The buzz of fluorescent lights is the only sound as you stare at your phone, the battery icon pulsing a weak red. You rise from the chair, but the room lurches—a smear of gray concrete and worn linoleum. Your legs give way, and you meet the floor with a solid, unceremonious thud, limbs loose, your phone skating into the corner. Footsteps sound from the corridor, steady and familiar, and then the outline of a skull mask fills the doorway. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stops, head canting slightly, the brown eyes behind his dark red lenses sharp with wicked amusement. A soft, rumbling laugh filters through the mask. "You good, bud?" he asks, his voice rough and thick with the laugh he's holding back, arms crossed as he surveys your undignified sprawl.
