Alright everyone.
Here comes the start of Act 2.
(1am, 5th day after Rieno)
Tashigi POV:
Falling
Falling
Falling through darkness
I gasp, eyes flashing open as I shoot straight up, stare wide at a wooden wall as my hands grasp at bed sheets.
Falling
Falling through dark-
Where-
"HAA-!" I gasp- a thousand knives shred my intestines- guttural and desperate- pain radiating in thick groggy waves as I curl into myself and freeze, arms crossed and fingers grasping at my shoulders as every muscle goes rigid, ever tendon snaps tight.
Falling
Falling
I'm not falling
"-eehsk-" I suck in air through my teeth, vibrating like a cold piece of rubber ready to snap as the shredding dulls to numb fire. The sensation of falling gone, I flit bleary eyes open again to see wooden panels forming a wall in front of me, cracks running along with the grain and knots of the oak boards, lines blurred as vision struggles to focus.
My fingers dig into my arms, grasp tightens.
Where am I?!
Falling,
I'm not- What-?!

"Hold on-" I whisper, eyebrows furrowing as I stare at the wall, memories a whirl and a flashing instant, sick ball of hysteria choking my chest as a thousand screaming questions demand attention-
-whendidweget-where'sZo-?-marinescorrupt?!-livetotelltruth-?!-didIkill?-!
This-!
I take a shuddering breath, eyes still wide, darting all across the room, every hair standing on edge- calm down- have to be ready-
oooooookaaaaay lots to unpack-
Wait! no! No unpacking!
Focus on immediate issues!
WHERE THE HECK AM I?!
Rieno?! Prison?!
"Deep breathes Tashigi," I whisper to myself, eyes flit, glances slower as I start seeing, frantic panic starting to spike as I find no familiar bearings. "We can get out of this. We-"
My gaze stops on a tattered piece of black cloth hanging in the corner behind a shelf filled with books and vials, sakura blossoms floating in front of a skull n bones.
Pirates?!
!BANG!
"AH!" I screech as a door slams, jumpi-
OW.
OW OW.
"-Oh! Ms Bushido?-"
The woman's voice sounds far away as I groan and slump forward, pain blinding.. weak..
