Groaning, I opened my eyes to see that I was buried under a ton of rubble. Looking up, I saw that the only thing that saved me from being crushed were thre steel girderscoming to a point directly over my head. Thinking back, I realized I had absolutely no idea how I had gotten into this predicament.

"Predicament," I muttered, shifting into a sitting position. "Now there's a fun word. Now...why am I dressed like a dominatrix [+1]?"

Unable to remember that either, I took a few minutes to assess just how much troubleI was in. Amongst the small pieces of debris falling down around me, I saw an orange glow from the west side of my unexpected prision. Carefully crawling over to it, I suddenly flipped to my side swearing in an unknown language.

Grabbing my knee, I saw a rather large piece of glass protruding from it. Wincing, I grabbed the glass shard and slowly removed it from my knee--releasing a stream of curses in the unknown language. Amazed, I watched as tendons, muscles, and skin sewed itself back together once the glass shard was free.

"...Ooookay then."

Reaching the hole that the light was filtering through, I snatched my hand back as several large pices of rubble fell into the space where my hand had been moments before. Sitting back and considering the situation with it's variables, I decidedthat the only way I was going to get free was to bust through.

"Now, if I can avoid the Happy Reaper [+2] once more as I do this stupid, stupid stunt."

Crawling as far as I could to the opposite side of the collapsed hole, I gently turned around to avoid the glass that was rampant on that side. Taking a couple of deep breaths, I ran/crawled as fast as I could towards the light. At the last moment, I crossed my arms over my face and slammed through the wall of the rubble. Just as I rolled clear, the three beams that had protected me collapsed.

"Right then," I said, staggering to my feet. "Off to the WTGR and see who's there."
