Waking up feeling exhausted and heavy is far from an uncommon experience for Zoe, when she can get to sleep at all. Nor is waking up to streaming sun or swaying grass and branches. Typically, though, those are... you know. Through the window.
Then again, well -- nothing's impossible in her life these days. Feeling grass and dirt under her as she starts to roll and turn and give one little gasp awake, a cold pools behind her face and a dry wind blows and turns in her chest - what, is the infection getting worse, did she just -- lose control and blank out and find herself stranded, did she try an escape in some fit of panic...
-- God, why is her head so fucking heavy...!
In front of you, a little dark creature emits a soft-warm "mmmmhhhh..." as it rolls onto a pair of short nubby arms. Pushes its head up off the ground in a heavy loll. Two little points of light starting to light up in the sockets of its mask...
Before flicking bright and round right onto you in a snap.
A disoriented half-shout of:]
-- Ahh -- ?!
[Before it tips backward on itself, one of those arms coming up again in a token "shield yourself" gesture as it starts to wriggle back like an upturned snake her legs aren't working she can't feel her legs what's going on --
A slight wobble and bob and ending break to:]
-- Get back -- ...
[It's not really meant for you to hear; it's more of a "no no no come on come on leave me alone this is not the time for me to be zoomed in on by a fucking monster..."]
