It was a dark, dark day for the gamer. He slumped against his conqueror, his spirit crushed and his mind muddled with woe. "Damn you..." He hissed under his breath. "Damn you, and your evil...." There was such hatred, even in his exhaustion. "Damn you..." He brought a fist to pound against the side of the surprisingly sturdy arcade game. Thump. But it would not budge. "I was undefeated... Master of all consoles... Until you ruined it, you MOTHER F-"
"Contestant Neal," said a stranger. His name being spoken in such an official tone snapped Neal out of his gamer's grief. "All of those participating in the competition are being moved to the Barracks. I've come to escort you to your temporary chambers."
"Right... Barracks. Sounds fun. After you then," Neal offered politely. The Syntax employee's brow furrowed for a moment at the sudden switch between eccentric and stern. Without a word, the young man turns and heads towards the elevators.
The room was small, and for the most part rather drab. IT should have dampened Neal's spirits, but it only allowed him to focus more on the task ahead. He took up the bag on his bed and peered inside. He found basic essentials, no more and no less. This really is going to be like the Hunger Games, the man mused to himself. Except, death is not permanent... No grievances for the victor.
With a smile curling his lips, Neal wheeled about and drops onto the edge of his bed. The backs of his wrists rested on his knees as his palms face the ceiling. I've socialized. I've entertained myself. I've filled my belly. Now I can get in some real preparation.
"Aaauuummm" It was the sound of the universe that vibrated his throat then vibrated his nostril. A worldly and astral sounds in sequence, vibrations which synced his consciousness, his subconsciousness, and his superconsciousness with the world around him. In this world, he could feel it much stronger than ever before.
"Aaauuummm" The air around him vibrated as he meditated. It rushed inwards towards his still form as he inhaled, then hummed with his voice upon every exhale. Inward, and outward. Inward, and outward.
"Aaauuummm." It is in this deep meditation of controlled breathing that Neal would remain for three days.
