It wasn't in our files? I guess it wouldn't be for me. I was drugged the whole time."

"So what else did the files say? Any idea why this happened to us?"
As much as Zoe didn't want to know, she still did. She wanted to know why she had been abducted. Why someone would do this to her. Was she changed like this for a reason? There had to be one.

"apparently it was to study the long term effects of a new method of cryo-stasis on the human body."

"Yea. Something like that. I don't remember much, yet, but I think I volunteered. And my name. I don't remember. We were supposed to have documents on ourselves, but I guess they are gone. It would include our names and social security stuff. If you were abducted for that program, that is low. Then again, not everyone was exactly volunteering their lives away." Looks down, sad face. "But, I guess it worked. For us. Now I am curious to how many more there were that didn't make it out. That will tell us the percentage of the survival rate. But we can't exactly bring justice since the ones who called the shots to abduct are probably long dead by now, so we are just lucky, I guess."
