Day 1: “Where am I?” | Duct Tape | Darkness
They feel like they’re drowning, being pulled deeper and deeper into the swirling emptiness of unconsciousness. Somewhere in the back of their mind, Miyoko knew they needed to wake up. They needed to drag themselves out of the sea of darkness.
But everything felt so heavy.
And they were so….very tired.
Wake up…
Wake up…
The sea dragged them further down and the darkness seemed inevitable. But there was something… it felt like a tickle in their brain.
“R̶̢̛̛̯̫̱͉͈͈͎̞͚̘͇͊̓͂̈́̓̀̆̓̏̑̈́͊̓̌͑̃̏̈͘͜͠ḙ̴̡̧͔̹̞̰̘̻̉͆̓̕͝͝l̶̡̨̮͈̭̭͔̝̞͖̞̓͋̈́͛̄̃̓̍͐͊͗͜͠a̷̧̧͈͙͙͇̫͎̘̩̲̬̭̬̝̎̏̌̈́͗́͒̌̎̓͘͜͝͝ͅỷ̵̧͖̯̠̲̜͇͎͖̥̭̙͓̱͖͜…Ŗ̴̩̓ȩ̵̭͆l̷̦̼͍͙͊a̴̦̹̩̹͒y̵͇̐… RELAY !”
The radio waves scratched across their consciousness, suddenly clear, clinging to them and feeling like a scream rattling through their head. It jarred them from the sea, Miyoko kicking free and struggling toward the surface.
They wake slowly , opening their eyes. It was still dark.
They become aware of the blindfold over their eyes followed by the binds around their arms. Miyoko moved on from that knowledge, trying to remember how they found themselves in this situation.
Despite the noise awakening them, it seemed quiet now. Cotton and syrup seemed to be smothering their brain and they weren’t sure their quirk was even working. Maybe they’d imagined the yell.
You’ve been drugged , they realized.
Why? How? Miyoko blinked slowly, eyelashes fluttering behind the blindfold. It didn’t matter. Escape was the only thing they should be thinking about. But they couldn’t tell if they were alone, couldn’t tell where they were. Any escape attempt had to take into account that they might be being watched.
Still…at this point if they didn’t take a chance, they weren’t going to get away. So, they started wriggling, pulling at the duct tape on their wrists.
“Hey, stop that…!” Miyoko felt someone grab them by the hair and jerk them forward. They froze their movements at the touch, having confirmed their fears. They were being watched, they’d been drugged and they had no quirk. The silence in their head was drowning them.
Stay calm…stay calm...
Miyoko took a deep breath. Focus…

The blindfold pulled free all of sudden, Miyoko blinking as bright light exploded into their vision. They tensed their muscles, waiting…
