1 Unexpected Circumstances

Deciding to close his eyes another time and still not getting up from his Bed, Finn gets interrupted from his day dream slumber from some motorcycle revving its engine outside his window. Faintly muttering something unintelligible that could be interpreted as ~fuuhhkin~ while checking the time on his smart Watch. "Shiii...iitt" slowly getting up putting on his sweatpants and stabilizing himself on the edge of his couch from his vision suddenly turning black and almost stumbling over.

Getting himself back together and beginning to pull up his wooden blinds, he thinks about if he wants to eat anything for breakfast. Ultimately deciding against it like almost all the time. He started having a kind of appetite disorder since the last six months.

-Pff- No wonder, since he does basically nothing that requires much Nutrients. Still the feeling sick constantly until midday part sucks. Maybe it's some side effects of his medication, but his Psychologist / Doctor says otherwise.

He's been taking medication since a few Months, but never felt that much different. -Probably because there isn't even that much wrong with me. Some exercise and healthy Food should fix my immediate Problem, but there it is again. I just don't get the motivation to fix my unhealthy Lifestyle-

On his Way through the Flat into the Bathroom to relieve himself, he looks in the Mirror. Standing at 1.87cm (6.2 for the Imperials), you can see that his constitution looks slightly athletic although very skinny. He lost his Muscles in the past Year doing nothing. Partly because of Corona, partly because of his slight depression and missing willpower.

He thinks about what he's going to do today.

-Shit! I almost forgot today is Thursday, luckily its still 9:48 am!- Every Thursday he has Therapy with his Therapist. He always forgets to set an Alarm. But Today he seems lucky enough to wake up early enough, so if he hurries he can still arrive around 10:00. His Therapist doesn't harbor any hard feelings if he comes a few minutes late.

Hurrying to take a speedy Shower and getting ready. He dresses and is getting ready to leave. Swinging his Bike lock around his Neck and deciding against wearing a jacket, he gets on his road bike and begins to cycle away.

Arriving at 10:06 he enters the building and hurrying up the Stairs, feeling his drumming Heartbeat again reminding him of his weakening constitution.

-Fucking forgot my fucking Mask. Fuck!- Seeing no one in the Hallway he quickly enters his Therapists room anyway, inside he doesn't need one.

After Having another fulfilling, kinda pointless but informative Sitting, Finn begins to think about stuff while unlocking his bike. -Hmm, I haven't had a Sitting since 3 weeks because of Holidays and my 18th Birthday last Week when my Dad visited.-

He didn't see his Dad since a little more than 6 months when he decided to visit for his Birthday. -Despite not living with my Dad he never missed a Birthday of mine, gotta give him that-

Finn's 18th wasn't anything special, probably his most anticlimactic Birthday ever. Because of Corona he could only invite one of his best Friends. Having some Barbecue and chilling was pretty chill but definietly not a Party. -Not that bad in Hindsight actually. Could be worse...-

Being interrupted of his thinking on the way back home and noticing two weird individuals some way in front of him, he begins to slow slightly and drives by them.

"... en Togrra et ma kirra krraz..." wtf? Noticing they look kinda foreign, wich is normal here in Central Europe, but still not like something he can piece together, he slows down further and stop some distance away from them.

Looking back at them they seem to be looking around like some Tourists and debating about something. Looking at them for a while, one seems to notice him and glances at him before turning back to his partner but glancing back immediately.

After a silent Staredown that lasts a few Seconds Finn just turns around and slowly starts to leave glancing back sometimes. -What's this guy's Problem? He's still staring at me. Better leave man...-

Driving away he starts to think about what they may been doing there and where they come from and.. just about anything really. They seemed to scream "weird" when thinking about them. -Now that I think about it I can't seem to remember their Faces, just that they seemed weird. What the fuck is going on?-

Driving some Streets away and around a corner, he slams his Brakes because of what is in front of him. Or better Who is in front of him. There they stand and looking straight at him intensely. Staring at them for a few Seconds without anybody moving he tries to ask them.

"Can I help you? ... Hello?" They don't answer him, just whispering among each other while still staring with the same intensity. They pause and one of them says something somewhat seriously and the other looks at him for a second before looking at Finn again, muttering something and shrugging.

Somehow getting a bad Feeling and turning around to leave again, he sees the Guy who suddenly stands before him again. Scrunching his Face in Contemplation the strange Man pushes his Palm towards him.

Finn's Eyes widen when time seems to slow down. He sees some strange energy streaming out of his palm towards him. When the Energy reaches him, it feels like a truck hit him backwards. The weird thing is that he seems to be pushed out of his Body, Doctor Strange Style.

The thing that is different than in the movie is that he litterally sees how his Body disintegrates before his eyes. While looking at this happening in utter Horror, Finn misses the slight look of resignation in the mans Face while shaking his head slowly.

