Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

[soniaroadsqueen]

Waking up in an utterly unfamiliar place was extra distressing when you'd spent your entire life inside a single laboratory facility. The little girl with the oddly-shaped pupils had hidden sat in the room she'd found herself in, curled up with her knees against her chest in the corner, waiting for someone to come find her and take her back to where she was supposed to be.

She had felt a little bit of curiosity, a little desire to explore, but she'd resisted the temptation because she knew she'd get in a lot of trouble if she were caught somewhere she wasn't supposed to be.

Of course, huddling in the corner doesn't do anything about the need for food, and at some point she couldn't resist any longer. Slowly, carefully, she'd stood up, smoothed the light robe that looked quite a bit like a hospital gown more out of nervousness than because it was rumpled, and opened the door to the room. Tip-toeing down the hallway, she found herself in a larger room filled with all sorts of unfamiliar equipment. She had to jump to look on top of the counter to find a box of cereal that someone had left out.

Which was why she was sitting on the floor, leaning back against the counter, eating fistfuls of cereal out of the box and looking around nervously.

[ooc: This always said Saturday, what are you talking about?]

Khadgar was used to waking up in an unfamiliar space, since he still hadn't learned his way around Dalaran, but this place was even more strange, and he was happy to see another person in one of the bigger rooms. "Hi," he said, cautiously staying by the doorway. "Is that good?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

Cross-shaped pupils snapped up, looking worried. But she didn't recognize the speaker, and she basically never met new people.

"Um." She hesitated, licking her lips. "Yes?" She peered at him, trying to decide if she should be worried or not.

[spell_chucker]

Khadgar put his hands up defensively and only took one step closer. He wasn't that good with stranger either, really. "I just wanted to make sure the food in here was okay to eat. I don't want to have to go outside yet," he said.

[soniaroadsqueen]

She blinked big eyes, then nodded slowly.

Then, after another moment, she held out the cereal box to him, her fingers covered with cereal dust. "Would, um, would you like some?"

[spell_chucker]

Khadgar grinned and nodded, reaching into the box for a handful of cereal before shoving some of it into his mouth. "Oh you're right, this is good," he said, making sure to swallow before he said anything else. He did still have some manners, thank you. "I'm Khadgar, it's nice to meet you."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Khad-gar," she repeated, over-emphasizing each syllable. Then she ducked her head shyly. "I am Two-One-Three." Officially, she didn't have a name.

[spell_chucker]

"That's a strange name," Khadgar said, popping some more of the cereal into his mouth. "Do your siblings have numbers for names too?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"I-is it?" She looked down at the floor. "I wouldn't know. I, um, don't have any siblings, but everyone else I know has a number?" Except the scientists, but she didn't know any of their names, either.

"Is Khad-gar a very common name?"

[spell_chucker]

Khadgar frowned and shook his head. "Some of my siblings got named after relatives, but I don't know where my parents got my name. But then, I don't know where this place they sent me to here is either."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh." She sighed. "I was hoping you knew." She looked around a bit helplessly. "I, um, don't think that this is the laboratory."
