Emma's head was swimming as she followed the instructions the strange man had left her. This was a room inside the Quarantine Zone, this much she knew. It was rather late, and she was extremely tired, but the promise of getting her memories back... it was too good to pass up. There it was... Room 17-A-05. She opened the door to a strange blue light swimming across all four walls. She quickly stepped in and closed the door, looking about.<br/><br/>"Ah... Ms. Windsor... you arrived..." Came the strange voice of the man from before, standing before a swirling blue portal sustaining itself on a wall opposite the door. "So good to see." He adjusted his tie again and stepped towards Emma. "Before you step into the portal... Ms. Windsor, I want to tell you what you're going to experience." Stopping before Emma, he opened his briefcase and pulled out a piece of paper, closing the case and dropping it to his side. He handed Emma the paper. "Have you heard of the Dead... or Alive Tournament?" The Witch Revenant shook her head mechanically as she read over what was on the paper, an overview of the tournament.<br/><br/>"It's a tournament that's... taken place on an alternate earth from this one... one that I think you'll appreciate in that..." He gave a sharp inhale that chilled Emma's bones. "..Special way." This man had no emotions in his eyes, and spoke eerily. "I will give you the... freedom of choice to choose where you will... arrive in this world. You can either arrive in a place you can rest or... maybe someplace to eat. Either way I think you'll find something to meet both of your... carnal needs."<br/><br/>"Carnal needs? What are you talking about?" The man only adjusted his tie and moved towards the portal.<br/><br/>"The choice is yours, Ms. Windsor. Step through the portal or..." He inhaled again. "Never really know the truth..." Watching the man intently, she walked towards the portal, putting a hand through it slowly, then retracting it. "Step through, or never know..." He repeated. She inhaled some, faced the portal, and stepped in.<br/><br/>Traveling through this portal felt as though she was being pulled in seven different directions, without anything ever touching her. She felt an intense cold as she moved, the swimming tunnel which she passed was nauseating, and when the trip ended seconds after it began, she was expelled, face-first, into a carpeted floor. "Oooooowwwwww...." She groaned, fighting to her feet slowly. This room she was in... she recognized. It was similar to where she came from, but considerably cleaner. She looked around, noticing a large sign which read 'LAX'.<br/><br/>"Quarantine Zone Alpha still?" She droned to herself, looking around. "No... too clean." Holding her head, she tried to shake the headache she gained from entry. There was a rope line set up to a gate, which read 'Dead Or Alive' in large letters above the gate. "Is this where I'm supposed to go?" Looking about for anyone else, she hoped beyond hope that she was not the only one here. After all, you can't have a tournament with just one person.