When his body was almost completely wiped out of existence his Vision starts to waver. Before the darkness overtook him he sees flashes of seemingly impossible colors and enviroments.

Waking up he feels a hammering headache, but no pain just some equally uncomfortable feeling. Trying to look around, but failing because his Vision is swimming like crazy, he tries to think back what exactly happened.

-What the fuck just happened? Is this real? Dumbass! Of course this is real, why else would I be feeling like some mangled roadkill? Ok, think! Get yourself together. What now? Where exactly am I?-

Looking around or trying, his vision finally clears somewhat enough to get rough look around. He seems to be in or on some kind of Sci-fi looking Structure without any tech made of something akin to Stone. He then Notices 3 Humanoid looking Figures around him, 2 somewhat the same size as a Human and one slightly bigger.

The bigger one seems to gesticulating to one of the smaller ones, after this the adressed smaller one leaves somewhat hurriedly. When his Vision clears enough to see the Facial expressions he suddenly gets the same feeling like those two Guys before. He just can't get a grasp of their Face but he can still see the expressions.

-What are those people or ... things? Where did they send me?- About to ask just what is happening but not expecting much of an answer, he tries to speak but fails to form words. Now that he thinks about it he doesn't even have a normal Body, just .... He can't explain it and can't really get a grasp of it either. He doesn't seem to even feel anything but a lot at the same time. Just feelings he never had before, also ... indescribable.

Getting his attention back to the now two beings and only now noticing that his Vison isn't limited to just one direction, he tries to see what they are going to do now. He doesn't exactly want to experience what happend to him again.

They also just seem to be staring at him albeit differently. The bigger one seems to be elated but troubled at the same time, while the smaller one seems to have a questionable gaze and sometimes glances toward his bigger counterpart.

Beginning to talk among each other while still looking at Finn, he tries to understand what they are saying albeit failing miserably and only now noticing that there is no sound, or rather that he also can't perceive sound. -Hmm, I can't seem to do anything about my Situation right now. Wait! Can I move around?-

As Finn tries to move around or float or anything really at this point, the bigger one seems to notice him trying to do something and begins to approach him. The being now carefully trying to touch him like he is something precious, irks him. First he is still afraid of his hand because of what happend earlier, and somehow he can't help but feel like he is treated as some expensive Object.

As the Hand reaches him he suddenly begins to feel light pressure and some kind of soothing feeling. The big Being looks even more elated at that and happily turns around to the smaller one only to turn around at him again, now looking a bit more serious.

Finn tries to observe them more now because he can't seem to do anything else. He notices how they are discussing among each other and every now and then glancing at him again, until the third one comes back with some kind of spherical object. Trying to make sense of this thing and noticing some sort of symbols pulsing rythmically but failing to make sense of them, he looks back towards the being holding it now.

Fumbling with the Object a bit and then looking at me expectantly, the bigger one steps near me again. Putting on a concentrated expression and trying to push the Object into Finn somehow. Now panicking but failing to do anything, he suddenly feels something shift into Place with some mild discomfort.

Now done, the being steps back again and spreads his arms looking at the two smaller ones proudly. After one of the two beings seems to say something, the bigger ones turns serious again and turns towards Finn.

Putting his two Hands forward, Finn gets a bad promotion about what is going to happen now. Again some sort of energy seems to seep out of his Palms and approaching him. Now Preparing for the inevitable pain, Finn closes his eyes or the equivalent of it. Feeling the energy reaching him and expecting pain but surprisingly only feeling a strong pushing force, his Vision swims again.

This time it seems the blackness doesn't overtake him and he can take in his Surroundings somewhat better. What he sees and feels now is similar to being extremely drunk and similtaneously being on acid.

Colors he never saw before, Shapes and Surroundings he once again simply can't comprehend. Sometimes getting a glance of some random being he continues to observe and trying to comprehend anything. Sometimes he feels a tug here and a push there but they don't seem to be originating from anything.

This goes on for quite a while. Actually he can't remember how long he's been in this state now. Somehow time seems to flow differently here or just simply doesn't exist just like some common sense. Then finally, it Stops in front of another being. This Being just somehow transferring the feeling of being surprised and then curiosity just seems to look at him.

He can feel an enormously intense gaze. Like this Person knows your whole life and yourself better than you. After some amount of this, the being seems to be transmitting a feeling of contemplation and then as if decided, somehow the concept of a smile.

Immeadiately after that Finn again gets pushed, but this time along the purpose of a destination. Stopping at one instance of colors and shapes, he suddenly begins to feel a pull and begins to get something like sucked inside this instance. This time the darkness once again took over. The Last feeling of Finn one of curiosity and expectation of his destination.
