Room 5-04

It was strange to wake up in a room like this, stranger still for him not to recognize...anything. Looking around, Iroh wondered if he was having some kind of very unusual dream. Had it been a plant he'd ingested? No, he didn't think so. At least he couldn't recall having consumed anything like that. Recently. Stroking his chin, he pondered the situation when he happened to notice his attire.

"Oh..."

True it showed off that his very muscular body but it was very immodest! Not at all the sort of thing a man of sixty-four should be wearing. Blinking, he poked at it a bit before getting off the bed and shuffling over to the trunk at the end of the bed. Perhaps the nice kidnappers had managed to find him some clothes?

Well, he could hope!

Hallways

After finding himself some proper clothes in his trunk and getting a little bit adjusted to this place, well as much as one could, Iroh went to explore the area. It wouldn't hurt to get to know his surroundings, even if he couldn't understand them. Everything was just so...advanced! As fascinating as it all was, he had no idea how to deal with it.

Ah well, there was little he could do about that. The best thing to do was find a nice hot cup of tea to help him think.

Now if he could just find the way down to the food area...

Iroh gave pause when he was asked that question. Was he so obvious? Ah well, he suppose he did have that new arrival aura around him. Something he supposed wasn't too bad a thing. Smiling, Iroh nodded his head and bowed his head politely in greeting.

"I did. My name is Iroh. What might your name be?"

"My name is Sheba, sir."

She returned his smile and bowed her head back to him. He seemed to be handling his arrival to this place pretty well; then again, in Sheba's experience, anyone who managed to live until they were old enough for grey hair had seen enough in their lives that there was very little that could catch them off-guard.

"It's nice to meet you. Is there somewhere in particular you're trying to go? It can be a little hard to find your way around here at first..."

[whenthelotusblooms]

"Yes, I was hoping to find somewhere that would provide me with a nice hot cup of tea."

After all, what place wouldn't have tea? That was just illogical as far as he was concerned. Tea was delicious and should be enjoyed by all.

"Well, we can try the cafeteria. It's on the first floor."

Sheba paused for a moment, and then continued, "But if you've just arrived, you may need to have a bowl of oatmeal first. I'm not sure how fussy they are about drinks, but if you try to eat anything else before that, you'll get really sick."

The look on her face made it pretty clear that this wasn't a rule she was really okay with. But there really didn't seem to be any way around it...

[whenthelotusblooms]

"Oh my. Then clearly I should take part in this oatmeal first."

Iroh gave a serious nod then smiled at her. He didn't mind having to eat something else in order to drink his tea so long as he got tea in the end.

She smiled back at him, then looked down the hall. "We'll have to take the elevator down unless you want to climb all forty-something floors in this place... come on, I'll show you. It's a little strange, but it seems to work alright."

She didn't doubt that they'd be able to make it down by climbing - Iroh certainly seemed capable - but it did seem like sort of a hassle just for a disgusting bowl of oatmeal and a delicious cup of tea. Sheba was sure Iroh had other things he'd rather be doing with his time.

"...if you don't mind my saying so, sir, you seem to be handling this pretty well." She'd hardly been as composed when she'd first arrived, and she'd seen a fair share of others freaking out a little when they'd shown up, too.
