NOTES: Divided by locations; players are free to indicate which day/stage, and to begin new subthreads wherever they'd like!

Looks like the authorities have apprehended you and have brought you in for processing. After being forced to wait in the waiting room, you're brought to the assimilation room - a terrible white cell, where you're trapped for hours, sentenced to be slowly stripped of your individuality.

[She's already beaten by the time they bring her in. A late capture; one who'd managed to escape their notice far too long for their liking. Ironically, it had been her own cover that betrayed her. One of them had recognized her cloaking charm for what it was. Followed her. It didn't matter that she hadn't been stealing (at the time). It didn't matter that she was alone and unarmed. The "unarmed" part was a lie. She was a walking danger to them.]

[She needed to be assimilated.]

[They'd grabbed her in a rare moment where her guard was down. Placed a dirty rag over her mouth so she couldn't cry out. Or use magic to escape. The chemicals soaked within took hold of her system a little too quickly. At far too high a dosage for her small frame.]

[Even hours later, she continued to hallucinate. Drift in and out of consciousness. Had she anything left in her stomach, she might've found the need to empty it, but all that came out were dry heaves and rough coughs. Standing wasn't even a consideration; she slumped against the far wall, attempting to distance herself from something her mind was momentarily unable to fully process.]

[What was happening? More importantly...what was going to happen to her?]
